98: Chapter 98 Arrival!

"Are these national treasure-level artifacts? Perfect, I can use them to fill up my collection area."

The villa at Ziyu Mansion has an underground level.

It even has a collection area inside.

However, it is still completely empty right now.

He had long thought about putting the collection area to use.

But he never found the time, and this time it just happened to work out.

"Brother System, how many mission targets are there this time?"

"You can't expect me to buy back everything that has flowed out of the country, can you!"

Shen Zhou couldn't help but ask.

Soon, a stream of information appeared in his brain.

It contained a detailed introduction to several treasures that would soon appear at the Sugade Auction House, along with detailed information about these items.

So, he started searching for relevant information online.

He quickly gained a general understanding of the value of these items.

"Shen Zhou, what are you doing?"

At this moment, a groggy Xue Shuangshuang walked out, rubbing her eyes.

"There is an Auction in three days, and I want to go buy a few things. Do you want to come with me?"

Shen Zhou held the mouse in one hand and pulled Xue Shuangshuang into his arms with the other.

"Sure. If that doesn't work, I'll just take two days off, or swap shifts with a colleague."

Xue Shuangshuang hugged Shen Zhou tightly.

After everything that happened last night, she couldn't bear to leave Shen Zhou's side at all.

"If you can't swap shifts or get time off, you can just quit."

"I'll find you a new job then."

Shen Zhou gently patted Xue Shuangshuang on the back.

"Ah..."

"Let me think about it some more."

Xue Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, but ultimately couldn't make up her mind.

Although she didn't like the profession of being a flight attendant.

She only had skills for this one thing right now.

If she left this industry, she really didn't know what she could do.

Even though Shen Zhou was rich, he couldn't support her for her entire life.

Besides, she really didn't want to just be a canary in a gilded cage.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say."

"We'll go get a visa in a bit."

Xue Shuangshuang took Shen Zhou to get their passports and visas, knowing the process well.

Before leaving, Shen Zhou hired two bodyguards, one male and one female, from back home.

Three days later, at the Magic City International Airport.

Xue Shuangshuang held onto Shen Zhou's arm, with the two bodyguards following behind them.

Xue Shuangshuang wore a large pair of sunglasses, covering most of her beautiful face.

But even so, her fair and delicate chin still attracted the attention of many.

The group took the VIP express lane and finished all the security procedures in just a few minutes.

Shen Zhou didn't hesitate to book the entire first-class cabin of the plane.

Just like that, there were no hitches along the way, and the four of them successfully landed on the European continent.

Before coming, Shen Zhou had already selected the top five-star hotel in the area, the Sofitel Hotel.

Even Shangri-La is a sub-brand of the Sofitel Hotel.

And the quality and style of the Sofitel Hotel itself need not be mentioned.

Just as the four of them landed, the hotel staff had already come to greet them.

A pure black Rolls-Royce was parked at the VIP exit.

"Mr. Shen, Ms. Xue, welcome to the European continent!"

A middle-aged woman greeted them enthusiastically.

The driver behind her and Shen Zhou's two bodyguards worked together to load the luggage into the car.

Soon, the group arrived at the front desk of the Sofitel Hotel.

The hotel receptionist was a blonde, blue-eyed woman wearing a purple uniform skirt.

Looking closely, the receptionist had a larger frame.

In comparison, Shen Zhou still preferred the petite and lively nature of Asians.

The receptionist's skin was decent, but she couldn't be compared to Xue Shuangshuang.

Moreover, after getting closer, the first thing he smelled was a somewhat overpowering scent of perfume.

"It seems I'll have to get used to being bombarded by perfume for the next while!"

Shen Zhou shook his head helplessly.

He had long heard that many foreigners have a very strong body odor, so perfume is basically a necessity for everyone.

It was indeed true!

"Mr. Shen, I am your private butler, Peter. I will provide you with 24-hour uninterrupted service for the duration of your trip!"

A middle-aged man in a suit walked over.

His hair was combed meticulously, though it was streaked with some gray.

His suit had some classical patterns engraved on its surface.

A strong European vibe wafted towards him.

However, the butler, Peter, immediately bowed slightly to show respect.

Shen Zhou nodded in acknowledgment.

This time, he had booked a suite that cost nearly 500,000 RMB per night in advance.

So it was normal to be equipped with a temporary exclusive butler.

"Mr. Shen, Ms. Xue, please follow me this way."

Peter led the way, and he was actually speaking Chinese.

"Your Chinese is very fluent. Are you of mixed Chinese and European descent?"

Shen Zhou asked with interest.

If Peter's appearance hadn't given him away, he would have suspected that this guy was a native Chinese person.

"Mr. Shen, I once studied abroad in China, and I have also traveled to that land several times."

Peter smiled slightly.

It was precisely because he was proficient in Chinese that the hotel had immediately assigned him as Shen Zhou's temporary butler.

You have to know, Shen Zhou had booked the presidential suite for a full ten days this time.

The total price was as high as five million.

Many private butlers had set their sights on Shen Zhou, this big spendthrift.

After all, based on past work experience, big spendthrifts of Shen Zhou's level were generally generous.

Therefore, the winner would definitely be able to get a substantial tip.

Walking along the way, one could see exquisite patterns engraved on the wallpaper of the hotel corridors everywhere.

But besides that, there were also quite a few modern-style decorations adorning the corridors.

This immediately gave Shen Zhou a unique feeling of walking between history and modernity at all times.

According to Peter's introduction, the carpet in the corridor was hand-woven from the Afro-Asian continent.

The cost of every meter of carpet here reached 100,000.

After entering the room, Peter guided the two bodyguards to put away the luggage for Shen Zhou and Xue Shuangshuang.

Then, he quickly and politely said goodbye.

The two bodyguards' rooms were next door to Shen Zhou and Xue Shuangshuang.

The price per night was also in the 100,000 range.

Shen Zhou would not be stingy about such things; after all, this concerned his own life.

"Shuangshuang, take a look and see which outfit I should wear tonight."

Shen Zhou opened the suitcase, and together with Xue Shuangshuang, hung up the suits one by one.

For this Auction, the two of them had gone on a shopping spree in Magic City beforehand.

They had even air-freighted more than ten suits to the hotel in advance.

These suits basically covered every typical color.

It was conceivable that the scene of this Auction would be crowded.

Based on the prices of the Auction items, it was enough to ensure that every bidder had a considerable net worth.

And Shen Zhou's goal tonight was to secure four top-tier national treasures.

Therefore, he naturally had to dress more appropriately; that casual outfit he usually wore definitely had to be changed.
