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
The only leverage Charlie had to completely control Julien was that Julien had betrayed his family and helped send the Four-Sided Treasure Tower out of New York and back to Oskia. In order to control him using this leverage, Charlie had to make sure that the sly Harrison was in real power. Otherwise, if he informed Harrison of Julien's betrayal after Julien ascended the throne, Harrison would be left with no choice but to swallow his grievances, or Julien would come at him. - Julien met up with Royce, who had come to Canada earlier, and took a helicopter back to New York. While they were cruising mid-air, Harrison, who was lying in his family mansion's emergency room, began to stabilize. Despite the stabilization, his nervous system had been severely affected. The most serious condition was that he had almost no nerve sensation on the right side of his body. In addition to his right hand, right arm, right leg, and right foot, the muscles of his face and tongue on the ri
The doctor's stern advice made Harrison reconsider the matter of the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. It was true that he had invested a whole lot of effort into retrieving the tower, and even his health had been jeopardized. However, if he continued to cling to it, it would only expand his losses, and he would not have a chance to recover those losses. Hence, the most reasonable thing to do now was to halt the mission. He had to admit and accept the fact that all his previous investments had gone down the drain. It would be the best solution in the current situation as long as he could let go of it. After all, as the head of a prominent family and an expert in investment, Harrison realized that the situation was not salvageable, and he immediately solidified his resolve to cut his losses in a timely manner. So, he summoned Devin and said, "Tell all departments to end all blockades in New York, and no one is allowed to mention the matter of the Four-Sided Treasure Tower in the future
Devin had no intention of flattering Julien. He had studied the book "Art of War" some time ago and researched some ancient Oskian documents on power tactics. He was taking this opportunity to flatter Julien, making him feel invincible to consequently force him to make unintentional mistakes. After all, Harrison was still alive and held absolute power in the family. If Julien carelessly made any mistakes, Harrison might be repulsed by his attitude and disqualify him from his position as an heir. On the other hand, Devin had no intention to compete for the position of heir. He merely felt that Harrison's continued reign was the best situation for them, and it was much better than any other sibling succeeding the throne. Julien was over the moon when his brothers came to him with pleading looks and humble statures. They were brothers, and there was no class difference between them. But now, he was finally about to take the decisive step as an heir, which indicated that his brothe
