When Steve returned to the grand hall, his father Howard had not yet made an appearance. As he settled into his seat, Howard returned with the elixir concealed in his pocket, a mix of joy and sadness etched on his face.
Steve scrutinized his father's countenance, hoping to discern any signs of youthfulness after his private meeting with Helena. If his father had indeed acquired Charlie's elixir from her, it would be evident in his appearance.
But to Steve's surprise, his father appeared unchanged from just ten minutes ago.
In his heart, a thought began to form, "Could it be that despite his efforts in the Nordic region, my father couldn't obtain even halfa pill from Charlie?"
The thought brought a sense of delight to Steve. He surmised that Charlie had not given the elixir to his father, but instead met with him privately, perhaps intending to gain more leverage over him in the future.
