So, if she really wanted to see, communicate, and get along with Charlie normally, her only opportunity to do so was when Charlie came to Northern Europe to look for her.However, based on Charlie’s style of action, he definitely would not come to Northern Europe to meet her unless it was necessary.As Helena thought of this, she felt sad and reluctant. So, she looked at Charlie, sobbed softly, and said, “Mr. Wade, you must come to Northern Europe again if you have time. Even if you can’t come, don’t forget me...”When Charlie saw that her tears were falling uncontrollably, he could not help but feel a little distressed as he recalled what he had discovered in her bedroom this morning. However, although there were no outsiders here, it was still crowded with people. Not only were Albert and Isaac present, but the crew and royal guards were also there.Therefore, Charlie could only comfort her, “Helena, I will definitely come again if there’s a chance. You have to take care of you
Two hours later, the Concorde airliner that Charlie was on landed in Damascus, the capital of Syria.Porter and several core members of Ten Thousand Armies were already waiting at the airport. When Charlie got off the plane, Porter rushed forward and said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, I thought that you would return to the United States directly from Northern Europe. I didn’t expect that you would make a special detour to Syria, so our preparations are a little hasty. If I’d known that you’d be coming over, I would have definitely made the arrangements in advance.”Charlie said with a smile, “There is still deadly poison in the bodies of the seven men that you brought back with you. These seven men will die within a few days if I do not remove the poison from their bodies.” Charlie then asked him, “Have those seven people settled down?”“They have already settled down.” Porter said, “I left Zayne behind with a few five-star War Generals to guard those men in order to avoid any accident
The five helicopters took off almost simultaneously and flew toward Ten Thousand Armies’ base.After an hour’s flight, the helicopter flew over the base. From the air, it could be seen that Ten Thousand Armies’ base was a huge construction site with buildings under construction and many transportation vehicles everywhere. There was an airstrip that had already taken shape on the east side of the base.Charlie could not help but feel a sense of relief when he saw that the construction of the entire base was in full swing.Ten Thousand Armies was currently his strongest striking force aside from himself, and it played a significant role in every step that he would take in the future, especially in his battle against the mysterious organization.Therefore, he hoped that Ten Thousand Armies’ strength would continue to grow and improve, and his goal for the first stage of the development of Ten Thousand Armies’ strength was to be able to counteract all the dead soldiers belonging to
Charlie nodded. “How many workers are working in the mine now?”Porter said, “We are speeding up the progress regardless of cost, so if we count all types of work in the mine, there are currently about five to six hundred people working in the mine.”Charlie asked again, “By the way, what are those Sicilian mafias that were brought here from Canada doing now?”Porter smiled and said, “The mafia from Sicily are all organized into the excavation team, and they specialize in the construction of underground fortifications. Our normal construction team works in three shifts a day and works eight hours a day. However, for these mafias, it’s a twelve-hour working day with two shifts a day. We do not pay attention to labor laws for them as long as we don’t tire them to death. After all, they are a bunch of b*stards who lived a life full of crimes.”Charlie could not help but laugh and say, “There are more than eight hundred Sicilian elites. They commit murder, arson, and bully all the time
Hamed’s gratitude to Charlie had long been endless like the flooding of a river that was out of control.If it was not for Charlie, both Ten Thousand Armies and the Syrian government would have already taken him down.Not to mention, Charlie had also cured his leg, which had been crippled for decades, and given him a lot of funds to strengthen his defense. Now, with Ten Thousand Armies’ mediation, Hamed also had a good opportunity for peaceful development. However, what he did not expect was that even so, Charlie still treated him well and was still very generous toward him without asking for anything.With the current specifications of Ten Thousand Armies’ underground fortifications, even if it was displayed on a small scale in his own base, it was still difficult to implement without a cost of hundreds of millions of US dollars. For Hamed, this was something that he could not even think about.Charlie had even agreed to help him build the underground fortification for free
“Okay, Mr. Wade!” Porter brought Charlie to a windowless conference room immediately and instructed someone to invite Merlin and 547 over first.Merlin did not expect Charlie to come to Syria and asked in surprise, “Young Master Wade, why did you come here in person?”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Chief Lammy, I just came over from Northern Europe, and I brought some other members of the mysterious organization over. There are more people this time, and they are not dead soldiers. They are one level higher than dead soldiers.”“Not dead soldiers?” Merlin asked in surprise, “What level is that? What are they responsible for in the organization?”Charlie explained, “They are called the Armed Calvary Guards internally, and they are responsible for guarding the dead soldiers.”When 547, who was sitting in a wheelchair, heard this, he said in amazement, “The Armed Calvary Guards? Is it the Armed Calvary Guards who are in charge of watching over us?!”Charlie shook his head and sa
Ever since he had come back from Mexico, Porter had been dreaming of charging into battle and killing the enemy for Charlie. Therefore, upon hearing Charlie say that he had discovered the exact address of the station of the mysterious organization, he could not wait to wipe out this station for Charlie!Nevertheless, Charlie waved his hand at this time and said seriously, “A copper mine guarded by hundreds of members of the Armed Calvary Guards may have a very strong defense, not to mention the intricate underground fortifications. If you go in rashly, you will definitely get caught by the other party. In this case, it’s almost impossible for us to wipe out the opponent without revealing any clues. There are also thousands of dead soldiers and relatives of the dead soldiers inside. These dead soldiers could be a big hidden danger when things are unknown.”547 who was aside also nodded and said, “Mr. Wade is right. The dead soldiers and their relatives have to take the antidote give
For these members of the Armed Calvary Guards, the poison in their bodies was a shackle that imprisoned them for life and could never be broken.However, it only took a little Reiki for Charlie to remove the poison from their bodies completely. Therefore, Charlie had already used Reiki to remove the poison from their bodies one by one when he patted their shoulders just now.When the seven people heard Charlie say that the poison in their bodies had been dealt with, they were all surprised at first. They then closed their eyes and examined their bodies carefully. Sure enough, the power that had been gathered in their elixir field before this was now gone!The poison in their bodies was not an ordinary highly toxic substance, but it was an energy that could not be controlled by their bodies. The energy in their bodies was like a time bomb with a seven-day cycle. Once the seven days were up, this energy would destroy their meridians and internal organs completely. The so-called an
Helena waved her hand dismissively. "You don't have to. As you mentioned, procuring the hardware for the AI models comes with its own costs. I'd rather take a loss myself than let you suffer. After all, you're already of such an age, and having had a stroke once before. If you end up losing something and it affects your mood, leading to a relapse, wouldn't that make me the bad guy?" "No, no, no!" Harrison, ignoring the subtle mockery, hurried over to Helena with great urgency and reassured, almost desperately, "Buying the hardware for Your Majesty is something we should do. Please accept it." As he said it, he lamented with regret, "Your Highness, I'm old, and my mindset is molded in the conservative mode because of decades of experience, and bargaining is one of them. Nevertheless, please rest assured that we will never again bargain when doing business with you." After experiencing the powerful effect of the Healing Pill, Harrison keenly realized that the pill must be a life-sa
Harrison immediately caught the implication in her words and, with a smile, said, "Your Majesty, you are truly a brilliant negotiator. I've never seen someone so young yet able to control the pace of negotiations so skillfully! With you at the helm, the Nordic royal family is sure to soar to new heights!" Helena smiled and said, "You think too highly of me. I can control the rhythm well because I have a good mentor." "I wonder who your mentor is?" Harrison asked curiously. "I would like to meet him if there is a chance." Helena said lightly, "My mentor prefers to act with a low profile and isn't fond of the vanity that comes with fame, but I believe that you will have the opportunity to meet him in the future." "That would be wonderful!" Harrison replied with a beam. Helena then said, "It's getting late. I'll take my leave now." Harrison nodded. As he saw Helena turn to leave, he remembered something and hurriedly called after her, "Hold on, Your Majesty!" "Yes, Mr. Roths
Seeing Harrison with his head down in deep thought, Helena knew he definitely wouldn't follow the original plan to pass the position of family head to Julien. Sure enough, Harrison lifted his head with a chuckle and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to New York and attend my family meeting to establish the heir. Your presence truly brings us great honor!" Feigning a surprised expression, Helena asked, "Aren't we going to announce Julien's succession today? Why have you changed your mind?" Harrison waved her off and, with a slightly embarrassed smile, said, "Plans can't keep up with changes, and changes always outpace plans. Until this morning, I never imagined I could regain my health. Don't you think so?" Helena smiled slightly. "Your recovery is partly due to Julien's devotion, which seems to have touched God himself." Despite what she said, she couldn't help mumbling under her breath, "Harrison really did change his mind,
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
