With that being said, Kathleen paused slightly and continued, “I originally did not intend to use this plane, but when my grandfather heard that I was coming to Hong Kong to see you, he transferred the plane over to New York directly.”
Charlie nodded lightly and smiled as he asked, “How is Lord Fox doing lately?”
“Not bad.” Kathleen said truthfully, “There have been no serious health problems with his body during this short period of time, and he is also in a good mood. He is definitely in much better shape compared to before. Lately, he has also been talking about how he is eager to go and learn Tai Chi with others, saying that he wants to strengthen his body and try to live for an extra two more years.”
Charlie smiled and said, “It seems that Lord Fox is in good shape.”
“Yes.” Kathleen nodded and said, “He is indeed in much better shape compared to before, and this is all thanks to your help, Mr. Wade.”
Having said that, Kathleen said again, “Oh! By the way, my grandfather is determined to win the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill next year. He said that he must do whatever it takes to get the last whole Rejuvenating Pill.”
Charlie smiled slightly and asked her, “You are the head of the Fox family now. From your current perspective, do you think it’s worth it for the entire Fox family to spend hundreds of billions of US dollars on a Rejuvenating Pill?”
Kathleen thought for a while and said seriously, “It’s definitely not worth it if I were to look at it from the perspective of the head of the Fox family.”
“Even if the Fox family has a big industry and business, the real cash that can be taken out is only the value of a single Rejuvenating Pill.”
“Once the money is taken out, the entire Fox family will become a luxury jumbo plane with no money for refueling, and the turnover of many businesses will also be greatly affected.”
Having said that, Kathleen pointed at the luxurious floor inside the plane and said to Charlie, “When it really comes to the time of death, he will definitely agree without hesitation if he could use this private plane that costs more than five hundred million US dollars in exchange for even just one more day of life for himself.”
With that being said, Kathleen sighed, looked at Charlie, and said very sincerely, “Mr. Wade, if you’re willing to sell me a Rejuvenating Pill, I’m willing to hand over half of the Fox family’s assets, and I will never go back on my word.”
Charlie smiled noncommittally and said seriously, “The more people live, the more they will be afraid of death. Even if you do help him buy a Rejuvenating Pill next year and let him live for another twenty years, twenty years will eventually pass. He will be even more afraid of dying at that time. What will you do, then?”
Kathleen said very seriously, “I am not foolishly filial. As long as I can do a good job once, I will also have a clear conscience, then.”
Charlie nodded gently. After that, he secretly took out a Healing Pill in his hand and said to Kathleen, “By the way, I’ve prepared a small gift for you. I intended to give it to you just now, but I did not think of it.”
