Chapter: 6029

He knew very well that it was unlikely that he could get rid of Ye Chen, the evil star, and it was still unknown whether he could survive in the end. If he had known that the Four-sided Treasure Tower was here, he might as well have brought a hundred excavators to dig it out from the beginning. Three feet of ground, if he could find the Four-sided Treasure Pagoda before Ye Chen, his mission would be accomplished.

But now, not only did he fail to complete the task, he might even lose his life.

Seeing Steve's depressed and regretful expression, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Steve, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"

Steve was startled and said quickly: "No, no, you misunderstood..."

"Leaf Chen smiled, his eyes twinkling with deep meaning. 'Steve, in reality, we two don't necessarily have to be enemies,' he said. 'Think about it: if you still hope to get the Four-sided Treasure by now, then we'll be each other's greatest enemy. But if I were to quietly take away the Four-sided Treasure today, wouldn't that be a good thing for you?'"

"'Good thing?' Steve was taken aback, his thinking and judgment speed severely impaired due to excessive tension."

"Leaf Chen smiled again. 'Didn't your father say that whoever can bring back the Four-sided Treasure will be the first in line to inherit? But think about it from a different perspective: if no one can bring back the Four-sided Treasure, then you'll still be the first in line to inherit, won't you?'"

"...thought-provoking words let Steve pause involuntarily."

"Carefully considering Leaf Chen's words, Steve realized that they made sense - whoever takes it away is the first in line to inherit. So his brain was thinking: hurry up and take the Four-sided Treasure back to prevent others from getting a chance."

"Right in front of him, his life was entirely in others' hands, just being able to survive was already a gift from heaven. So he subconsciously asked Leaf Chen: 'Sir, can you guarantee that this Four-sided Treasure will never fall into the hands of other members of the Rockefeller family again?'"

Leaf Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, asking coldly: "You're using the word 'guarantee' rather loosely, aren't you? What qualification do you have to ask me to guarantee it?"

Steve hastily apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean that. You shouldn't misunderstand..."

Leaf Chen pressed him with a stern question: "So what did you mean?"

Steve wiped his forehead coldly and stammered: "Ah... ah... I just want to know... how do you plan to handle the Four-sided Treasure..."

Leaf Chen looked at him, speaking calmly: "The Four-sided Treasure is originally yours, so I'll just let it return to its rightful owner, complete and perfect, back in China."

As he spoke, Leaf Chen looked at Steve again and added: "So you don't need to worry too much. As long as the Four-sided Treasure returns to China, China will naturally protect it well and won't let this national treasure leave Chinese soil again."

Hearing these words, Steve's heart suddenly relaxed, and his mouth even broke into an involuntary smile.

He rubbed his hands excitedly, mumbling: "Too great, really too great..."

Leaf Chen smiled and asked him, "What's good about it?"

Steve hastily replied, "This Four-sided Treasure is originally from China, after all. It would naturally be best for it to return to China..."

Leaf Chen asked again, "Why didn't you agree with your father, who had always been hoping that the Four-sided Treasure could return to your family? Why did you not follow his wishes?"

Steve thought Leaf Chen was testing him, so he immediately spoke up in a righteous tone: "Sir, I'm not hiding anything from you. My father's brain is still full of expansionist thoughts, and he thinks if he can grab something, it's automatically his. How could that be? We're living in a civilized society now! This Four-sided Treasure has always been misused, and now that it should return to its original owner, I accept modern laws and regulations, and my sense of justice is still there!"

Leaf Chen nodded satisfiedly and asked him: "So you're willing to help me bring the Four-sided Treasure back to China, even though you are the first-born heir of the Rothschild family, and your father is the patriarch of the family? Even if you hope that the Four-sided Treasure can return to the Rothschild family, you would still be willing to defy his wishes and help me achieve this goal?"

Steve nodded firmly and clenched his fists in mid-air, saying with great determination: "Yes! I'm willing!"

After finishing speaking, Steve quickly used a very humble tone and whispered: "But sir, may I have a small request? I hope you can agree to it." JrNovels.com
