Steve shook his head and asked cautiously, “Does he truly love his granddaughter?”


    charlie Wade waved his hand dismissively. “Doesn’t your father love you as his eldest son? Just because he doesn’t pass the throne to you doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. He provides you with limitless wealth, the finest living conditions, and a solid material foundation. Isn’t that a testament to his love for you?”


    Noticing something unusual, Steve quickly responded, “Mr. Wade, could you help rify my confusion?”<fne484> The rightful source is F?nd-Novel</fne484>


    charlie Wade exined, “Mr. Fei’s decision to pass the throne to Fei Kexin is based on my condition for granting him a longer life: he must relinquish the throne to his granddaughter. No matter how much he offers me, I will not give him the elixir.”


    Turning to Steve, charlie Wade added earnestly, “If one day you prove to be more dependable, I would consider linking your father’s chance at longevity to you. Just think about it: if you were the only one who could provide him with the elixir, and you asked him to make you the n leader, would he say no?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Steve’s eyes brightened as he replied, “If he had to choose between power and life, he would certainly want both. But if he could only have one, he’d definitely choose life.”


    Excitedly, he continued, “Mr. Wade, how can you help me achieve my goal?”


    charlie Wade smiled and responded, “Steve, a strong friendship is built over time, and there’s no need to fear that. If I can help you live a long life, even if you inherit the throne at sixty, you will still have the vitality of someone in their forties. Imagine if I could let you live to one hundred and twenty; you’d be in your prime when you take the throne at sixty.”


    Steve hadplete faith in charlie Wade’s words. The elixir was indeed miraculous, and reaching one hundred and twenty years old seemed entirely feasible.


    He realized that if charlie Wade’s ims were true, he must do everything possible to secure his assistance. Otherwise, if his father lived to be one hundred and twenty, Steve’s chances of advancement would be lost forever.


    With this in mind, he dered without hesitation, “Mr. Wade, once I return and resume my life, I will approach my father. From now on, I will take charge of the family’s business in the Asia-Pacific region. I n to boost our investments in Aurous Hill and coborate with you to develop it into a thriving hub. Aurous Hill will be my second hometown—Steve Rothschild at your service!”


    charlie Wade nodded in agreement, smiling, “I would be more than happy to wee your investment and development efforts in Aurous Hill.”


    Steve replied eagerly, “That’s settled! Get ready for my great news when I visit Aurous Hill next time. It will surely break records for the highest foreign investment in the city’s history!”
