Currently, we find ourselves near the Zhou family manor.<fn366e> Chapters first released on f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn366e>


    A significant number of agents, organized by the Rothschild family, are strategically positioned both around and within the Zhou family manor.


    They have even acquired an additional vi adjacent to Zhou’s manor, repurposing it as the operationalmand center.


    On the third floor of this vi, which offers a clear view of the Zhou family manor, an extensive array of surveince equipment has been installed, upying an entire wall. This includes thermal imaging from multiple vantage points. Additionally, over a dozen personnel are stationed here around the clock to maintain security.


    Atop the vi’s roof, several snipers remain on standby. Utilizing thermal imaging technology, they possess the capability to urately eliminate a mouse hidden in the grass from nearly a thousand meters away.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Since Zhou Liangyun took control of Sifang Baozhuang, the surveince operations havemenced. While they may not im to have the ability to prevent even a fly from escaping Zhou’s estate, they are confident that no warm-blooded mammal can slip away unnoticed.


    At this moment, a helicopter thundered into the vi’s courtyard. Once itnded smoothly, Steve, a man in his prime, along with his son Royce, stepped out.


    The scene’s leader was already present, and upon seeing Steve, he promptly approached and stated respectfully, “Greetings, young master. I am Hank Gilbert, but you can just call me Hank. I am fully prepared for your arrival. Should you require anything else, please don’t hesitate to let me know.”


    Hank is one of Howard’s most trusted associates. Previously, he was a top agent with the Department of Homnd Security. Although he carries out these difficult tasks for the Rothschild family on Howard’s orders, he understands that Howard summoned Steve here to im credit. If Steve seeds in this endeavor, he is likely to be the future head of the family, which is why Hank is exceedingly courteous towards him.


    Steve is also well aware of Hank’s allegiance to his father. By fostering a closer rtionship with him, Steve could significantly enhance his chances of future leadership. Thus, he responded politely, “Thank you for your efforts, Hank. I hope that Royce and I won’t cause you any inconvenience.”


    Hank quickly replied, “Not at all! You are here to guide us. We haven’t achieved anything during our time here, but with your presence, we might just find a breakthrough!”


    Steve was pleasantly surprised by Hank’s friendly demeanor, especially since he had expected a more hardened attitude from a man with Hank’s background. Feeling a bit ttered, he recognized the utility in this approach.


    With a smile, he remarked, “Hank, if we sessfully locate the Sifang Treasure Building here, you will undoubtedly be hailed as the number one hero of the Rothschild family!”


    Steve understood that, as the one here to reap the rewards, the first hero’s title would rightfully belong to him. However, he chose to praise Hank, indicating that he would not overlook his contributions.


    Hank responded with a smile, “If we do find the Sifang Baozhuang, it will surely be due to the wise leadership of the eldest young master!”


    Hank was fully aware that if they discovered the Sifang Baozhu, Howard would reward him handsomely. He was indifferent to the idea of being recognized for his contributions; after all, the Rothschild family is simply a family, and the focus is usually on the core members. The financial benefits woulde to him directly. The superficial acim could be reserved for Steve, who was likely to be his future master. Thus, both parties exchanged ttery, leaving them both quite pleased.


    Steve and his son were escorted by Hank to the third floor. As they gazed at the Zhou family manor from a distance, Steve queried Hank, “Has the entire interior of the manor been thoroughly searched?”


    Hank responded promptly, “We haven’t just searched; we’ve discreetly used detectors to scan the entire building and all surrounding areas, and so far, we haven’t uncovered anything.”
