After several minutes of flight, the helicopter hovered above North Tower City. The Rothschild estate seemed to carve out a massive area from the city's landscape, resembling an ancient royal castle.
"This is actually an estate?" Fang Jueyu was impressed. Some small cities might be only this large. The cost of establishing such an expansive estate, even purchasing the land, must be astronomical. The Rothschild family was indeed a family with profound heritage.
"Young Master, this is just one of the Rothschild family's smaller estates in Europe. The building area is just over 100 hectares; it's nothing big," Zhuang Ying explained. "The largest estate you own in Europe is fifty times this size."
"Fifty times? That would be 5000 hectares?"
"Yes, there is an exceptional vineyard there, and most of your red wine is produced from that estate."
"We must visit it when we have the chance."
To welcome the guests, the Rothschild family reserved a large area for the private jets of the wealthy. However, most private helicopters only had a few seats. The appearance of Fang Jueyu's colossal craft immediately drew significant attention.
At nearly twenty meters in length and over five meters in height, those private helicopters seemed like dwarfs in comparison.
"Whose massive helicopter is that, coming with the whole family?"
"I know that aircraft, it should be the SH-3 Sea King helicopter. I heard the President of the United States has one . This person must be significant!"
"Ha, of course. At such an auction, most of the world's wealthy should gather here. It's not surprising, but some items will undoubtedly be fiercely contested."
Elsewhere in the square, a group of Asians, with slightly shorter statures and somewhat scruffy appearances, descended from a helicopter.
They examined the helicopter with interest, but their expressions were far from relaxed. They were from the Sun Country, neighbors to Huaxia, here on a special mission.
Their target was not the animal head or other rare treasures, but something very special and of significant national importance.
"Do we have enough funds this time?" one of them said in an icy voice.
"Don't worry, Lord Shingen. We've prepared over 50 billion US Dollars. We're definitely qualified to compete for that item!"
"Don't get too excited too soon. Representatives from many countries are vying for it. Their funds match ours, so it will be an intense contest," Lord Shingen replied.
"Who owns that helicopter? Is it someone from the United States?"
"Not entirely sure, but as far as I know, the Americans shouldn't be here for that specific item. After all, they were the first to try creating it."
"Good, as long as they're not coming, let's go in."
They donned their masks and moved deeper into the estate...
"There are indeed many people here today!" Fang Jueyu and Wang Cong, each wearing a mask, walked at the front. Zhuang Ying and Gu Yi followed them. It was rare not to conceal one's appearance like Gu Yi. Most people were either supremely confident about their backgrounds or simply here to broaden their horizons, unconcerned about being seen.
"About a thousand wealthy individuals were invited, plus their aides and bodyguards, so there will certainly be thousands of people," Zhuang Ying said.
"Young Master, this auction isn't that simple," Gu Yi whispered in Fang Jueyu's ear. "I sense many superpower users, and some people with a heavy militant aura."
"What do you mean by a 'militant aura' in ordinary people?"
"Oh?" Fang Jueyu raised an eyebrow. If it were a typical auction, such people shouldn't appear here. Most items would be antiques or famous works, which should hold little value for soldiers. Moreover, they wouldn't have the time to leave military duties to attend an auction.
Thus, the items at this auction were very intriguing.
"Could they be the unnamed items?" Fang Jueyu speculated.
"How do we get in?" They reached a building resembling a grand theater, with strict security at the entrance. To enter, one had to present an invitation. Zhuang Ying had mentioned they had a VIP room.
"Young Master, please follow me," Zhuang Ying led them around the side. On the building's side, there was a remarkably hidden entrance, where a short, portly middle-aged man was looking around.
Zhuang Ying removed her mask and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Colt, long time no see!"
"Oh! Miss Zhuang Ying," the middle-aged man beamed with delight. "I've been waiting here for you for a long time."
"Have you arranged everything?"
"Hahaha, no need for arrangements. Our Ladinic family has never needed invitations to participate in any events in Europe!" The middle-aged man spoke with thick confidence and pride.
"This... this must be the Young Master?" Overwhelmed with excitement, the middle-aged man's voice quivered slightly.
"Yes," Zhuang Ying smiled. "Young Master, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Colt Ladinic. The communication between our Zhuang Family and the Ladinic family is mostly handled by Mr. Colt. He's definitely interacted with us the most."
"Oh, hello, Mr. Colt." Fang Jueyu removed his mask.
Upon seeing Fang Jueyu's features, Colt almost shed tears of emotion. In their family tree, they always had a portrait of one person, the most important figure of the Ladinic family, Fang Yang.
Fang Jueyu's appearance was nearly identical to the photograph of Fang Yang!
"Young Master, I've finally met you!" Colt exclaimed, shaking Fang Jueyu's hand, "Welcome to Europe!"
"We appreciate everything your family has done over the years!" Fang Jueyu said.
"It's our honor! Everything we have comes from the Fang Family. Our Ladinic family will always be the most loyal servants and supporters of the Fang Family!" Colt replied earnestly.
"Young Master, let me lead you inside." Colt took the lead, guiding them forward.
"Excuse me, this is the VIP section entrance. Could you please show your invitations?" Security personnel guarded the VIP area entrance.
"Young Master, these two are superpower users, their strength probably around S-level," Gu Yi whispered.
Fang Jueyu nodded. It wasn't surprising for such an ancient family to have a few superpower users.
Colt shifted from his humble demeanor. He opened his suit jacket, revealing a Fang Family emblem on his shirt.
The two guards were stunned. They knew what this symbol represented. It was an indomitable force across Europe, the face of the Ladinic family, where just showing the symbol would suffice!
Colt calmly buttoned his jacket, saying, "Do we still need invitations to enter now?"
