A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 724

Chapter 724

Joseph sat by the bedside, occasionally reaching out to touch Yara. As he listened, he noticed no obvious fluctuations in her emotions. Her speech remained remarkably steady, which told him she wasn’t lying.

He reckoned there was a real chance of success. The Zahn siblings were both ruthless and calculating. More importantly, the Zahn family itself was far from united. The internal power struggles and shifting loyalties were incredibly complicated.

Owen’s extraordinary longevity had also consumed too much of the Zahn family’s fortune and momentum. By monopolizing the family’s resources for so long and refusing to relinquish power, he had squeezed the younger generation out of opportunities to grow.

Joseph asked, “How did Cora and I become pawns in your game? Was Cora giving Skylar children also part of the fate you arranged for her?”

Yara hesitated for a moment before he said, “You’ll have to ask Skylar about that. If you join us, we’ll definitely make it up to you. Just look at Henry. He’s so ugly, yet beautiful women are willing to have his children. You’re far better than he is, so you don’t need to worry about having children.

“I’ll give you children in the future. I’ll even let other women have your children. If you want to be efficient, you can do what Skylar did and use IVF and surrogacy. You could even arrange multiple births. You’re a doctor. Surely you’d have better ways of keeping a pregnancy stable.

“Just have five or six children at a time, and repeat it a few times. Then you’ll never have to worry about not having enough children, right?”

Joseph remarked, “That’s true. Women are like clothes. When the old ones are worn out, you can simply replace them with new ones. When profit is involved, do chastity, marriage, love, family bonds, and morality really matter? All those things can change, but profit is eternal.”,

Joseph sighed inwardly. These siblings were willing to sacrifice absolutely anything for profit, even themselves.

Yara was already letting Joseph do as he pleased and was willing to satisfy him, sacrificing her dignity without hesitation, all because she believed she could gain far more in return. Joseph would help her eliminate Owen, allowing her to take control of the Zahn family.

Yara continued, “Joseph, you used to be a kind man. But after everything you’ve experienced recently, haven’t you grown and matured at all? You need to change the way you think.

“You’re a doctor. Saving lives and treating illnesses is certainly worthwhile, but how many people can you actually save? Say you treat 20 people a day. That’s still only around 10,000 people a year. But there are tens of millions of people in Jenton. Can you possibly take care of all of them?

“You’re close to the Croma faction, so you should know that the Zahn family stands at the very top among the great families in the country. We have absolute control of Jenton.

“Think about it. Once we succeed, you’ll be controlling the fate of millions of people from behind the scenes.”

Joseph said, “You’ve convinced me. But if you want to succeed, you have to get rid of Skylar. He’s a cripple that needs to be removed. You do it yourself. Don’t let him become a burden that drags you down. Let me see the ruthless determination required of someone who wants to succeed.”

“You…” Yara was stunned. She hadn’t expected Joseph not only to remain unmoved, but to make such a crazy demand as well.

Joseph said, “You told me I needed to grow up and learn to distinguish between what matters and what doesn’t. There’s an old saying. One person can carry the load himself, two people can share it, but when three people get involved, nobody wants to carry their share.

“There are three of us now-you, your brother, and me. So one of us has to go. You wouldn’t want to be the one I eliminate, would you?”
