After getting the tactical plan that Fang Jueyu managed to obtain, the mbers of Team ZZ imdiately lost their appetite. Led by Wang An, they quickly entered the conference room and began a heated discussion.
"Old Fang, are you sure about that stuff of yours?"
"Don't worry, as long as the STT team doesn't play dirty and cut our internet, we can definitely beat them this match!" Fang Jueyu said confidently.
"That's not gonna fly. I'd better find a group to guard the power lines at the venue," Wang Cong joked, "They have a history with this kind of thing. If they really pull the plug, we won't have anywhere to complain."
"Hahaha, just wait for this year's finals when Jin Zhengzhe cosplays as Lakesi for our ZZ team!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop it. The image is already forming in my head... Ugh..."
"By the way, how long till the next match? Is there anything fun to do around here?" It was Fang Jueyu's first ti in Europe. Even though he'd been in England for several days, it was all various social gatherings, and he hadn't really had a chance to explore.
"Of course, I've got everything arranged for you!" Wang Cong smiled mysteriously and pulled out two invitations from his pocket.
The invitations were exquisitely crafted and elegant, even incorporating gold and other valuable tals. The invitation alone seed quite valuable, indicating the host must be soone of significant status.
"What's this?"
"An invitation to a private auction, originally ant for my dad. He's got an investnt deal to discuss these days, so he just passed it to !" Wang Cong handed one of the invitations to Fang Jueyu.
"Rothschild family?" Fang Jueyu noticed the signature on the invitation. Just the na alone was legendary to many; they were a powerful family in Europe, almost controlling the economic balance, with wealth in the billions of US Dollars, a real behemoth.
However, there were families more powerful than the Rothschilds, like the Saudi family, who owned the entire kingdom of Saudi Arabia, yet were still working for the Fang Family.
Fang Jueyu was no longer that clueless guy from before. Though the Rothschild family was wealthy and powerful, they were nothing compared to the Ladinic family, which controlled over one-seventh of Fang Jueyu's assets. They were just more low-key.
Nonetheless, for Wang Cong and the others, the Rothschild family was still formidable. Their influence was imnse across Europe, both in politics and finance.
This auction, they were rely the organizers. As for the sellers, most were anonymous since there were often shady items at the auction. If identified, it could be trouble.
"So, interested? I heard so good stuff will be up today. Forget the famous paintings; there's sothing you should definitely find intriguing!" Wang Cong smiled mysteriously.
"What is it?"
"One of the Zodiac animal heads, the lost dog's head from back in the day!"
"Oh?" That certainly piqued Fang Jueyu's interest. Many of the national treasures lost back then hadn't been recovered, and this was one of them.
"Hey, Xiaoyi, although my grandpa wasn't on Earth during that part of history, why didn't my dad and grandpa track these things down afterwards? With their capabilities, it wouldn't have been hard, right?" Fang Jueyu asked.

"Well, it's crucial to know where these things are first, you know?" Xiaoyi retorted, "Satellite technology, internet technology, these have only developed in the past few decades. Even if I can hack into any secret on your Earth, it's difficult to cook without rice."
"True, so can you find the whereabouts of the missing animal heads now?"
"There's one I can't find. It's probably been continually transferred and lost over ti. Still, it's no hard task. Just deploy a drone to scan the entire earth!"
"Is that sothing doable now?"
"With your current tech, no way, but I can help you!"
"Alright, I'll deal with that later. For now, I'll find a way to get the dog head back first!"
Fang Jueyu opened the invitation, which featured so exquisite images of items to be auctioned. The dog head was among them.
Apart from the animal head, Fang Jueyu also saw artworks by Picasso and Da Vinci, and sculptures by so sculptors. Almost half were art pieces, with astonishing starting prices.
"What on earth are these?" As he flipped further, Fang Jueyu found so strange items; they had no actual images, just a list of chaotic English letters looking like so kind of signal.
"What are these?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"No idea, first ti seeing them too. Probably so small website, haha!" Wang Cong joked.
"Ever seen a small site starting at 200 million US Dollars?" The prices were jaw-droppingly high.
"Who cares, I only brought 200 million US Dollars. Even if it's the Elixir of Immortality, I can only look!"
"Hahaha, you think you're Qin Shihuang?" Fang Jueyu laughed, yet only he knew that immortality wasn't a dream. If he could develop his potential to his father Fang Huai's level, living a thousand years wouldn't be all that difficult.
"Whatever, we'll deal with this later. Lao Wang, I want to get that item back!" Fang Jueyu declared.
"That's what I was thinking!" They exchanged a glance, "This ti my dad's given loads of money, told to bring it back at any cost!"
"Is the animal head worth a lot now?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"Yeah, last year the dragon head appeared at an auction. An anonymous buyer from Huaxia bought it for 15 million US Dollars. Judging by this auction's caliber and scale, it might exceed 20 million US Dollars!" Wang Cong had prepared 200 million US Dollars.
"You plan on forking out cash?" Fang Jueyu had an interesting look, "Ever seen soone steal your stuff and then sell it back to you?"
"Whoa, don't act rashly; this is no ordinary event. Security will be tight, not as easy as dining and dashing!"
"Pfft, I'm not that dumb!" Fang Jueyu said, "Once I find out the origins of this dog head, and if that seller is involved in its theft, I'll make them cough it up!"
Fang Jueyu slamd the table, "It's our stuff; there's no sense in paying for it!"
