Without waiting for Helena’s response, he eximed, “Don’t… don’t tell me… you… You simply want toe… to visit me. If it’s just a visit, then you… you are even… less qualified!”


    Noticing his rising anger, Helena remained calm and smiled. “Mr. Howard, I am the reigning Queen of Northern Europe. Two centuries ago, your ancestors had to curtsy before mine. Now, if you encounter me in public, you must bow, just as your forebears did. If you refuse to curtsey, people will say you disrespect the royal family, but they won’t question my qualifications to receive your respect.”


    Howard’s frustration mounted. Helena was correct about the etiquette; in European high society, even superficial respect for royalty must be upheld in public, or one risks facing ridicule from society. Even a former president would be mocked if he made a mistake while meeting the Queen of Britain.


    Feeling extremely disheartened, Howard shouted, “This… this is… the Rothschild… manor! It’s not… a public ce! I… I can have you removed… at any time!”


    At that moment, Howard felt an urge to ring the bell and summon someone to escort Helena out.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, seeing his evident anger, Helena maintained her smile and inquired, “Mr. Howard, what if I told you I have a way to restore your health immediately, even making you stronger than you were before your stroke? Would that make me qualified to discuss cooperation with you?”


    Howard scoffed at her im.


    He retorted angrily, “My… Rothschild… family… has the finest… medical… team in the world… none would… dare make such ims… You… why… would you?”


    Helena smiled confidently. “Your team cannot cure your condition, but I can.”<fnbc56> Find the newest release on </fnbc56>


    With that, Helena retrieved a vial from her handbag, presenting the blood-dispersing and heart-saving elixir. “This elixir originates from the ancient and mysterious East. If you take it, you can regain your former health. To ease your concerns, I’m willing to give you a free sample—just one-tenth of it—so you can experience its effects, after which we can discuss the price calmly.”


    Howard dismissed her offer with disdain. “I… I won’t… believe… in this crude… vulgar pill! Such… rubbish…cks any… scientific… credibility!”


    Helena replied with a hint of disdain, “If you trust in science, why are you still afraid of breaking thew? The Qing Society? They are far more scientific than what youprehend. How could they ever be your rivals?”


    Howard paused, momentarily taken aback.


    He was aware that the Po Qing Society was enigmatic, ancient, powerful, and ruthless, yet he struggled to grasp its true essence.


    As for Taoist practices, like many in the West, he did not believe in them at all.


    Noticing he was at a loss for words, Helena continued, “Mr. Rothschild, let me reveal the truth.”
