Charlie could just take the Rejuvenating Pill out and give it to Stephen if he wanted to. However, he stated a condition where he would give it to Stephen when h e needed it the most to gain Stephen’s trust and reliability. 4
It was not because he had any doubts about Stephen i n any way, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with being cautious under any kind of circumstances.
With the Rejuvenating Pill as bait, Stephen would definitely be more loyal to him. 5
As expected, upon hearing this, Stephen startled in awestruck and said gratefully, "Mr. Charlie, I'm really glad to hear you say this. I swear, I dedicate my life to you, and I'm willing to go through all kinds of treacherous routes for you!"
Stephen was not only a loyal man but also an intelligent one.
Although he had no idea what the Rejuvenating Pill was, he was able to get a glimpse of it through Yule’s current condition. 8
First of all, the magical elixir that Charlie had mentioned must be the miracle drug that could cure all diseases. It could even heal advanced pancreatic cancer which had an almost 100% mortality rate, so there may not be any disease in the world that it
couldn’t cure, s
Secondly, Yule looked even better than when he was healthy when he appeared on TV, which proved that the magical elixir not only cured his cancer but also prolonged his life.
With these two effects, the magical elixir could almost be called the greatest treasure on earth. 6
At this point, Stephen let out a sigh before continuing, "However, the foreign trading pattern of our domestic entrepreneurs had not improved the least bit for centuries even until your father grew up. On the other hand, Europe and the United States had dominated the transnational finance and trading brilliantly with stocks, futures, oil, gold, private equity funds, hedge funds, venture capital-all of which were these Western countries' ability and strength.” 5
"When Asian countries were still relying on hard labor to produce goods to be converted into money-a little bit at a time-through exports, these Western countries swept the Asian market with their cash through their hedge funds and wreaked havoc. Not only did they cause a financial crisis, but they also legally robbed our decades of fruits of labor, causing the collapses of finance, the stock market, as well as the housing market in Asian countries..."
"Back then, the Rothschild family aimed their bloodsucking fangs at the big families in Oskia. When everyone could only watch in horror as the gigantic foreign power was coming at them, it was your father who stepped forward and gathered the entirety of prominent families in Eastcliff to fight against the Rothschild family, which in the end forced them to retreat in disgrace, not daring to step foot in Oskia for over a decade..." 5
Upon hearing this, Charlie frowned. "If what you said i s true, these families in Eastcliff should be grateful to my father, but how did he offend them instead?"
