Steve is fully aware that the Banks Family holds the title of the most powerful family in China, and he is eager to form a friendship with them. Considering that he hase to Aurous Hill for a simr reason and has received an invitation from Mr. Banks to apany him to the hotel, this presents an excellent opportunity for Steve to foster a rtionship with the Banks Family, which could also help him in his quest to find his son. It truly is a win-win situation!
Expressing his gratitude, Steve remarked, “Mr. Banks, I must say that since my son and his associates went missing, I haven’t had anyone to rely on in Aurous Hill, which left me without a means for transportation. I sincerely appreciate you allowing me to join you on your way to the hotel!”
James smiled subtly in response: “You’re too kind. Our Banks Family had connections with the Rothschild family in the past. Although we faced some challenges, we eventually reached an agreement, leading to a form of friendship!”<fnc6a8> Readplete version only at find?novel</fnc6a8>
Steve nodded in agreement and added, “If the opportunity arises in the future, I would love for us to establish substantial cooperation with the Banks Family, possibly even involving the Rothschilds. I can also encourage my mother to engage more with them to explore potential new partnerships.”
James felt quite pleased. Although he didn’t take Steve too seriously, he recognized the value of his connections with the Rothschild family. He thought to himself: “The Rothschild family is the most influential family in the world, and their impact far surpasses that of the Banks Family. If I can truly connect with the Rothschilds, it might not only benefit the entire Banks Family but could also greatly enhance my own standing within it!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
With this thought, he smiled and said to Steve, “Come on, Steve, let’s head to the hotel in my car. I’ll host dinner tonight, and we can exchange information and discuss any new opportunities that arise.”
Steve responded enthusiastically, “That sounds fantastic, Mr. Banks! I have no objections!”
James weed Steve into his car, while Steve’spanions were less fortunate, as they had to take a taxi to the hotel. Steve and James settled into the back seat of one of the leading vehicles. As the convoy pulled away from the airport, Steve began sharing details about his son, Walter, with James. Unbeknownst to Steve, he was unaware of Walter’s intentions regarding Doris Young or his negative actions towards Doris’s father. To Steve, his son was simply focused on growing his business in Aurous Hill, and he had no inkling that Walter would suddenly vanish without a trace.
After listening to Steve’s ount, James found himself even more puzzled and whispered, “It would make sense if it were just Walter who had gone missing, but it’s quite odd that so many people have disappeared at once.”
“Absolutely!” Steve sighed. “Initially, I suspected he might have been kidnapped, but I haven’t received any ransom demands from anyone.”
He continued, “I’ve even had someone investigate all of my son’s bank transactions. Since his disappearance, none of his ounts have shown any activity. If this was truly a kidnapping for money, it’s strange that no one has asked for any ransom.”
“Indeed,” James replied, his brow furrowed. “For a dozen people to vanish simultaneously and have all surveince records conveniently erased indicates that the force behind it must be extremely powerful.”
As he pondered this, James couldn’t help but reflect on Deana and Zara’s disappearance in the tunnel, along with John Garrett, the old man’s personal guard, also going missing. It seemed nearly impossible for someone to orchestrate such events. Aurous Hill is a rtively small second-tier city, and even if there are prominent figures lurking in the shadows, it’s unlikely that more than two formidable forces could operate here, making Steve’s son disappear along with Deana and Zara. It appeared that it all led back to a single group.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
