Tom's mentality collapsed.
Of course, this Tom is not that Tom.
The night the polar bear left, Tom secretly came to the boss's office and saw the house rental contract.
As expected, Tom had trouble sleeping tonight.
Capital is the key to the rise of the United States. The United States was not strong before the Civil War.
But why in less than a hundred years.
The United States was able to successfully counterattack, and from the little Karami who was beaten all the way to the White Palace by the British army, he became a decisive boss in the First World War.
This has a lot to do with the United States' vigorous promotion of capital.
Of course, wealth is important, but that doesn’t mean wealth is everything.
Why did Shen Wansan die, and why did Lu Buwei commit suicide?
In an inappropriate era, wealth may not be a good thing.
This is the case in the United States today. White people control most of the wealth, so they don't want to have one more black person or animal person among their own people.
But whether it was Shen Wansan or Lu Buwei.
Those who can pose a threat to them are the real high-level people, a small group of people in this huge empire.
Most people actually have little confidence when facing wealth.
Because a lot of the time.
Wealth is not only wealth, but also a manifestation of strength.
Tom is a thinking white man.
In this era when animals and black people are as inferior, how can a polar bear have so much wealth?
Almost subconsciously, Tom thought of the industry that generates the fastest money right now - drinks!
And it just so happens that Black Man and Animal Man are the main members of the gang.
More importantly, next to New York Harbor is Poseidon Street, which has 100,000+ animal people. This is the base camp of animal people! ! !
Combined with the boss's recent sudden increase in wealth, and what the polar bear said to himself before leaving?
Tom panicked.
He desires wealth and is indeed ambitious, but he does not want to be associated with a gang.
Gangs are too dangerous. Once you embark on this road, you can never go back.
He has seen too many unlucky people thrown into jail for selling illegal liquor.
But suppose you reject the other person’s kindness?
Think about this from the other person's perspective.
Faced with a human being who might guess that he was running an illegal business.
Can he really leave New York Harbor alive?
Thinking of this, Tom wanted to give himself a big mouth at this moment.
Why is my curiosity so intense?
If he had not appeared outside the office and eavesdropped on the conversation between the polar bear and his boss out of curiosity, if...
Well, there are not so many ifs in this world.
The most important thing now is how to reject the other party without getting into trouble.
Early in the morning in August, Tom climbed out of bed after a sleepless night.
Severe insomnia gave him a pair of black eyes.
After washing his face with water, Tom found a coat that was not very new, but was clean enough.
From the shoe box in the utility room, he found 4,281 US dollars, which was all the wealth he had accumulated over the years.
Taking a deep breath and looking at himself in the mirror, Tom patted his face and told himself that it would be okay and everything would be fine.
Just like that, the time came to seven o'clock in the morning.
Tom arrived at the dock warehouse early.
It's just that this once extremely familiar warehouse looks so strange today.
A crocodile ran over from nowhere, holding a mop stained with red dye.
A pair of cold and cold dark golden beast eyes stared at him.
Is the stuff on the mop really red dye?
Tom subconsciously glanced inside the warehouse, and he found a pool of red traces on the ground, and there was a rotten smell in the air.
This horse is full of blood!
Tom's face turned a little pale, and he couldn't help but remember that there was a fierce battle here last night, and the crocodile in front of him was cleaning the battlefield.
So the question is, where did the body go?
Looking at the crocodile's slightly bulging belly, Tom's already pale face became even paler at this moment.
And just when he was so frightened that he was almost nervous.
The crocodile holding a mop looked at him. His dark green skin opened his mouth slightly, and his sharp teeth reflected the cold light in the sunlight.
"ah!"
There was a piercing scream, and the frightened Tom used all his strength to run away like crazy.
On the other side, he looked at Tom who disappeared from his eyes in the blink of an eye.
The crocodile hesitated for a moment, scratched the back of his head awkwardly, and then muttered angrily:
"Mad, these white people are so abominable. I just want to say hello when I ride on my horse!"
On the other side, Tom, who didn't know he had misunderstood, ran out as hard as he could.
There was only one thought in his mind at this moment——
Escape, I must not stay here, I want to escape!
But what he didn't notice was that just when he was in a panic and wanted to escape from New York Harbor?
Right at the front of his realization, a white figure wearing a black suit and as strong as a house walked towards him.
By the time Tom noticed it, under the influence of inertia, Tom could no longer stop.
And then with a look of horror?
Don't come here·jpg
With a bang, poor Tom hit Belle's calf.
There was no other way, he just wanted to hit him full of arms.
But the polar bear is five meters four tall, and the height of its hind limbs is at least two meters four.
The polar bear didn't feel anything special. Anyway, he wouldn't be the one injured in the end.
But looking at Tom who was panicking in front of him, he couldn't help but asked doubtfully:
"Tom, why are you running?"
At this moment, Tom, who was already running and sweating profusely, never expected that he would bump into Bell head-on!
What is the difference between this and entering the tiger's mouth just after leaving the wolf's den?
This made his eyes full of horror:
"Mr. Bell, I, I..."
Looking at Tom who couldn't even finish his words, the polar bear frowned slightly and interrupted him:
"Wait a minute. You can breathe again first before talking."
He took a deep breath and forced his breathing to calm down.
Tom took out the envelope that was half wet with sweat from his arms and raised it respectfully above his head:
"This is four thousand dollars, please accept it."
Polar Bear: "?"
After all, Bell was not an ordinary polar bear. After thinking about it, he realized that the other party had probably misunderstood.
After a moment of contemplation, the polar bear did not take the money handed over by the other party, but waved his hand:
"Forget about the money, I will arrange for someone to take over the company in the next two days. You still need to take over some of the business of the moving company.
If you want to resign, just go through the normal process and tell your new boss. "
Tom was stunned, subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the polar bear:
"So simple?"
In Tom's imagination, Bell, a brutal gang leader and the mastermind behind the scenes, would never let him go easily.
Even at this moment, Tom was already praying that the other party would leave a body for him.
Of course, this is normally the case.
In New York in the 1920s, it was normal for more than a dozen people to die every day due to gang problems.
Especially the recent second wave caused by Prohibition has raised the intensity of gang violence to a new level.
This is why Tom chose to refuse.
The dock where I am is too close to Poseidon Street.
The gangs here are mainly animals. Tom is a human being and a white man.
He was worried that he would be like old Lacey, being replaced in a daze.
Looking at Tom's shocked eyes, the polar bear rolled his eyes and looked at him speechlessly:
"if not?"
Looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head:
"You are young and don't have such a rich imagination. Do you think you are important?"
Tom: "Uh..."
Looking at Tom who was silent, the polar bear ignored him at all.
The polar bear, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked towards the warehouse without looking back, leaving only one sentence:
"Okay, since you don't have any ideas, go back and prepare the information quickly. I will arrange for someone to come over in the next two days."
And looked at Bell's back as he left.
I don't know why, but Tom instinctively felt heartbroken, as if something very precious had slipped away from his hands.
But after standing there for a long time.
With a sigh, Tom shook his head, turned and walked towards the company.
