Chapter 3180: Ate it?!

"Wait... wait, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Helena eat the pill, Howard was incredibly nervous and blurted out subconsciously.

Helena, after the pill turned into a warm current in her mouth and flowed into her abdomen, asked Howard with a feigned doubt while feeling the refreshing medicinal power: "What's wrong, Mr. Rothschild? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Howard, seeing that Helena had eaten the pill completely, said with grief and indignation: "Your Majesty... you... why did you eat that half pill..."

Helena asked with confusion: "What's wrong? Mr. Rothschild only bought half of it. Is there any problem with me eating the other half myself? Is it wrong for me to eat my own pill?"

Howard realized that he was a bit offensive, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty... I... I didn't mean that... I just... I just feel that you are so young, so healthy, and so full of vitality, eating this kind of pill is really... really a waste..."

After speaking, Howard felt that the word "waste" seemed a bit inappropriate, and hurriedly changed his words: "Your Majesty... I... I didn't mean that either... I just... I just hope to buy that half pill too... And I am willing to spend 50 billion US dollars or more... But you ate the 50 billion US dollar pill so casually... I... I am indeed a bit regretful..."

Helena smiled and nodded, and said: "I didn't think about these when I ate it. After all, you bought half, and I was too lazy to put the other half away, so I just ate it."

After speaking, Helena looked at Howard, who was on the verge of collapse, and added: "Besides, Mr. Rothschild, don't forget, what I promised you is the purchase right of half a Sanxue Heart-Saving Pill, not one. Even if you pay another 50 billion US dollars, I will not sell this half pill to you."

"Why..." Howard, who was old, felt aggrieved like a seven or eight-year-old child. He subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, if you say this pill is not yours, you help someone else sell me half, and you have to take the other half back to its owner, then I can understand if you are unwilling to sell it to me. But... but you would rather eat it yourself than exchange it for 50 billion or even more US dollars. Could it be... could it be that 50 billion US dollars is so insignificant in your eyes?"

Helena smiled: "When a person has a higher pursuit in life, money is just a number. In my future life, I may not be able to spend even 500 million US dollars, let alone 50 billion. When 500 million US dollars can't be spent, what is the meaning of 50 billion?"

Howard was stunned for a moment. He couldn't figure out why Helena didn't take 50 billion US dollars seriously. Could it be that someone really didn't love money?

Even himself, after possessing endless wealth, was still not satisfied and hoped that life could create higher peaks. Helena, as the Queen of Northern Europe, really looked at 50 billion US dollars so lightly? 【31

Soon Helena received a notification that the cash had arrived.

50 billion US dollars is indeed a huge sum of money. For many top companies and families, wanting to come up with so much cash would probably require selling off family assets to achieve it.

But for the Rothschild family, 50 billion US dollars was very easy. Even if they paid such a huge amount of cash in one go, it would have no negative impact on them; it was nothing more than a few less digits in their bank account balance.

Since she had received the payment, Helena did not wait for Howard to urge her, and immediately took out a small folding knife about the length of a thumb, carefully found the center of the pill, and cut it into two.

Afterwards, Helena pointed to the two pills of similar size on the table and said to Howard: "Mr. Howard, you may choose one."

Howard was overjoyed upon hearing this and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen, then I will feel them out to see which one is more suitable to choose."

Having said that, he was about to step forward to weigh which of the two pills was more or less.

Helena stopped him, took out a pair of disposable gloves and handed them to him, smiling: "Mr. Howard, after all, it is something that will be ingested, so it is better to pay attention to hygiene."

Howard quickly took the gloves and put them on, then carefully placed the two portions of the pill in the palms of his two hands.

A pill only weighs a few grams in total, and the weight of half a pill is even more negligible. Moreover, Helena had cut it quite centrally, so the weight difference between the two was even harder to estimate. If he wanted to know which one was lighter or heavier, he would probably have to use high-precision equipment like a balance scale.

Howard weighed them for a long time, but indeed could not feel the difference between the two pills at all, and couldn't help but regret: "If I had known this, I would have brought a small balance scale..."

Helena smiled and said: "Mr. Rothschild, these two portions of the pill won't differ by much, there is no need to be so serious."

Howard couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty the Queen, this pill is about 10 grams, so half is about 5 grams, and its price is 50 billion US dollars, which means every gram is worth 10 billion US dollars. This is probably the most expensive substance known in the world. Even if the two differ by only 0.1 grams, that is a full 1 billion US dollars."

Helena smiled and nodded, saying: "It is not unreasonable for Mr. Rothschild to say so, but sometimes people cannot calculate everything. Sometimes you just have to take a gamble. To tell you the truth, not long ago, someone I admire very much told me that one must be decisive and firm. Instead of hesitating, wavering, and worrying about gains and losses here, it is better to simply take this step and make your move without regrets."

Howard sighed: "Your Majesty the Queen is very right, I was being too pedantic."

Having said that, he put down the half pill in his left hand, held up the half in his right hand and said: "I will choose this half."

Helena asked him: "Are you sure? If you are sure, you cannot go back on it."

"Sure, sure! Very sure!" Howard also knew very well in his heart that there was no point in him hesitating here. The weight difference between the two portions of the pill might really be only 0.1 grams or even less. It was impossible to find professional equipment to distinguish which was heavier or lighter at the moment. Instead of being wishy-washy and hesitant here, letting a young girl like Helena laugh at him, it was better to be decisive.

Helena nodded and said: "Since that is the case, Mr. Rothschild can take the half pill you chose."

Howard subconsciously wanted to put the pill into his mouth, but then he thought that his son Steve was waiting for him in the banquet hall not far away. If he took this pill and became radiant, he would definitely be seen through by him after going out.

Although he was already very obedient and sensible, he shouldn't stimulate him too much. Otherwise, even if he didn't have the heart to rebel, if he himself kept getting younger and in better condition, it might instead stimulate him and force him to rebel.

Thus, he carefully tucked it away to keep it close to him, and then said to Helena: "Your Majesty the Queen, I intend to keep this pill for now and take it after I return to the United States."

Helena also guessed what he was thinking and smiled slightly: "Our transaction is complete, the item is yours now, and you have 100% autonomy to decide."

Having said that, she reached out and took back the other half of the pill.

Seeing her take the half pill away, Howard's heart rate accelerated instantly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the Queen, I have one more request, I wonder if Your Majesty the Queen can agree!"

At this moment, Howard was thinking that there was clearly half a pill left, and wondered if he could say some nice things to Helena and pay to buy this other half as well.

50 billion US dollars, or even more expensive, it didn't matter. Anyway, he had already earned enough money, and now it was time to use money to buy himself a longer life.

Helena heard his plea and guessed what he was going to say, so she smiled and said: "Mr. Rothschild, there is no need to be so polite. Just say whatever is on your mind, and I will consider it accordingly."

After finishing, she very casually brought the half pill to her front, and under Howard's gaze, she put the pill directly into her mouth as if she were casually eating a piece of chocolate.

Howard was still organizing his language in his mind, thinking about how to open his mouth to Helena, when he immediately saw a scene that made his brain atrophy.

Helena actually didn't wait for him to speak, and just directly... ate... the half pill he had been dreaming of!
