The third person to enter the office was the short-haired man who had mobilized the other members of the Armed Calvary Guards to take the opportunity to resist.Charlie recognized his voice when he said the phrase ‘The Left Banner Commander of the Armed Calvary Guards requests to see the Special Envoy Master’ when he was at the door.So, Charlie watched his every move from the moment he entered the door. The man was about forty years old. Although he had an average appearance, there was a look of unconcealable heroism in his eyes. When he saw Charlie, he bowed slightly and said routinely, “Special Envoy Master, I’ve tried the new antidote you gave me and found nothing abnormal about it.”Charlie smiled slightly and asked him, “What’s your name?”The short-haired man did not know why Charlie had asked for his name, so he could only answer truthfully although he was puzzled. “Special Envoy Master, my name is Noel Laceman.”Charlie asked again, “I remember that all dead soldiers
Noel was shocked, but he forced himself to calm down as he played dumb and asked, “Special Envoy Master, I do not understand what you mean...”Charlie said calmly, “Noel, the poison in your body has disappeared completely, right?”When Noel heard this, he was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at Charlie in horror and trepidation, and he took in Charlie’s slightly lazy and casual smile. He suddenly realized that what had happened in the conference room next door seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but looking at it now, it seemed that the Special Envoy Master in front of him was deliberately deceiving them and setting a trap for them.It seemed that everything was already under his control. He might have even planned all of this deliberately to toy with him and the other members of the Armed Calvary Guards. Noel tried to make a final struggle in desperation. He shook his head and said to Charlie, “Special Envoy Master, please forgive me for bein
“Of course!” Charlie looked at him, nodded approvingly, and said aloud, “I came here today to do three things! The first thing is to control the special envoy as well as the Section Ambassador here without bloodshed. As you can see, I have already done that.”After saying that, Charlie paused for a moment and continued, “As for the second thing, it is to remove all the poison from your bodies without the Qing Eliminating Society noticing anything, but the premise is that none of you can escape, and you must stay here to cooperate with me and follow my orders anytime and anywhere.”“The third thing is to let you stay here and cooperate with me from inside and outside after the poison in your body is cleared in preparation for the complete elimination of the Qing Eliminating Society!”Noel frowned and immediately said with a serious expression, “Since you are an enemy of the Qing Eliminating Society, you and I have a common enemy, and we are comrades in arms. Since you’re willing to r
Charlie’s promise stirred Noel’s heart.He knelt on the ground, looked up at Charlie with eyes full of passion, and asked excitedly, “Sir, please let me know what I should do next!”Charlie’s gaze was sharp as he said loudly, “I have already controlled the Section Ambassador and the special envoy here. Right now, the Armed Calvary Guards are the ones with the highest say here, so I need you to cooperate with me. First of all, those among the Armed Calvary Guards who are loyal to the Qing Eliminating Society will be arrested!”Noel said with a surprised expression, “Sir, please forgive me for speaking so bluntly, but the members of the Armed Calvary Guards have struggled for a long time and have had no chance to escape from the organization’s control. Now that you’ve given us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I believe that all the members of the Armed Calvary Guards will definitely pledge their allegiance to you, obey your orders, and go all out to defeat the Qing Eliminating Societ
Noel said with a firm expression, “I think that those people ignored their ancestors' tragic experience and deep-rooted hatred, and they only care about their own interests. They would even betray their comrades whom they fought side-by-side with. They should be punished for this! What is the difference between them and Sloan Whinder, who in ancient times was a traitor who would betray his own country and kill the king with his own hands?!”Charlie did not expect that Noel would actually think of Sloan Whinder from hundreds of years ago when he mentioned traitors.However, he soon understood why. Most of the ancestors of these Armed Calvary Guards should be from ancient times, and back then, Sloan Whinder was the most treacherous official in the world.Not only did he put his army at risk for his own glory and wealth, but he also betrayed his own country and served as a pawn for the other party. He even committed many unforgivable crimes against his own compatriots. What was eve
After Noel had left the office, Charlie did not let the next person come in immediately. Instead, he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Porter asking him to land immediately according to the original plan and then go around the back of the copper mine to wait there.At this time, Porter had already brought the elite soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies, the seven members of the Armed Calvary Guards, 547, and the others to the Cyprus coastline by boat. They parked and waited less than ten kilometers from the coastline according to Charlie’s request. Over the next two hours that followed, Charlie did as he said and interviewed the remaining leaders of the Armed Calvary Guards at all levels.This also allowed him to discover four more treacherous people one after the other, all who intended to inform the organization of the true situation regarding the antidote in exchange for the organization’s approval. Charlie also continued to use the same method he used when he w
Just when all the members of the Armed Calvary Guards were starting to prepare to go to the auditorium, Porter and his entourage had also landed successfully and quickly went around the back side of the copper mine.Charlie ordered the special envoy, Lucian, and the Section Ambassador to go and meet them personally and bring the group directly into the office building.Aside from Porter, everyone else stayed in the conference room for the time being, whereas Lucian accompanied Porter to the office where Charlie was at.Upon entering the office, Porter bowed slightly to Charlie and said, “Mr. Wade, my subordinates and the team have already arrived, and we await your further instructions.”Charlie nodded and said, “I’ve asked the members of the Armed Calvary Guards to gather in the auditorium first. According to the plan, we will uncover the traitors among the Armed Calvary Guards and then hold a mobilization meeting for them. At that time, you will bring the seven members of the Arm
He looked at Porter for a long time before he asked in shock, “You... Porter?!”Porter knelt on one knee and said respectfully, “Master, it’s me, Porter, your disciple.”Pilos subconsciously asked, “You... What is your cultivation level now? Why can’t I see your cultivation level? Could it be... Could it be that you have exceeded the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm?!”Porter looked at Charlie and said truthfully, “Master, I was fortunate that Mr. Wade raised my cultivation level, and I am a Dark Realm expert now!”“What?!” Although Pilos subconsciously realized that this would be the case, he was still shocked when he heard Porter say it himself.His eyes widened, and he subconsciously said, “This... This is simply impossible! I’ve been stuck in the Illuminating Realm for nearly thirty years without being able to break through. We have only been separated for a year, so how could you break through the Illuminating Realm from an eight-star martial all the way to th
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
