Chapter 2989: I Don't Want to Waste Time
Hearing Helena's words, Howard sneered.
He asked angrily, "My Ro... Rothschild fa... family... possesses the world's best... medical tea... team... they don't... don't dare to say such... such words... you... what... what do you rely on?"
Helena smiled, "Your team cannot cure your illness, but I can."
After saying that, Helena took out the Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill given to her by Ye Chen from her handbag and said to Howard, "This pill comes from the ancient and mysterious East. As long as you take it, you will recover as before. To dispel your concerns, I can give you one-tenth of it for free before we discuss conditions, so you can truly feel its efficacy. After that, we can talk about the price calmly."
Howard said with disdain without any thought, "I... I will not... not believe... believe in this crude... crude pill! This... this kind of garbage... has... has no scientific... scientific basis!"
Helena said with disdain, "If you believe in science, why are you still afraid of the Anti-Qing Society? Compared to science, are they a match for your Rothschild family?"
Howard was stunned for a moment.
He only knew that the Anti-Qing Society was mysterious, ancient, powerful, and cruel, but he did not quite understand what the true core of this organization was.
As for cultivation, like the vast majority of Westerners, he did not believe in it at all.
Seeing that he did not know how to refute for a moment, Helena continued, "Mr. Rothschild, to tell you the truth, I have never had the idea of getting closer to the Rothschild family from beginning to end. Let alone a marriage alliance, I don't even have the interest to be friends;"
"And the reason I appear here today is entirely just to talk to you about this business. So you don't need to doubt my motives. Since I came personally, I am bearing not only my personal honor but also the reputation of the Nordic royal family. So it is impossible for me to harm you."
After saying that, she took a water cup from Howard's hospital bed. Seeing that there was still about a quarter of water in it, she used a leaf-shaped brooch of her own to scrape about one-tenth of the Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill into the cup and let it dissolve.
Seeing her actions, Howard guessed that she was going to play hardball. He said nervously and hurriedly, "You... what are you... doing! I... I warn you not... not to mess around! If... if I have... have any mishaps... the Rothschild fa... family will never forgive you!"
Helena chuckled and asked him back, "Mr. Rothschild, do you think there is any benefit for me to harm you? If you die, not a penny of your trillion-dollar fortune will go into my pocket, and I will also have to bear legal responsibility and infamy for your death. As the dignified Nordic Queen, how could I let myself fall into such a situation?"
Howard knew that what she said made sense, but looking at her actions, he still said with some panic, "Then... then you... then what are you... doing with that... that pill?!"
Helena said indifferently, "Of course, it's to let you drink it first. You stutter too severely, and it's really too much effort to communicate with you. You drink this medicine, and when your stuttering eases a bit, we will communicate again. This can also save you some energy, don't you think?"
After saying that, Helena came to Howard's hospital bed. Seeing his terrified face, she added, "Sorry, Mr. Rothschild. Our Nordic royal family's usual style of conduct is very dignified. Being a bit rude today is also to save your time. Please understand."
Howard was terrified and said in panic, "You... don't come... don't come over..."
As he said this, he wanted to reach out and press the call button.
However, Howard had suffered a stroke after all, and his body was already hemiplegic. To put it bluntly, he couldn't even hold a cigar steady. In this situation, his body was even less obedient when he was nervous.
Helena did not give him a chance to resist. She reached out and pinched his cheeks on both sides, forcing him to open his mouth, and then poured the water with the dissolved Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill directly into his mouth.
Howard was so scared that his face turned pale. His legs wanted to kick and struggle, but he couldn't exert any strength while trembling. He thought Helena was really going to poison him to death, and he was almost scared to the point of fainting.
He originally wanted to spit out the water poured into his mouth, but Helena didn't give him a chance. While the water was still in his mouth, her other hand threw the cup aside, directly clamped his chin, and lifted it up sharply. She said indifferently, "Drink it!"
The moment Howard's chin was lifted, his esophagus also opened instantly, and the little water went directly into his stomach along the esophagus, drunk clean.
Howard's eyes were already full of terror. What he thought in his mind was that he might not have time to say goodbye to this world.
The next second, when Howard felt a different kind of warm current rising in his stomach, he was even more terrified in his heart, thinking, "Helena, this poisonous woman! She must have fed me poison! Now the poison is about to take effect, I... I am dead... It's a pity that I, Howard, have a lifetime of fame, I didn't expect to die so cowardly!"
Thinking of this, Howard blurted out angrily, "Helena! God will... will certainly let you go to hell!"
Helena nodded and asked back, "Why would God let me go to hell?"
Howard cursed, "You poisoned me! How... how could God... God forgive you!"
Helena smiled indifferently, "It seems your stuttering has improved a lot. Feel it again, have any other symptoms improved?"
When Howard heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and blurted out, "Eh?! Now speaking is really... really not stuttering much..."
After speaking, he tried to move his body and clearly felt that his control over his body had improved significantly compared to before!
He exclaimed instantly, "This... this is too magical, right?! Could it be... could it be the effect of that little bit of pill?!"
Helena pulled a tissue from the head of the bed. While wiping the hand that had just pinched Howard's chin, she sighed, "To deal with an old stubborn person like you, one really has to use some means."
After speaking, Helena added, "I told you earlier, this pill can not only cure your illness but also make your body better than before. Believe it now?"
Howard said hurriedly, "Believe it... I believe it! He... oh no... Your Majesty the Queen, can you... can you give me some more pills? I want... I want to try a more... more obvious effect!"
Helena shook her head, "Mr. Howard is in a high position and may rarely go to supermarkets. Although supermarkets and airports also have free tasting services, there is no category that allows you to eat your fill before considering whether to buy it or not. So, before the price is negotiated, it is impossible to give you any more pills. Please forgive me."
Howard said without hesitation, "Okay! If this... this pill... can completely cure me... I... I am willing to pay... one hundred million US dollars!"
Helena was stunned for a moment, then looked at her watch and smiled, "Sorry, Mr. Howard, I have something to do, so I'll go first. You recover slowly. Oh, by the way, if there's nothing else, don't let anyone contact me. I'm too busy usually and don't want to waste time. Goodbye!" ===== CHAPTER 2990 =====
