So, Richie said that Sean rarely contacted him, and Russell believed it, but that didn't mean that Richie couldn't contact Sean!

Besides, if you don't contact you often, you'll know that Sean often wears gloves on the back of his left hand once?

"Mr. Sennar, the opportunity is fleeting, and if you want to live, you must answer my words seriously."

"He... He's got something to do tonight... Jean, let me and Finn meet you, he... He really has a scar on his left hand! He wore gloves and a cane when he went out in public! Don't, don't kill me... I don't know anything, I don't know anything..."

Clang!

The sound of gunfire echoed through the empty casino.

Russell looked at the corpse on the ground, recalling Richie's words.

"Something tonight... It can't be such a coincidence. ”

He glanced at the time, seven thirty-four.

It took fifteen minutes to get back to the Peninsula from Lantermore Street, and Astor invited him to the party at eight-ten, which was not enough, but it was enough.

He walked back to the corner of the street and saw the dilapidated Ford parked on the side of the road, Tommy and Sain were hiding in the corner and were vigilant, and when they saw him come out, they hurriedly opened the car door.

Immediately, the three of them got into the car and left.

Inside the car,

Tommy reported, "Boss, our man didn't suffer a gunshot wound, but Adam's cousin broke his foot when he ran away. ”

"Well done, you didn't panic at the first fire, but did exactly what I ordered, and you are already a qualified security officer, but you are still far from the advisor."

"When you go back, you should always practice marksmanship and physical fitness, and it is best to come into contact with veterans who have fought in battle."

Tommy nodded in response, "Okay!" ”

They all know that they are holding the boss back tonight. Even if the boss comes alone, he can kill the other party without leaving a piece of armor, and the reason why he brought them here is completely to let them see the world.

"How do you feel about the city of New York now?"

Tommy laughs: "I feel very happy. ”

"Happy America." Sain added.

Russell noticed an increase in the two's sense of humor, perhaps through exposure to Italians.

He laughed: "The happiness now is short-lived, but we want to keep him happy for a long time." First of all, it is necessary to make Lantermore Street continue to be happy, but also to make the Upper East Side and Hallem District happy. ”

Tommy replied thoughtfully: "Boss, I understand, when I have free time, let the brothers go to practice guns." ”

It was a little bit of a problem, and he really grew up, and he didn't need Russell's teaching in the future.

It was 7:54 a.m. when Russell rushed back to the Peninsula Hotel.

When she got back to her room, Ruth was already dressed and waiting, and her suit was ironed and laid neatly on the bed.

She served Russell to change clothes, looked at each other in the mirror and smiled, and then the two collided, outlining the adhesive ink.

Bang Bang!

There was a knock on the door.

The two couldn't help but say goodbye, and Ruth hurriedly sorted out his suit for him and followed him to the door.

Open the door.

Outside the door was Astor's maid, who saw Russell bowing respectfully.

"Hello, Mr. Walker. Can we go? The car was waiting downstairs. ”

"Let's go."

Ruth took him by the arm and followed his steps outside.

While the maid was leading the way, he was also explaining to Russell who the guests of today's party were, apparently informed by Astor in advance.

In addition to the surviving celebrities and aristocrats of the Titanic, there are also local New York tycoons from all walks of life, as well as a few special guests - regular guests!

Russell didn't ask about Sean's whereabouts, which would reveal his purpose in advance. Besides, whenever Russell mentions Sean to the other party, the other party is already dead.

Russell had been seen up close at the church and on Lantermo Street, and the people who could see his face were also dead.

He can't do anything that leaves a conflict of tongue or suspicion.

Located near Houston Street on the Lower East Side, Manhattan is now nearly complete in terms of infrastructure, with churches, schools, fire departments, police stations, hospitals, and ......

It's just that it's a lot different from the 21st century, after all, it's only been a few years since the electric age.

Outside the huge estate, there are many cars parked, including Chevrolet, Ford, Rolls-Royce, Audi, Cadillac...... There are also luxury papal two-seater cars.

People were dressed up, with ladies dressed in ladies or gowns, and men in tuxedos and bow ties.

The car stopped, the maid got out of the car first, opened the rear door and asked the two to get down.

"Mr. Walker, Mr. Astor is in the hall on the first floor of the manor, you can just go over there."

Entering the manor, you will be greeted by a fountain, a swimming pool on the left, a platform on the right, and the main building of the manor can only be seen after walking fifty or sixty meters inside.

Ruth took Russell's arm and whispered, "People here are hypocritical. ”

Russell smiled: "You are more hypocritical, you can't think in your heart, but your mouth is very hard." ”

"Oops... I, I'm having fun. ”

Russell instructed, "Tonight, your task is to get acquainted with all the ladies present, understand?" ”

"Understand, Mr. Walker, rest assured, if I want to be hypocritical, none of the ladies present can compare to me."

Russell smiled: "Of course, you are a water elf with countless forms. ”

"Yikes! Don't make fun of me, I'm going to have to do it later—" Ruth shrunk her neck.

During this time, the two got along very harmoniously, and it was a normal couple relationship during the day, but at night it became a master-servant relationship between the emperor and the palace maid.

So much so that when it was dark night, Ruth trembled with fear...

Entering the main building, someone noticed Russell.

"Mr. Walker!"

"Oh! It's finally waiting for you. ”

"Originally, I was in Yonkers, but when I heard that you were coming, I immediately came by car."

Russell was not flattered, after all, he had saved the lives of many celebrities and nobles present.

Of course, if it weren't for the support of top nobles such as Aster, most of these celebrities and nobles would also be ungrateful, and would neither recognize his life-saving grace nor give him respect.

That's why Russell boarded the ship and befriended Astor, Yin Sido and others.

Russell smiled and greeted everyone.

Astor chatted with a few people in the distance, and when he saw him there, he clapped his hands and said, "Tonight's protagonist is here!" ”

"Mr. Astor, you lifted me to the sky, don't let me fall."

"Haha, whoever falls down you won't fall, come, I'll introduce you to a few friends."

Russell walked over and saw three men dressed as European gentlemen in wine-colored tuxedos, gold-rimmed glasses, and pestle canes.

"These three surnamed Pulitzer, a family of news media in the United States, will report the news tomorrow under the leadership of the Pulitzer family and be published in the four major newspapers."

"This is Russell Walker, from London, England, a former explorer, now preparing to open a security company, he is very professional, you should understand what I am talking about."

The three Pulitzers nodded in unison.

"I understand that it is indeed very professional to be able to arrange the evacuation work in such a dangerous situation in an orderly manner."

"Thank you for the compliment, Russell Walker."

"Jon Pulitzer."

The other two also introduced themselves.

At this time, Yin Sido and his wife Ida came over and explained that Mrs. Brown was absent from the meeting because her family was seriously ill and could not leave, and everyone expressed great understanding.

And Mrs. Gordon, immersed in the grief of Gordon's death in a shipwreck, did not participate, and there were more than a dozen such celebrities and nobles.

As for the Guggenheim, he went to Toronto to discuss business and did not come back.

Mr. Yoon, a former congressman from New York, has a high status in the city, introducing Mr. Russell to several regulars, as well as inductees who are about to run for Congress.

When introducing a man in an overcoat, a pestle, and a glove, Russell's heart was unusually excited, and then quickly calmed down.

"Sean Thompson, Mr. Walker, I have a lot of respect for you, you saved a lot of people, and I admire your heroic deeds."

"Thank you for your compliment, in fact, the people who survived in times of crisis are all because of their experience and their own qualities, and they have little to do with me."

Astor laughed on the side: "Walker, don't be modest, being modest in the United States is the original sin." ”

"Oh, well, I'll admit it."

"Haha..."

One of the guests laughed, "This is a young man who can listen to advice. ”

"Listen to people's advice to eat a full meal, a proverb in the ancient orient."

Sean is inconspicuous in the crowd, and his identity is the president of the Irish Civilian Association, a civic organization. Although he is running for parliament, his votes are not high, only about 100,000 votes for Irish people.

Russell didn't have much contact with him, but just followed Astor and Yin Sido among the nobles and celebrities, and toasted from time to time.

Everyone present was very face-saving, because to give Russell face is to give Astor and Yin Xiduo face, these two old guys are usually inconspicuous and seem to be very good at talking.

Actually, it's a ghost......

Two or three laps of communication, and finally Astor

"We have been in contact with the British investigation team and the New York investigation team these days, and we have clearly explained to them what happened to us, and only when they agree with them are we ready to report the incident."

Yin Xiduo said solemnly: "And you, Walker, you will be the first supporting character in this incident." ”

The Titanic is the absolute protagonist, which cannot be contested.

"You're going to make a name for me?"

Astor looked at Yin Siduo and said, "Look, I'll just say that with his ingenuity, he can understand it at all." ”

"Okay. That's true, how? You don't want to? ”

Russell shook his head: "That's not true, it's just that the greater the fame, the greater the responsibility." If I had made a name for myself in the United States because of this, I wouldn't have had a very peaceful life in the future. ”

"There are pros and cons to everything, and as long as the pros outweigh the cons, it can be done," Astor said. ”

"That's right."

Russell smiled, "Thank you. ”

"Haha, you're welcome, we're friends in life and death!"

At that time, Yin Sido and Aster, Guggenheim, and Gordon rode on a simple raft, but only three people survived, and this matter was known not only to Russell and Tommy, but also to the five vice Lowe.

But it is impossible for Lowe to say it, he has been bought by Aster, and after the investigation is over, Lowe will resign from White Star Shipping and follow Astor to do things, which is the best result.

They survived the shipwreck and boarded a new ship.

"Mr. Astor, this manor is your property?"

"No, this is J.P. Morgan's estate, he's a banker... Although the profession was frowned upon, Morgan was a conscientious banker, at least his bank did not fail. ”

"Oh, he was on vacation in France at the time and wanted to get on board together, but he had a good time in France and changed his mind at the last minute...... I have to say that he escaped and was very lucky. ”

Russell laughed and said, "Death is disgusted with him." ”

"Haha, that's right, Morgan must be very happy to hear it."

Morgan provided the manor to provide a gathering of the surviving nobles and celebrities of the Titanic, also in order to keep a good reputation.

Since it is not the industry of the Asters, Russell is much more relieved.

After all, you can't let the corpse pollute your friend's house.

At this time, Russell saw Sean hurrying out of the hall, as if something had happened.

Russell said to the two quietly: "I lost my company first, and Ruth seemed to be moved by the enthusiasm of the ladies and cried. ”

Astor frowned and looked at the pile of women on the side, and sure enough, he saw Ruth hanging her head and covering her eyes.

"Go ahead."

Yin Xiduo reminded: "Come and drink later." ”

"Okay."

Russell responded.
