I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 209 - 207 Rothschild Family Master
Zhang Menglong’s conversation with those wealthy businessmen had attracted quite a few onlookers, but because of the language barrier and some distance, bystanders couldn’t make out exactly what had been said.
However, given their hasty and embarrassed departure, some people wondered if they had also suffered at the hands of Zhang Menglong.
"I remember now, he’s that Huaxia guy named Zhang Menglong!" Finally, someone recognized Zhang Menglong.
"Is he that same Huaxia guy who nearly crashed the economy of Qingqiu Country? He looks so young, though?"
"Hahaha, I still remember that song, ’Just like this, steam-cooked by you!’"
"Friend, you got it wrong, it’s ’Just by the sunlight, you conquered me!’"
"No no no, it’s ’Just this dame, conquered by you!’"
...
Confirming Zhang Menglong’s identity, it seemed not too far-fetched that he could acquire a destroyer and discomfit the world’s top-level rich folks, making them leave crestfallen.
But this brought even more attention to Zhang Menglong. An individual with the halo of "the real world’s richest man" was bound to be the focal point wherever he went.
"Let’s go, we should head to the venue!" Zhang Menglong felt somewhat embarrassed by these gazes. Experience more tales on novelbuddy
"Sure!" The group nodded and, led by an employee of the Rothschild family, they boarded the shuttle service between the hotel and the port, heading towards the hotel.
"Let’s all go too!"
"Yeah, there shouldn’t be anyone else particularly special showing up!"
Having seen such an entrance, no matter what other ways there might be, it was unlikely that anything would surprise these wealthy individuals again; and with the evening event about to start, everyone headed straight back to the hotel.
By this time, the hotel was bustling with people. Guests who had come for the auction tidied their rooms and had all gathered on the hotel’s private beach.

With fine wines, gourmet dishes, music, and lighting - although somewhat envious - there was none of the bar’s noise and chaos. Surrounded by well-dressed tycoons in suits and their female companions, the place had turned into a large, top-level social gathering.
Zhang Menglong and the others casually found a spot and gradually immersed themselves in the elegant atmosphere around them.
"Wow, there really are a lot of people!" Wang Ling looked around at the crowd, "Hey hey hey, look, isn’t that Kristen from Twilight City?"
Zhang Menglong followed Wang Ling’s gaze and indeed, not far away, a blonde beauty was laughing and chatting with several tycoons, one of whom looked vaguely familiar to him, seemingly a big shot in the energy business.
"What’s so strange about that," Zhang Menglong laughed, "In such a setting, it’s normal to bring a presentable female companion. If you had the money, wouldn’t international movie stars be at your disposal to choose from?"
"Look there!" Zhang Menglong pointed in another direction, "Emma from Harry Potter! And there’s AnnaSophia..."
"She is indeed! Even more beautiful in person than on camera!" Wang Ling didn’t hide his admiration at all; in Western countries, praising someone stealthily was regarded as creepier behavior.
"Here it comes!" Just then, a commotion arose around them, and a path wide enough for three to five people to walk through suddenly opened up in the crowd. A middle-aged man, appearing to be in his forties, walked over from the nearby hotel with a slight smile on his face.
"Who’s that!" Zhang Menglong asked, "What a grand entrance!"
"I don’t recognize him either," Wang Ling couldn’t remember where he had seen that face before. Logically speaking, someone who could make those top-tier tycoons give way and clear a path should not be an unknown minor figure.
"Mr. Zhang, this is Biros Rothschild, the second son of the current head of the Rothschild family. He is in charge of organizing this auction," Ye Yin immediately introduced to Zhang Menglong.
"Oh, a member of the Rothschild family, no wonder," Zhang Menglong said, showing a look of realization. Although none of the members of the Rothschild family appear on the Forbes rankings, that doesn’t mean anything. The wealth and power of this family are enough to rival a nation!
Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Biros did not head directly to the chairman’s stage but walked straight in the direction of Zhang Menglong.
"Look, Mr. Biros is walking towards that Easterner over there!"
"That face looks familiar, why do I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before?"
"That’s Zhang Menglong! Have you forgotten? He was in the international news not long ago. It’s said that his grandfather was the instigator of that economic crisis in the 20th century."
"Really? Is that true?"
"Shush! It’s very likely true! A few countries questioned the matter at the time, even publicly ridiculed and insulted, and later, a dozen of those countries experienced sudden economic turmoil. Especially in Qingqiu Country, you must have heard about their issues, right?"
"There’s actually such a powerful figure in Huaxia?"
...
Suddenly, the surrounding area burst into a buzz of conversation, and some even spread the news about Zhang Menglong arriving on the island on a destroyer. In an instant, Zhang Menglong became the person who attracted the most attention after Biros!
Indeed, Biros eventually stopped in front of Zhang Menglong, and in his eyes flickered an indescribable excitement, as if he had met his idol.
"You are Mr. Zhang Menglong, right?" Biros bowed deeply to Zhang Menglong under the astonished gaze of thousands.
"Wow!" This gesture immediately triggered a wave of gasps.
As a super-family, the mystique of the Rothschild family in Europe was just reflected in their familial ancestry, but they were active in political and business circles. Even when facing a head of state, the Rothschilds had never been so humble.
"It is I," Zhang Menglong said.
"Mr. Zhang, I wonder if the venue meets your satisfaction?" Biros asked carefully.
"Hmm, not bad," nodded Zhang Menglong, "Mr. Biros, there’s no need to be so polite, you don’t need to mind me. Just go and attend to the other guests."
"There’s no need for that!" declared Biros firmly. For the Rothschild family, they didn’t need to ingratiate themselves with anyone. Even with the world’s top-level tycoons present, there was still not a single one worth a second glance from Biros.
Although this statement sounded somewhat grating, those present had to admit that members of the Rothschild family had the right to make such boastful and arrogant statements. Even more, these words didn’t feel out of place coming from their mouths.
"Mr. Zhang, the Rothschild family is a branch of the Dorellas family, and since the Dorellas family are your servants, we naturally are as well. How could a servant not attend to their master?" Biros said earnestly.
Biros did not lower his voice with that statement, as if it was meant for everyone present to hear.
But this time, the room fell completely silent.
Among them, hardly anyone recognized the Dorellas family, but what they heard was that a member of the Rothschild family was calling themselves a servant in front of this young man from the East! Could there be any news more shocking than this in the world?
