Chapter: 6033

Therefore, he deliberately told Steve: "Don't worry, since we've decided to cooperate, I definitely won't betray you without reason. As long as you help me take the Four Directions Treasure out of the US, your inheritance position will not be threatened, and I will also keep this secret for you."

"Although the Leaves did have some issues with you in the past, we do have an opportunity to break the ice this time. When your old man passes away and you smoothly become the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, we might even have many opportunities for deeper cooperation in the future. As they say, friends are together for life. Although you're a bit older now, you'll definitely not be a problem for 30 or 40 years to come. In the future, let's all get along and be good friends for another 30 or 40 years."

Steve didn't know that Leaf was recording at the time; hearing him say this, his heart felt slightly better. He knew that since he had given Leaf a hold over him, it was entirely up to himself whether Leaf would expose everything.

Now, Steve's life is in Leaf's hands;

In the future, Steve's secret will also be in Leaf's hands.

It seems this was meant to be escaped, but not now.

However, Steve wasn't an idiot either.

He quickly figured out the pros and cons here.

If he didn't cooperate with Leaf, Leaf might let Hank kill himself and his son right away.

To put it bluntly, Hank became his dog without knowing why, and if Hank killed someone, he wouldn't take any responsibility; maybe no one would even know.

In comparison, cooperating with Leaf would make the situation much clearer.

At least, life could be preserved.

And besides, if I could really help Leaf bring back the four-leafed jade, then inheriting the title would also be secured.

Securing the inheritance, I'll just outlive the old folks and become the patriarch of the Rockefeller family.

There are so many benefits that I have some leverage in Leaf's hands; what's the point of counting anyway?

Compared to this, Leaf's control over it is not always effective.

The most effective time period was when the old folks were still alive.

As a designated heir, I had to tread carefully, as if on thin ice. If the situation were exposed, my position would not only be lost but also put me in a cold宫.

However, once the old folks passed away and I took over smoothly, this control would only have moral influence left.

At that point, even if Leaf were exposed, I would at most lose face and get scolded, but the seat of the family head had already been secured. Being scolded a couple of times wouldn't be a big deal.

Upon realizing this layer, he no longer hesitated and immediately declared his loyalty to Leaf: "Mr. Leaf, don't worry, I'll stake my old life on it. I'll also help you bring back the four-leafed jade to China!"

Leaf's heart was numb, so he deliberately asked him, "Steve, I'd like to know what drives you to make such a selfless decision?"

"It is justice!"

With an extremely strong desire to survive, Steve said resolutely: "Of course it's my conscience! As a person with a clear conscience, the four-leafed jade is originally China's treasure, and Rockefeller has taken it away from China for nearly two hundred years. As a member of the Rockefeller family, I feel deeply ashamed and uneasy about this. If I could do something to help bring back the four-leafed jade, I would have done my part to justify my own conscience!"

"Not bad, not bad!" Leaf couldn't help but praise: "Steve, you're really no exception! You're a clear stream within the Rockefeller family! In the future, if you can become the head of the Rockefeller family, our family will be your strategic partner!" JrNovels.com
