I, the motherland, do whatever I want

That night.

Azu was wearing a suit and bow tie, sitting in a black luxury car, heading to the highest federal auction house.

It was the largest auction house in New York. The items auctioned often cost tens of millions. Even if it exceeded 100 million, it was not an unusual thing.

Tonight, Angelina will attend the evening auction as the president of Cayton Group.

At that time, the auction house will auction a piece of land, and Angelina plans to take it down to use it as Azu's private experimental base.

She had already gone to the auction house to prepare, and Azu was not in a hurry. After dinner, he slowly went to the auction house.

With the suit bracelet provided by Su Rui, Azu doesn't have to wear the suit all the time.

So tonight, he did not intend to participate in the auction as a native of the motherland.

Instead, he asked Angelina to write him an invitation letter using the name 'John'.

Normal people.

Unless you have any special hobbies, no one likes to run around wearing that tight-fitting suit all day long.

That thing was not as comfortable to wear as ordinary clothes, and Azu didn't like it just because of the breathability issue.

There was nothing he could do before, but now that he has Wakanda's vibranium suit, he can transform into a 'patriot' at any time, so he doesn't want to wear the suit all the time.

Taking a piece of information provided by Angelina, Azu glanced at it casually.

There were not many people attending the auction in the evening, but they were all respectable people.

Arnold, the president of Olga Company, is among them.

There are also some big groups and big families.

Among them is a wealthy man from Italy, Christer Hanke.

The Crist family has been in business for many years and has a rich heritage. Their wealth far exceeds that of Angelina's father.

Of course, one family member cannot mobilize all the property, and this 'Christer Hank' is not the successor of that family.

But his arrival shows that the Crist family intends to enter the federal development.

When putting down the materials, Azu looked out the window. The highest auction house in the Federation had arrived.

The auction house was built like a Greek palace, with a statue standing in the large square outside.

Azu got out of the car and entered the reception hall of the auction house.

Because the auction hasn't started yet, everyone who came to participate in the auction basically gathered in this hall.

The people who came to the auction tonight are not simple people. Looking at the past, in the brightly lit hall, the men are well-dressed and the women's long skirts are sweeping the floor.

There are both the president of the group and invisible rich people from some big families.

Whether it's the clothes or the decorations on the body, if the outfit is replaced by numbers, it will definitely look eye-catching.

The suits Azu wears are also expensive, but compared to most of the custom-made clothes here that are handmade by famous Italians, the price is far behind.

On the contrary, he was wearing the 'Traveler's Ring' on his hand. The sapphire also exuded a faint blue light under the bright lights, which was truly extraordinary.

Compared with those rings and watches worn by men, it is virtually a grade higher.

In the reception hall, men and women formed small circles, and low laughter could be heard from time to time. It was obvious that they knew each other.

Although everyone will be bitter enemies when they come to participate in the auction, at this time, no one wants to miss the opportunity to show off their connections and make more friends.

Azu didn't see Angelina, so he quietly walked to the corner, casually grabbed a glass of champagne, and waited for the auction to begin.

In the hall, everyone formed a circle of their own, and it was rare to see a person like Azu alone.

So when people looked at him, they all looked at him with various meanings.

Azu didn't pay attention to those looks at all, even if some of them seemed to question how a stranger like him could appear in such a situation.

At this time, a deep voice sounded: "Get out of the way!"

Then someone pressed on Azu's shoulder, trying to push him away.

However.

How could it possibly be pushed?

Azu remained motionless and even took a sip of champagne before slowly looking towards the person who pushed him away.

This solid Caucasian man, his plump muscles are outlined in his suit, wearing black sunglasses and Bluetooth headphones, looks like he is either a bodyguard or an assistant.

He probably didn't expect that he couldn't push Azu away, so he was stunned for a moment. Unfortunately, he was wearing sunglasses and couldn't see his eyes clearly.

The man said impatiently: "I told you to give way, do you hear me?"

"You're going to be in a lot of trouble if you get in Mr. Hank's way."

His words rang in the hall, and many people looked over.

Before Azu could say anything, he heard someone coming out from behind and saying, "Sir, please step aside."

"The next person to enter the hall is Mr. Christ Hank. Mr. Hank does not want to be disturbed before attending the auction."

Azu looked back.

It turned out to be a lobby manager. On the sign hanging on his chest, there was the other person's name: Berkeley Lauder.

Azu laughed: "Why, is he shameless?"

Suddenly, many ladies in the hall burst out laughing.

A few men also showed kind smiles, but most of them shook their heads, feeling that Azu didn't know the heights of the world.

Hall manager Berkeley Lauder thought to himself, how could such a fool exist.

Then I thought, the Crist family is a wealthy Italian family, and everyone in the federation who knows it is a big shot.

The guy in front of me looks kind-hearted, but is dressed in 'ordinary' clothes. It's not surprising that he doesn't know.

The lobby manager said in a deep voice: "Sir, please don't make trouble unreasonably."

Azu laughed and said, "I'm here to attend the auction. Strictly speaking, I'm also your guest."

"I'm just standing here drinking champagne, why am I being unreasonable?"

At this time, the bodyguard of the Crist family was impatient: "Mr. Hank is about to arrive."

The lobby manager quickly smiled and said, "I'll take care of it soon."

He looked at Azu: "Sir, do you have an invitation letter?"

"Our auction tonight is not open to the public. Only those who have received an invitation letter can attend the auction."

Azu took out the invitation letter Angelina gave him from his pocket and handed it over.

The lobby manager took it and opened it. He saw the name 'John' written on it, and asked the backstage to check, and found out that there was indeed such a person.

But after glancing at the bodyguards of the Crist family, the hall manager tore up the invitation letter and said, "I think someone made a mistake. Sorry, Mr. John, you are not on the invitation list."

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

"You couldn't have bribed the auction house to get in, right?"

"I heard that in order to do business for rich people, some people pay to bribe insiders of various high-end places to let them in and out of the places and take the opportunity to get close to those rich people."

"I really can't believe that someone would do such a thing now."

"You can tell by looking at his clothes. Who would wear stuff from a store to attend an auction of this caliber?"

The lobby manager raised his hand and said solemnly: "Mr. John, please come this way."

He whispered, "Please don't ask me to call security."

The corner of Azu's mouth raised with a bright smile: "Of course you don't need to call security."

He was about to crush this ant that dared to do harm to him, when he heard Angelina's voice.

"Mr. John is my invited guest."

"Who dares to let him go!"

Everyone in the hall looked forward, and Angelina dressed in a rich dress walked towards her like a queen.

Recently, as the successor of Cayton Group, he is also the vice president of Watt Company.

Angelina, a young girl, entered the world of the federal upper class and became the center of attention.

Now when she heard her say that the man in front of her was invited by her, the hall manager suddenly looked ugly. After all, he had just torn up the invitation letter.

"Ms. Angelina, please listen to my explanation."

Angelina walked over, bowed slightly to Azu, and then looked at the lobby manager's badge.

"Mr. Berkeley Lauder."

"you can go now."

"I will protest to the auction house later. As the hall manager, I was so rude to my friend."

"This is a major dereliction of duty!"

The hall manager suddenly broke into a cold sweat. If Angelina really did this, it is conceivable that the auction house would definitely fire him.

Angelina then looked at Azu, smiled and said, "Mr. John, please forgive me for being late."

"Please come with me so we can get in early."

Azu nodded, looked at the lobby manager, and said from the bottom of his heart: "You are so lucky, Mr. Berkeley, you have to thank this lady."

If Angelina didn't show up, Mr. Berkeley wouldn't just lose his job.

As for whether the lobby manager knew that he had already returned from a tour of hell tonight, Azu didn't care.

But when they were about to leave, a voice sounded from behind.

"Mr. Berkeley didn't mean it, Miss Angelina, are you making too much of a fuss?"

"Mr. Berkeley, don't worry, I will explain the situation to the auction house later."

"You'll be fine."

Azu looked back and saw that he was a rather young man, in his early twenties, with blond hair and blue eyes, and an Italian accent.

Angelina whispered: "He is Christer Hank, and he is also our biggest opponent in tonight's auction."

Christer Hank looked at Azu again.

"Who is this gentleman?"

"It must be something special for you to be greeted so respectfully by Miss Angelina."

"But it's strange that I don't know you."

Azu smiled, put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked forward, not wanting to communicate with him at all.

Angelina followed soon after, but she also had no intention of establishing friendship with the Crist family.

The young man who was left alone touched his nose and said with a dry smile: "It seems that I have been underestimated."

"In this way, I have to get the venue at night."

"After buying it, build it into a hotel and surrounding chain shopping malls. This will serve as the bridgehead for our Christ family to enter the federation. We must not lose anything in this battle!"

Next to him, the hall manager, who had saved his job because of Christ Hank, now respectfully asked the young wealthy man to follow him to the auction hall.

A moment later, the auction started. After all the guests in the hall left, Arnold from Olga Company arrived belatedly.

Although his figure was thinner than before, his face was unusually rosy. Arnold said as he walked.

"This is the Federal Auction House I told you about. I checked and there is a woman named Angelina among the guests tonight."

"She seems to be very close to the people of the motherland. When she was assassinated and injured in the Seven-person Tower not long ago, the people of the motherland rescued her and even cured her."

"So, if you can possess her, I think there should be a high chance that you can find people from the motherland."

Next to him was a black bodyguard. This bodyguard wore sunglasses and said with a cold expression.

"It better be like you said."

The two of them walked towards the hall.

If someone took off the bodyguard's sunglasses at this time, they would see that the black man's eyes were filled with fear.

He seemed to have no control over his body, words and actions.

At this time, the auction has begun.

The first item to be auctioned was a piece of jewelry said to have been worn by the consort of a medieval French king.

As soon as this piece of jewelry came on stage, many people competed. In the end, Harry Winston Wright, the largest jeweler in the Federation, took the photo of this gemstone necklace called 'God's Favor'.

Wright, 48, is the head of Harry Winston, the federal top jewelry company.

I took this piece of jewelry to prepare for the ‘World Jewelry Exhibition’ that will be jointly organized by jewelers from various countries in the near future.

Immediately afterwards, the auction house auctioned several items one after another, some were successful and some failed.

Half an hour later.

The host cleared his throat.

"Dear guests, what is up for auction now is a piece of land located in Southampton, New York."

Before the host finished introducing, someone raised a sign: "500 million."

The host was stunned for a moment.

Then pairs of eyes looked towards the sign holder.

The person holding the sign was none other than Krister Hank's assistant.

There was a lot of commotion immediately.

When people saw members of this big family arriving tonight, they all knew that the Crist family intended to enter the federal business circle.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Christ Hank arrived, he offered a high price of 500 million to buy a piece of land.

But before the host struck the hammer, he heard a clear female voice: "We will offer 1 billion."

Suddenly the whole venue was in an uproar.

People looked around and saw that the person raising the price and holding the placard was none other than Angelina in a full dress.

Some people with eyes couldn't help but communicate.

"The lady actually held the sign herself. With her status, she didn't have to go into battle herself."

"Then it can only be said that she is holding up a sign for someone else, someone with a higher status than her?"

Under such speculation, some people looked towards Azu.

Christer Hank remained calm, smiled and nodded to his assistant.

His assistant held up a sign and said: "1.2 billion."

As soon as she finished speaking, Angelina held up the sign without even thinking about it: "1.5 billion."

Crist's color finally changed, and he looked at the accountant next to him. His accountant wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief.

"Sir, if it exceeds 1.5 billion, this site will have no value."

"But we can't be defeated the first time we appear."

Krist glanced at the assistant and made a gesture.

The assistant nodded and said loudly: "2 billion."

Crist prepared for a quick victory.

But at this time, Angelina leisurely held up the sign: "2.3 billion."

"Crazy, crazy, this woman actually offered such a high price."

"You are determined to go against the Crist family."

"Is it worth doing this?"

Christ's face was gloomy. He adjusted slightly, then stood up and smiled.

"Ms. Angelina, if you are willing to give me this land, the Crist family will thank you."

Without even looking at him, Angelina held up the sign and said: "2.5 billion."

Krist felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and his face was burning.

He snorted and said in a deep voice: "Miss Angelina, since you are unwilling to let go, I can only stay with you until the end."

Azu over there frowned and glanced at Christ Hank lightly.

The latter was about to sit down, but suddenly his whole body froze, and then he laughed loudly.

"With all due respect, in front of our Crist family, all of you here are only allowed to carry our shoes."

"You guys should be honored and grateful that I'm sitting here with you today."

"After all, there are not many opportunities like this. Let me say it bluntly. If you want to make enemies of our family, you'd better think about yourself first."

"Don't be a clown who overestimates your own abilities."

Suddenly, Krist's words offended everyone in the hall.

The jeweler who had just photographed 'God's Favor' stood up and said solemnly: "Although the Crist family has a rich heritage, Mr. Hank, don't you think you are too arrogant?"

An old man also snorted and stood up: "Young man, even if your father is here, he wouldn't dare to talk to us like this."

"You are quite courageous."

Someone even pointed at Christer Hank and shouted: "You are not welcome here, please get out!"

The organizers were at a loss. Whether it was the Crist family or others, they did not want to offend.

At this time, I didn’t dare to leave the field and take sides.

Krist's eyes rolled and sweat broke out on his face, but he still laughed.

"You guys are also going to yell at me?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"I advise you to apologize to me quickly, otherwise, our Crist family will regard you as enemies."

At this time, even the people brought by Christer Hank were dumbfounded.

They don't know why their boss is so crazy. It doesn't matter if they say these things behind their backs. Are they saying it on this occasion because they are afraid that the Crist family doesn't have enough enemies?

These words completely angered the guests in the venue. In the end, the people at the auction house saw that something was wrong, so they had no choice but to leave the venue and asked Christer Hank to rest in the VIP room.

"No!"

At this time, Christer Hank suddenly shouted.

"That's not what I wanted to say just now."

"I'm being controlled!"

"Who is it, stand up!"

It's okay that he didn't say these words, but when he said these words, people regarded him as a mental patient.

In the end, Christer Hank was 'invited' out of the hall, and the area naturally fell into Angelina, or Azu's pocket.

After taking pictures of the venue, Angelina looked at Azu. Although she had no evidence, her intuition told her that Azu might have done this.

Master is really getting more and more powerful, no matter from every aspect.

At the back of the hall, Arnold chuckled: "This time the Crist family has been completely embarrassed."

He looked at the black bodyguard sitting next to him: "Aren't you going to take action?"

Arnold's eyes fell on Angelina in front of him.

The black bodyguard sitting next to him said in a deep voice.

"My gut tells me that it would be dangerous to approach her now."

Arnold was stunned for a moment: "What danger will there be?"

The black bodyguard shook his head: "I don't know, but I trust my intuition, and it has kept me alive until now."

Arnold shrugged his shoulders: "That's up to you."
