Two strange events are being rumored in New York aristocratic circles.

The story is kind of scary...and here's how it started.

There is a very powerful family of the Republicans who ran into a ghost in the middle of the night. When they woke up early in the morning, they found blood on the bed and two dogs' heads under the bed!

This frightened the hostess and hostess, and the hostess was even paralyzed and leaked urine...

The walls of another Puritan family were filled with words like 'God let you live, I let you die' written in bright red blood.

Members of this family are the president of the Children's Defense Society, and his wife is the vice-president of the All-Women's Association.

The news of these two strange incidents was circulated from the "New York Late Night News", which also allowed the victims to identify the murderer.

But they didn't have any evidence, and they couldn't find Russell's handle at all.

The day after the incident, the newspaper received a call.

The woman on the phone said it was over.

But Russell didn't think the matter would end. Since he had already offended the two families, there was no need to hold back, and he had to find an opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop!

As the saying goes, if you cut the grass without removing the roots, it will regenerate when the spring breeze blows...

Besides, this is the United States, and these immigrant groups have no humanity. The rich and powerful talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and work for the progress of the country, but they are all about fucking business and interests!

Half a month later, the rumors have subsided.

Russell asked Thomas Tai to go to Black Street to find Magoya again, give him 50 US dollars, and ask him to clean up the whole process without leaving any clues.

This time Magoya put all the money in his pocket and said that there would be results within two weeks.

There are only two results, one is the death of Magoya, and the other is the demise of the two families.

But since the last prank, the security forces of the two families have been strengthened, otherwise Magoya would not have put all the 50 US dollars in his pocket.

In the past four days alone, Russell received a call from Astor.

Astor talked to him about it on the phone.

"They have seen a few strange faces near their home recently, are they the ones you sent?"

"No, you should have seen all my people."

Astor laughed: "Haha...Walker, I understand what you're thinking. But this matter is really coming to an end. It is impossible for us to cause great conflicts with the Republicans because of this matter. The representatives of the Republicans invite you Come to the dinner party the day after tomorrow, and the Guggenheim family, Franklin and I will also be there, and they won’t do anything to you.”

Russell frowned and asked, "They want to reconcile?"

"It depends on the situation."

"Well, I was thinking of meeting them."

Astor reminded: "I want to tell you that the Morgan family is a supporter of the Republican Party, and the candidates they support will also be present the night after tomorrow."

"Who? Harding?"

"You know Harding?"

Russell laughs: "I know a little about the power scene in New York."

"I didn't expect you to make so many preparations, so I'm relieved. Remember, don't start a conflict. Even if there is a conflict, don't leave in despair."

"Mr. Astor, do you think I look like a timid person?"

"Ha ha……"

The two communicated briefly and set the dinner for the night after tomorrow.

That night, Russell called Thomas Tai and told him to let Magoya stand still, but the people who were monitoring near the two families did not have to take it back.

This is a deterrent, and it is also a kind of respect for those in power.

Who made me powerless and afraid of you? If I don't do this, how can I save my life?

Two days later, Russell traveled by car to meet Astor, Franklin, and former Ohio Governor James Middleton Cox.

Russell met Cox for the first time, and the two didn't talk much. Through Astor's chat with him, Russell knew that he wanted to run for the governor of Ohio in 17-21.

He and Franklin would then run for president and vice president for 20 years...and lose.

He came to New York to ask for help, because there are several trade union presidents living in New York. As long as these presidents are taken down, his vote will be stable.

"Walker, if you have confidence, then once the war spreads to the United States, we will take this opportunity to obtain the right to supply supplies." Astor said.

Franklin said, "Maybe we can contact Lewis."

"Lewis has retired."

Isaac Newton Lewis was a U.S. Army officer and inventor who graduated from West Point and invented the artillery rangefinder, artillery fire control system, rapid-fire rifle, and gas-powered torpedo, among other…

One of the most typical and famous inventions is the 'Lewis machine gun', the machine gun that was widely used in World War I!

"What do you want him to do? Why is it so troublesome to get the army's internal qualifications?" Russell said.

"Do you have a solution?"

Russell said: "Isn't it enough to let the competitors withdraw voluntarily?"

"It's not that simple."

"If they back out that easily, they're giving up the benefits," Franklin said.

"It's impossible."

Russell said nothing, just shook his head slightly.

He has nothing to say to these pure Americans. Sometimes their stomachs are full of ink, and sometimes their heads are full of paste. They do things upside down and have no main goal at all. They are more like capitalists in the power field and treat politics as a business. up.

The dinner was held at an upscale restaurant near Times Square in mid-Manhattan.

The car stopped and the four got out.

Tonight, this restaurant only welcomes nine guests, in addition to four Russells, there are five Republicans.

After entering the restaurant, Russell saw them.

Although there was a bit of hatred, but I didn't hit the smiling people with my hand, and I got to know them when I shook hands with them.

There were Mellon, the owner of the Alcoa Trust, who was Secretary of the Treasury during Harding's term, and Weeks, sent by Morgan & Co., as well as Bob Morgan and John Calvin Coolidge, who was also Harding's term. the Vice President.

Except for Bob Morgan, who came to meet the world with soy sauce, the other four are of high status.

From this, it can be seen that they attach great importance to this matter!

why?

It's not because Russell has swept away the face of their republicans, but now he wants to show him off!

At the dinner table, Bob blinked at Russell a few times, and Russell ignored him with a straight face. This kind of occasion must not be as rampant as in school.

At first, the two sides had a tentative chat, but Harding was impatient. He seemed to have something to do and wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible.

He pointed at Russell with a sullen face and said, "Walker, your reputation in New York is older than your age. Young people, don't be too arrogant. You still have a long way to go."

Russell smiled and said, "Mr. Harding, can a young man be called a young man if he is not arrogant?"

Everyone present was taken aback, they didn't expect him to dare to talk to Harding like that.

"Are you talking to me again? This incident was originally your fault. You spread nonsense in the newspaper and spread cryptic patterns, which affected the physical and mental health of many children!"

"Mr. Harding, I am indeed talking to you. In addition, the population of the United States is too small. What I do is to add to the United States and urge citizens to give birth as soon as possible."

Astor and the others laughed secretly when they heard this. They didn't expect Walker to be so eloquent. It's just... cheeky!

Bob kept gesturing to Russell from below, as if to say: Big brother is big brother, and his speech is so funny and humorous, I admire it.

The rest of the republicans stared at him with black faces. Among them, John knocked on the table and said in a thick voice, "Why did you send someone to their house?"

Russell spread his hands: "It's wrong, smart people know things without evidence, so they can't say it. Obviously, you are not a smart person, because you can't use your brain."

"What did you say?" John slapped the table and jumped up, furious.

But he was stopped by Mellon next to him. He smoothed things over and said, "Why get angry with young people. Walker, this matter must end here anyway. You should know what those two families do. Yours People... Ah no, those who hang around those two houses, you should let them go back, and I guarantee that there will be no follow-up questions about this matter."

Russell smiled and said, "You are a businessman like me, so you have no right to say such things to me. I just want to hear what Mr. Harding means."

Harding's mentality was broken by Russell's few words, but he was embarrassed to lose his temper in front of so many people.

"What Mellon means is what I mean."

Oh, it turns out that Harding's habit of being lazy started from here.

"But you have to compensate the spiritual loss of the two families."

Hearing this, Russell laughed.

He glanced at everyone present, pointed at Harding and said, "I call you Mr. Harding not because I respect you, but because I want to give face to my friends. If you insist on being shameless, I don't have to give you face either! "

Russell lit the cigar on the table, and said loudly: "I have always asked other people for mental damages, and I have never given it to others! Do you want it? Put your face here, and I will give it to you."

Several members of the republican faction were stunned for a moment when they heard such rampant words.

Especially Mellon, John and Harding.

The three of them came here to save face, but they didn't expect to be humiliated by a young man.

If it gets out, how will you meet people?

Bob looked dumbfounded from the sidelines. He didn't expect that the big brother who was very kind in school would confront the big guys shortly after graduation, and gained the upper hand in a crushing manner.

Is this still Brother Walker?

Astor has long been used to it, but Franklin and Cox are not used to this way of chatting.

It might be a bit too strong...

As for business, there are comings and goings, and you can talk about everything.

You have made it so strong, how can you let your opponent counter the price?

Franklin and Cox looked at Astor, and when they saw him blinking calmly, they calmed down.

Because Astor knew that if Russell had no means, he would definitely not be so bold.

Although Mellon is a financial tycoon, he also has a wide network of contacts.And Harding and John are powerful figures in New York!

As for Bob and Weeks, they came to see the world, and at the same time, there was another meaning, that is, they represented the Morgan consortium.

"Do you fucking want to die? You are so strong at such a young age, do you know where this is? This is New York! When I was in power, you didn't know where and mud!"

Harding was so angry that he slapped the table and jumped up, pointing at Russell and shouting.

Russell walked up to him, took a puff on his cigar, and breathed the smoke into Harding's face.

"Mr. Harding calm down..."

"You fucking...!"

Harding was so choked by the smoke that he almost lost his breath, leaned back, and moved back to stand firm.

Then he raised his hand and slapped Russell.

Russell didn't dodge at all, but his arm was a few minutes faster than him, and he slammed into his face for a second.

The applause was crisp and loud.

It reverberated throughout the room.

At this moment, everyone showed expressions of astonishment, and looked at Russell dumbfounded.

Harding's left cheek was red and swollen, and he stared in disbelief.

"You dare to hit me?"

Russell squinted his eyes and said with a dark face, "Mr. Harding, I will give you a face, I hope you will continue. Otherwise, the matter between you and the married woman Cary Fulton Phillips will be in the newspapers the next day! "

Harding was taken aback when he heard the words, he hurriedly looked at John and Franklin, and saw that everyone at the table looked puzzled, and his heart sank.

"What's the matter with me?"

Russell smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to like married women, besides, Phillips is ten years younger than you! Mr. Hagen, you are such a beast."

"Harding, what's the matter with Phillips?" John asked.

"He's lying!" Harding denied.

"Since you think I'm spreading rumors, I can post the photos and time and location of your private meeting with Phillips to my New York Late Night News tomorrow. Do you want to take a gamble?"

John was a serious man. He stared at Harding and asked, "Is it true?"
