Charlie said in agreement, “If you were to ask me to make a pragmatic comment, I would also say that you guys dealt with this matter in a very stupid and foolish manner. Anyway, you were right, and you were not wrong, but your mistake was that all of you took the wrong stand. If you really wanted to reduce the wars in this world, you guys should not be doing anti-war propagandas in Syria, but you should be doing so at the entrance of the White House in Washington. That is because your motherland is responsible for at least fifty percent of the wars around the world in modern society today.”Autumn nodded slightly. After that, she hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, in truth, I wanted to tell you that I am not the kind of banana person...”Charlie asked curiously, “What is a banana person?”Autumn hurriedly replied, “Banana people refer to Oskian people like us, who were born and raised in the United States. We have the appearance, physical traits, and genes of Asians, but we share the views
As Charlie and Autumn were rushing back directly to Aurous Hill, Hamed was also rushing back to the valley in northern Syria without making any stops at all. At this time, his subordinates were all discussing this matter amongst themselves. All of them could not understand why Hamed would suddenly want to send a hostage away.Moreover, in addition to the woman hostage, there was also another man that none of them had ever seen before. They did not know where he had come from and how he had subsequently come out together with Hamed.At any rate, this was a heavily guarded military garrison. So, how could someone, who was a stranger to everyone, suddenly appear inexplicably at this place?! This was the first time that something as weird or strange as this had ever happened here.So, after Hamed had left, everyone could not wait to find out what exactly had happened just now.Hamed’s deputy immediately headed to the cellar in person as he wanted to look for some people so that he co
This… wasn’t this just a pipe dream?!Although all of them did not have much education, they still possessed some basic common sense since they were carrying guns to go to war and battle every day. For someone in Hamed’s situation, not to mention Syria, which was lacking in doctors and medications, even if he were to go to the most powerful and most developed country in the world, it would simply be impossible for him to get completely healed.However, the reality was right in front of them. Their commander, who had been a cripple, was actually walking as fast and vigorously as a normal person comfortably could now!Hamed naturally took everyone’s reaction to heart.Although he was so excited that he felt like shouting and screaming out loud, for the sake of his image and in order to ensure that he would have better control over his team, he resisted and held back the excitement that he felt inside as he pretended to be extremely calm and composed as he strode forward and headed st
Hamed’s words made these seven so-called highly-educated elite feel extremely shocked. They felt as though their whole world was instantly collapsing at this moment.Their purpose in coming to film the documentary in Syria was completely different in comparison to Autumn. They did not actually have any good intentions or purpose, nor did they truly sympathize with the people who were suffering because of the war. They were all simply hoping that they would be able to give themselves an even more powerful resume so that they would have more opportunities for achieving greater things in the hypocritical upper-class society in the West. After landing a good job in the upper-class society in the future, when everyone was toasting and drinking together at any high-end cocktail parties or receptions, they would be able to laugh and bring up the fact that they had actually gone to Syria to film a documentary on the battlefield for the sake of raising awareness among people about anti-war.
If they would have known that Charlie had the ability to take them out, why would they have bothered to be so pretentious in front of him? If they had simply been respectful toward him just now, they might have had the opportunity to leave Syria, which was a place where they were bound to get into trouble.When Hamed saw that these people were on the verge of collapse, he was too lazy to watch them make a laughingstock out of themselves. So, he simply instructed the soldiers around him, “Make them wake up at half-past five in the morning, and they will start working at six in the morning after having their breakfast. After that, they can have a half an hour break at twelve in the afternoon and another half an hour break at six in the evening. Then, they will continue working until eleven o’clock at night. Do you understand me?” Several of his subordinates immediately nodded. “Understood, Commander!”When the seven people heard this, they felt as though they wanted to bang their hea
When the sky in Aurous Hill had just turned white, the Concorde that Charlie and Autumn were in finally landed at the Aurous Airport.After the plane had landed, Charlie, Autumn, and Isaac took the helicopter that Isaac had arranged for them and flew directly to Shangri-La.Not long after they started flying, Charlie asked for Autumn’s opinion, and he asked her if she would like to meet up with Yolden immediately. If she wanted to do so, he could call Yolden directly using the satellite phone on the plane so that he could inform Yolden of the news that Autumn had already been successfully rescued. After that, Charlie could ask Yolden to meet up with Autumn at the airport as soon as possible.However, after careful consideration, Autumn felt that the essence of her spirit and energy were very decadent. So, she wanted to rest and reorganize herself a little first. At the very least, she wanted to take a bath and change into a clean set of clothes before meeting her father.Therefore,
This also gave him a sense of crisis in his heart.It was very easy for him to finish using up his Reiki, but it was very difficult for him to accumulate and replenish his Reiki.If there was no lasting and effective way for him to replenish his Reiki, then he was afraid that it would be even more difficult and troublesome for him in the future.As he thought about this, Charlie could not help but recall some contents that he had come across in the .There was a higher-level pill that was recorded within the which was named the Cultivating Pill.Although the Cultivating Pill did not sound as arrogant or great as the Rejuvenating Pill, it was a kind of pill that was of a naturally higher level as compared to the Rejuvenating Pill.The Rejuvenating Pill could make ordinary people live longer and resurrect the dead, but it did not contain any Reiki within it. After all, Reiki was the most refined and pure energy contained in the universe, and it
Sheldon, who was extremely excited, would never have imagined that Charlie would be in the room next to him at this time.The luxury suites in Shangri-La were all very uniform in design. The overall layout was a square shape, and the two rooms on the left were the living room and the study room, while the two rooms on the right were the bathroom and the bedroom.In other words, the bedroom where Charlie was currently happened to be right next to Sheldon’s study room.Under normal circumstances, the rooms in a five-star hotel would usually be soundproof to ensure quietness, privacy, and comfort for the guests. Therefore, even if it was only separated by a wall, any ordinary person would not be able to hear the conversation next door.However, for someone like Charlie, who had extremely sensitive senses, this kind of wall was rather useless.So, even if he had no intention to eavesdrop on the conversation of the people in the room next door, he could hear every single movement in Sh
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
