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 the U.S. government and the Rothschild family through a video.
In the video, he not only furiously denounced the Rothschild family, but also made a harsh statement that he would go to war with them if anything happened to Gustavo.
On the internet, the voices criticizing and insulting the Rothschild family had reached an unprecedented new height.
The Rothschild family had remained silent because Harrison had become the number one target of attacks by netizens. Making a statement now would be like walking straight into the line of fire of the entire nation.
They would have to wait for the results of the investigation before making any plans.

Amidst the chaos between the Sanchez and Rothschild families, Brooklyn Prison was undergoing a major change.
The FBI had temporarily taken over Brooklyn Prison, which was now at the center of national attention. All prison guards and administrative staff had been suspended and were awaiting investigation.
Charlie nodded. "When you uploaded the video, it meant you had given up all your privileges in the prison. Only by doing so could you make your son and the Rothschilds wary of you and also ensure that the U.S. government pays more attention to your personal safety. Yes, the privileges are gone, but you're still alive and kicking. Isn't that the best thing?"
Gustavo pursed his lips and was rendered speechless.
Charlie was right. It was better to be alive than dead.
Then, he glanced at Charlie and asked, "What if they ask about what happened during the day? Do I tell them the truth about you?"
Charlie said casually, "It's almost dawn, and I'll leave soon. They shouldn't have so much time to investigate so quickly. Their investigation will have nothing to do with me, and I have nothing worth investigating. It wasn’t me who gave you the privileges, it wasn’t me who tried to kill you, and it wasn’t me who used you to control Mexico. I'm just an old friend of Moses's father. I put in some good words at the right time and saved your life, that's all."
