Charlie did not expect Kathleen to be willing to use Patek Phillipe and Rolex, which were two well-known watch companies, in exchange for a Healing Pill from him.
Still, when Charlie thought about it carefully, her grandfather, Jordan, was a top wealthy man, and using twenty billion US dollars in exchange for three to five years of life was still a very good deal.
After all, the Rejuvenating Pill could be sold for more than three hundred billion US dollars. One would also be able to sell the Healing Pill for one-tenth the price of the Rejuvenating Pill.
In truth, Charlie knew very well that although Kathleen was saying these words jokingly, this was, in fact, what she really wanted.
However, if she spoke in such a joking tone, she would leave enough mediation room for herself, and she would be able to either go forward or retreat.
If he expressed that he would not be willing to sell the Healing Pill, she would definitely say that she was just joking so that she could brush off this situation easily.
However, if he were to go along with her words and express interest in selling the Healing Pill, Kathleen would definitely put her joking attitude aside and have a serious and in-depth conversation with him.
Charlie could not help but sigh because of this as he thought to himself, ‘Kathleen is indeed extremely smart. She can judge any situation very clearly at any time and under any circumstances, and she also has precise control over the rhythm, which is truly remarkable.’
As Charlie thought of this, he could not help but ponder, ‘However, Kathleen definitely will not have thought that I am already planning to give her a Healing Pill.’
As Charlie thought of it, he suddenly felt like teasing Kathleen.
He knew that Kathleen could retreat or go forward as needed now, and she seemed to be in control of the initiative, but Charlie also knew that he had a trump card, and that was to deliberately pretend to be muddled and confused.
