Although Chen Mo was in the steel suit, he still sensed John Jacob Astor's small movements, and knew that he thought he was dreaming just now.

With a disdainful smile in his heart, Chen Mo controlled Jarvis to open the suit.

"Buzz~Buzz~Click~Click~"

The sound of the machine running and the armor opening and closing sounded continuously, and under the stunned gaze of John Jacob Astor, the pitch-black and cold steel suit was like a transformer's transformation, and the front armor quickly spread out to the sides, revealing the tall and mighty figure inside!

Chen Mo, who was wearing a delicate suit, walked out of the open armor slowly, casually tidied up the somewhat wrinkled sleeves, Chen Mo walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down casually, looking up at John Jacob Astor with a frightened face on the opposite side, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his voice was extremely cold and said slowly.

"I'm here to thank you for helping me buy so much land, and for sending me more than a dozen good horses tonight."

John Jacob Astor was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but looking at Chen Mo's skin color and facial features, which were obviously different from those of white people, and in connection with what Chen Mo had just said, a name quickly appeared in his mind.

"It's you!"

John Jacob Astor never imagined that the stupid and backward Chinese merchant in his eyes would have such ghostly abilities, magical steel armor that could change and fly, and the ability to easily break through strong houses, all of which shocked him.

"Who the hell are you?!"

John Jacob Astor's voice trembled, Chen Mo at this time was completely different from the Chinese merchant in his impression, was he a human or a ghost, or an angel sent by God to punish him?

Ignoring John Jacob Astor's question, and ignoring the crankiness in his heart, Chen Mo waved his hand and released the dozen or so gunmen who had just been killed by him from the space and threw them on the ground in the study, where more than a dozen corpses were piled up on the ground into a hill, and John Jacob Astor was terrified.

How could these corpses appear out of thin air? Is he really an angel? Or is it a messenger of hell?!

"I've sent them on their way to the people who came to help you deliver the horses, and now it's time to send you to accompany them."

Chen Mo's cold words sounded in the ears of John Jacob Astor, and at the same time, John Jacob Astor also saw a familiar face from the pile of corpses on the ground, the eyes were wide with anger, and his face was originally full of hideous and vicious, but at this time it was a terrified face, wasn't it his number one killer, Rex!

……

That night, the richest man in the United States, John Jacob Astor's luxury villa in the New York City area exploded and caught fire, the entire villa was turned into ruins in the explosion, the fire burned extremely fiercely, and the fire brigade arrived at the scene and tried for a long time to extinguish it.

Fortunately, the vicinity of John Jacob Astor's mansion was relatively empty, and there was no wind that night, so there was no more damage.

Hours passed, and the sky was almost dawn, and the fire gradually subsided, and John Jacob Astor's luxurious villa was completely burned, and even the corpses were turned into flying ashes, and all that was caused by a heavy high-explosive bomb loaded in the leg armor of the steel suit released by Chen Mo in John Jacob Astor's study.

After the fall of John Jacob Astor, his property was quickly auctioned, and the large piece of land he had bought at a high price was all taken by Chen Mo at a price much lower than the original price.

After all, those lands were too remote, and no one was interested in them except Chen Mo.

Moreover, the story of Chen Mo and John Jacob Astor vying for control of the fur trade in Missouri had spread quickly with the appearance of the Indian warriors who had arrived in Manhattan, and John Jacob Astor had suffered a loss in the Missouri area and had fought against Chen Mo and intervened in his acquisition of the lands.

But just after he had bought all the remaining land near New York City, his villa exploded and caught fire, and the explosion that had razed the villa to the ground, the powerful explosion, and the horrific fire that lasted for hours, was clearly man-made.

Anyone who has a heart can guess that this must be inseparable from Chen Mo.

However, there is no monitoring in this era, all this can only be said to be speculation, and there is no evidence to prove that Chen Mo has anything to do with this incident, just like John Jacob Astor did with those competitors at the beginning.

In the United States today, the laws are far less powerful than those of later generations, where killing and darkness are staged every day, and wealth and power are the foundation of a foothold in this country.

John Jacob Astor was just a little spice for Chen Mo in the long time he would spend in this world, and after going out for a ride in a steel suit, testing weapons, and destroying them by the way, Chen Mo quickly left him behind and continued to set up his arrangement.

When the four districts of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island had not yet been officially assigned to New York City, and merged with Manhattan to form the five districts of New York, Chen Mo had already bought all the land in New York decades in advance, except for the lower Manhattan district, and even the New York urban area located in the south of the lower Manhattan that has now been developed, and the remaining land in the northern part of the lower city that is about to be developed and built, have also been bought by Chen Mo.

At this time, Chen Mo has become the real master of New York in the future.

It will also be his home base for more than 100 years to come.

However, Chen Mo's enclosure did not stop there, New York was just the beginning, after winning almost the entire New York, Chen Mo began his really crazy enclosure action.

From the beginning of the 19th century to the present, through land purchases from European colonial powers and foreign wars, the United States has successively acquired large territories in the west, including Oklahoma and Texas in the southwest, and Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in the northwest.

Unlike the eastern region, where the soil is fertile and the climate is suitable, which is suitable for the development of agricultural planting and the establishment of farms, these lands in the west are relatively barren and not suitable for growing cereals, but they are conducive to the growth of pastures, and the land in the west is flat and broad, vast and sparsely populated, which is very suitable for the development of animal husbandry.

After completing the preliminary layout of the New York area, Chen Mo set his sights on the west.
