Plutocrats From the Gold Rush

"character!"

Zuko's pale answer echoed in the living room.

"Yeah, character..."

Phils looked at his son and sighed.

"The man who can do things, the man who works all miracles.

In addition to having enough capital opportunities and smart skills.

The most important thing is actually character.

In other words, it is his innate will and soul.

Innate, things change with time, some things learned, philosophy of life, behavior, attitude, and direction.

Not to mention, there are many such people by your side.

Among them are the great ones, and you often come into contact with them.

Jobs, Bill Gates, your sister Rafa, your nephew Al.

And Stan Xie, who you tried to win over, but ended up pushing people towards the enemy.

You know what, Joko.

I have been giving you opportunities and expecting you to grow and show that you are strong enough and you deserve to be.

For this reason, I'm giving you the chance to kick Al out of the house.

Let you preside over the affairs of the consortium and get close to that oriental boy.

But in the end, you let me down.

You're like a jumping clown, screwing everything up and pushing the family into the unknown.

Is all this because of your lack of wisdom?

Or is it because of your city government, or your thinking is wrong?

They don’t actually have any, but because of your choices, your choices and judgments about all these things, your arrogance, and finally become like this.

And if that's all, I wouldn't really be completely disappointed.

Because I understand that people will grow,

Including personality too.

However, my son.

Just now, you made me lose my last hope.

Because until now, even if you have paid so much, you have reached this point.

You don't even know it, and you haven't shown me the slightest change.

You are thirty years old, I don't know how long I can last.

As for the family and consortium, can they be handed over to such a person who is simply unable to helm the family? "

Turning his head, Phils' gaze pierced people's hearts, like a real falcon, surprisingly sharp.

"You know what? My son.

In fact, I am really giving you opportunities and hopes, waiting for you to show me your turning point.

I hope that even if you experience setbacks, you will be able to realize even a little bit in the end.

But, in you, I really don't see what I want.

On the contrary, I saw an extremely strong and incomparable aura and personality in that damned Oriental kid.

There is also constant change and growth.

I gave you a chance, my son.

You have been given too many opportunities.

However, I may be wrong.

For the family, for the future, for the consortium.

I can only choose Al.

There is only this heir who has his mother's intelligence and his father's personality.

To be able to suppress that oriental boy.

To maintain our relationship with him, to win and win in the end, to lead Sheffield.

Instead of being used and swallowed by him.

After my death, he can also guarantee the inheritance and order of the Sheffield family and the California consortium.

develop and grow.

My son, you have really let me down. "

"Father, father, no, no...

Give me a chance, I get it, I really get it, give me a chance..."

"..." Looking at his crying son, Fiers' eyes were even more disappointed.

It would be great if his son could not be like this at this time.

How good is he if he's the kind of guy with potential?

For example in the current situation.

At the very least, ensure your perseverance and strength.

Whether it's keeping silent, even fighting, or doing it conspiratorially, colluding with other families, and finally changing everything.

It is also better than crying and crying and begging for mercy and charity.

This is not awakening, but just understanding, and then helpless and lost.

Howling like a mourning dog.

That's the difference, that's the character and the factor that makes everyone different.

This is the factor and reason why some people can succeed.

When you complain about all kinds of unwillingness for various reasons.

People just remember the injustice, and then don't say a word, grit their teeth to become a member of the injustice, and work hard for themselves.

Instead of crying bitterly, like a wild dog that can only howl after being kicked.

And then you can lick your face, because of the food, to lick the person who kicked you.

This is the difference.

"……too late.

and……"

The voice was silent, and Phils didn't say anything at last, and turned and left indifferently.

He finally returned to his bedroom disappointed.

Rafa glanced at his younger brother, and finally said nothing, and didn't show any expression, just as if he was looking down at a creature from another world.

Glancing at the other party, he followed Phils.

At the same place, Zoko was already sitting in the living room, completely out of his wits.

...

"Father, you shouldn't have given him this chance.

Teach him this lesson and let him remember this feeling deeply, which will be detrimental to the future inheritance and stability of the family. "

The indifferent voice echoed in the bedroom.

"He's your brother!"

The cold, biting voice also came.

"And, are you still afraid of him? My daughter?!"

Voices full of sarcasm and anger echoed in the air.

"While I know it's ridiculous, I also know what it's all about.

But rest assured, my daughter, your purpose has been achieved.

I will also arrange everything, please rest assured.

Don't think that I don't know what you are doing behind this.

Without you colluding with those friends behind your back.

There will be no actions by Zuko, and there will be no departure of Stan, not to mention those idiots of the Murphys family.

So, leave a way out for your brother and Zuko.

You and your "friends" will get what you want. "

"..." Seeing Fers' indifferent and aged face, Rafa's face moved.

But in the end, he did not say anything, but kept silent.

It was not until a long time later that he opened his mouth to speak.

"What about Stan? How?"

"How?" Looking at the silent Rafa, Fiers had a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"My daughter, as I said, you are smart enough.

But remember, I never liked you.

Because you don't know from the beginning to the end that it is impossible to grow into a towering tree just by relying on conspiracy and scheming calculations and only calculating benefits.

But now, for your own benefit, you have released a towering tree from its shackles without permission.

Originally, this towering tree was the best ladder and ally that your father and I prepared for your son.

Even if Joko is in power and with his help, Al can have and control enough power.

But now, you've ruined it all yourself.

How could the dragon who had left the cage, and the tree that had been freed from the bondage, be willing to return to the cage.

You are so smart, my daughter, you have calculated everything, everyone's reaction.

But, you made the same mistake as that idiot Joko.

That's because he didn't see clearly, that damn oriental kid.

Under the hypocritical face, there is such a strong and terrifying heart hidden, as well as a heinous character and ability.

And this was never supposed to happen. "

"..."

"Right now, I can only hope that Al's growth and potential will be able to win him over by then, so that he will not completely give up the Sheffield family."
