Steve was taken aback by the disheveled old man standing before him,plete with a scraggly beard and graying hair.


    Upon hearing the man recognize him as a member of the Rothschild family, Steve instinctively inquired, “Do you know me?”


    The old man’s father, visibly distressed, eximed, “Yes! I certainly know you! You are the patriarch, Howard Rothschild. Your eldest son is named Steve Rothschild. I… I am your distant rtive, Steve Hogwitz, and I lead the Hogwitz family, just like you. My name is also Steve… please… I beg you to help me and my son!”


    Steve’s gaze shifted from the tearful man before him to the pained figure struggling on the hospital bed. The sight of the ailing man attempting to sit up sent a chill down his spine!


    Although he hade to locate the father and son, he never anticipated finding them on his very first day in Aurous Hill!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    What astonished him even more was the realization that the father and son were actually in Charlie Wade’s custody, and they were being subjected to such cruel treatment…


    He quickly turned to Charlie Wade and asked, “Mr. Wade… what… is happening here?!”


    Charlie Wade responded with curiosity, “What’s going on? What do you want to know?”


    Steve hurriedly replied, “Why are these two here? They are the very people I came to Aurous Hill to find!”


    Charlie Wade smiled and said, “Oh, I see. So you’re rtives. Jiro, please open the door and let them have a family reunion.”


    Kobayashi Jiro immediatelyplied, saying, “Certainly, Mr. Wade. I’ll unlock the door right away.”


    He then pulled out a set of keys, selected one, and opened the heavy iron door.


    Walter’s elderly father, upon seeing the door swing open, knelt before Steve without hesitation. He cried out, “Sir! In terms of our blood rtions, I can be considered your distant cousin. I implore you, for the sake of family ties, please take my son and me back to the United States. If you leave us here, we will surely perish!”


    Turning to Charlie Wade, Steve quickly stated, “Mr. Wade… these two are the individuals I’ve been searching for…”


    Charlie Wade shrugged and replied coldly, “Congrattions, you’ve located them. Your mission to Aurous Hill has been aplished. It’s said that your goals have been met, so tonight at Tianxiang Mansion, Don Albert will host a celebration in your honor.”


    Steve, desperate, pleaded, “Mr. Wade, these two are rtives of our Rothschild family. I came here specifically to find them and bring them back. I hope you can find it in your heart to let them go with me.”<fnbd1b> Official source is find?novel</fnbd1b>


    Charlie smiled and responded, “Steve, have you considered why they were taken in the first ce? I’ve imprisoned them here, and they have the audacity to ask to be freed. What makes you so certain that I, Charlie Wade, wouldn’t dare to let them go?”


    Noticing a hint of anger in Charlie Wade’s demeanor, Steve quickly rified, “Mr. Wade, I didn’t intend any offense. I was simply overwhelmed with the urge to rescue them and didn’t fully grasp the situation. Could you enlighten me on what mistake they made to end up in your custody?”


    Charlie Wade regarded the man kneeling on the floor and pointed to Steve Rothschild beside him. He said calmly, “Now, you both share the same name. Why don’t you tell this Steve what kind of trouble you and your son have gotten into?”


    As he spoke, Charlie’s voice turned icy as he warned, “You better disclose everything you’ve done; otherwise, I’ll make you consume a month’s worth of dog food.”
