When Fleur learned that the Four-Sided Treasure Tower had returned to Oskia, she knew her chance to grab it was gone. For the past three thousand years, she had always adhered to the principle that she must not provoke any country. Except for a few small countries, most sovereign countries in the world had their own absolute advantage compared to the Qing Eliminating Society. Even the smallest sovereign country had its own territory and airspace. As long as it had a budget, it could purchase fighter jets from a big country. If it had territorial waters, it could even buy its own warships. These two points were beyond the reach of the Qing Eliminating Society. Although the organization currently had strong financial power and individual strength, it had no advantage at all when it came to heavy-duty weapons and equipment, let alone weapons of mass destruction. Besides, the Four-Sided Treasure Tower was a national treasure of great importance. Oskia would certainly not allow
Just as Fleur was taking the helicopter back to New York, Harrison was lying weakly on the bed. His eye bags were large and black, indicating that he had spent yet another sleepless night. Harrison had been constantly tormented mentally and emotionally over the past few days, and the ongoing devastations had reached a climax early this morning. He never expected that Hank's pursuit of Biden would ultimately lead Zekeiah to commit suicide by arson. Harrison was even more overwhelmed upon discovering that Zekeiah was a member of the Qing Eliminating Society. Although he had followed Keith's advice and destroyed the evidence at the hangar, he was uneasy because he had offended an organization that was infamously known for its mysterious and vicious existence. There were many mysterious organizations in the United States with a long history, shrouded in mystery and cruelty, but none of them could be compared to the Qing Eliminating Society. He was not sure if anyone in the organ
Harrison then pointed at Devin with his shaking hand and cursed, "Bastard! You are all completely useless!" Anxious, Devin started, "Dad, I just received the news. It's official news from Oskia. The news was translated and published on American online media, which is how we became aware of it. However, there is no description or explanation in the news about how it returned to Oskia. I'm not clear on how it actually got back, but the fact is, it has indeed returned to Oskia—" "Shut up!" Harrison interjected him with a roar. "Go and protest at the Oskian embassy! Tell them that the tower is our family's private asset and demand that they return it immediately!" He added while heaving angrily, "Don't wait for their answer. Call Julien back instantly, have him lead a team along with the best lawyers in the country to Oskia, and negotiate with the Oskians. If that doesn't work, sue them! I don't care what you do, but I want the Four-Sided Treasure Tower back!" "But, Dad..." Devin l
Seeing Devin turn around and walk away, Harrison hurriedly called after him, his heart skipping a beat, "Wait!" "Yes?" Devin turned back and asked, "Anything else?" Harrison said, "Contact the pollster and the legal team and have them analyze the most reasonable way to tackle this, considering public opinion and legal principles." With a nod, Devin took out his phone and called the two heads of the pollster and legal teams via the family's video conferencing app. One of the two people Harrison summoned was an excellent journalist, and the other was a popular lawyer in the country. They were well-known figures in New York. The Rothschild family had recruited them, and they had become the family's think tank. Therefore, they were very attentive to every move the family made. They had long known about the family's search for the Four-Sided Treasure Tower and the family's unfavorable position in public because of the tower. Now, they had also received news that the Four-Sided Treas
Realizing that the possibility of getting the Four-Sided Treasure Tower back from Oskia was almost nil, Harrison heaved in panic, his mental state collapsing without him even realizing it. He recalled all the efforts he had made and all the losses he had suffered to retrieve the tower. As the memories flooded his mind, he felt as if his heart was about to stop beating. Convulsing uncontrollably, he shouted almost hysterically, "Biden! Fuck you! How did you get the tower back to Oskia?!" "Our paths were never crossed all the while. Why did you do this to me?!" "You not only stole my belongings but also dragged me into this mess! My family has suffered the biggest crisis in decades because of you!" "Now, not only is my reputation ruined, but the tower is completely gone, and all my effort in recovering the tower has gone down the drain!" "Okay, you are dead now, but why did you drag the Qing Eliminating Society into this?! Why couldn't you just die like the shit you are! Argh
Soon, several physicians came over and instantly rushed Harrison, who had suffered a stroke, to the emergency room for immediate treatment. As Harrison was being rushed to the emergency room, Devin quickly synchronized the incident to the immediate family members. At this moment, Julien was staring at his phone in Canada. He had received the news about the Four-Sided Treasure Tower's return to Oskia a few minutes ago, so he kept looking at his phone, waiting for anyone to send news about Harrison's sudden illness. Julien figured that at Harrison's age, the numerous setbacks coupled with the news of the tower returning to Oskia would deal Harrison a huge blow. A serious illness would be the least of it. There was a real chance that he would pass away due to the shock. At this moment, a notification appeared on his phone, which was the Rothschild family's communication software. Overjoyed, Julien quickly clicked on the notification and saw the message from Devin that said. "D
Charlie entered the room, and the minute he saw the wide grin on Julien's face, he knew that something must have happened to Harrison, so he asked, "Oh, why are you so happy? Is it about your dad?" "W-What?" Julien stammered. "D-Do I look happy?" Pointing to his lips while nodding, Charlie teased, "You are literally grinning from ear to ear, and it seems impossible to uncurl it." Julien hastily rubbed the corners of his mouth and mumbled, "I just couldn't help it..." Then, he resisted a smile, feigned a sad grimace, and said, "I received news from the family. M-My father had a stroke." Charlie nodded calmly, feeling no surprise. Harrison was in his eighties, after all. His golden age combined with the devastation of the loss of the Four-Sided Treasure Tower that he treasured so much had definitely taken a huge blow to his body and soul. He should count his blessing that he hadn't died right away. The Rothschild family's medical team must have played an indispensable role be
The current situation was clearly favorable to Julien. No matter how well Harrison recovered after a stroke, there would inevitably be many after-effects, and more importantly, his spirits would likely be greatly affected. All of this would reduce his chances of continuing to lead the family. Julien felt that he effectively held real power as he could directly inherit the family now or in certain contexts, he could manage all family affairs in the capacity of an heir. Therefore, he could not interpret that Charlie was actually warning him. He assumed that Charlie had advised him not to be so happy so that he could control his emotions better after returning to New York. This was the first time he was truly moved by Charlie's actions. He had always been upset with Charlie, whom he reluctantly saw as a partner, but he was now moved by the fact that Charlie cared about him. He muttered under his breath, "He's so nice to me. It would be rather cruel of me to fall out with hi
