Charlie’s words sent a jolt through Steve, catching him off guard.

It made sense if he pondered it. The one who snags the Four Treasures of the Study first would be the prime successor. He urgently aimed to reclaim those ancient artifacts before someone else swooped in and swiped his chances.

But what if no one could regain control of the Four Treasures of the Study? Even if he blocked others’ advancements, wouldn’t he still be the leading heir?

The difference, of course, would be that although he retained his position as the prime heir, the Sifang Mansion would no longer belong to the Rothschild family.

Choices were scarce for Steve now.

His life rested in someone else’s hands, and he felt fortunate just to be alive.

Subconsciously, he queried Charlie, “Sir, can you ensure that the Sifang Mansion won’t slip into anyone else’s grasp within the Rothschild family?”

Charlie furrowed his brow slightly, questioning coldly, “You’re asking for guarantees quite liberally, aren’t you? What makes you think you have the right to ask for such assurances?”

Quickly, Steve apologized, “I’m terribly sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. Please don’t misinterpret my words…”

Charlie pressed on aggressively, “Then, what did you mean?”

Wiping sweat from his forehead, Steve hesitated before saying, “I… I just want to know… what are your plans for the Four Treasures of the Study…”

Charlie glanced at him calmly and stated, “You obtained the Four Treasures of the Study from China, so my task is to return them to their rightful owner, Zhao, and back to China.”

Looking directly at Steve, Charlie assured, “So, don’t fret too much. Once the Four Treasures return to China, they’ll be safeguarded. China won’t permit this national treasure to leave its borders again.”

Steve’s relief was palpable. A faint smile crept onto his lips, and he couldn’t help but rub his hands together in contentment, murmuring, “Fantastic, absolutely fantastic…”
