Bernie was not angry because Ye Xunhuan suddenly reached out to shake his hand; his face always maintained a faint smile!

"Mr. Ye, you're overthinking. How could our Rothschild family be plotting anything!" Bernie said warmly, "Moreover, with your status, are you really worried about what our Rothschild family might do?"

Although Bernie did not directly state Ye Xunhuan's identity in the underground world, this sentence clearly pointed out that Ye Xunhuan was indeed the Marshal.

"Moreover, so many wealthy people are present globally, our Rothschild family certainly has no ability to offend them all!"

Bernie's words were indeed reasonable. Although the Rothschild family is very powerful, they absolutely wouldn't dare to confront all these wealthy people here. If these people were to unite, it would be terrifying. Not even two Rothschild families would be enough to handle it.

Moreover, Jeremiah is here right now!

What Bernie said was reasonable, but Ye Xunhuan sneered at this, as he wouldn't believe Bernie's nonsense!

The next moment, Ye Xunhuan's body leaned forward slightly, sticking close to Bernie's ear, speaking in a tone only the two of them could hear, "Your Rothschild family better not have any sinister plans, or I don't mind shrinking your strength!"

Ye Xunhuan didn't mention extinguishing the Rothschild family, not because he didn't want to, but because he knew he might not be able to achieve it.

A family with a two-hundred-year legacy, surviving even the two World Wars, its foundation is unimaginable. Extinguishing them is too difficult, but making their strength shrink, Ye Xunhuan could still achieve.

"I believe the Wittgenstein family would be very interested in swallowing you up!"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Bernie's smile instantly froze, and his expression became somewhat stiff.

But it was only for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal!

Then, Ye Xunhuan stood straight, wearing a broad smile, "How is Horatio's health?"

After hearing the name Horatio, Bernie's heart slightly trembled, but he maintained a calm expression and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ye. Our Clan Leader is doing well!"

Indeed, Horatio is the Clan Leader of the Wittgenstein family.

"It's been a long time since I've seen him. I'll find a time to chat with him!"

"If Mr. Ye is coming, the Rothschild family will certainly extend a warm welcome!" Bernie said with evident politeness.

After chatting with Ye Xunhuan for a few moments, Bernie found an excuse to leave.

It's not that Bernie wanted to leave, but standing with Ye Xunhuan, even if Ye Xunhuan appeared good-natured, always brought an invisible pressure that made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Especially Ye Xunhuan's seemingly gentle eyes, which actually felt like sharp knives, effortlessly penetrating into someone's true inner thoughts, making Bernie unwilling to continue staying here.

He worried that Ye Xunhuan might see through him.

Bernie left, but Ye Xunhuan didn't mind, as many people here were either his or survived under Ye Xunhuan's kingdom's protection.

Even if Bernie had some little plans, he might not dare to act here.

Just after Bernie left, Jeremiah approached.

"Your Majesty..." Jeremiah greeted Ye Xunhuan with great respect and courtesy.

"No need to be so formal, just call me by my name. Of course, if you're not used to it, you can call me Mr. Ye or Young Master Ye; both are fine!" Ye Xunhuan said with a laugh.

With that, Ye Xunhuan reached out and lightly patted Jeremiah's shoulder, "It seems you're in good shape, just like before, you appear very robust!"

"I owe it all to you. Without you, I'd have already turned into a pile of yellow earth!" Jeremiah said, full of mixed feelings, with a hint of nostalgia on his face.

At this moment, Jeremiah's thoughts seemed to be drawn into a distant memory.

It was a place filled with endless sands, and also a country engulfed in incessant warfare.

Jeremiah was being hunted, completely driven to desperation, with no way out.

At that time, he was deeply entrenched in despair, with an unprecedented sense of unwillingness filling his heart.

He thought he was going to die, to perish with regret, but at the moment he decided to give up, Ye Xunhuan descended from the sky, slaughtering all those pursuing him.

At that moment, Ye Xunhuan was like a majestic god, only to be gazed from afar, not to be desecrated.

At that very moment, Jeremiah was filled with gratitude towards Ye Xunhuan, forging a bond with him. However, Ye Xunhuan did not keep useless people around, and Jeremiah was certainly not a wastrel.

At that time, the Wittgenstein family was afflicted by cholera during a power struggle, and Jeremiah held a high position in the family; whoever he supported would become the Clan Leader, thus someone naturally wanted him dead!

Yet, Ye Xunhuan saved him, escorted him back to the Wittgenstein family, helping the current Clan Leader of Wittgenstein family secure the position.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Ye Xunhuan hadn't rescued Jeremiah, who the current Clan Leader of the Wittgenstein family is now, would still be uncertain!

Precisely because of this, Jeremiah is deeply grateful to Ye Xunhuan, and the entire Wittgenstein family vowed allegiance to Ye Xunhuan.

Rather than calling it allegiance, it's more appropriate to say it's mutual benefit!

After all, the Wittgenstein family possesses wealth, Ye Xunhuan has manpower and power; the Wittgenstein family can provide Ye Xunhuan financial support while Ye Xunhuan can guarantee the Wittgenstein family's safety!

Moreover, nowadays, most of Ye Xunhuan's money in the underground world is managed by the Wittgenstein family, or more accurately, Jeremiah.

It can be said, Jeremiah is like Ye Xunhuan's steward, overseeing most of Ye Xunhuan's funds; of course, Ye Xunhuan has some money with Victoria.

"It's all in the past; how is old Henry doing now?" Ye Xunhuan asked with a smile.

Old Henry is the current Clan Leader of the Wittgenstein family, and this old man is quite lovable, at least Ye Xunhuan finds old Henry quite lovable!

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan mention old Henry, Jeremiah's face instantly showed a broad smile, "He's fine, although he occasionally complains about you, saying you're really not making sense, got married and forgot about your age-old friendship, not even offering him a wedding toast!"

Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "Don't worry, he can't escape it. My later years depend on the gift money you all give me!"

"Wouldn't that mean giving the entire Wittgenstein family to you?"

"If you're willing, I don't mind!"
