Chapter: 6396

Leaf Chen nodded and said, "I let Helena give him a new offer. As long as he can help me build an AI model in Northern Europe, I'll provide him with another elixir, and his physical condition will be even better. If he continues to comply with my requests, maybe at some point in the future, you two will have the same physiological age."

Steve's heart was filled with extreme unease, and it seemed like his father had already hooked up with Leaf Chen through Helena, so that Leaf Chen could ask him or even the entire Rossholz family to do whatever he wanted, as long as he just handed over the elixir and let Helena pass on the message. This way, he, the heir, might really have to die.

With a sense of hopelessness, he picked up his cup and drank the remaining half full in one gulp, then looked at Leaf Chen with a reverent tone and said, "Mr. Leaf, I must admit that I was indeed hypocritical earlier, but I've now deeply realized my mistake. Please guide me on the right path. If I still have the chance, I'll definitely make a double effort. If not, after this trip, I'll completely take it easy and won't do what he wants again."

Steve's heart was very clear: once his father's lifespan continues to be extended, and his own age keeps increasing, the next heir will be farther away from him. By the time his father is a hundred years old, he himself would have already retired. At that point, his father would definitely bypass him and let his son take over.

Letting his son take over is good; if he lets someone younger than him, like a brother, take over, then it's truly a disaster. By then, our line will be destined to become the outside relatives of the Rossholz family, gradually being marginalized.

So, he is now willing to do whatever Leaf Chen wants in exchange for an opportunity, but everything depends on whether Leaf Chen is willing to give him this chance.

Leaf Chen smiled and said, "Do you understand the situation at the Fee's house?"

Steve replied, "I understand a bit."

Leaf Chen asked him, "Don't you know that the old master of the Fee's house is like your father, with his physical condition already greatly restored, but why does he still want to pass on the position to Fee Ke Xin?"

Steve shook his head and asked in a probing tone, "Is it because he loves this granddaughter?"

Leaf Chen waved his hand dismissively: "Your father wouldn't not love you, would he? Loving you doesn't mean giving you the position. He gives you money that can't be spent, provides the best living conditions and material foundation for you - isn't that showing you care?"

Steve caught on to something unusual and quickly asked him, "Leaf Master, please clarify for me."

Leaf Chen said, "The old master of the Fee's house wants to pass the position to Fee Ke Xin because I've given him a condition for longevity - he must let his granddaughter inherit the position. If I don't give it to her, I won't give him the elixir, even if he offers me more money."

As he spoke, Leaf Chen looked at Steve seriously: "If one day you make me feel that you're reliable enough, I'll tie your father's longevity opportunity and yours together for you to think about. If one day your father can only obtain the elixir through you, but he has to give up his position as tribe leader - will he refuse?"

Steve's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to say, "If it's a choice between power and life, he'll definitely choose life. But if he only has one option, he'll definitely choose the latter."

He stopped talking and immediately excitedly told Leaf Chen: "Leaf Master, how can you help me achieve my wish?"

Leaf Chen smiled: "Steve, unbreakable friendship requires time to forge and verify - but you don't have to be afraid of time. If I can make you live for a hundred years, even if you're sixty when you take over, you'll still have forty years left. If I can make you live to be 122, by the time you're sixty, you'll just be at your prime."

Steve was utterly unconcerned about Leaf Chen's words; his elixir was incredibly magical, and living to be 120 wasn't even a question.

If it really is like he said, then I must do my best to seek his help - otherwise, once I'm 122 years old and that person is my father, then I'll truly have no way out.

As he thought about this, he said without hesitation: "Mr. Leaf, after I return and fulfill my mission, I'll apply to my father for permission, and then I'll be responsible for our family's business in the Asia-Pacific region. When that time comes, I'll increase our family's investment in Jinling, and work together with you to build a greater and better Jinling. In the future, Jinling will become my second hometown! That way, I can visit you frequently and have a good time with wine and talk, I don't know if you welcome it or not?"

Leaf Chen nodded and smiled: "I certainly welcome your willingness to invest in Jinling."

Steve immediately said: "That's settled then! Wait for my good news, and when I come back to Jinling again, I'll definitely set a record for the highest foreign investment in Jinling's history!"

What does this have to do with me?

Steve had already thought it through.

Since he was already on Leaf Chen's ship, he couldn't just sit there all day feeling miserable and helpless. JrNovels.com
