Chapter: 6511

Su Shan was taken aback by Helena's attitude, feeling that it wasn't right to reject Howard's request. However, Helena's determination was unshakeable, and she knew she shouldn't intervene further. She could only cast a glance at the old empress queen beside her, hoping for some guidance.

Su Shan didn't know why Helena rejected Howard, but the old empress queen knew the reason. Howard had come to seek an audience with a 20-something northern European princess, not because he truly respected her. Everything was due to the influence of behind-the-scenes figures like Leaf and his magical elixir.

So, it was only natural for Helena to be somewhat proud in front of Howard, as when you become the representative of a strong entity, you must face others with sufficient strength. Otherwise, you're not just losing your own face, but also that of the strong entity behind you.

And so, she gave Su Shan a signal to retreat first.

Su Shan noticed that the old empress queen's expression was also subtle and intentional, so she immediately understood the situation and took her leave with a nod.

Helena smiled at Leaf and said, "Mr. Leaf, I think Howard probably wants to confirm some details about the elixir with me again. He's most concerned now is that I'll find an excuse to delay his inspection and then hold back half of the elixir."

Leaf nodded and said, "He's like a construction company that has paid all the upfront fees; he's done everything he can do, and what he fears most is that the client will inspect the project after receiving the payment and then delay paying him."

Helena asked him, "Mr. Leaf, should I delay him?"

"Yes!" Leaf nodded and said, "After we transfer control of the AI model, we not only need to transfer control but also conduct in-depth testing. These require time, and until everything is confirmed normal operation, the elixir won't be given out. Then let him wait at North Europe for your summons."

"Okay, Mr. Leaf!" Helena followed Leaf's instructions naturally.

After that, the four of them moved to the palace hall for a more convenient conversation, and after sitting down together, Helena had all her attendants withdraw and personally poured wine for Leaf and the old empress queen. She then looked at Lin Wan'er and smiled, asking her, "What do you want to drink? Is orange juice okay?"

Lin Wan'er giggled and pointed at the red wine in Helena's hand, saying, "I'll just have the red wine too."

Helena hurriedly asked, "Is Wan'er already 18 years old? In North Europe, anyone above 18 can only drink low-alcohol drinks."

Lin Wan'er nodded, looking at Helena's bright and clear eyes, smiling as she said, "Don't worry, sister. I'm already 18."

Helena was still somewhat worried, and couldn't help but look at Yue Chen, her face filled with solicitude.

Yue Chen coughed twice and said to Helena: "Go ahead and pour it for her; after all, North European laws can't touch her."

Helena then didn't ask any more questions and poured some red wine into Lin Wan'er's cup.

After drinking one cup of wine, Lin Wan'er's face turned bright red, like a ripe apple, and Helena couldn't help but worry that she might be an underage drinker who couldn't hold her liquor.

Luckily, though, Lin Wan'er only got a little flushed from the wine and didn't seem drunk at all, so Helena relaxed slightly.

Just then, Yue Chen opened his mouth to say: "Helena, can you help me find a farm in North Europe?"

"What kind of farm?" Helena asked in surprise. "Is it one that focuses on growing crops or raising livestock?"

Yue Chen said: "The better the combination of both, as long as the environment is good and the location is safe and quiet."

Helena nodded: "I'll instruct someone to find a suitable one later, and once I've got the right information, I'll send it over to Mr. Yue."

Yue Chen added: "If we find a suitable one, I'll trouble you to use your royal connection in North Europe to help me buy it."
