``` "Oh? The Queen is here!" Hilton stood up. The Queen's personal wealth was less than 1 billion US dollars. In terms of net worth, she couldn't compare to Hilton, but one must know that the entire wealth of the England Royal Family was calculated in the hundreds of billions, and the connections that the mere title of the royal family could mobilize were unmatched by a billionaire ranked 16th on Forbes. All eyes focused on the Queen, who was surrounded by a group of handsome princes and beautiful royal princesses. She smiled and greeted everyone with a grace that only true nobility possessed. She walked through the crowd, seemingly heading in a certain direction, and then approached Fang Jueyu, giving him a hug. "It's an honor to see you here, Mr. Fang!" "With an invitation from Her Majesty the Queen, I certainly didn't dare not come," Fang Jueyu replied with a smile. "Make sure to have a great time and enjoy tonight. You are the most distinguished guest here today." "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. I will," Fang Jueyu said politely. Hilton, beside Fang Jueyu, showed a hint of surprise on his face. Though others might not hear it clearly due to the distance, he heard it loud and clear. Did Queen Yisha'er imply that Fang Jueyu was the highest-ranking person here today? "Who is he?" Soon, numerous invited guests began whispering among themselves. Although they had all received invitations from the Queen, in terms of treatment, they were left far behind by Fang Jueyu. "I know that young man from Huaxia. Someone posted about it on Facebook. I think his name is Fang Jueyu." "Yeah, I heard that some time ago, over there in Huaxia, it was revealed that this young man donated billions of RMB to various charity foundations under his name!" "What? Wouldn't that be hundreds of billions of US dollars? Where did he get so much money? And donating so much, has he gone mad?" "Fang Jueyu? I've never heard of someone by that name on the Forbes list?" ... "Queen, with your actions, you're putting me in the spotlight," Fang Jueyu joked with the Queen.

"The once high-profile Fang Huai was much more ostentatious than you," she added. "By the way, I invited many beautiful ladies from Asia today. If Mr. Fang is interested, feel free to have some fun with them!" The Queen glanced in a certain direction, and Fang Jueyu immediately noticed many familiar faces gathered around a table. There were famous actresses from the Sun Country like Mizuhara Rimi, Hashimoto Kanako, and Ayase Haruka, as well as stars from Greater Korea like Jang Jihyun and Lin Yun'er. "Even the Queen..." Fang Jueyu seemed to want to complain, but considering her apparent willingness to gift her granddaughters to his bed, he found it easier to understand. "You all are young people, I understand! My manor has many nice rooms. If needed, just ask my butler directly!" The Queen left a meaningful look and then moved to the center of the venue. "Mr. Fang, you seem quite familiar with the Queen?" Hilton finally seized the chance to speak up, paying no mind to the Queen's lengthy formalities which he hadn't listened to. "Actually, this is only my second time meeting the Queen," Fang Jueyu said truthfully, "but it seems that my elders have helped the England Royal Family a lot in the past, so they're probably quite familiar." "Impressive!" Hilton gave a thumbs-up. Having the capability to aid a royal family through difficult times was not something an ordinary billionaire could achieve. "Mr. Fang, can you share a bit, just how much wealth do you have?" "To be honest, I don't know either," Fang Jueyu said with a pained expression. "I heard that Mr. Hilton's two siblings together own 50% of the Hilton Group's shares, right?" "Yes, why?" This portion of the shares was left by their deceased father, and it was by owning the 50% of the Hilton Group that the three siblings ranked 16th to 18th on the Forbes list. "Let's put it this way, 45% of the remaining 50% of Hilton Group's shares belong to me!" "What?" Hilton's expression changed immediately. He knew very well that a portion of the remaining 50% of the group was privately owned, with a significant portion held by various venture capital companies. How could it belong to Fang Jueyu? "Oh, those venture capital companies are actually mine, just under someone else's name." Hilton's heart was thrown into turmoil. With just 50% of the group shares, the three siblings made it to the top 20 of the list. If Fang Jueyu alone owned 45%, wouldn't that be sky-high? "Wait, you don't just have this, do you?" Hilton suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility. "I own 51% of Waigu Company, 39% of Amazon, not much of Microsoft, just 25%..." "Stop, stop!" Hilton found it increasingly bizarre as Fang Jueyu spoke. "Are you joking? With such assets, you'd already be the world's richest man!" "Well... there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me." Fang Jueyu really couldn't provide evidence for such an enormous amount of wealth, and did he even care for the title of the world's richest man? The Queen finally finished her lengthy formalities as she had to prepare for her birthday party the day after tomorrow. She left first, while the princes and princesses stayed, joining this rare gathering. "Never mind, you can donate over 30 billion US dollars, you're certainly richer than me," Hilton decided not to dwell on it. "Want me to introduce you to a few friends? They're on the Forbes list as well. Knowing more people won't hurt." "Sure!" Fang Jueyu picked up his glass and walked toward another table with Hilton. "Mr. Fang, care for a drink?" At this moment, Princess Silet approached Fang Jueyu. Today, she was dressed more formally than last time, exuding noble elegance and beauty. "Oh? Hahaha!" Seeing this, Hilton made no attempt to be a third wheel. "Mr. Fang, you chat with the princess first, I'll come back for you later!" As he left, Hilton threw Fang Jueyu an encouraging glance. "Princess, you're making me a target of envy for many men around here!" Fang Jueyu could already feel the hostility directed his way from all around. As the most beautiful princess of the England Royal Family, Silet had considerable allure, and there were not a few suitors present. "I don't care. Who asked you to embarrass me that day?" Silet whispered into Fang Jueyu's ear, making them appear exceptionally close to outsiders. "Seems like the princess really wants to test my car's suspension system?" Fang Jueyu wasn't afraid of Silet's move. A man never loses in such matters, "Too bad I didn't bring that car today!" "But Queen Yisha'er told me her manor has plenty of good rooms. Does the princess want to..." "Pfft! Rogue!" At Fang Jueyu's blatant tease, Princess Silet blushed. "Hahaha!" Seeing the princess flustered, Fang Jueyu couldn't help but laugh. Trying such tricks on him? What, did she think he was some inexperienced young mage? "Fang Jueyu, do me a favor!" Suddenly the princess's expression showed a hint of disgust, as if she saw someone she particularly didn't want to meet. "There's someone really annoying coming over; help me get rid of him, and I won't hold your teasing against you!" "Oh? You want me as a shield?" Fang Jueyu noticed a young man with slicked-back hair walking over and understood immediately. ```
