Harrison had yet to return when Julien returned to the banquet hall.It was only when he took his seat that Harrison showed up, his half-pill tucked safely away, but his expression somehow miserable and delighted all at once.Julien's eyes remained fixed on his old man's face to see if he had rejuvenated after his private audience with Helena.If yes, that proved that Charlie's pill was part of a trade with the queen.As such, it was quite strange that he couldn't see any difference on his father's face from before, and he was left musing to himself—the old geezer had worked blood and sweat on this project, but it still somehow hadn't gotten him half a pill from Charlie?And if Charlie had met him in private yet also hadn't given Harrison the pill, didn't that mean Charlie was placing his bets on him?Just the thought alone thrilled Julien, still blissfully unaware that his father had his half-pill tucked safely in his pocket.Harrison definitely couldn't wait to take the pill,

Helena smiled. "Well, that depends entirely on what you do. If you do well, forget half a pill—you might even be allowed to buy one whole pill, or even two!"Harrison naturally didn't know that Helena was gaslighting him, and he held her words as a solemn vow.He was definitely delighted as he knew there were only that many pills, and one less pill for someone else was one more pill for him.It would only be hopeless if he couldn't get one when he was on the verge of dying.But if Charlie was willing to sell him one or a couple, he could live well beyond a hundred!-Meanwhile, Julien was left gaping at Charlie, who had just asked him to purchase Horizon, the biggest American photo reconnaissance satellite company.While Julien wasn't sure why Charlie would want Horizon, he had a hunch that it was important."So, I'll hand over the company after a buyout?" He asked.Charlie shook his head. "No. Just oust as many shareholders as you can after taking a controlling stake, after w

Just watching Helena ready to take the half-pill left Harrison utterly uncomfortable and blurting out, "Your Majesty… Wait!"However, Helena only waited until the half-pill melted into a stream of warmth gushing down her stomach, feeling the revitalizing medicine when she finally turned to Harrison, "Yes, Mr. Rothschild? Why the sudden outburst?"Harrison was left clenching his knuckles, seeing that she had already taken the entire pill. "Your Majesty… How could you just take the pill…"Helena appeared mystified. "What's the issue? You only bought half of it. Am I breaking some sort of rule here?"Realizing he was being rude, Harrison quickly said, "M-My apologies, Your Majesty… That's not what I meant… I mean, you're still young, healthy, and full of vigor… It's such a waste…"Pausing as he realized 'waste' was once again seemingly rude, he quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no… I just meant to say… I could have bought that half-pill too. I would have paid fifty billion or even mo

The pill was no more than a few grams, and it was even lighter after it was cut in half. If anything, Helena's cutting was so close to the middle that it made it even harder to measure, so trying to decide if one was lighter needed precision scales.Harrison weighed both halves in his palm for a long while, but he couldn't feel any difference.His gut swelling with regret, he sighed audibly, "If I knew this would happen, I would have just brought a pocket weighing scale…"Helena smiled. "There's really no reason to get so fussy, Mr. Rothschild. Both halves are pretty much the same."Harrison nodded but said, "I agree, but if this pill is 10 grams, that means each gram is worth 5 billion dollars. It's probably the most expensive object known to exist, so even if it's 0.1 gram, that's still 500 million…""That's true," Helena smiled and nodded. "But as much as it's wise to be calculative, there are times when one just has to take a leap of faith. In fact, a mentor I adore just told

Harrison hesitated for a moment. However, as Helena was basically saying what he was thinking, he decided to dispense with idle conversation and nodded respectfully, "I'd never lie to you, Your Majesty. I'm old, but I still came all the way here to oversee the AI module handover because I really want that miraculous pill."Pausing to catch his breath, he then continued, "And now, the handover is complete. Rest assured, the module is equipped with the best and newest chips NVIDIA has to offer. Just the other day, the video processing should be enough to prove that it's a far cry from the other AI software available to the general public these days."Even if they can make their stuff look real, the flaws and inconsistencies are as clear as movie CGI these days. On the contrary, our AI module's processed video looks absolutely real, and as long as you don't ask for anything absurd, not even experts could tell a thing."Helena nodded quietly, as Harrison was right—those online AI soft

It was only then that Charlie made a serious face and told Helena, "You need to be sharp instead of hesitating at every turn. Just do as I say without hesitation."Helena's heart skipped a beat as she was reminded of the time Charlie had lost consciousness while she lay naked beside him.It was because she wasn't determined at that moment that nothing ever happened in the end.Regret swelled in her mind, leaving her with a mix of emotions as she sighed inwardly, and she thought to herself that if she had been more determined, as Charlie had said…Still, she was looking downward at the pill she was holding before she knew it. When she looked up again, her expression and tone were determined. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I'll never hesitate again and be determined to see things through to the end."Charlie had no idea what she was actually thinking, and he nodded with a contented smile. "You are a queen who stands above millions. Being determined is a necessary virtue, and you need to
