The Amazing son in law Chapter 6507
”I…”
Helena’s words sent a shiver through Steve’s liver.
If Helena’s earlier statement was meant as a caution for herself, then her latest words carried an unmistakable threat! The murderous intent was palpable in just a few phrases!
Steve wasn’t oblivious. He quickly grasped the implications. He thought, “After the old man’s experience with the elixir for recovery, he will undoubtedly become heavily reliant on it. He will likely be reborn next time.” If he falls ill again or faces a life-threatening situation, he will certainly seek out a pill to prolong his life at any cost.”
”Once the old man adopts the mindset of ‘at all costs,’ he will disregard any established rules.”
”Take the Sifang Baozhu incident as an example. The old man made a unilateral decision without consulting me, his eldest son. He declared that whoever retrieves the Sifang Baozhu for the Rothschild family would become the next heir. Isn’t that just plain thuggery?”
Given this precedent, it’s clear what would happen next. If the old man needs elixirs again and can’t obtain them, he will likely issue the same decree: whoever brings him a magical elixir can inherit the family…”
“In that scenario, I, the eldest son, could lose my position as the primary heir at any moment. If I were to anger Charlie Wade and he decided to ally with my brothers to secure a pill, wouldn’t I be directly ousted?!”
This line of thought led to a sudden, fleeting idea: “What if I seize power through force?”
However, this notion quickly vanished from his mind.
Steve realized that even if he entertained the idea of a forceful takeover, he stood no chance.
The Rothschild family’s roots are deeply entrenched in New York. While the security in the local slums may be chaotic, the affluent areas have an unmatched level of safety. Around the Rothschild estate alone, there are at least three police stations, complete with multiple police helicopters. The local law enforcement is exceptionally vigilant; even a minor theft in a wealthy neighborhood would prompt a helicopter response.
Additionally, the old man commands a private security force dedicated solely to his protection. This armed unit serves him exclusively, meaning even his own sons are under their watchful eye.
Furthermore, the old man has established extensive connections with various influential departments in New York and across the United States. He even set up a special fund for these entities. Although the fund is relatively modest at around one billion dollars, its sole purpose is clear: in the event of his untimely death, this fund will be used to ensure a thorough investigation, regardless of who the perpetrator might be. Rothschild’s formidable legal team will pursue justice to the fullest extent of the law.
If he attempted to seize power by force, it was highly likely he would meet with fatal consequences before he succeeded. Even if he did manage to take control, he would likely face swift legal repercussions. Wouldn’t that just make him a pawn for his brothers?
Suddenly, another thought crossed Steve’s mind: “Even if I were to become the head of the Rothschild family in the future, I might still rely on Charlie Wade’s assistance. I’m already over fifty; if I wait too long and manage to ascend to power in a few years, I could be pushing sixty. That would leave me with a maximum of twenty years as clan leader… But if Charlie Wade could provide me with some pills, perhaps I could hold the patriarch position for thirty years or even longer…”
“It seems, no matter what, I cannot afford to fall out with Charlie Wade!”
With these thoughts settled in his mind, Steve quickly adopted a sycophantic demeanor. He turned to Helena and said, “Your Majesty the Queen, please convey to Mr. Wade that while I may have had different intentions in the past, from now on, I, Steve Rothschild, pledge my unwavering loyalty to Mr. Wade!”
Helena smiled subtly and replied, “Mr. Wade has returned to China. If you get the chance, you can tell him in person.”
