After assigning tasks to his men, everyone was busy running around, but Henry had some free time. Today, he came to Quaker Bay to admire his large estate, which had just been officially completed.

It stands on a vast grassland, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, with a beautiful natural environment that is refreshing and delightful.

The estate covers an area of ​​200 acres (approximately 800 x 1000 square meters) and is divided into different areas, including wheat fields, orchards, vegetable gardens, pastures, and more.

At the heart of the estate stands a magnificent three-story main building, boasting spacious, bright rooms and elegant balconies. The main building adopts a typical American architectural style, with a simple and grand exterior, predominantly white with a blue roof, creating a fresh and comfortable atmosphere.

The buildings in the manor all use the most advanced construction technology and the highest quality building materials, making them not only beautiful and elegant but also sturdy and durable.

In addition to the magnificent main building, there are also auxiliary buildings on both sides.

To the right rear, the house closest to the Lower Montana River was built by Henry for the families of the armed special forces members. Although it is only two stories high, it occupies a considerable area, not only close to the river but also with small yards in the front and back, where they can grow vegetables and flowers.

The first floor of the building features a spacious living room and dining area, along with several small kitchens, a bathroom, and several large, spacious bedrooms. The second floor houses over a dozen bedrooms of various sizes, each equipped with a flush toilet and shower.

The annex to the left rear is much simpler. It is a two-story building with an oval shape, where servants, ordinary guards, and farm staff live. All the rooms are the same size and have more than 20 rooms plus 5 toilets and bathrooms on each floor.

Besides the main building and its annexes, the estate also has many other buildings and facilities, such as stables, warehouses, horse farms, and pavilions. Although these buildings are not as grand as the main building, they are all exquisitely designed and complement the main building, forming a complete architectural complex.

The landscape design within the estate is also exquisite. At the entrance, there is a huge fountain. Surrounding the fountain are flower beds and lawns, with colorful flowers and lush green grass complementing each other, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

As for the planned school, Henry changed his mind and decided not to build it on the manor. Instead, he planned to buy a piece of land next to Blackwater and build a large school so that other children in Blackwater would also have the opportunity to receive an education.

To this end, he has sent letters to his college classmate at Princeton, his sister Oona who is studying at Barnard College in New York State, and Sophia who is studying at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, asking them to inquire with graduating seniors if any of them would like to come to the West to teach and let the seeds of civilization blossom there.

During this period, there was no concept of a teacher's qualification certificate. Generally, as long as you had received higher education, you could become a teacher. In some remote areas, even literacy was sufficient. Due to societal norms and limitations on career choices at the time, women became the primary group of teachers.

He is willing to pay a high salary of $100 per month. Anyone with concerns about the environment, safety, or compensation is welcome to visit, and he will reimburse their round-trip travel expenses and security services during the visit.

Henry hasn't finalized his plans for developing the area in the Thieves' Territory yet. He originally intended to build a cola production plant or a coffee processing plant, but he didn't want to pollute such a good water source nearby, so he put it on hold for now. He'll wait until later to build the factory on the Comassa River near Roots. Anyway, the lower reaches there have already been ruined by Saint Denis, so a little pollution in the middle and lower reaches won't make a difference. Besides, the factories he plans to build aren't considered heavily polluting industries.

As for the remaining island in the lake, Henry planned to develop it into a leisure and tourist island. He even wrote a letter to Sofia to see if she had any ideas. The young girl happily replied that she had personally found someone to design it and would supervise the construction herself when she returned from her vacation.

Henry also had the original dock in Guy Cove expanded, making it much more upscale. The port, which could only accommodate small boats before, can now easily accommodate several small cruise ships. The original small houses were also demolished and rebuilt into two-story brick and stone houses.

After touring the Guyver estate, Henry returned to his residence in Blackwater. The Guyver estate was newly built, and much of the furniture and decorations were missing, making it uninhabitable.

Henry needed William and Megan to handle the purchasing and decorations. He planned to host a grand banquet at his estate after the Blackwater heist, inviting all of Blackwater's elite to attend. This would allow him to showcase his power, make friends from all walks of life, and expand his network of connections.

The next day, at Blackwater Bar.

Henry specifically sent a message to the Calander brothers and Jenny, asking them to come over.

Henry felt he should give them a heads-up since he didn't see them when they came last time, and with the big heist just around the corner, he thought it best to give them a heads-up.

In the afternoon, through Arthur's connections, the Calander brothers and Jenny received the information and rushed over. Because it was close to the arrival time of the armory ship, there were inexplicably many more bounty hunters in town. Therefore, Dutch advised everyone to avoid going to town unless absolutely necessary. Currently, only Hosea and Arthur from the gang were active in town. They were still maintaining relations with the conman and were preparing to close the net in a couple of days.
