SWNOVELS Chapter 5593
In the midst of the video, Gustavo reflected on his narrow escape from his son’s attempt on his life. Still, he felt compelled to
counsel his son and other family members in the video about unity, simmering with both sorrow and rage within.
Initially, his impulse was to openly divulge that it was his own son conspiring against him, urging the Sanchez family to seek
retribution and even consider removing his son from the family leadership position. However, upon careful consideration, he
grasped the suitability of Charlie’s plan.
His son held considerable power now. Revealing the truth and inciting rebellion within the family would unmask his son as a
patricide, completely shattering his facade of deceit and unveiling his true nature to the world. Even if other members were
disgruntled, they lacked the might to challenge his son’s dominion. Moreover, the family’s interests now gravitated around his
son, making it improbable for other members to speak up for Gustavo.
Hence, the most practical course was to heed Charlie’s counsel, maintaining a façade with his son. So long as his son’s dignity
remained unscathed, providing him an exit, he would refrain from breaking ties and becoming a patricidal figure. Yet, being a
loving father and offering room for his son tormented Gustavo deeply.
Focusing his fury on the Rothschild family, he grinned in the video, declaring, “I want the world to remember, Howard Rothschild
is the ultimate hypocrite! He orchestrated every grim event in Brooklyn Prison! When I was incarcerated, attempts were made on
my life, even the demise of that antique dealer, Peter Cole, trapped in an underground chamber, every bit was at the whim of that
scoundrel, Howard! Now that the truth’s out, he’s using his grandson as a shield. One word for such a person, curse him! All who
betray trust deserve damnation, damnation!”
During this segment of the video, Gustavo’s visage portrayed pure malevolence, gesturing with his right hand mimicking a pistol,
relishing the idea of executing Howard. Subsequently, he regained composure and ended the recording.
The authenticity of Gustavo’s video was beyond doubt for everyone who watched it.
Gustavo resided in Brooklyn Prison, a place that had just been revealed to be covertly controlled by the Rothschild family.
The Rothschilds had pinned all blame regarding Brooklyn Prison on Matt not long ago. Initially, many believed Howard’s
narrative, but Gustavo’s personal declaration swiftly contradicted that narrative. Even a powerful drug lord like Gustavo standing
against Howard convinced everyone that Howard was the mastermind behind these events.
Howard, striving to remain as distant as possible from any controversy, was suddenly thrust into it by Gustavo, delivering a
definitive blow.
Instantly, disparagement against Howard flooded the internet.
The Rothschild family never anticipated Gustavo would betray them, leaving them momentarily frantic.
Making deals with drug dealers, offering prison perks, and exploiting them for benefits in Mexico was inconceivable.
In the semi-civilized 19th century during the Opium War, it might have been overlooked. However, in today’s 21st-century
modern society, it’s an abhorrent deed. The Rothschilds reputation plummeted instantly.
Angrily rising from his bed, Howard glared at his eldest son, demanding, “Who plotted to kill Gustavo? When did I order his
demise?”
The eldest son awkwardly replied, “Father, we had an agreement with Gustavo. Why would we want him dead? There’s either a
misunderstanding or Gustavo fabricated it.”
Howard pressed, “Gustavo had an agreement with us long ago. Why would he fabricate this and implicate us now? And what
baffles me is, despite enjoying considerable favor in Brooklyn Prison, only we can provide such treatment. Now, by stepping
forward, he’s exposing us. Won’t he lose all these privileges once the US government investigates?”
Puzzled, the eldest son admitted, “I can’t fathom why this is happening. It’s illogical, it serves him no benefit to stand against us
now.”
The eldest son inquired hastily, “Father, who do you think would want to kill Gustavo? Why now? Gustavo is no longer the same
man he used to be. Regardless of the privileges he enjoys, he’s still a prisoner of the US government. Killing him at this point
would not only anger the Sanchez family but also provoke the US government. What’s the purpose?”
Howard responded with a cold tone, “Go and investigate this matter. I want to uncover the whole story.”

Meanwhile, in Jalisco, Mexico.
The headquarters of the Sanchez family was nestled in this region renowned for its agave cultivation.
The mansion that housed the Sanchez family could no longer be described as a mere estate. They owned hundreds of square
miles of fertile land, adorned with valuable agave crops and multiple opulent mansions, a super estate.
Unlike those billionaires on the Forbes list whose wealth is often tied up in valuations and shares that can’t be readily converted
into cash, the Sanchez family’s billions were tangible.
Entrepreneurs’ wealth often hinges on company valuations and shares that can’t be liquidated easily. For instance, if an
entrepreneur’s publicly traded company boasts a $100 billion market cap, and they own
51% of the shares, their theoretical worth stands at $50 billion. However, these shares can’t be offloaded freely, with only a
portion available for pledge. Moreover, funds acquired through pledged shares come with restrictions, and if the company’s
fortunes plummet, they must repay the pledged amount.
The same did not apply to the Sanchez family. Their wealth consisted of hard cash from drug trafficking in the United States and
worldwide, allowing them unrestricted spending.
At the heart of the Sanchez family compound lay a grandiose architectural complex resembling an ancient castle, the residence
of the core Sanchez family members. Gustavo’s son, Héctor Sanchez, resided there.
Since assuming control of the drug empire, he had conducted daily helicopter inspections of the Sanchez family’s territory. Each
inspection reaffirmed his commitment to expanding the empire.
However, the Sanchez family now operated under the Rothschild family’s influence, all because his father, Gustavo Sanchez,
was in their custody.
His father’s captivity rendered Hector exceedingly powerless. Whenever he contemplated severing ties with the Rothschild
family, those around him reminded him that his father, Gustavo, remained under their control. Consequently, he had to maintain a
friendly relationship with the Rothschild family and exercise caution.
Héctor had devised numerous brilliant and strategic plans, but they were consistently thwarted by the Rothschild family. Each
time he contemplated breaking free from their influence, Gustavo was always the Rothschilds’ leverage, exploiting his
vulnerability.
This convinced him that the Rothschild family was the main obstacle impeding the Sanchez family’s continued growth and
success.
To fully rid themselves of Rothschild control, Héctor devised a plan to arrange for his father’s murder in prison, thereby severing
Rothschild’s grip on him. Even as Héctor lay asleep at this moment, in his dreams, he yearned for Joseph to expedite his father’s
demise and eliminate all future complications.
However, at that very moment, his uncle, Ricardo Sanchez, Gustavo’s younger brother, unexpectedly called him. As the call
connected, his uncle impatiently declared, “Hey, Héctor, check the news. Something has happened to your father!”
