More Than Ten Thousand Times Yours!

When Victor and James heard Zachary Taylor's question, they didn't share his doubts. Instead, they were filled with admiration and pride. From the moment Chen Mo appeared before them on the night they fled, Chen Mo had always been an omnipotent figure in their minds, a prophet who seemed to be able to foresee the future and that nothing could escape his eyes!

James glanced at the short, scrawny old Taylor, who was riding on horseback with a puzzled look on his face. Then, thinking of Chen Mo's calm and composed demeanor and seemingly omniscient aura, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zachary Taylor and said in an arrogant tone.

"Our master is quite formidable!"

Zachary Taylor naturally sensed the disdain in James's tone, and, gritting his teeth in anger, angrily questioned James.

"You brat! I'd really like to know, what exactly does your master do? Is he more powerful than me, a general?"

Zachary Taylor was unwilling to lose face in front of the two little ones, so he invoked his status as a general.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that he had just resigned from his military post and was no longer a general.

The two didn't dwell on it, after all, he was indeed a genuine general and a "great hero" of the Mexican-American War, with a high reputation among the military and the people.

Even so, in Victor's and James's minds, he was still far inferior to Chen Mo.

"Old man Taylor, you can't even beat us, yet you want to compete with our master?"

"You!"

Victor spoke without any mercy, which made Zachary Taylor so angry that he wanted to beat the guy to death. However, just as Victor said, he was no match for the two little guys, so he could only slap his raised hand on the broad back of his old horse, "Old Whitney."

However, Zachary Taylor quickly realized the meaning behind Victor's words.

"You mean, your master is even more powerful than the two of you?"

Zachary Taylor said this with disbelief on his face. Victor and James' strength had already made him feel that they were superhuman. There were even rumors in the army that the two were invulnerable to swords and bullets and could not be killed. This shows how powerful the two were. In his more than 40 years of military service, Zachary Taylor had seen countless people, but he had never seen anyone stronger than the two. There was no one who could compare to them, or even be slightly weaker.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zachary Taylor would never have believed that human strength could be so great.

Zachary Taylor always believed that the two must have received a blessing from God to possess superhuman strength and extraordinary "luck," allowing them to survive countless battles unscathed.

Now that he heard the two men say that someone was even more powerful than them, Zachary Taylor naturally found it hard to accept.

Victor and James are already incredibly strong, so what kind of beings would be even stronger than them?

Is he the legendary "demigod"?

But isn't that Greek Mythology? The Episcopal Church believe in God.

Pulling his thoughts back from their flight, Zachary Taylor couldn't help but look at the two men. Seeing Victor and James nod at the same time, Zachary Taylor, who knew the two men well, knew that they wouldn't stoop to lying. He had to accept the fact that there really was someone more powerful than these two ferocious beasts!

"What exactly does he do?"

Zachary Taylor straightened his face and asked the two men seriously, his curiosity about the "master" they were talking about growing stronger than ever before.

"Our master is a farmer!"

James's answer was still full of pride, as if he would speak with the same pride as Chen Mo, even if he were a robber.

"A farmer? I'm a farmer too, you know!"

Upon hearing from James that the mysterious "master" was a rancher, Zachary Taylor breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a competitive urge.

"Why don't you come with me to Kentucky? My cotton plantation is huge."

While it may seem like a casual remark, Zachary Taylor genuinely hoped that Victor and James would return with him, as he quite liked the two straightforward and outspoken individuals.

However, he also knew that, judging from the expressions on their faces when they talked about that "master," it was highly unlikely.

How large is your plantation?

James asked upon hearing this.

Sure enough, the two of them completely ignored his previous statement, seemingly without even considering it, which made him feel a sense of disappointment.

However, upon hearing James's question, he still answered proudly.

"It's not very big, only a little over three thousand acres."

This cotton plantation was quite large for its time, considering that there were no specialized agricultural machines for large-scale farm operations back then, and everything was done by hand. To cultivate this cotton plantation, Zachary Taylor purchased hundreds of black slaves, making him one of the larger plantation owners in Kentucky.

There shouldn't be such a large plantation in New York.

Zachary Taylor was full of confidence in his plantation, thinking that he had finally surpassed that mysterious and powerful "master" in some way. However, after listening to him, Victor and James looked at each other in bewilderment and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that the two men were silent, Zachary Taylor assumed that their highly respected master had been outshone by him and that they were too embarrassed to say so, so he smugly urged them on.

"Why are you all silent? Just how big is your master's farm?"

When James heard him press for an answer, he turned to look at him, made a rough estimate in his mind, and then slowly spoke.

"It's not that big, maybe a little over ten thousand times yours!"

Zachary Taylor's eyes widened upon hearing this. He looked at James, who had a serious expression on his face, and then turned to look at Victor, who was showing his two sharp fangs and looking gloating. He felt a sense of confusion.

You must be kidding me!

In January 1848, the United States and Mexico officially began peace talks, and on February 2, they signed a peace treaty. Mexico ceded Texas, New Mexico, California, and other territories to the United States. The ceded territory exceeded half of Mexico's total land area, amounting to more than 1.9 million square kilometers.

The two-year war ended in a victory for the United States. California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming became United States. territory, and a new wave of westward expansion was launched. Chen Mo, of course, did not fall behind, or rather, it could be said that Chen Mo was leading many pioneers in developing the West.

Huge ranches, farms, and mines were established on these newly acquired lands in the west.
