“I…” Sheldon was speechless, and his whole body began trembling and convulsing violently.At this time, he really did not know what he should say.Say that he would die on his own? Then, Charlie would certainly force him to commit suicide.Say that he would allow Charlie to help him? Then, Charlie might just gun him down…Nevertheless, both of his daughters were here. So, should he really beg Charlie for mercy? Wouldn’t that simply mean that he would be going back on his words again and that he would be abandoning his daughters once more?He felt extremely entangled, and he was really afraid of dying. So, Sheldon could only collapse on the ground as though he was paralyzed. He could only cry, but he could not even say a word at all.When Sophie looked at Sheldon, she could not help but despise him a little, yet at the same time, she felt that it was a little unbearable.She was actually not afraid that her father would go back on his word.After all, she was already very disapp
When Sheldon heard that Charlie was going to detain him for three years and that he would only gain his freedom if Sophie handed his father over to Charlie, Sheldon suddenly fell into a state of panic.Just as he was about to speak, Sophie, who was at the side, suddenly spoke up as she asked, “Benefactor, you’re targeting my father because of the Anti-Wade Alliance back then. But why are you targeting my grandfather, then?”Charlie smiled slightly before he replied seriously, “I have three reasons for targeting your grandfather.”“Firstly, judging by the fact that your grandfather has the absolute right to speak and make any decisions in the Schulz family, then, although your father was the one who established the Anti-Wade Alliance back then, the person who instigated this would certainly be none other than your grandfather!”As soon as Sheldon, who was at the side, heard these words, he nodded repeatedly as tears streamed down his face!Charlie’s words had touched the bottom of
As he thought about this, Sheldon could not help but plead, “Mr. Wade, I beg you not to send me to Africa, please. I’m already old, and I’ll not be able to endure much suffering.”When Charlie heard this, he simply smiled as he said, “Mr. Schulz, you’re overthinking it. I do not have any contacts or connections in Africa. Even if I wanted to send you there, there is no suitable place for me to send you over there.”Sheldon was finally a little relieved.In his opinion, as long as he did not need to go to Africa, everything else could still be justified.Even if it was Myanmar or Cambodia, every aspect of the conditions and security there would certainly be much better compared to Africa.So, he hurriedly asked, “Mr. Wade, where are you going to send me, then?”Charlie smiled slightly before he said faintly, “Syria!”Sheldon felt a buzz in his mind, and he felt as though a huge force was rushing to his brain directly as soon as he heard that word. He started panicking as he mur
Charlie had just returned from Hamed’s base. Therefore, he was very clear about Hamed’s current situation. Hamed had to be very short of money,He had an army of two thousand men, and they were all without exception masters who knew how to spend money but did not know how to make money. The few helicopters and those few armored vehicles were also money-burning machines as soon as it was turned on.With so many people and equipment, everything involved money.Besides that, the sphere of influence for the people in the opposition force was generally limited to those remote and desolate places as well as those valleys and places that were enclosed by mountains. So, there was no way for them to make money at all. So, they could only rely on sieging cities or foreign capital funding.In fact, Charlie also had a lot of spare money on hand. So, it would not actually be a big deal for him to spend tens of millions of US dollars or even hundreds of millions of US dollars to fund Hamed.
As he thought about this, he choked as he said, “Mr. Wade, the service is simply too bad. Can you give me a better package?”Charlie replied helplessly, “Didn’t you say that you can only move tens of millions of dollars around? You’ll only be able to enjoy this kind of service for that small amount of money.”Sheldon hurriedly waved his hand. “Mr. Wade, as long as you can give me better treatment, money will not be a problem!”Sheldon finally understood now.‘In the past, I did not dare to privately move a large amount of money in the Schulz family. I’ll have to gain Lord Schulz’s approval and agreement before doing so, but that is because Lord Schulz would ask the financial auditors to conduct regular checks on the accounts. If I were to embezzle the Schulz family’s public funds, I would not be able to hide it, and I might even get into a lot of trouble.’‘But it is almost a certainty that Charlie will be sending me to Syria this time. After all, there is absolutely no way that t
When Hamed heard that Charlie was going to send money to him, he immediately said nervously, “Sigh, Brother, that will not do. You cured my leg, and that is already a very great kindness to me. How could I still accept your money?”Charlie smiled as he said, “Aren’t you short of money? You need to feed your subordinates, and you’ll also have to spend money on ammunition. I’m only helping as much as I can. So, Brother, you don’t need to be so polite with me.”Hamed still wanted to decline it, but Charlie said in a firm tone, “Brother, if you refuse to accept the money, that means that you’re not treating me as a friend. If that is the case, we do not need to contact each other in the future anymore!”As soon as Hamed heard these words, he immediately said without any hesitation, “Brother! Since that is the case, I guess it will be better for me to accept deferentially than to decline courteously! I’ll make sure to do my best to serve your guest well when he comes here.”When Sheldon
Isaac replied without any hesitation at all, “Okay, Young Master. I’ll go and make the arrangements now!”Charlie nodded before he looked at Sheldon and said, “The situation in Syria is very complicated. Try not to escape after you get there, Mr. Schulz. Otherwise, if you were to meet with any accidents, you’ll have to bear the consequences on your own, then.”Sheldon nodded in an extremely dispirited state, and he subconsciously asked, “Mr. Wade, can I bring some of my personal belongings? There is a shortage of everything there. So, if I could bring some toiletries, daily necessities, clothes, shoes, and hats there with me, I would be able to have a little peace of mind at least…”Charlie replied coldly, “Since I’m asking you to go there to experience life there, you should naturally live according to the local standards and characteristics. You should use whatever is available there. Otherwise, I might as well build a villa for you there, then!”When Sheldon saw that Charlie’s t
Sophie did not know what her mother was thinking, but she was indeed feeling extremely excited to fulfill her wish and obtain her heart’s desire. She was also harboring expectations and fantasies for the future.She thought to herself, ‘Although this kind of matter, where the hero saves the beauty, sounds very cliche and absurd, that is because most people have never had the opportunity to encounter something like this in their life. It is only when this kind of thing happens to them directly that they would be able to feel the lethality and destructive power behind it. When I think about how he was the one who saved my life, I cannot help but develop a mentality where I want to commit myself to him entirely…’‘Most importantly, my benefactor did not only save me once, but he has actually saved me twice! He saved my brother once, my mother once, and he has saved my half-sister, who is currently beside me, once too…’‘One life-saving grace would already be unforgettable for a lifetim
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
