Late at night, a video suddenly appeared on the front pages of all media outlets except for TikTok.
The video's title read, "A Sincere Apology from Howard, the Current Patriarch of the Rothschild Family."
In the video, Howard intentionally dressed himself to appear elderly, projecting an image of decadence and illness, which gave viewers the impression that his demise was imminent.
Howard adopted this appearance based on advice from his think tank. Their strategy was rooted in the belief that downplaying one's age and misfortune could evoke sympathy and subconsciously mitigate public resentment.
In essence, it was akin to theft. A healthy twenty-year-old might steal someone's wallet, while an eighty-year-old terminally ill person, on the brink of death, could commit the same crime. Though the actions were identical in nature, society often displayed more leniency toward the latter.
