Chapter 2974

The doctor's words made Howard begin to re-examine the matter of the Four-Directional Treasure Tower.

Admittedly, he did suffer heavy losses for the Four-Directional Treasure Tower, and even risked his own health, but at the moment, if he still holds on to it, objectively speaking, it will only expand the losses, and there is absolutely no chance to make up for the losses.

Therefore, the most reasonable thing at the moment is to stop the loss in time. All the previous investments, if they are gone, they are gone. He must admit it, accept it, and accept it in his heart. As long as he can keep from expanding the losses from today, it is the best solution under the current situation.

After all, he is the manager of a top family and a capital master who is well-versed in investment. Howard realized that the matter could not be done, so his psychology immediately firmed up the concept of stopping the loss in time.

So, he called his fourth son, David, and instructed: "Say hello to all departments, end all blockades on New York, and from now on, no one is allowed to mention the Four-Directional Treasure Tower again."

"Okay, father." David nodded and hurriedly notified them.

The comprehensive sea, land, and air blockade on New York, which previously relied on various US departments, was all lifted after David's phone call.

This also meant that the Rothschild family had completely abandoned the Four-Directional Treasure Tower.

Two hours later, Steve took his son Royce and flew back to the Rothschild Manor, dusty and tired.

As soon as the father and son got off the helicopter, they hurried to the special care ward of the medical center to visit their old man.

At this time, the core members of the Rothschild family in New York had basically all rushed back, and the others were already on their way back to New York from all over the world.

They were guarding the living room outside the ward, one by one sitting on the sofa, standing by the window, or pacing back and forth, but no one spoke.

They have different powers in the Rothschild family and are responsible for different fields, but at the moment, their moods are all equally frustrated.

As Steve's sons and grandsons, none of them wanted Steve's health to have any major changes.

This is not because they are filial, but because they know that once the old man has health problems, power will inevitably fall into the hands of the eldest brother who is the heir. When your own father is the emperor, you can sleep soundly, but when your own brother is the emperor, you really can't sleep soundly.

Just then, Steve walked in hurriedly with Royce.

Seeing the father and son arrive, everyone hurriedly gathered around, looking at him respectfully, looking like they were waiting for the eldest brother to preside over the overall situation.

Some, like David, even stepped forward to hold Steve's hand and choked up: "Eldest brother, you are finally here! Everyone is waiting for you to make a decision. If you don't come, we don't have a backbone..."

Others cursed David in their hearts.

Damn, everyone wants to be a dog wagging its tail, why are you the first to stick out your tongue and lick?

So, everyone had to hurriedly echo in a few words: "Yes, eldest brother, we are all waiting for you!"

In fact, these people misunderstood David.

David didn't take the initiative to lick Steve, the eldest brother. He studied "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" some time ago and studied some works on ancient Chinese power strategy. He deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to praise Steve to death, first trying his best to praise him and let him float. The higher he floats, the easier it is to make mistakes.

After all, the old man is not dead yet and holds the power. If the eldest brother Steve makes a mistake because he is praised by everyone at this time, he might be sent to the cold palace by the old man.

In fact, David didn't want to compete for the heir's position. He just felt that the old man continuing to be in power was the best situation for sons like them who were not heirs, much better than any brother succeeding to the throne.

Seeing so many younger brothers surrounding him like stars holding the moon, Steve naturally felt extra useful.

For the past few decades, everyone has been brothers, and there has never been a class gap between them. Now that he is finally about to take that crucial step, these people will no longer be his brothers, but his ministers.

However, when Steve came, he had just been warned by Ye Chen, and the corners of his mouth that couldn't be suppressed were suppressed, and his impetuous and excited heart had calmed down a lot. So when he was complimented by everyone at this time, although he felt useful, he was always frowning, with a face full of anxiety and sadness.

Immediately, he shook his head with a painful expression and said: "You idiots must remember, no matter at any time, father is the only leader of the Rothschild family, the backbone of all of us, and the hope of the entire Rothschild family."

Everyone who was hypocritically complimenting Steve was stunned at this moment.

The first thought that came to everyone's mind was, oh my god?

At this moment, Steve was no longer the Steve they were familiar with. The current Steve had a city mansion that was truly scary. He could say such words at the first time. Is he still a human?

At this time, Steve asked very anxiously: "Who can tell me, what is the situation with father now? What did the medical team say? Can I go in to visit the old man?"

With a series of questions, Steve asked quickly, loudly, and emotionally. To the ears of other brothers, it was like the British soldiers in World War I hearing the crazy roar of the German Maxim heavy machine guns at nearly a thousand rounds per minute.

David was the most panicked. He really didn't expect that everyone would praise Steve together, and Steve would not eat this set at all.

Not only did he not eat this set, but he also suddenly made a counter-kill.

This rapid-fire of his Maxim, as long as it is heard by the old man, in the old man's view, it is that he and other brothers ignored the old man on the sickbed, but instead scrambled to curry favor with the eldest brother Steve at the first time.

Isn't this equivalent to stealing a chicken but losing the rice?

Just when David didn't know how to deal with it, the door of the special care ward inside suddenly opened, and a doctor walked out and said: "Mr. Steve Rothschild, your father wants to see you!"

Hearing this, Steve was even more excited, thinking: "Great, it seems that the old man heard what I just said!"

And David had a frustrated face. If he had known this would be the result, he would not have praised this eldest brother even if he were beaten to death.

Soon, Steve stepped into the ward and saw his father on the hospital bed, who already looked a bit like Hawking.

Howard had heard the movement outside on the hospital bed just now, and he was very satisfied with Steve's performance.

In this world, almost all heads of top families have the same contradictory and complex mentality when facing the heir they have chosen.

On one hand, they really want to pass the position of family head to him in the future, but on the other hand, they don't want him to succeed to the throne too early, wanting to drag it to the end as much as possible.

Moreover, they don't want him to show any excitement or expectation about inheriting the position of family head, and even less do they want him to have any behavior of overstepping before inheriting the position of family head.

If Steve had dared to follow the compliments of his younger brothers just now and said even a word of polite remarks, Howard would surely be furious and full of anger and dissatisfaction with him.

Fortunately, Steve's performance exceeded his expectations. In his view, it could be called perfect.

Steve had an expert pointing him behind his back, so when he entered the ward and saw Howard on the hospital bed, his expression was extra sad.

With tears in his eyes, he walked quickly to the hospital bed in two or three steps, knelt on one knee in front of the hospital bed, looked at his father, and asked painfully: "Father, how do you feel? I was worried all the way when I came..."

Howard was extremely moved and stammered: "I... I'm not bad, good son, you don't have to worry..."

After saying that, Howard sighed and said with emotion: "The doctor said... said I have hemiplegia... in the... in the future, it may... may be very difficult... very difficult to fully recover..."

Hearing this, Steve was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was devastated. He turned around, looked at the doctor, and asked loudly: "Do you have any way to make my father recover as before?!"

The doctor hurriedly explained: "Eldest young master, in the case of a stroke, no one in the world can recover as before. Not to mention that the gentleman is already over eighty years old, even a twenty-year-old football player cannot fully recover as before after an injury..."

Steve said loudly: "I don't care what method you use, you must help my father recover as much as possible. Our Rothschild family cannot do without the old man's leadership!"

Hearing these words, Howard felt extremely comfortable in his heart, as if someone had stuffed a hot water bottle into his arms while walking against the wind in the wind and snow in the twelfth lunar month.

So, he said to Steve: "Steve, don't... don't make things difficult... don't make things difficult for the doctor... I... I this time... may... may really have to... have to..."

Hearing this, Steve didn't wait for his father to say the following, and hurriedly held his hand, his eyes red: "Father, don't worry, you will definitely live a long life! I will invite stroke experts from all over the world to New York to consult for you. One day, you will be able to regain your past style!"

Howard smiled tremblingly and nodded gently.

Afterwards, he sighed and continued: "I... I plan... plan to retire... Steve... in the future... in the future, the future of the Rothschild... Rothschild family... will... will all be handed... handed over to you to be responsible for!"

Steve was overjoyed in his heart. Just as the corners of his mouth were about to be uncontrollable, he immediately thought of Ye Chen's earnest teachings and hurriedly lowered his head so that Howard could not see his expression, and said with grief and indignation: "Father... I am not ready yet, and the Rothschild family cannot lose your leadership immediately. You should focus on recuperating and rehabilitation, and let's talk about everything after you recover!"

Howard shook his head: "I... I don't want to let... let outsiders see my current... current appearance, so... you... you come to take over my shift, lead the Rothschild... Rothschild family to continue... continue to move forward..."

As he spoke, Howard added: "I... I have made up my mind... you... you don't... don't need to persuade me anymore..."

Steve hadn't acted enough and continued: "Father, then let's wait until you recover! I won't do anything during this time, I will stay in New York, by your side, and focus on accompanying you for rehabilitation training!"

Howard said gratifiedly: "You... you can have... can have this heart... I... I am very... very gratified... this... let's do this... you go back... go back and prepare, others may still... still be on the way back... wait... wait until tomorrow, I want to hold... hold a family meeting... meeting... by then... I will announce... announce my decision to everyone..."
