Horizon's CTO then continued, "And after the photos have been stored—categorized by timestamps, the system will automatically refresh and replace the previous satellite images when the regulation time limit that is set by alphabet agencies expires."That said, Earth is still a huge place, and we need at least a couple of months to truly complete an up-to-standard photograph of the surface. That's why our data vault can provide users with satellite imaging of any corner of Earth, accurate to the last few months. It's both the main source of our income and the key ingredient that sets our software apart from the rest."Carl then butted in, "On the topic of income, Mr. Rothschild, my CFO will brief you on our latest financial forecast—""Patience," Julien held out a hand, stopping him. "I have other questions at the moment. For example, the imaging that the alphabet agencies asked to be stored—can you access it?""Yes," the CTO replied. "All imaging data is first relayed to our own se

Still, Carl could hardly contain his excitement as he exclaimed, "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Rothschild! I'm Carl Lucas, CEO of Horizon! Just call me Carl if you like!"Julien nodded and shook his hand before saying, "Greetings, Carl. I'm sure you understand why I'm here, so let's start a proper discussion in the meeting room."Carl quickly nodded. "Yes, Mr. Rothschild! Please, come with me." Julien smiled as he followed Carl with his squad of bodyguards trailing behind him to the board meeting room just one floor down.When they arrived, two other executives entered—only after the bodyguards searched them.To avoid chaos and congestion, Carl only brought his CFO and CTO.As Julien took his seat, he said, "Well then, Carl—please give me a rundown on the current state of Horizon."Carl nodded respectfully as he began, "Well, for a start, Horizon is currently home to almost eight hundred employees. This building where we sit, which is valued at around seventy million, serves

While the alphabet agencies held the reins over Horizon and enforced more than a few industrial restrictions, the Rothschilds were basically American thoroughbreds who could completely bypass any potential hindrances.Moreover, Carl and his shareholders had been keen to bail for a while now. As soon as they heard that the Rothechilds' heir apparent would personally be there to discuss a potential acquisition, they held a meeting, in which everyone unanimously agreed to work toward a sale of their shares and how much.Julien was just flying to Houston by the time they had already ironed out the details—if it was a singular buyout, they would fight for an asking price of at least three billion. It was a done deal if Julien could offer that much.On the other end, if Julien's offer came in an installment plan that lasted over a year but without other additional incentives, their asking price would be at least 3.3 billion, with a 10% increase per year.If it were an installment with ad

Julien knew very well that, given present circumstances, his father would provide him with anything he asked for as long as it wasn't out of line or too much that the geezer raised his eyebrows.And now that he had Harrison's assurance, Julien made arrangements to purchase Horizon, asking his confidants to handle the details and the paperwork before he headed to Oskia and reported the outcome to Charlie.-After Harrison and Julien left the palace, Julien quickly returned to his room and made the arrangements he had in mind to acquire Horizon.It was precisely during such transitions that one had to be quick, pulling connections and calling in favors to seal the deal as soon as possible. Naturally, it was also an opportunity to show Charlie his own strength.It seemed that Horizon hadn't been doing well in recent years. Their main income was to provide data rights to various companies that needed satellite imaging, like how navigation software companies would sell their map da

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
