Charlie’s words left Steve befuddled.

Serious and composed, Charlie said, “Sir, Helena is the Queen of Northern Europe. Her visit to Canada is a significant political affair. Itineraries for such events are usually planned far in advance. Her original visit was scheduled for next Friday, which is nine days away. I can’t claim to have expedited it…”

Charlie stayed calm, “Your focus should be on answering my questions.”

Steve pondered, “My father wished for Royce to establish contact with Helena. This idea emerged some time ago. Days ago, he expressed his desire for Royce to represent the Rothschild family in meeting Helena, exploring a potential marriage. Initially, if Helena followed her earlier decision and came to Canada, he’d have asked Royce to hurry. However, with the current unexpected situation, I’m uncertain if his stance has changed.”

Charlie speculated, “I doubt it has. From his perspective, Helena’s trip is a separate matter from the Four Treasures of the Study. Her sudden change in plans and his immediate instruction for Royce to go to Canada simply means one less resource searching for the Four Treasures of the Study. It won’t increase the risk of the Treasures leaving the U.S. Why? Because…”

Adding to his point, Charlie continued, “Additionally, the Rothschild family faces immense public pressure due to ongoing scandals. With various internal and external exposés, there’s no chance of a turnaround for a while. Redirecting public attention could be a beneficial, harmless choice.”

Steve expressed helplessness, “Indeed, but we haven’t yet engaged with the Nordic royal family. We can’t influence when Helena arrives in Canada. If she sticks to the original schedule, and if you intend to accompany Royce to Canada opportunistically, we’ll have to wait several more days…”

Steve was eager for Charlie and the Four Treasures of the Study to leave the United States.

The Four Treasures of the Study were a ticking time bomb. As long as they remained in the U.S. and out of his control, they posed a constant threat.

Furthermore, Charlie held him hostage. His life remained at risk as long as Charlie stayed. Despite being sure that Charlie knew the whereabouts of the Four Treasures, Steve lacked the means to take from the lion’s mouth.

He hoped for Charlie’s swift departure with the Four Treasures from the U.S. Yet, reality contradicted his desires.

Steve desired Charlie’s departure, but the uncertain arrival of Helena presented a dilemma. He didn’t want Charlie stranded, holding him and his son hostage for the nine days while Helena was in Canada, a risky scenario.

Thus, with an embarrassed expression, he told Charlie, “Sir, don’t overlook the Nordic royal family’s assets and influence. Despite their assets being lesser than a mid-sized tech company, Helena wields significant political sway. Although young, she remains a country’s queen. Even in the U.S., the world’s highest GDP country, she’d still receive head of state treatment. It’s impossible for us to prompt the Northern European Queen to arrive abruptly. Waiting nine days poses a risk. We need to consider other solutions.”

Calming Steve down, Charlie assured him, “Don’t worry. I’ll arrange for Helena to come soon.”

Subconsciously, Steve asked, “Are you serious?”
