Jasmine had always been very respectful toward him because of these reasons.Thus, he believed that Jasmine must have deliberately concealed the fact that this was her birthday banquet—because she was afraid that she would owe him even more favors.When Charlie thought about this, he suddenly felt that this was getting very interesting.Jasmine, aren’t you afraid of owing me more favors? Well, I am going to do you another great favor this time.I will not go out and buy you a birthday gift, but I will prepare a Rejuvenating Pill for you.Everyone in the upper-class society of Aurous Hill knew how amazing the Rejuvenating Pill was. After all, everyone had seen it for themselves.Lord Moore had publicly taken the Rejuvenating Pill at his birthday banquet the other day, and everyone had personally witnessed the magical effect of the pill for themselves.Charlie even heard that someone was willing to spend one hundred million or even several hundred million dollars just to buy a Rej
Paul drove home after sending Charlie back to the villa at Thompson First.Charlie walked back to the villa on his own. His father-in-law, Jacob, hurriedly came forward to greet him as he asked, “My good son-in-law, did you manage to see your Aunt Hall after going out with Paul today?”Charlie replied helplessly, “Dad, why would I possibly meet Aunt Hall when I am going out to run some errands with Paul?”Jacob could not help but sigh as he felt very depressed.He missed Matilda very much these past few days. However, since Elaine was at home, he did not dare to take the risk of meeting up with Matilda.So, at this time, he could not help but feel very anxious and lost.He asked Charlie again, “Then, did you ask Paul about the current status of your Aunt Hall? How has she been?”Charlie smiled before he replied, “Aunt Hall is doing very well lately. I heard Paul saying that Aunt Hall is also teaching a class at Senior University nowadays. She is not only teaching a class, but sh
Charlie could not help but feel that Jasmine looked very breathtaking when he saw her.He had already long felt that Jasmine’s appearance and figure were not inferior compared to his wife, Claire.Even the aristocratic temperament that Jasmine had cultivated ever since her childhood could not be matched by his wife.After all, Jasmine was the eldest young lady of the local top big and powerful family. Ever since she was young, she had received noble etiquette teachings, and she was very different compared to any other woman.When Jasmine saw Charlie, she became very excited, and she rushed forward as she said shyly, “Master Wade, you are here.”Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Jasmine, why didn’t you tell me that it was your birthday in advance?”Jasmine replied apologetically, “Master Wade, please do not be offended. The reason why I didn’t tell you about it was because I was afraid that you would spend money just to prepare a gift for me.”Charlie smiled before he said
At this moment, all the guests who had come to attend Jasmine’s birthday banquet today were actually waiting for Charlie.Everyone knew that Donald from the Webb family had come to Aurous Hill with his son some time ago, and they had even had a conflict with Charlie.Moreover, Charlie had even broken Sean’s hand in public during Lord Moore’s birthday banquet. After that, Isaac had also come forward and broken each of their legs before finally letting the father and son from the Webb family return to Sudbury in embarrassment.Since then, every one of them had felt that Charlie was absolutely fearless. He was not even worried and did not even care about the top and most influential family in the entire South Region.At that time, many people were actually still worried that Charlie would be no match for the Webb family which had many assets and a strong background.Unexpectedly, within a short period of time, the Webb family had fallen from their top position as the top and most i
Basically, he would not go to the Emgrand Group at all on a normal basis. He would just ask about the Emgrand Group and would hand everything directly over to Doris to handle.Based on what Doris had just said, it seemed as though she was hoping that he would be able to go to Emgrand Group more often.As he thought about this, Charlie smiled before he told Doris, “Since the beautiful vice-chairman will be there, I will naturally go to the Emgrand Group more often in the future to trouble you!”When Doris heard this, her beautiful and glamorous face turned bright red.At this time, Anthony also brought Xyla over with him.Xyla looked at Charlie with tenderness in her beautiful eyes.At the same time, she could not help but feel a little unhappy inside. She could not help but feel that Master Wade seemed to be paying less attention to her and her grandfather lately.This was because she had not seen Master Wade coming to the Serene World Clinic anymore during this time. So, althou
Aurora’s face was already flushed red with embarrassment when Charlie looked at her.Aurora had always been the kind of girl who was extremely pompous. Moreover, she was not shy and weak because she also had a fighting background.However, her heart was filled with a little girl’s shyness and excitement because she had suddenly met her sweetheart. It seemed as though she had suddenly become a very shy and lovable girl.Charlie smiled slightly at her before he said, “Aurora, you are here too. How have you been?”Aurora blushed as she said, “Recently… I have been pretty good recently. Thank you for your concern, Master Wade…”Charlie nodded slightly before he told everyone, “Since everyone has not seen each other for quite some time and since today is also Miss Moore’s birthday, we can drink a few more glasses of wine together later.”Everyone hurriedly replied, “Of course! Of course! We definitely have to drink a few more glasses of wine tonight!”At this time, Jasmine said apolo
Aurora felt very shy and embarrassed, and she did not know how to start speaking.Charlie smiled before he said, “Are you still the same Aurora that I remember? The Aurora that I knew before this actually dared to raise her hand at me when we were at Antique Street. Why is it that the Aurora who is standing in front of me right now cannot even bring herself to speak up?”Aurora felt even more bashful and embarrassed when she heard this. After that, she replied in a shy and nervous manner, “Master Wade, I did not know that you were so powerful and capable in the past. That is why I failed to recognize your great talent back then. Don’t make fun of me anymore.”As she spoke, Aurora suddenly thought of how Charlie had kicked her in her butt that day. Although she felt very ashamed, she was still very happy like a little girl.After that, she plucked up the courage before she said to Charlie, “Master Wade, I was actually planning to invite you to watch the International University Comb
After promising to watch Aurora’s competition, Charlie brought her back to the banquet.There were even more guests who had arrived at the banquet at this time, and the atmosphere gradually became even livelier.When Lord Moore heard that Charlie was already here, he hurried out to greet him. However, when he came out, Charlie had already gone out with Aurora.As soon as Charlie came back, Lord Moore hurriedly greeted him as he said with joy, “Oh! Master Wade, it has been a long time since I last saw you.”Charlie smiled slightly as he looked at Lord Moore and said, “Lord Moore, you seem to be in very high spirits. Have you been in good health lately?”Lord Moore replied gratefully, “Master Wade, it is all thanks to you that a dying old man like me can regain my youth again.”After that, Lord Moore asked Charlie, “Master Wade, how are you lately?”Charlie nodded slightly before he smiled and said, “I am doing pretty well. Everything is still the same.”Lord Moore replied vaguel
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
