When Lucian heard Charlie’s question, he shook his head and said, “I don’t know where the Hubbert Battalion is. When I went to the Hubbert Battalion, I was taken there in a coma, and I was also taken out in a coma when I left. Moreover, the Hubbert Battalion’s base is not much different from the dead soldiers’ base. They are all underground buildings and could even be called an underground city. The students at Hubbert Battalion live in this underground city. I didn’t see the sun or moon while I was at Hubbert Battalion for twenty years.”Charlie was horrified and asked, “Twenty years without the sun. I can understand that the dead soldiers did not have a choice, but you have the right to choose, so why didn’t you resist or escape when you got there and found that it was a dark life?”“Why would I?” Lucian said without hesitation, “The twenty years in Hubbert Battalion went by in the blink of an eye. Every minute and second there was incomparably fulfilling. In the twenty years there

Therefore, 547 would be very sensitive to any natural movement in the surrounding environment.However, Lucian had joined the Hubbert Battalion completely voluntarily without any kind of thoughts of wanting to escape, and he had even regretted that he could not stay in the Hubbert Battalion for ten more years. Therefore, this kind of person who was happy and immersed in enjoying every day would naturally not pay too much attention to the surroundings.Charlie asked him again helplessly, “How many martial arts experts like you are there in the entire Hubbert Battalion?”Lucian thought about it and said, “During the twenty years I was there, there were more than thirty people one after another, and there would be about twenty people at most during the same period.”Charlie frowned and said, “That means that the Hubbert Battalion has trained at least a few dozen Dark Realm experts.”“That’s right.” Lucian nodded and said, “There were at least forty to fifty of them as well.”Charli

Lucian’s explanation made Charlie feel even more puzzled about Vera’s identity.He even had some regrets.He regretted letting Vera and her grandfather go.Although in his opinion, he had already used psychological hints on them, so Vera and her grandfather must not have hidden anything from him. However, he had been short of time at the time and had not had enough time and opportunity to ask more questions. Still, it was too late for regrets now, and he could only ask for as much valuable content as possible from Lucian. So, Charlie looked at Lucian and continued to interrogate him. “Do you know why the British Lord wanted to capture her? Is it for her as a person or for something she has on her?”Lucian shook his head. “I’m not sure about this matter, and even my superiors in Turkey are not sure. We only knew that the mission could be assigned to the Right Military Governor Office, so it was a heavenly opportunity. If the mission had been successful, the British Lord would ha

When Charlie heard this, he could not help but feel admiration for this organization’s meticulousness.Generally speaking, the larger the organization, the more difficult it was to take care of details. However, the Qing Eliminating Society could handle all kinds of details very well even with such a huge scale, and this was indeed remarkable. Once they were targeted by a party who was interested, it would be easy for clues about things such as energy consumption to reveal many things. Often, by analyzing the electricity consumption data of residential buildings, police officers could find that the power consumption of a certain household was several times more compared to that of other neighbors of the same household type. Upon investigation, they would find that they were using high-powered fluorescent lamps to cultivate prohibited plants in their homes.That kind of three-bedroom house used water and natural gas that would accommodate more than ten or twenty people a month.

“No.” Lucian shook his head and said, “The organization does not use the internet. Instead, it uses its own satellite communication network, and it’s not ordinary civilian communication. It is a military communication satellite that was bought from senior Soviet officials through special channels when the Soviet Union collapsed.”“Military communication satellite?” Charlie asked in shock, “Can this be bought?”Lucian explained, “Under normal circumstances, no one would be able to buy military communication satellites no matter how rich an individual or company is. However, it was a special period, and the entire Soviet defense system was in chaos. The disintegration of the distribution between these countries was also muddled, and there were a lot of bad debts. At the time, a large part of Ukraine’s heavy weapons were sold. Even the Tu-160 bomber and nuclear bombs were sold, let alone the satellites in the sky. Back then, no one would notice that a few satellites were missing, and as

Charlie’s pupils constricted when he thought of this. He immediately asked Lucian, “What happened twenty years ago that would make your British Lord execute thousands of people directly?!”Lucian shook his head blankly. “I don’t know the specific reason... I only know that the British Lord was furious at their failure at the time, so he killed them...”Charlie raised his brows and asked coldly, “Do you know where they met their defeat, then?”Lucian shook his head and said, “I don’t know either.”Charlie thought of what Lucian had mentioned about the five military governor offices earlier and how the one responsible for Asian affairs within the Qing Eliminating Society was the Central Military Governor Office. So, he asked him, “Which military governor’s office was the one that experienced defeat? Was it the Central Military Governor Office?”Lucian shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but I’m certain that it’s not the Right Military Governor Office.”With that said, Lucian ad

Charlie was slightly startled and asked with a frown, “What other industries are there in this closed loop of yours besides the copper refinery in Turkey and the copper mine in Cyprus?”“Many.” Lucian replied, “There are natural gas companies, large farms, and shipyards in Turkey. In addition, there are also some garment and stone processing factories. Basically, all walks of life are involved, and the overall market value is about eighty billion US dollars or so.”In Turkey, an organization with a total market value of eighty billion US dollars could already be called a super business empire, and this was only the industry under the responsibility of a deputy governor under one of the five military governor offices under the Qing Eliminating Society. If any deputy governor was assigned to the economically developed Western Europe, the closed loop he was in charge of may have a market value of more than hundreds of billions of US dollars. This way, the asset strength of a Right M

As he said that, Lucian then added, “However, they receive better treatment compared to that of the Armed Calvary Guards. Firstly, they don’t need to practice martial arts hard, and secondly, they do not need to take the antidote weekly but they only need to take it once every six months. If they study hard and have real talents, they will be able to live in society as white-collar elites or even well-known entrepreneurs after taking over the company in the future, so their living conditions are definitely much better compared to that of the Armed Calvary Guards.”When Charlie heard this, he could not help but come to a realization.From this point of view, his aunt-in-law as well as her family members should not be regarded as high-end members of the Qing Eliminating Society. They were probably descendants of the Armed Calvary Guards, but they had the opportunity to live a normal life in real society.As Charlie thought of this, he asked Lucian, “During your years in the Qing Elimi

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
