To Charlie, Gustavo had lost his value after he had successfully approached Bruce. A Mexican drug lord who had lost his power and was imprisoned by the Americans on top of having a son who wanted to be killed had no practical value. He would be useless unless Charlie got him out of jail and brought him back to Mexico to help him regain control of the Sanchez family, but that was even less cost-effective for Charlie. Firstly, Gustavo was a notorious drug dealer whom Charlie did not want to get involved with, especially in terms of interests. Secondly, Gustavo had been extradited from Mexico by the U.S. government at a great expense. It was a great achievement of the government in eradicating drugs. They had to make sure that Gustavo stayed in prison for the sake of their reputation. Once he escaped from prison, it would be a great shame to the US justice system. At that time, the US government would be even more desperate to catch him. Hence, even if Gustavo returned to Mexico
Meanwhile, the online video conference of the Rothschild family had finally ended. The FBI-led investigation team rushed to Brooklyn Prison and found the secret passage shown in the video in the warden's office. The secret passage was found, and Raymond, who had been imprisoned in the underground compartment and had suffered inhumane torture and forced confession, was discovered and rescued. Although Raymond was a convicted criminal who had committed theft, for humanitarian reasons, the FBI immediately sent him to Manhattan Hospital without questioning him first after discovering him. They must first let the doctors conduct a detailed physical examination on Raymond and then determine whether Raymond was fit enough to continue serving his sentence. Besides, because he was a victim of the scandal, to ensure that he did not sue the Justice Department, the representatives from the Justice Department would meet with him behind closed doors after his examination. At that time, they
At this moment, another video was uploaded to major online platforms. The protagonist of the video was Gustavo, the heinous convicted drug lord. The American government had put a lot of effort into publicizing Gustavo's extradition to the United States for trial. As a result, almost every American knew about Gustavo's deeds. He was indeed one of the most infamous prisoners in the country. By all accounts, Gustavo had been sentenced to life without parole. It meant that he would be incarcerated in the US prison for life until he died of illness or old age. Tonight, to everyone's surprise, they suddenly saw Gustavo's selfie video on the internet. The audience came to two conclusions while watching Gustavo, who was supposed to be serving his sentence, on the screen. One was that he could use a cell phone in prison, and the other was that he could go online. This intrigued the American netizens. Furthermore, the content of Gustavo's video was even more explosive. At the beg
At this point in the video, Gustavo recalled that he was almost killed by Hector's assassins, but now, he had to remind Hector and the family members about unity and loyalty. He was full of grief and anger. If it had been up to him, he would have told his family that Hector was the one who had tried to kill him and asked them to avenge him or at least take him down from the position of head of the family. On second thought, he realized that Charlie's plan was the wisest and most efficient. Hector was now in power. Had Gustavo tried to expose Hector and force Hector's men to rebel, Hector would have ditched his hypocrisy and declared himself the true patriarch of the family. Even if the members of the Sanchez family were dissatisfied with Hector, they had no power to challenge his position as head of the family. Furthermore, the interests of the family were no longer tied to Gustavo, but to Hector. For the sake of their own interests, the other family members would not stand up
These few days, Harrison had tried his best to handle the crisis rather flawlessly. Thanks to his think tank and only by pushing Malcolm out as the family's scapegoat did he barely manage to avoid getting himself covered in filth. Just as he was relieved because of his luck, Gustavo had come out of nowhere and dragged him to hell, delivering a fatal blow to Harrison. In an instant, condemnation of Harrison flooded various social media platforms. It was beyond the Rothschild family members' imagination that Gustavo would come out and denounce them, and they panicked. It was against all the rules to make a deal with drug traffickers, to give these people prison privileges, and to receive benefits in Mexico through drug traffickers. It would have been rather acceptable had this happened in the 19th century during the Opium War. After all, everybody was a drug dealer, including the nobility and royal families. It was no big deal for the Rothschild family to be involved with drug
Meanwhile, in Jalisco, Mexico, where the headquarters of the Sanchez family was located, famous for its tequila. A mansion was an understatement when it came to describing the family's residence. They owned more than hundreds of square miles of land, and on this fertile land, they planted a large number of valuable blue agave plants and built several extremely luxurious mansions. Unlike those billion-dollar entrepreneurs on the Forbes list, the Sanchez family's net worth of several hundred billion dollars was almost entirely genuine. The net worth of entrepreneurs was often based on valuations and illiquid shares. For example, if their listed company was valued at $100 billion and the entrepreneur owned 51% of the shares, theoretically, they were worth $50 billion. However, these shares could not be sold off easily. A portion could be pledged at most, yet the money obtained from pledging shares could not be spent freely. If the business or market conditions deteriorated and the c
"What did you say?! What has happened to him? Is it bad?!" Hector, who was hoping for Gustavo's death, was so excited to hear the remarks that he sounded a little excited when he spoke. On the other end of the line, Ricardo asked skeptically, "Hector, do you not hear me clearly? Why do you sound so happy?" Hector came to his senses and realized that he had gone a little overboard. He quickly composed himself, cleared his throat, and began, "Sorry, I'm still a little fuzzy from my sleep. I dreamed that my dad was released, and I was happy about it..." Then, he hastily asked, "By the way, you said something about Dad. What's going on?" "I sent you a video." Ricardo urged, "Watch it." Hector immediately ended the call and clicked on the video. As he watched the video, he was so horrified about Gustavo being alive that he almost peed himself. He had assumed that Moses had not found a perfect chance to kill Gustavo, but as it turned out, Moses had attempted the murder and fai
Hector pondered for a moment and muttered, "So, what you mean is that I can't kill my old man." "Yes." Jose explained, "Actually, whether or not you kill him is no longer important. Him staying alive is good for everyone. If he dies, you will lose face, the Rothschild family will lose credibility, and the U.S. government will become the target of criticism. As long as everyone remains calm, the public will gradually forget this matter. However, if he's dead, the other two parties will do everything they can to clear their names, putting us in a more passive position." Hector heaved a long sigh, gritted his teeth, and snarled, "Alright. I guess this is the only way for now. I hope the Americans don't release him and don't use him to threaten me." "The Rothschild family is in deep shit now. Even Harrison has to keep his tail between his legs, so it's unlikely that they'll stir up any more trouble over the next few days." Soon, Hector, on behalf of the Sanchez family, protested to
