For Charlie Wade, Gustavo has lost his practical value after sessfully connecting with Bruce Weinstein.
A once-powerful Mexican drug lord is now incarcerated in an American prison, while his son harbors intentions of eliminating him at the earliest opportunity. Clearly, such a figure holds little worth anymore.
The only way to restore his significance would be to spring him from prison, return him to Mexico, and aid him in reiming control over the Sanchez family.
However, this approach is not economically viable for Charlie Wade.
First and foremost, Gustavo is a widely known drug trafficker. Deep down, Charlie Wade is reluctant to get too entangled with someone of such notoriety, especially concerning mutual interests.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Secondly, Gustavo is a major target of the U.S. government, which has invested considerable resources to ensure his extradition from Mexico. Capturing a high-profile drug lord is a significant achievement for the U.S. anti-drug initiatives. To save face, the U.S. must keep him incarcerated. If he were to escape, it would represent a serious blow to U.S. justice and its reputation.<fn9726> Updates are released by FιndNovel</fn9726>
In such a scenario, the U.S. government would intensify efforts to recapture him. Even if Gustavo manages to return to Mexico and regain his influence, he would likely notst long before being apprehended once again.
Thus, the most strategic move for Charlie Wade is to allow Gustavo to expend his remaining energy. If Gustavo is willing to eliminate his own son and betray the Rothschild family, he can swiftly lose that little bit of influence he has left.
Moreover, Charlie Wade is not merely exploiting Gustavo. If Gustavo can sessfully navigate a way to survive between the Rothschild family and his son, he could potentially secure his own safety.
In this manner, he would not only undermine the Rothschild family but also ensure his own survival, leaving him grateful to Charlie Wade—a true win-win situation.
At this moment, Gustavo began to grasp the fundamental logic behind Charlie Wade’s strategy. Previously, as a powerful drug lord ustomed to brute force, he rarely employed such intricate strategies in his dealings, whether with colleagues or adversaries. His approach with the government typically revolved around two tactics: co-opting them or eliminating them outright, leaving little room for psychological maniption.
After contemting Charlie Wade’s reasoning, he felt a deep admiration and quickly eximed, “Mr. Wade, your strategy is brilliant! I never considered this approach… Someone once mentioned your Chinese treatise “The Art of War” to me. I didn’t take it seriously at the time, but now I see I must study these profound Eastern philosophies.” Charlie looked at him, smiled, and replied, “No need to delve into that now. After all, you’ll be here for life. As long as you follow my guidance, you can carve out a niche for yourself right here in this eternal resting ce.”
Gustavo scoffed but nodded with enthusiasm, agreeing, “Mr. Wade, you’re absolutely right; I will indeed spend my remaining years in this prison.”
