“Are you searching for someone?” After listening to Steve’s exnation, Charlie raised his eyebrows, a yful half-smile on his face. “Who are you on the lookout for? Do you need a wealthy and influential prince like yourself to travel all the way to China? Or is the young master of your Rothschild family lost somewhere out there?”


    Steve chuckled and replied, “Mr. Wade, you’re joking. The Rothschild family ces great importance on bloodlines above all else. There’s no such thing as a lost young master in our family—bloodline is everything.” He then lowered his voice, speaking earnestly, “Mr. Wade, you might have heard that when the President of the United States goes out, even a single hair or a drop of saliva must be ounted for by special personnel. The same principle applies to our Rothschild family. We must keep track of where our male lineage has been and with whom. Any remnants left behind must also be ounted for. Anyone who dares to father an illegitimate child risks bing the family’s public enemy. If such a thing is discovered, they will never regain their standing.”


    Don Albert, who was listening intently, interjected with surprise, “Really? Isn’t that a bit over the top?”


    Steve replied with a serious tone, “It’s not over-exaggerated at all. Men from the Rothschild family, especially direct members, face the possibility of paying tens of billions of dors if they leave behind a child. If such a situation were to be tolerated, there would be countless women worldwide trying to have a child for the Rothschild family. For them, it would be a golden opportunity for life. That’s why our family is particrly vignt about this. Anyone who steps out of line will be shown the door.”


    Charlie understood the significance that such a powerful family ced on bloodlines, especially concerning the inheritance of vast assets. Naturally, they had to be exceedingly careful. So, he feigned curiosity and asked, “If you’re not searching for an illegitimate child, who else could possibly warrant such personal attention from you?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With a soft sigh, Steve continued, “To be honest, Mr. Wade, our family has a long history, and we have more coteral branches than most. Among these rtives is a coteral family named Hogwitz, which isn’t very close to us and is considered somewhat ordinary.”


    “A couple of days ago, my father convened a family meeting attended by all the heads of the coteral families. The old man likely wanted to use the opportunity to strengthen ties, so he encouraged everyone to speak freely. As a result, a representative from the Hogwitz family publiclyined to my father about two missing members of their family fromst year in Aurous Hill.”<fnc126> This text is hosted at find?novel</fnc126>


    Steve expressed his frustration, saying, “As the eldest son and my father’s confirmed heir to the n leadership, I was tasked withing here personally to uncover the details.”


    “Oh…” Charlie responded, nodding slowly as if he suddenly grasped the situation. “Since they disappearedst year, it’s difficult to ascertain whether they are alive or dead!”


    Steve shrugged, “Honestly, I’m not too concerned about their fate. The old man just wants to see them—alive or dead.”


    Charlie pressed on, “So if these two are found to have been killed, would you seek revenge for them?”
