A Show of Force!

Chief Geronimo immediately asked impatiently.

How do we exchange these kerosene lamps?

"Ten beaver pelts for a kerosene lamp, and five kerosene pelts for fuel in a bottle."

These things are all fragile and not easy to carry. It's only because Chen Mo has a spatial ability that he doesn't have to worry about these issues, which is why he brought quite a lot of things.

Chief Geronimo nodded upon hearing Chen Mo's offer.

"Your price is very fair!"

You should know that the American Fur Company's purchasing teams charge ten beaver pelts for a single butcher's knife. Compared to that, Chen Mo's price is already very fair.

Chen Mo didn't feel like he had lost out; the beaver pelt he sold was enough to buy hundreds of kerosene lamps.

Beaver fur is warm, soft, and comfortable, making it a favorite fabric for clothing among royalty and nobility, and it is quite expensive.

Hats made from beaver fur are highly waterproof and won't deform even in the rain. They are very popular in Europe, and almost every person of status owns one.

Because beaver fur originates from the Americas, it is difficult to acquire and transport. Coupled with huge demand, the price of beaver fur has been rising again and again, yet it is still in short supply. Owning a hat made of beaver fur has become a symbol of status and a top luxury item that only the upper class can afford.

This trend has now spread not only to Europe but also to the United States, and the price of beaver pelts remains high. Therefore, although Chen Mo's offer was much higher than that of the American Fur Company's purchasing team, the extra cost was negligible compared to the huge profits he would gain. Chen Mo was not one of those money-grubbing United States businessmen. The profits from the fur trade were already enormous, and there was no need to continue to oppress and exploit these Native Americans.

Although it was impossible to trade based on the true value of the furs, the supplies Chen Mo carried were far more abundant and diverse than those of the American Fur Company, which originally held a monopoly. Moreover, the prices he offered for the furs were nearly double those offered by the original purchasing team. This delighted the Native American who had long suffered oppression and exploitation, and they all praised Chen Mo and his two companions for their fair trade.

In this Indian tribes called Lakota, Chen Mo traded various supplies for a large number of beaver pelts, mink pelts, bison hides, and other types of fur, and even a huge bear skin.

This bear skin is nearly three meters long, and its original size must have been extremely large, with an estimated weight of over 700 kilograms, making it a true behemoth.

Taking it down is no easy task. Some weaker tribes might even be slaughtered and suffer heavy casualties if they encountered such a huge beast. However, judging from the situation of the Lakota tribe, it doesn't seem like they paid a heavy price. This shows that the warriors of the Lakota tribe are quite strong.

Chen Mo offered 100 beaver pelts for this rare and enormous bear skin, which delighted Chief Geronimo. He exclaimed that Chen Mo's price was fair and insisted on keeping Chen Mo and his two companions to entertain them after the transaction was completed.

The next day, Chief Geronimo personally saw Chen Mo and the other two off in front of the tribe.

"The Lakota tribe awaits your return. Our warriors are the strongest in the Missouri Forest. Next time, we will prepare more Beast pelts to exchange with you, and we hope you will bring even more and better things."

Chief Geronimo said with a proud look on his face.

Chen Mo nodded upon hearing this. Chief Geronimo was indeed not exaggerating. Of all the Indian tribes he had visited, the Lakota tribe warriors were indeed the strongest and most valiant of all.

Looking at Chief Geronimo, Chen Mo nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

Yes, it will.

The Lakota tribe was just one of many Indian tribes that Chen Mo, Victor, and James passed through. With each transaction during this period, the large amount of living supplies that Chen Mo had stored in New York and the supplies that he had stolen from the armed personnel of the American Fur Company were quickly replaced by stacks of precious furs.

With Chen Mo's enormous space of a thousand Cosmic Cube, if it were completely filled, its value would be astonishing once they left the forest and returned to New York.

In fact, not all Native Americans were like the Lakota tribe, content with Chen Mo's significantly higher fur prices compared to the American Fur Company, as well as the high quality, low price, and wide variety of goods, and willingly trading with Chen Mo and his companions. Instead, they felt that Chen Mo and his companions were weak and powerless, just ordinary small fur merchants, without the strong armed force of the American Fur Company to deter them. Therefore, they wanted to take advantage of their large tribe to forcibly seize the goods from Chen Mo and his companions.

The final result was self-evident. Without Chen Mo even lifting a finger, Victor and James, whose strength had greatly increased after numerous battles, wiped out all the Native Americans who had tried to rob them.

Chen Mo did not exterminate the entire tribe of Native Americans; he only killed those who attempted to plunder.

The formidable fighting prowess displayed by Victor and James, their ferocious, Beast -like fighting style, and their unique weapons were enough to intimidate the remaining Native Americans, preventing them from harboring any further inappropriate thoughts.

During the battle, the claws and bone spikes of Victor and James were inevitably seen by the other Native Americans present. Coupled with the superhuman speed and agility they displayed in the fight, as well as their ability to continue fighting as if they were not injured at all after being hit, the Native American present were shocked and couldn't help but think of the legend that had recently been circulating among the various tribes.

It is said that in this vast jungle, two ferocious, humanoid beasts with terrifying claws appeared and slaughtered the armed personnel of the American Fur Company.

However, this was just a legend in the past. Although some people thought it was the spirits of their ancestors who sent these two ferocious beasts to punish the armed personnel of the American Fur Company who oppressed and exploited them, many others thought they had simply encountered a grizzly bear or other wild beast.

But this time, someone actually witnessed the entire process of the two men's hands sprouting claws and bone spurs out of thin air, as well as their incredibly powerful combat strength and unimaginable ability to ignore attacks and be killed. The previous rumors have completely become reality.

The Native Americans present at the time couldn't help but feel a strong sense of fear, even reverence, towards Victor and James, and their power and wonder began to be widely spread.
