Chapter: 6011

Just when Howard was standing at the edge of the pit, celebrating, Gustav suddenly burst out and, without hesitation, hugged Howard and jumped into the pit with him, giving Howard a mortal blow.

In an instant, the curses and insults against Howard on the internet were endless like spring showers after a rainstorm.

The Rockefeller family never thought they would be stabbed in the back by Gustav in an instant, panic-stricken and chaotic.

To make deals with drug lords, enjoy prison privileges, and gain benefits through them in Mexico - such things were originally not fit for public consumption.

If it had been in the 19th century during the Opium Wars, when everyone was a drug lord, including British nobles and royals, then the Rockefeller family's connection to drug lords would be nothing out of the ordinary.

But now we are in the modern civilized world of the 21st century, where the British royal family has long since cleaned up its image, and the Rockefeller family is still dealing with drug lords - this behavior is extremely unacceptable today, and almost instantly dragged the Rockefeller family's reputation to the bottom.

Howard suddenly sat up from his bed, looking at his son who had come to report the news, his anger uncontainable: "Who wants to take out Gustav?! When did I ever say I'd take him out?!"

"The eldest son said awkwardly, 'Father, we have a cooperation agreement with Gustav. How could we possibly want to take him out? This must be due to some misunderstanding or Gustav's deliberate fabrication.'"

"Howard countered, 'Gustav has already reached an agreement with us. He's now fabricating lies and framing us for no good reason. And I don't understand why he would do this - does he really think we'd let him get away with it? If the American government starts investigating this, he'll lose all the privileges we've given him. What will he have left to live for?'"

"The eldest son shook his head, saying, 'I just can't figure out why Gustav would do this - emotionally and rationally speaking, he shouldn't be turning on us like this.'"

"Howard spoke gravely, 'Let's think carefully about what's really going on here. What could have led Gustav to give up his current privileged life and turn against us?'"

"The eldest son shrugged, 'I can't think of a reason - for him, the best choice would be to cooperate with us. Even if the entire Sanchez family is like that, it makes no sense for them to start trouble now.'"

"Howard fell silent for a moment before speaking seriously, 'Unless Gustav's life really has been threatened by someone who wants to take him out, and he feels forced to turn on us.'"

"The Sanchez family's stronghold was situated in this place famous for its orchids. The Sanchez family's mansion had long since ceased to be comparable to an estate, as they possessed over a hundred square miles of land and had cultivated large quantities of valuable orchids on this fertile land, building numerous super-luxurious estates.

Unlike those billionaires listed in the Forbes ranking, who were mostly valued at tens of billions but hardly had any liquidity, the Sanchez family's hundreds of billions of dollars in assets were almost entirely liquid.

The value of an entrepreneur's wealth is often estimated and cannot be realized, such as the market value of their publicly traded company being one trillion US dollars, with the entrepreneur personally owning 51% of the shares. In theory, this means they are worth half a trillion dollars, but these shares cannot be freely reduced or cashed out. At most, they can use part of the shares to secure loans, but the money obtained from these secured shares is not at their disposal and must be repaid in full if business is bad or market conditions deteriorate.

The Sanchez family was different.

Their wealth came entirely from converting gold and silver from the United States and around the world into true riches through their mercury trade. Therefore, they were free to spend lavishly without worrying about the consequences.

At the center of the entire Sanchez family stronghold stood a magnificent architectural complex reminiscent of an ancient fortress, where the core members of the Sanchez family resided.

Ektor Sanchez, Gustav's son, lived here too.

Since he took over as the ruler of this mercury empire after replacing his father, Ektor has been flying by helicopter every day to survey the entire Sanchez family territory and each time reinforced his determination to continue developing this empire into a mighty one.

However, the present-day Sanchez family is being led by the Rothschild family."

The reason for this is because his father, Gustav Sanchez, was under the control of the Rothschild family.

His father being imprisoned by others made Ektor feel extremely constrained, but whenever he wanted to set boundaries with the Rothschild family, everyone around him would remind him that his father Gustav was still in the Rothschild family's hands, so no matter what, they had to maintain good relations with the Rothschild family and couldn't be too impulsive.

Ektor has many grand plans for himself, but all those plans he thought of have been overturned by the Rothschild family over this period. Whenever he wants to confront the Rothschild family, Gustav becomes a tool for them to manipulate him. JrNovels.com
