Henry smiled and waited quietly for them to digest the news.After a while Alice said, 'Really? That would be wonderful.""Sure," said Henry, spreading his hand. "But Mr. Robert's house and two boats have been taken from him, so he can't get them back."Rachel and Robert believed Henry when they heard him speak with such certainty.After all, Rachel never thought Henry would be able to get Robert out that fast.If Henry can do it, then what he's saying is probably true."Henry, you are a lifesaver!" Rachel said excitedly.Remembering all this fear, Rachel's eyes welled up.Robert hugged her gently, tears welling in his eyes as well.Alice looked at Henry's perfectly profiled face with some admiration.Henry waited until Rachel and Robert had calmed down a bit, then said, "Mike revealed that he was framing you at the behest of state Senator David Smith, who was interested in your bootlegging business and Rachel."Robert suddenly realized that Rachel, too, had a picture of a fat, middle

Just the New York City government commissioned his side to investigate the destruction of the Huis gang headquarters, arrange three agents to cooperate with far tracking Henry is good, in case Henry found there is an official statement - there is an investigation of all powerful people.At the Astor Mansion, both Robert and Rachel read about the destruction of Huis headquarters in the Evening Sun.Their gratitude for Henry was renewed, but they were also amazed by Henry's personal prowess.Rachel thought of Henry's mysterious skills when he faced a dozen gangsters in the apartment, and for a moment couldn't help but be a little crazy.Henry dropped Alice off at the Sinclair House just after 5 p.m., then returned to the hotel to change into his dry-cleaned suit and dress for the reception hall on the first floor of the hotel, downstairs in time for the Astor family ball, which began at 6 p.m. that evening.For this kind of dance, guests should try to arrive within half an hour of the s

Their combination of top beauty also easily became the focus of the audience.In particular, Edith is a little over 1.7 meters tall, which is more compatible with Henry's height.One of the characteristics of the popular Bales dress of this era was the complex and beautiful surface decoration - a dazzling combination of colorful flems, tassels and embroidery patterns.With the support of the smooth curve, the Barth dress sets off the aristocratic woman's posture and bearing very beautifully.Edith's tall, slender figure pushes this beauty to the extreme, and under the guidance of Henry's LV4 skills, it is lithe and graceful, like a rose swaying in the wind.The two did not speak during their first dance with each other, and lost themselves in the hot dance.A twirl in the dance, a reserved or ambiguous look or movement seems to have done everything.After an affectionate waltz, Henry also escorts Edith back to her original place, and has arranged two dances with her to continue the da

Today, having achieved the desired goal and successfully stamped Edith, Henry felt that he had accomplished seventy or eighty percent of his goals for coming to New York."Huh? Why is that body odor again?" Henry looked out of the window and saw a bearded man riding a horse some twenty metres in front of the carriage.Ordinary people's sense of smell range is 5-6 meters, Henry's is 50-60 meters, the sensitivity is also much higher.So he's pretty sure that this particular odor has come within 20 or 30 meters of him at least four times since this morning.Although Western body odor is generally strong, this body odor is really strong and unique.When he examined the beard skeptically, he saw that it was exactly the same size as the man he had noticed that morning.Looks at the time did not look seriously, but can be sure that the morning people do not have such a large beard.If this person's beard is on, it means someone is stalking them.The carriage went on for a few minutes, and af

"You're welcome, just met, the killer should be dead, but I didn't hit him in the head." 'said Henry."That rifle you just had?" Garfield asked curiously."Magic." Henry smiled.Fifteen guards poured out of the building.William had gathered his strength and commanded, "Charlie and Daniel, you go check the killer. If he's dead, don't touch him. Melham, you tell Tom to come check him. Simon, you tell Dr. Baker to come and treat the guard."Then he turned to Garfield and Henry and said, "Garfield and Henry, let's go up to the second floor for tea and wait for the results of their investigation."Garfield whispered a few words to the uninjured guard, telling him to go about his business, and then smiled and nodded at Henry.They followed William into the building.The afternoon here in the affluent neighborhood was relatively quiet, with few other people watching from close quarters in the hours before and after the shooting.The three of them settled into chairs in the loggia on the sec

"Have you three been following me? Twenty-four hours?""No, there will be a change of people when you go back to the Astor Hotel to rest. We will be there from eight o 'clock in the morning until you return to the hotel in the evening.""How do I change it?""When you return to the hotel, we will leave, and naturally there will be colleagues to follow up.""How can you tell them apart? Where do you usually spy on me near the Astor Mansion?""We knew a lot of each other, usually in the shadows of the alleys across from the hotel or nearby.""To be more specific, where in the vicinity of the hotel were you three watching me?""Yes."When Henry had heard this, and asked him some more information about the Pincotton Detective Agency of New York itself, he gave him a clean wipe on the throat with a dagger to make room for him.By now the coach should have returned to the Astor's Hotel, and the next watch should have noticed that Henry was not on board, nor had any of his colleagues from th

Henry soon learned that a telegram had been sent from Pinkerton's Chicago headquarters asking him to cooperate with nine operatives sent by the Black Market.Four of the nine have arrived -- now lying in the building's intelligence center, and five more will arrive today at the apartment where Henry had just been.The first and second rooms on the left hand are reserved for them.Henry asked Alston more about Pinkerton's Chicago headquarters and its bosses.When that was over, and before Alston could ask him anything, Henry put the wet towel over his nose and mouth again.Henry then opened the secret compartment of the master's room and took away $12,000, 1,000 ounces of gold bars and five land deeds.By this time, Alston had realized that this should be Henry, but his mouth was blocked, and he could only whine and sweat.Henry was in a good mood and pulled back the towel to see what he wanted to say.'You're Mr. Henry, aren't you? I have no intention of fighting you. Orders from head

After getting off the bus, he asked Leon to follow the carriage back to the hotel, and then Henry walked five or six hundred meters down the avenue in the direction of Midtown, then turned back and walked back to where he had just gotten off the bus, and then turned back to the direction of Midtown.All the way Henry's keen eyes were watching to see if anyone was following him.Feeling fine, Henry walked on for a few hundred meters, then glanced back around.When he felt sure it was OK, he quickly turned into an alley, quickly changed his shirt, hat, handlebar mustache and beard, and then walked out of the alley and took a cab to Apartment 396 in Midtown, where he had been the night before.Meanwhile, Aaron, founder of Chicago's Pincotton Detective Agency, and his eldest son Robert discuss the destruction of the New York office."This time the New York office was destroyed, we lost at least 200,000 dollars, Robert, what do you think?" Aaron asked."Apparently, it was the arsonist who

In the unfamiliar environment, Henry chose to use two green beads with halo and one white bead one by one.As Henry focused his thoughts on using a green bead with a halo, he was suddenly surrounded by a warm atmosphere that appeared out of thin air.Henry found that he was naturally very sensitive to the emotions of others, and surprisingly intuitive, and easily judge the true emotions of others, especially malice towards others.Two minutes later, Henry woke up and found that he had a gift for intuition - the instinct to detect the true emotions of others, especially malice.Intuitive LV1 to LV2 requires the energy of 400 gray beads.Talent warning allows Henry to detect the other side's intentions and actions in advance.The natural intuition can detect malice instinctively, which greatly supplements Henry's ability to prevent danger, and plays a great role in his communication with people.Henry wondered if he had just killed a so-called master.Delighted, Henry went on to use ano

Henry was in no hurry to open the information center. He first rushed to the fourth floor, where there was also an iron door at the landing.Henry loaded his special Sharps 1874 rifle and did the same.In a minute or so, Henry consumed the bodies of the last two sentinels and also knocked down all ten guards on the fourth floor.Henry hurried down to the third floor and walked to the front door of the information center. He took out his master key and spent more than a minute opening the iron and wooden doors. Then he was struck by the rows of files on the iron shelves inside, as well as the large number of filing cabinets.But Henry now has about 19 cubic meters of space, similar to how later generations can bundle and compress these documents into vacuum packaging.The files look spectacular, but iron shelves, filing cabinets and other stationery and spare space take up most of the space.Files may not even take up 5% of the space.He released the remaining 45 barrels of 50 liters o

Nothing else mattered. Henry walked out of the gate, pulled out a quarter horse, and headed for the Pincotten headquarters building in the Loop district of the city center.Now there is about 15 cubic meters of storage space, which is almost enough.But to be safe, Henry turned into the woods by the side of the road and spent about half an hour opening three safes from the black market center and extracting their contents.Without an immediate inventory, Henry recollected the empty safe and moved on.Just over half an hour later, at 1:49 a.m., Henry arrived near his target.The Loop is a circumnavigation area with city Hall, banks, post offices, libraries, art colleges and so on.The Pinkerton headquarters building, which is about 30 meters wide and 50 meters long, is not surrounded by walls, and only has a huge stone box about 20 meters long and eight meters wide in front of the building's gate.It's similar to the New York branch that was destroyed, except the guard post here is a s

When Henry ran up to the fourth floor, he found that all but two rooms were largeOutside, the doors to the rest of the rooms are open.Henry pulled out his Sharps rifle and fired at the door locks of both rooms.After three shots each, the locks on both doors were violently shaken open. Henry ducked into one of the rooms and gathered up a large safe with a base 1.5 meters square and a height of about two meters.Henry then ran to the next room that was opened, and found that this should be Morrison's office.After tapping and hammering for a while, he opened a dark room behind the tapestries and took away a safe one meter square and about two meters high.It took Henry three or four minutes from the time he got upstairs to the time he was done. Henry opened a window facing the back yard, took out a hook and fastened it to the corner of the large, heavy oak desk in the living room, jumped out of the window and began rappelling down.Ten seconds later, Henry was safely down on the grou

Every time Henry fired two shots, he switched positions and fired two more.Three seconds later, Henry emptied three rounds of.44 bullets, knocking out all 32 guards who were not hiding."God, the devil sees us clearly!""This is the devil, God, save your people!""Black, what's the matter with you? Hold on!"In the sound of wailing, Henry pulled out of space two 5-pound TNT cartridges with a 2-second delay, activated them and threw them behind two obstacles a dozen meters away."Boom! Blow out eight guards.Henry went on to throw four more identical TNT packs, blowing up the eighteen guards who were hiding.The guards in the back yard have cleaned up pretty much, in the last minute or so since Henry came out of the warehouse and hit the back yard.About four minutes have passed since Henry walked out of the club door!As Henry searched for the fallen guards in the backyard, he kept an eye on the two stairs to the left and right of the back door.The stairs on the left side near the w

At this time, there was a loud "boom" inside the machine-gun firing mouth, the whole bunker was violently shaken, and the machine gun was suddenly dumb.Henry then takes out two new charge packs, activates them, throws them at the two extended firing holes, and continues!In a super-reactive state, in just one second, Henry activates all nine charges and throws them into the bunker's nine firing holes.Then Henry turned and sprinted to the other side of the bunker at full speed, while using a gray bead to recover his health, before running out six or seven meters, there was a series of loud booms behind him.Under the continuous impact, "boom" a loud noise, the entire left wing of the club bunker all collapsed.After five or six seconds, Henry stops about twenty meters from the club's right wing bunker, pulls out two identical 5-pound charge packs, unleashing his super talent and throwing them at the machine gun blast and a rifle blast beneath it, then continues on to the next round o

Now, in addition to the 40 or so 5-pound TNT packs, Henry only has 1,260 pounds of TNT left, which is not enough to destroy the building.Henry pushed open the oak door on the first floor of the building and entered the great hall.The right side of the first floor is separated by a square 30 meters ×30 meters warehouse, so the mission hall is only about 30 meters ×50 meters.Similar to the structure of the black market in New York, the center of the hall is a huge bar with an oval length of about 20 meters and a width of about 5 meters, and more than 100 sets of wooden tables and chairs are arranged around it, with time compartments on each side.The official entrance to the warehouse is on the right side of the outside of the building, and it is not possible to cross the hall here.It's 10:12 p.m., past peak black-market hours, so there are only 16 people sitting at a dozen tables.The whole hall was hung with twelve gas lamps, which were light enough to see, but not bright enough.

In this day and age, whether it is bootlegging or mining, or any other high-profit industry, without sufficient private force, there is nothing in the future.So Henry decided to take the first step by setting up his own detective agency.At about eight o 'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark, Henry packed up all his things, climbed back up the fork of a tree some twenty metres away, and after loading all the Sharps rifles here, continued to look through the intelligence files.The dark clouds in the sky disappeared completely, and a meniscus hung over the sky, and the stars shone.Just after nine o 'clock, Henry's keen sense of hearing told him that a large number of cavalry were about to pass.He gathered up the intelligence file and took out a Sharps 1878 rifle and placed it in the fork of a tree.Ten seconds later, a line of nine knights accompanied by a hard-top two-horse carriage appeared at the corner of the path.Under the summer's starry moon, Henry's sharp gaze

But Aaron still can't get down, every day will still sit in the headquarters, just not involved in the specific affairs, more is to control the direction, he usually around 5 p.m., back to the estate in the western suburbs of Chicago.Robert is a workaholic. If he is not on business, he usually doesn't leave the office until after 9 PM.Henry rode around a few hundred meters to observe, and then chose a thick forest of camphor trees more than seven hundred meters from the road.The view is wide and the distance is far enough that Aaron's guards, who pass by every day, should not have come this far for no reason.It's only a mile or so from Aaron's estate.Basically the only people who can walk down this path are people who live on the estates around here.Henry gathered up his horse, climbed on his hands and knees to the thick branch of a camphor tree more than twenty meters high, and fastened himself firmly to the rope.The other two branches near this tree are particularly suitable
