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
In the darkness of the night, the Wade family’s business jet ascended and flew at fast speed toward Mount Golmin! The speed of this business jet was much faster than that of most other ordinary airplanes. Even Charlie sighed with amazement. It was no wonder the Wade family was able to stay ahead of Oskia’s other top families. The details of this business jet clearly demonstrated this.In important cities across the country, arranging such airplanes ensured that a family could be one step ahead of others and arrived first in an emergency. As long as they seized the opportunity, the possibility of gaining victory was higher. Issac told Charlie, “Young Master, the Wade family actually has another faster airplane. But there is only one, which is at Eastcliff Airport.” “Oh?” Charlie asked curiously, “Is there another airplane which is faster than this?” “That’s right!” Isaac nodded and said, “I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of Concorde? Many years ago, the French developed a s
Albert Rhodes had come to Mount Golmin once. Therefore, he was quite familiar with the area. He pointed at the mountain trail which was covered in white snow and stated to Charlie Wade, “Master, this is the only road which leads into the mountain. As long The Big Eight of the Webb family does not take the helicopter, this is the only road they can take.” Charlie Wade nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then we shall wait for them here.” Albert Rhodes immediately asked, “Master, should we summon everyone here to help?” Charlie Wade calmly responded with one word. “No.” Isaac Cameron could not help but to be worried for his young master’s safety, so he tried to convince him. “I know and understand the strength of the Webb family’s Big Eight, they aren’t people to be underestimated. You may not be able to fend them off on your own. Just to be safe, let’s just summon more people here to help!” Charlie Wade shook his head and stated in a cold voice, “What happens here today is o
On the ten kilometer stretch of hill road, two SUVs with one in front of the other were tailgating each other.These two cars were the only cars on the hill road.Driving through the snow capped terrain was no easy task as all the eye could see was pure white snow.The plain and repetitive sight of white snow made Emiliano Flores feel sort of dizzy. He then said in an annoyed tone, “That little Wade twerp is such an inbred b*stard. Since that father son duo pissed him off, then just kill them off already! What’s the point of sending people to this…this shit hole of a place? Now, he has to trouble me to come here…such bad luck.”The driver spoke in a helpless manner, “Before I came, I did some investigation on this person called Wade. He was known as a demon. Not only does he like sending people here to dig for herbs, he also loves sending people to the black coal mines to mine for coal. I even heard that he once made the boss of a listed company work in a construction site as a cem
Liam Weaver was freezing while trying to suck in his snort. In order not to expose their current location, the chopper which had brought the four of them to the top of Mount Golmin had to leave. If it wasn’t for that, they could have hidden in the chopper to keep themselves warm.After waiting for a few more minutes, Charlie Wade had a glimpse of bright lights illuminating the windy mountain road. The lights came from two cars which were making their way up the mountain.Isaac saw the streaming beams of lights too and in a frantic voice he spoke, “Master, that should be them!”Charlie nodded and replied with a smile, “Been waiting for so long that I almost fell asleep.”Albert quickly drew his pistol while gritting his teeth, “D*mn it, I’ll be witnessing the awesomeness of The Big Eight today!”Charlie replied uninterestedly, “Albert, put your gun away. It’s useless against them.”Albert stood up straight and in that flash of a moment, he seemed to understand what was happening.
It was no surprise that the driver got spooked. All along the way, there wasn’t a single person in sight and now, in the middle of the night, there was a person standing in the middle of the road. It was indeed a frightening experience.Emiliano was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the person on the road who was slowly making his way towards them.Unconsciously, words came out of Emiliano’s mouth, “It…it is indeed a human!”The person standing outside looked very young. He wore a smile on his face and a simple flowy tunic. Both arms were folded at his back and with a laidback expression. His appearance didn't seem to fit his icy cold surroundings at all.This person was no other than Charlie Wade!At the same time, Isaac and his group of people were about ten meters behind him, hiding in the cloak of darkness.Charlie had told them beforehand to just watch and not expose themselves.As the driver saw Charlie’s face, he spoke in an anxious tone, “Bro, this weird person who is st
As he ended his sentence, his legs moved as swiftly as the wind. On the spur of the moment, he was already closing in onto Charlie. His fist, which was bigger than a bowl, was already raised in front of him!With years of intense training and a lifetime of cultivation, all his blood and sweat was used to pave the way for his supreme pair of fists. With a single punch, he could destroy rocks which were a few meters thick. Not just any normal human being could take his punches and live to tell the tale.As for Charlie, he had already seen through his fighting style with a single glance.It was nothing but fist throwing. Although his fist was hardened, it was still just recklessly throwing punches. Compared to Charlie, he was nothing but a gecko on a tree.Therefore, he just stood there and didn’t even bother dodging nor avoiding the fists. He was just taking the Iron Fist head on with a despicable smile on his face.Hades Li was baffled by his absurdity. To look down upon him so muc
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
