Donald felt very embarrassed as he clutched onto his cheek that was already flushed red.He finally realized his mistake at this time.His strategy was correct. He had to unite his comrades and treat the enemies of his enemy as his own allies.No matter whether it was the father and son from the Weaver family who were on Mount Golmin, the Wilson family, or any other people, they were all people whom he should be gathering and uniting together.However, he was wrong because he had acted too hastily. He should not have undermined the morale of his army.The enemy was right there and they would not go missing just because he came one step later.His allies were also right there and they would not die just because he was one step late.Why was he so anxious? He had sent his men up to Mount Golmin twice and he had already failed twice. He had also lost the lives of twenty men up there all for nothing.He should have remained calm and composed and just waited patiently. He should als
“Okay.” It was only at this time that Lord Webb finally nodded his head. “Then, I’ll send The Big Eight up to Mount Golmin tonight. Get the private jet ready.”Donald asked in surprise, “Dad, do we need to be so anxious?”Lord Webb replied earnestly, “You’ve just lost fifteen of your men’s lives tonight. The enemy will definitely think that you wouldn’t dare to come back for a short period of time. We should send The Big Eight over there tonight so they can appear in front of the enemy early in the morning tomorrow. This way, the enemy will definitely be caught off guard!”Donald nodded as he was being educated.He felt a little inferior and ashamed of himself at this time because he felt that his abilities were really too far behind his old man’s.The old man was indeed the one who could really make plans and strategies to win the battle from a thousand miles away.After that, Donald immediately called and arranged for the private jet to prepare to take off. After about an hour,
At this moment, at the villa at Thompson First, it was late at night and Charlie and his wife were sleeping in their bed with their own respective quilts.At this time, Charlie’s cell phone suddenly buzzed twice.As Charlie was afraid that the sound from his cell phone would wake his sleeping wife, he hurriedly picked up his cell phone and found out that he had received two WeChat messages.It was already twelve in the middle of the night. Charlie did not know who would send him a WeChat message at this time but he guessed that it must be something important if the person texted him at this time.So, he immediately unlocked his cell phone and found out that the messages were sent to him by Albert.“Master Wade, something has happened at Mount Golmin. Liam and I are outside your front door now. I’m wondering if it would be convenient for you to come out for a moment?”Charlie frowned.Something had happened at Mount Golmin. Then, this could only mean that the Webb family was targ
Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “If we solved everything by simply killing the person, then the Webb family would have already been dead a long time ago. Some people deserve to die and they must be killed as soon as possible—for instance, those people from the Beggar Clan. However, it would simply be too boring if we were to kill some people.”After Charlie was done speaking, he smiled and said, “Why don’t you think about Ichiro, who is still staying at your dog farm? I could’ve killed him a long time ago but why am I keeping him alive? This is because I think it’s even more fun and interesting for him to be living. There are more possibilities when he’s alive. I’ll miss out on a lot of fun if he dies, and the same goes for the Webb family and the Weaver family too.”In Charlie’s heart, everything in this world complemented each other and also mutually reinforced and counteracted one another.The reason why he was keeping Ichiro alive was so Ichiro could reinforce and counte
Charlie saw Liam was a bit nervous. With the intention of diverting the topic, he smiled lightly and asked, “How’s your pharmaceutical manufacturing business doing so far?Liam looked straight at Charlie and reported, “Master Wade, the recent developments of the pharmaceutical factories are considered stable. But we’ve encountered some obstacles in the expansion of new markets.” “What were the obstacles?”Charlie felt weird. With the Weaver family’s pharmaceutical manufacturing strength, there should be very few competitors in the domestic pharmaceutical industry.But with new developments in drugs, as long as one could find a good prescription, there should be no major problems. However, if the prescription was ineffective, it would be meaningless no matter how influential the pharmaceutical factory was.Liam immediately answered, “The Weaver family’s pharmaceutical company has recently invested heavily in the development of a new proprietary Chinese medicine. The main funct
Actually, there were countless types of magical ancient medical prescriptions recorded in the Apocalyptic Book. In the area of stomach medicine alone, there were dozens of them. Just by picking any of these prescriptions was sufficient to defeat Kobayashi Pharma. However, the pharmaceutical industry was very profitable. Thus, he could not help Liam without something in return.So, he said to Liam, “I have a few good formulas in my hand. Once produced, they’ll surely be the best-selling magical drugs. If I use the formulas to buy shares, how many shares would you be willing to give me?”Almost without hesitation, Liam answered, “Master Wade, what I have today is all because of you. The whole of Weaver Pharmaceuticals belongs to you, Master Wade. If you want to make medicine, Liam will give it to you immediately!” Liam knew this very well in his heart.Without Charlie, he could not possibly inherit Weaver Pharmaceuticals.Without Charlie, he would not be able to hold onto Weaver
At that very moment, Charlie had two solutions.The first solution was to look for Stephen Thompson to send the masters from the Wade family in Eastcliff to Mount Golmin for interception. There were many skilful masters in the Wade family and therefore, it would not be a challenge at all to subdue The Big Eight. The second solution was to depart to Mount Golmin and to ambush The Big Eight on his own. After a few seconds of consideration, Charlie decided that he should solve his own problems. So, he would go to Mount Golmin and finish off The Big Eight.Charlie had owned the Apocalyptic Book for some time now. He had meditated on it and this had elevated his strength gradually. At the same time, he had his body tempered with spiritual energy. As such, his physical condition was different compared to that of ordinary people. Not to mention, he also had already refined numerous Rejuvenating Pills. By relying on those Rejuvenating Pills, he had elevated his physical condit
At Aurous Airport, Wade family’s private jet deployed at Aurous was ready to take off at the end of the runway. The jet could take off as soon as Charlie got on it.Furthermore, this jet was able to arrive at Mount Golmin in just two hours.On the contrary, Webb family’s private jet needed at least three hours to reach the destination. Moreover, the Webb family did not have the ability to mobilize resources across the country or even across the globe simultaneously.It was believed that The Big Eight would not have had a helicopter awaited for them. The most that Webb family could do was to prepare a sports utility vehicle to bring them all the way to the foot of the mountain.According to Albert Rhodes, the journey from Mount Golmin to Weaver family’s residence in that village would take more than two hours, given that it was not snowing.If it was snowing and the road condition wasn’t ideal, it would take them around three hours to arrive.But with the helicopter, the jou
The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em
Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.
Helena said, "Mr. Harrison, your family is involved in almost all of the institutions that are major shareholders of Nvidia, and you also hold a lot of floating shares in the secondary market. You got these shares very early, and the chips were very low. As Nvidia's stock price has gone up to over 1 trillion, you have made a lot of money." Harrison had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a concession of 10 billion, so when Helena started to talk about his past, he quickly explained, "Business is business... Whatever we earn from Nvidia shouldn't be mixed with this matter, w-w-wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?" "Agreed." Helena nodded. "However, since I'm granting you a hundred billion in hardware costs, this absolutely ties back to Nvidia. You'll ultimately need to procure the AI model hardware through them, and as a shareholder, any bulk orders from Nvidia will effectively be you moving money from one hand to the other." "First, even if the listed cost is a hundred b
Helena was not afflicted by Harrison's annoyance. She said lightly, "Calm down, Mr. Harrison. I haven't finished." After a short pause, she continued, "I want your model for my own use, not for any commercial use, which means it will have no impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than giving me a copy, a set of hardware, and twenty years of maintenance fee. That shouldn't cost much, right?" "H-How can I be sure that y-you won't use it for commercial purposes?" Helena smiled and said, "That's the specific detail I'll talk about next. You will still pay me 100 billion dollars, but I will sign a contract with you stating that 50 billion dollars of that will be returned to you at the rate of 2.5 billion dollars per year for the next 20 years. "If you stop upgrading and maintaining the model, I will stop the subsequent return of the money." "If I use your AI model for commercial purposes, you can immedi
Helena added, "In fact, Mr. Rothschild, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the family's sake, you could save this money and allow it to contribute to the future development of the family. Who knows—perhaps your descendants would even build a monument in your honor." Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, Harrison covered his stomach and waved her off. "Alright, t-that's enough. Since it's a deal, y-you name your price, a-and I can negotiate, so let me give you... a one-and-done price." With that, he held up five fingers, resolutely declaring, "50 billion dollars! Not a penny more! Any more, and even if I regain my health, I'll feel miserable. Just thinking about spending hundreds of billions on a single pill might ruin my happiness in old age." The thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a single pill genuinely pained Harrison. Some people, even without money, still acted generous. But some, when they had wealth, became increasingly stingy. Some believ
Harrison initially thought that 100 million dollars was already an astronomical figure and that offering this amount would sufficiently demonstrate his sincerity. However, he never expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, couldn't even be bothered to negotiate and would turn to leave. He had just felt the tangible effects of the medicine. If one-tenth had such an impact, taking a whole pill would undoubtedly restore him to his former self. He couldn't afford to miss this rare opportunity. So, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it, b-but why are you leaving?" Helena explained lightly, "I have never liked to negotiate partnerships with ignorant people. If you believe your health is worth only 100 million dollars, then, frankly, what is there left for me to discuss with you? Although I may not have as much money as you, in my view, my health is certainly worth more than that amount." Harrison was rendered speechless. He hadn't ex
Helena didn't give Harrison a chance to resist. She pinched his cheeks on both sides, forcing his mouth to open. Then, she poured the water containing the dissolved Healing Pill directly into his mouth. Harrison was so scared that the blood drained from his face. He wanted to kick and struggle, but he was trembling profusely and couldn't do anything. The thought of Helena trying to poison him gave him a chill to the marrow. He wanted to spit out the water, but Helena didn't give him a chance. While the water was still in his mouth, she threw the glass aside with her other hand, grabbed his chin, and lifted it up, snarling, "Drink it!" The moment Harrison's chin was lifted, his esophagus directly opened. The water, which was not much, went straight down his esophagus into his stomach, and he literally drank it. Harrison's eyes were full of fear at this moment. He thought that he might not even have time to say goodbye before he died. The next second, when he felt a different k
Harrison scoffed when he heard Helena's suggestion. He snapped angrily, "I-I-I have the best medical team in the world, and t-they don't even dare say such a thing. W-Who do you think you are?!" Helena smirked and replied, "Your team can't cure you, but I can." With that, she took out the Healing Pill that Charlie had given her from her purse and said to Harrison, "This pill comes from the ancient and mysterious East. Once you take it, you'll be restored to your former self. To alleviate your concerns, I can let you take one-tenth of it for free before we discuss terms so that you can truly feel its effectiveness. After that, we can discuss the pricing." Harrison, without any hesitation, disdainfully replied, "I-I would never b-b-believe in such a r-ridiculous pill! T-T-This b-bullshit has no scientific ba-a-asis at all!" Helena sneered contemptuously, "If you believe in science so much, why are you afraid of the Qing Eliminating Society? Can they possibly be a match for your
Helena pursed her lips, looked at Harrison, and then looked at Julien, pretending to be hesitant to speak. Despite his paralyzed body, Harrison was still as sly and smart as ever, so he looked at Julien and said, "Julien, clear the room. I want to talk to Her Majesty alone." Knowing that Harrison was trying to give him a boost, Julien immediately said, "Okay, Dad!" After that, he quickly asked the doctor to leave. Before leaving, he turned and said to Harrison, "Dad, you have all the time in the world. Please have a nice chat with Her Majesty. I'll ask everyone to keep a distance of 20 meters from the room. Please rest assured." Harrison nodded in satisfaction and flicked in the air at him twice, motioning for him to leave. Julien gleefully closed the door and promptly urged everyone to stay 20 meters away from the room, including himself. Seeing that the room was clear, Helena cut to the chase. As she looked at Harrison on the bed, she stated, "Mr. Harrison, the main reaso
