Boss, You're Back!

After nearly a month of fighting, the two had improved their strength a lot. They had also mastered the fighting techniques that Chen Mo had taught them. They were able to wipe out more than 30 armed men from the American Fur Company outside the Lakota tribe. Dealing with a typical armed purchasing team of only about 10 people was no problem for them. Moreover, Chen Mo had been by their side providing assistance, which to some extent limited their growth.

Previously, the two were unable to deal with a large number of armed enemies due to their insufficient strength. Later, they were able to handle it on their own, and Chen Mo basically stopped taking action. He continued to take them along only to act as a radar, helping them find combat targets. Now, with the help of the Lakota tribe to purchase furs and find targets, and with Victor and James's own strength no longer a problem, Chen Mo felt at ease letting them go on their own.

In the days that followed, the Lakota tribe's purchasing teams left the tribe time and time again carrying supplies, bringing back even more valuable furs. With the help of these purchasing and reconnaissance teams, Victor and James launched repeated operations to wipe out the armed purchasing teams of the American Fur Company.

During this time, the American Fur Company, which discovered that the armed team sent to the Lakota tribe had disappeared, assembled an even larger team of more than sixty people to investigate. However, the Lakota tribe's purchasing team discovered them early and sent someone back to report.

This time, because there were indeed too many people, just in case, Chen Mo followed Victor and James after they set off and went with them. Fortunately, he was able to help them in time when they encountered danger.

However, Chen Mo's trip was in vain. During this period of continuous fighting, Victor and James's strength improved rapidly. Not only their strength and self-healing ability, but also their agility, reaction and flexibility have greatly improved. Taking advantage of the terrain in the forest, it was difficult for enemy bullets to hit them. Moreover, under Chen Mo's guidance, the two also consciously protected their hearts and heads. So, although they were more seriously injured this time and their bodies were covered with wounds, they did not encounter any real danger, and Chen Mo had no chance to make a move.

Chen Mo was very pleased with the growth of the two of them and was completely at ease about their situation.

The next day, Chen Mo returned to New York with a space full of fur, nearly a thousand Cosmic Cube, but left Victor and James behind to continue their training in the forest until the armed personnel of the American Fur Company were completely eliminated.

Chen Mo handed over the fur trade with the Native Americans to Chief Geronimo, who led the Lakota tribe Native Americans continue purchasing furs.

Chen Mo still had a lot of the trading supplies he had taken out of his space, enough for them to trade for quite some time.

Chen Mo left the Lakota tribe alone with nearly a thousand Cosmic Cube of precious furs from his spatial storage. He was too lazy to take a carriage anymore, so he took out his Iron Man suit and equipped it. At the maximum speed of six times the speed of sound, he returned to New York in just over ten minutes.

Instead of returning to the hotel where he had been staying, Chen Mo flew directly to a large warehouse in the northern part of New York City, in what will become Midtown Manhattan.

At this time, the development of New York was limited to the future Lower Manhattan area at the southernmost tip of Manhattan Island. Even within this area, a large area to the north remained undeveloped and somewhat barren. The future Midtown and Upper Manhattan that Chen Mo had purchased were still just fields.

Chen Mo had chosen the location for this large warehouse before setting off and ordered people to start building it; it was already completed by now.

After Chen Mo bought the northern part of Manhattan, it was immediately turned into a large farm, employing farmers for large-scale planting, and there were hardly any people around.

The area where the warehouse is located has been separated out, surrounded by many tall trees, making it difficult to see what's going on from the outside.

After releasing all the furs from his spatial storage and moving them to the warehouse, Chen Mo returned to downtown New York City and checked into the luxury hotel.

Chen Mo has brought back these precious furs, and the next step is to sell them and turn them into cash. The business team that Chen Mo assembled with high salaries some time ago will come in handy at this time.

"Boss, you're back!"

Tom, the head of the business team that Chen Mo had summoned, met Chen Mo at the hotel.

Although he wondered why their super-rich boss preferred to live in a hotel rather than buy a property, he didn't think it was his place as a subordinate to ask such questions. So he simply greeted Chen Mo respectfully and reported on his work over the past few days.

Previously, they had been helping Chen Mo with land acquisitions, including land in the Manhattan area. During the time Chen Mo and the two children were away, they continued to acquire land in undeveloped areas adjacent to the current New York City, reaping considerable profits. In the future, with the development of New York City, the value of these lands will skyrocket.

But now, they have a new mission.

"I previously had you build a warehouse in central Manhattan."

Chen Mo looked at Tom, whose face was serious and meticulous, and slowly said.

"That's right, boss. That warehouse was completed half a month ago and has been left empty as you instructed, and no one is allowed to approach it."

Tom remembered Chen Mo's strange instructions and nodded in confirmation.

Chen Mo nodded upon hearing this, quite satisfied with the team's efficiency.

"The land acquisition can be put on hold for now. I have some furs in that warehouse; you can dispose of them."

Chen Mo explained in a calm voice.

Tom had no idea where Chen Mo had been or what he had been doing during this time. He actually felt that Chen Mo was making a mountain out of a molehill by asking them to stop their land acquisition work and deal with furs.

With their team's capabilities, handling a minor issue is not a complicated matter at all; they don't need to stop their current work to complete it specifically.

However, they are Chen Mo's private business team, and Chen Mo's words are orders; they only need to carry them out.

Even if Chen Mo ordered them to sell all their land at a low price, they would still have to do it.

However, if that situation were to actually occur, they would still try to persuade him, but for now, they just need to do as Chen Mo instructed.

So Tom agreed and headed to the large warehouse in central Manhattan. In any case, he had to complete the work assigned by his boss properly, since Chen Mo paid them quite well.
