As he spoke, he tentatively asked, “Old guy, since this video was released, people have started ming Rothschild. If I handle this situation carefully, I might be able to resolve the issue once and for all. What do you think? Right? Jose?”


    Jose paused for a moment before replying, “Boss, while your theory seems sound, have you thought about whether the Rothschild family would actually ept the me? Once they discover your involvement, not only will they expose the truth, but they could also influence the US government to take action against you. At that point, other members of the Sanchez family might turn against you, and the Americans would likely harbor resentment as well. If they align with your father, they might even seek to rece you with him, leaving you at risk of ending up in jail in the United States.”


    Continuing, Jose added, “And don’t forget, your father asked for your help in that video, which the entire world saw. If he were to die under suspicious circumstances, it would send a clear message: you couldn’t even protect your own father.”


    “Wait!” Ector’s expression shifted, and he asked quietly, “So what do you suggest I do, Jose?”<fn26a3> Chapters first released on Find~Novel</fn26a3>


    After some thought, Jose suggested, “Boss, I believe the best course of action now is to publicly confront the Rothschild family. Initially, you should present yourself as a devoted son whose father is in danger. Then, you can make strong statements that if anything were to happen to your father, the entire Sanchez family would exact revenge. Given the current damage to the Rothschild family’s reputation, this is the ideal moment to strike. If the majority of Americans feel morally outraged, they may take the me themselves!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Jose continued, “As for your concern about the Rothschilds discovering the truth…”


    “There’s really no need to worry. We just need to eliminate anyone who might ry the information. This would sever the link to the evidence of hiring Joseph, and even if they investigate inside the prison, they’ll find nothing substantial. Ultimately, it won’t matter if they use you; we can always im they are ndering you. What truly matters is public perception, Hector.”


    Ector pondered for a moment and asked, “So what you’re saying is that I shouldn’t kill the old guy?”


    “Exactly,” Jose rified. “In this scenario, it doesn’t matter if you want him dead or alive. As long as he lives, he can be beneficial to everyone. If he were to die, not only would you lose face, but the Rothschild family would also suffer reputational damage, and the U.S. government would be a target for public outrage. If everyone remains calm, this situation will eventually fade from public memory. However, if someone does kill him, both the Rothschilds and the Americans would scramble to clear their names, putting us in a much weaker position.”


    Ector sighed deeply, gritting his teeth as he said, “This seems to be the only path forward. I just hope the Americans won’t dig up the past or use it against me.”


    José responded, “The Rothschild family has too many concerns of their own right now. Even Howard has had to step back and adopt a more conciliatory approach. I doubt there will be any immediate trouble.”


    Before long, Héctor, representing the entire Sanchez family, released a video protesting to both the US government and the Rothschild family.


    In that video, he not only vehemently criticized the Rothschild family but also issued a stern warning: if anything were to happen to his father, he would dere all-out war against them.
