Charlie scoffed as he said, “What a piece of trash!”Sheldon blurted out, “What do you mean?!”Charlie yelled out loud, “I said that you’re a piece of trash! A complete piece of trash!”Having said that, Charlie pointed at Sheldon’s swollen face before he said coldly, “Rosalie is your illegitimate daughter, but instead of showing her love and care as her father, you used her as a tool to commit murder, and you instigated her to wantonly kill the innocent. The evil deed that she committed in Japan, annihilating the entire Matsumoto family, was all because she was acting under your order! You do not have any family affection! You are utterly shameless, cruel, unjust, and you are a useless father!”“Not only that, but Rosalie’s biological mother had stayed by your side for so many years, always doing her best to protect you. She even lost one of her arms because of you. After that, she gave birth to Rosalie for you. Yet, how did you treat her in the end? Have you ever openly acknowled
Every single one of Charlie’s words struck deep in Sheldon’s heart.At this moment, when he imagined walking up on the bloody throne with Jaime, Sophie, and Rosalie’s heads in both of his hands, he felt that his heart was about to instantly explode.His tears started gushing out as he blurted out loudly, “No! It’s not like that! I’ve never thought of using any of their lives in exchange for wealth and status! I’ve always been helpless and forced to do so! It was not my own will”As he spoke, Sheldon became even more emotional as he continued speaking, “My father was the one who had been doing all this! Moreover, every time he would make this kind of decision or whenever he would issue this kind of order, he would never tell me about it. I’m also in a lot of pain, but there is nothing else that I can do!”Charlie asked coldly, “Was there truly nothing else that you could have done, or did you choose to turn a blind eye to it?!”Sheldon knelt on the ground with a thump as he cried b
After he was done speaking, he hurriedly said respectfully, “If you let me go today, I can give you a huge sum of money as compensation. How about ten billion dollars? If that is not enough for you, I can give you more!”Charlie waved his hand. “Sheldon Schulz, you’re overthinking things. Anything else can probably be easily resolved with money, but in regards to this matter today, it’ll be completely useless even if you were to hand the entire Schulz family over to me.”After he was done speaking, Charlie sneered before he said again, “However, you can rest assured that I’ll not release this video to the public.”Sheldon asked in disbelief, “Are you sure that you’re not going to release the video to the public?!”Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, “At the very least, I have no intentions to release this video at the moment.”After he was done speaking, he looked at the time before he smiled and said, “It is about time. Come, let’s go. I’ll take you to meet some old friends
As Charlie and Isaac continued questioning and answering each other, Sheldon, who was next to them, was already scared out of his wits.He really would not have expected Charlie to actually be so vicious. Sheldon could not help but curse angrily in his heart, ‘He sends people to the dog farm?! Is he even f*cking human?! He sends people to Mount Golmin to dig ginseng?! Is this something a person would do?!’In truth, regardless of whether it was the dog farm, Mount Golmin, Mount Blackpine, or even Sierra Leone, those who were close and familiar with Charlie would no longer be surprised.However, in Sheldon’s opinion and as far as he was concerned, Charlie had always been living in the dark. So, Sheldon did not know anything about Charlie’s methods.It was also precisely because he was ignorant and did not know anything about it that he was immediately scared out of his wits as soon as he heard certain clues to his methods.As soon as he heard Charlie saying that he was going to tak
Helen could not help but laugh out loud. “Hahaha! What kind of dream is that?”Sophie smiled as she said, “The setting in my dream seemed to be by the bank of Yardi River, the place I used to go to fly kites when I was a kid.”As she spoke, Sophie said again, “Don’t you think that dreams are very strange? I was a young lady in my dreams, but I did not feel that it was out of sorts when I was dreaming.”Helen nodded. “What is so strange about it? You’ll always be very invested in most dreams that seem to be out of sorts when you are dreaming, and you’ll only feel that it is completely absurd after you wake up.”As she spoke, she sighed softly as she continued saying, “Sigh… I do not even know how many absurd and weird dreams I’ve had in my life. I dreamt that a dead person was still alive, and I even dreamt that I changed how I lived…”Sophie looked at Helen, and when she saw the regretful expression that could never be erased from her face, she could not help but ask, “Mom, do you
When she saw a figure rolling into her room by her feet, Sophie was also taken aback.However, she could not be bothered to look at the man who had just rolled by her feet. Instead, she focused all of her attention entirely on Charlie’s face.When she saw that it was indeed Charlie who was standing in front of her, Sophie felt as though she had been completely captured by Charlie at this instant. The longing that she had felt for him for so many days gushed out directly from her heart as tears started welling up in her eyes. Immediately afterward, tears started streaming down her face.She knelt on the ground without any second thoughts as she choked and said, “Thank you, benefactor, for saving my life twice! Thank you, benefactor, for saving my brother! Thank you, benefactor, for saving my mother…”Charlie had an indifferent look on his face as he pointed at Sheldon, whose face was already badly bashed up as he said coldly, “You should not be rushing to thank me first. Why don’t y
“I know.” Helen smiled slightly as he said, “The both of us are husband and wife after all. I know that even if you hate me, you might not necessarily be willing to kill me.”At this time, Sophie rushed toward Sheldon as she blurted out, “Dad! Why did Grandpa do this?! Why would he want to kill my mother?!”Sheldon was extremely ashamed as he said, “Your grandpa, he… his behavioral style has always been like this. However, he was actually just targeting your mother, and he was not targeting you at all. He really did not expect that you would also be there at that time…”Sophie blurted out angrily, “What is the difference between him targeting my mother or him targeting me?! He sent someone to kill my mother. Didn’t he think about the fact that I would actually look for him to take revenge on him in the future?!”Sheldon was suddenly speechless and at a complete loss for words.After hesitating for a while, he sighed as he said, “What else could I do? I had to leave for Australia o
Rosalie’s room was not too far, nor was it too near Helen and Sophie’s room. Although they were all in the same area on the executive floor, there were about a dozen rooms in between them.At this time, she naturally did not know about anything that was happening in Sophie’s room.Recently, she had been using the opportunity and time to practice martial arts.Charlie had already cleared her Ren meridian for her before this, and her strength and foundation had undergone an earth-shattering change because of that. So, she could not help but take advantage of this good foundation that Charlie had already laid out for her so that she could quickly improve her strength and abilities.At this time, Rosalie was wearing her sports bra as she trained in her room. When she heard the doorbell ringing, she subconsciously thought that it would be Charlie, and she was filled with excitement as she ran to the door.Just as she was about to open the door, she heard Isaac’s voice from outside the
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
