    “Certainly, Mr. Wade,” Helena replied with a respectful nod. “I haven’t transferred the proceeds from the sale of Howard’s medicine fromst time. I’ll make sure to send it to you this time!”


    charlie Wade inquired, “What was the selling price of the pill during ourst transaction?”<fn093d> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? Find?Novel</fn093d>


    Feeling the pressure of charlie Wade’s direct question, Helena knew she had to fabricate a response, which made her a bit anxious. She took a moment topose herself and replied, “Mr. Wade, we actually sold a total of 110 billion in cash. Based on your request for a 50-50 split, I should be giving you 55 billion US dors.”


    charlie Wade smiled and said, “Helena, the reason I asked you to liaise with Howard is that I prefer not to have direct contact with both of them at this moment. However, this doesn’t mean I won’t eventuallymunicate directly with Howard. How much did the pill sell for previously? When I finally meet Howard face to face, he will understand that his fate lies in my hands and will certainly reveal the truth.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Helena felt increasingly flustered upon hearing charlie Wade’s words and quickly replied, “Mr. Wade… I… I’m sorry… The actual sale price of the pill wasn’t 110 billion…”


    She hurriedly exined, “The agreement I had with Howard was for $60 billion, along with aplete set of AI models. However, since you asked for a 50% share, I felt the amount was too high for me to ept, so… I exaggerated and told you it was $110 billion…”


    charlie Wade nodded, realizing that Helena’s lie stemmed from her reluctance to take too much money from him. She had inted the total transaction amount to justify keeping arger portion for herself.


    Noticing charlie Wade’s silence, Helena grew anxious and said, “Mr. Wade… I truly apologize for misleading you… Please don’t be upset…”


    charlie Wade smiled and reassured her, “This isn’t about being upset or not. The primary reason I proposed a 50-50 split is that I am primarily interested in the AI model. To me, exchanging the elixir for the AI model is a highly beneficial deal. Any extra gains you manage to extract from this arrangement depend on your negotiation skills. That’s why I suggested we split this part evenly. If you manage to secure an additional 60 billion from Howard, it’s purely a bonus for me, and it’s only fair that you receive half of that.”


    Helena gently bit her lower lip and after a brief pause, said, “Mr. Wade… but that amount feels excessive…”


    charlie Wade waved his hand dismissively, saying, “The amount isn’t what matters. What’s crucial is that we have agreed on this arrangement. If you earn 600 yuan, I will give you 300 yuan. If you earn 60 billion yuan, I will also give you 30 billion yuan.”


    Without waiting for her response, charlie Wade continued, “After tomorrow’s delivery, you’ll assist me in selling half a pill to Howard. I won’t be sharing the 50 billion he pays with you at that time; this is purely a favor for helping me. When youplete the transaction with him, you can pay me a total of 80 billion US dors, which includes the previous 30 billion.”


    Helena expressed her embarrassment, saying, “Mr. Wade… while 30 billion US dors may not be a significant amount for you… for the Nordic royal family, that figure is astronomical. We… our royal family isn’t wealthy enough. Even if we had 30 billion US dors, we wouldn’t know how to allocate it…”


    charlie Wade replied earnestly, “If you’re unsure where to allocate it, just hold onto it for now. It’s not necessary to spend money just because you have it. In your Western culture, is it illegal to save money?”
