2024-04-29 21:04:57After all, Henry has entered the ranks of the rich at such a young age and has outstanding abilities, so he has too many choices.
If this scene is really allowed to happen, this committee will definitely become the laughingstock of the upper class - it will not even be able to retain outstanding talents who were born and raised in its own town!
All issues are over, and Henry will become the official Sheriff after taking the oath tomorrow morning.
It was almost 7:30 in the evening after the meeting. William invited Henry to have dinner at his manor, and Henry went happily.
Deputy Sheriff Ronald was taciturn throughout the whole process. He only made a few simple remarks when analyzing the motives of the gangsters. After the meeting, he hurried to his house.
Ronald's wife and children all live in the McKinley family's Dwyer Manor, five miles outside the town, and he lives there alone.
After returning home, Ronald took out the paper and wrote quickly, and quickly wrote a letter.
Just at this time, the doorbell rang, and James and the other two arrived as promised.
Ronald handed the letter to James and said, "Send it to the hands of Chief Sean of Dwyer Manor."
The three of them immediately went back to the stables of the police station to get their horses and rushed to Dwyer Manor.
Mayor William's manor is in the Victorian style.
Nearly every part of a Victorian-style house has exquisite details, from intricate wood trim, ornate staircases, stained-glass, and decorative woodwork.
The manor house has steep gabled roofs, front gables, patterned tiles, bay windows, round towers and front porches.
The building incorporates the Gothic style with pointed roofs. The exterior walls of the building are covered with fish-scale wood. There are round or square columns in front of the door with fine decoration. The whole building exudes exquisite carvings. The feeling of careful consideration.
The interior decoration style of the manor is original wood, and the furniture is all European style.
Because it was an impromptu dinner, it was not so formal.
After all, we are not in a British aristocratic home, so dining etiquette is not so strict.
When Henry was a child, he would eat there with his grandfather from time to time. He privately called Mayor William Grandpa William.
So he is very familiar with this place, and tonight is equivalent to an internal family dinner.
In fact, if it weren't for William's care, Henry, who was just an ordinary member of the police department, would not have received such a large bonus of 24,000 US dollars, even if he had great military exploits.
The menu is very rich, with 8 dishes served before and after, including appetizers, staple dishes, desserts, etc.
There are only Williams and his wife and two younger grandsons and granddaughters here.
Grandson Frank is 7 years old, and granddaughter Janice is 10 years old.
William opened a bottle of French Burgundy AOC first-class red wine, and the couple accompanied Henry to drink together.
William is 64 years old and has three sons and two daughters.
William's wife, Mikala, was one year older than him, and she liked Henry very much.
The eldest granddaughter, Alice, is only one year younger than Henry.
In the past, when Grandpa Henry was still alive, he had frequent contact with William. Henry and Alice were childhood sweethearts.
But four years ago, in June 1876, when Henry had just turned 16, his grandfather passed away, and Henry rarely came to this manor.
In addition, after that summer vacation, Alice went to attend an all-girls private high school with her parents in New York, and the two never met again.
Topics are started by people who share common concerns.
"Alice will come back to stay for half a month at the beginning of next month. She has just been admitted to Smith College and will start school in early September in two months," William said.
Henry praised: "I remember that Alice's wish when she was a child was to study in a women's college when she grew up. Congratulations to her for getting her wish. She is really excellent."
Mikala looked at Henry kindly, smiled and said: "You are all very good and outstanding children, Henry, you have to come and see me more like before, okay?"
Henry immediately replied: "Of course, Grandma Mikala."
Janice interjected: "Henry, I heard that you killed more than a hundred robbers today. Is it true?"
Henry looked at the doll-like little Lolita, nodded with a smile, and said, "It's true. If you get into trouble in the future, just say she is my sister and see who dares to offend you."
Janice laughed happily and said, "Henry, I remember, can you help me warn little fat Black at noon tomorrow? He always deliberately soils my friend Kent's clothes."
Henry asked gently: "Why didn't Kent warn Black himself?"
Janice said helplessly: "He does, but Blake doesn't listen. He is two years younger than Blake and much shorter."
Henry noticed that William and Mikala were both smiling, and knew that these children wereclassmates from several close families who jointly found private teachers.
"I will only shoot if I warn you. Janice, do you want me to shoot in front of Blake to scare him?" Henry asked with a smile.
Janice quickly shook her head.
"So, Kent will fight back against Black on his own. Regardless of whether he can win or not, at least he must immediately show his resistance and be difficult to provoke."
"Or, let Kent record Black's bullying behavior in the diary one by one, and return it to him all at once when there is a suitable opportunity in the future."
"In this western world, people can only rely on themselves. The sooner you understand this truth, the better."
William raised his glass, and Henry quickly clinked a glass at him.
"Henry, what you just said is right. Here, people can only rely on themselves, but this self should include members who share the same bloodline with themselves." After William finished speaking, he drank half a glass of red wine in one gulp .
Putting down the wine glass, William continued: "Henry, we all have noble blood from the same place flowing in our bodies. We are natural partners."
Henry agreed: "That's true. Grandpa William, you are right."
In his opinion, Henry's grandfather told him that the family's ancestors could be traced back to the Scottish hero Robert Bruce, and they were of royal blood.
The Sinclair family is a noble family with a long history in Scotland.
However, Grandpa Henry’s branch is a branch among branches and has long since declined. Before he died, he only told Henry to live well and flourish.
It is said that the Bruce family has huge industries in the Maple Leaf Kingdom and Tianzhu Kingdom.
But all this has nothing to do with Henry.
But his bloodline would make him easily accepted by the upper class in America.
The first people of English, Scottish, German and some Irish descended to land in the Americas were the local residents they truly recognized.
As for the so-called native Indians, what kind of strangers and weirdos are they?
Although Henry Bruce's soul is fused with Henry's memory, he still thinks that he is Henry Bruce, still a pure man.
Although the body is a fringe member of the so-called blue-blooded aristocracy.
But that doesn’t stop him from using this to make life better for himself and the people he wants to help.

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

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
