Chapter: 6159
In reality, the Rockefeller family itself controlled a significant portion of Everwise's shares through various institutions and individuals, and they had already reaped enormous profits from Everwise. Helena's concession of $100 billion indeed gave the Rockefeller family ample space to maneuver.
Although Howard didn't care about this amount of money, he was now being taken for a ride and naturally wanted to minimize his losses.
So, after hesitating several times, he gritted his teeth and said: "Alright! Just as Her Majesty said... $400 billion... plus an AI model that's not for sale!"
Saying so, he paused again, asking uncertainly: "Her... Your Majesty, if this magic pill can't cure my illness, then what do we say?"
Helena confidently replied: "It's impossible; it will definitely cure you."
As she finished speaking, Helena smiled slightly and said: "If Mr. Rockefeller feels unsure, we can sign the agreement first, you don't need to pay upfront, take the elixir, and confirm its effectiveness before making payment."
Howard listened to this and thoroughly eliminated all concerns, answering without hesitation: "No problem! Just as Her Majesty said..."
Helena nodded and pulled out her phone, smiling: "However, to prevent Mr. Rockefeller from playing tricks on me, I must record the entire process of signing the agreement and you taking the elixir in real-time using my phone, and send it to my subordinates, so that Mr. Rockefeller cannot leave all the risks with me. If you recover after taking the elixir and then give me a face full of regret, I won't be able to do anything about it."
Howard quickly said: "Her Majesty, don't worry... I... I won't play tricks on you... but... but if Her Majesty doesn't trust me, then leaving a record is also good!"
With both parties having reached an agreement, Helena directly pulled out her pen to refine the contract details.
The entire process was recorded on her phone, plus her identity as a Northern European queen and high internet traffic, she had no worry that Howard would dare to renege.
After both parties confirmed the terms of the agreement, Howard wrote his name on the contract, and then exchanged agreements with Helena. The contract thus became officially effective.
Everything was settled after that, and Helena collected the contract, closed her phone recording, and said: "Mr. Rockefeller, it's been a pleasure to cooperate!"
Howard asked her hastily, "Your Majesty... now... can you give me this elixir?"
"Of course," Helena said without hesitation, handing over the elixir and saying, "Although our Northern European royal family may not have much money, we always value the spirit of a contract."
Howard stretched out his hand to take the elixir, trembling slightly as he did so. Just as he was about to ask Helena how to use it, she spoke up first: "Just drink it straight down, okay?"
When Howard heard this, he no longer hesitated and directly took the elixir and put it in his mouth.
In an instant, the elixir transformed into a hot flow several times more concentrated than before, quickly flowing into his abdomen.
Howard felt as if he were like a deflated balloon being rapidly inflated. Originally unable to sit up on his bed, he suddenly felt his body regain its strength, and this sense of power was much greater than before.
With just a little effort, Howard sat up straight from his bed, and he was amazed to find that his body no longer had even the slightest twitch or tremble.
Excited to the extreme, he quickly tried to walk around. The result was that the strength and stability of his legs exceeded his expectations.
Although he wasn't paraplegic before, his body had already become somewhat weak. While he didn't need a cane to walk, his steps were still unsteady. However, now, after trying to walk for a few steps, he couldn't say it was like flying, but at least it was much more stable, with the force of his legs and the support when landing both greatly improved.
Recalling his paraplegic experience in bed, Howard felt an overwhelming desire to let out a triumphant "Ha ha ha!"
Excited to the extreme, he kept walking around in circles. He couldn't bear to stop moving, and with each step, his excitement and agitation only grew.
Helena was dazzled by him dashing back and forth before her eyes, causing her to feel dizzy. She then spoke up: "It's about time, Mr. Rockefeller, don't walk anymore, you still owe me some money." JrNovels.com
