After hearing the exchange between Charlie Wade and Steve, the An familyprising a father and son—found themselves momentarily at a loss for words.


    Eventually, An Qishan broke the silence, saying, “Charlie, the assets really aren’t the main concern. If they fail to perform, we can always sell them at a reduced price—consider it a one-time transaction. Steve is an arrogant and overbearing individual. If he gets irritated, it could lead to trouble for you down the line.”


    Charlie Wade shook his head in response. “Grandpa, Steve is in a position where he needs my assistance, but he can’t seem to adjust his attitude or understand his ce. He constantly tries to resist. The more stubborn he is, the more we must keep him in check, wear him down, and diminish his inted sense of pride before he can be straightforward with us.”


    He added, “This situation is really about refining him—a perfect opportunity.”


    An Qishan nodded in agreement. “Howard has sent people to dispose of the bodies of Chen Zhimin and Uncle Sean. I suspect they may draw the attention of the police in the future. Will this incident reflect poorly on you? And will the elixir you had the Queen of Northern Europe sell to Howard attract police scrutiny?”<fnb914> This content belongs to FιndNovel</fnb914><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie Wade replied, “I can’t say for sure about Chen Zhimin, but the Sifang Baozhu incident will undoubtedly catch Sara’s attention concerning the Rothschild family. However, I believe Sara won’t act impulsively. There’s a high likelihood she will deploy some ‘schrs’ to infiltrate the Rothschild family, just like she did with the An family.”


    He continued, “Currently, only Steve and his son are aware of my existence within the Rothschild family, and only Howard, Steve, and a few doctors know that Howard received the elixir and recovered. Howard will definitely keep this information under wraps. The public doesn’t even know he suffered a stroke, let alone about the pill.”


    At this point, Charlie Wade paused momentarily before adding, “Both my existence and the elixir are among the most sensitive secrets of the Rothschild family. For the Clearing Society to uncover this information, they will have to thoroughly investigate the Rothschild family, which will take time.”


    “That makes sense,” An Qishan acknowledged. “Chen Zhimin and Dong Liqin have been around your aunt and uncle for several years now, even discussing marriage. That’s when I allowed them to join the An family.”


    Charlie Wade took a moment to think before responding, “So, it’s unlikely that Poqing will learn of my existence anytime soon, which means I won’t have to remain hidden for long. In three years at most, I will diminish Poqing’s power by at least 70%! By then, Poqing will no longer pose a threat to me.”


    Charlie Wade understood that not only was his strength separated from Sara’s by the Niwan Pce, but also by centuries of Taoist teachings. Without a significant opportunity, he might not be able to defeat her for decades.


    From a pessimistic standpoint, he considered that he might still be no match for her even on the day she reaches the end of her 500-year life.


    However, Charlie Wade’s perspective on the matter had shifted.


    He realized that when it came to dealing with Sara, it was essential to adopt a holistic view and consider the broader picture, rather than merely fixating on the disparity in strength between them.


    Although Sara was incredibly powerful, she was still human, not a deity. The reason she had managed to stay distanced from the core of Poqing Hui for decades while simultaneously expanding its influence wasrgely due to the strength of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army.


    The Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion cultivated its own forces worldwide, continuously enhancing its overall might. It couldmand tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of loyal soldiers and knights—this was the true terror of the Qing Dynasty.


    Thus, Charlie Wade concluded that if he could dismantle more than three of the Five Army Governors’ Mansions associated with Poqing Hui and rescue those loyal soldiers and knights, Sara would lose her most crucial allies. If he could eliminate these soldiers and knights and properly integrate their strengths, he might one day be able to eradicate all external forces threatening him outside Poqing Hui’s stronghold.


    If that day ever arrives, Sara would have no choice but to hide away on some uncharted ind in Antarctica, never to rise again in this lifetime!
