Money is a temporal object, so Ethan is never bothered by it.
He doesn't like to touch money. Money was supposed to be used by people, but in reality, people were often slaves to money.
It was the greatest tragedy of life.
The Carter Hall Plantation is not very famous in Seoul.
That was because Carter himself was a very low profile person.
Only the very rich and powerful people of Seoul will know him.
After all, it took someone with a certain level of wealth to be able to try out an antique collection and maintain such high security.
The world is like that. Those who look very tough are often not so amazing.
Those who look ordinary and don't even turn their heads are often more than they seem.
Carter was obviously the last.
Cars reached the estate and many heavily armed men in uniform stood at the entrance.
They checked every car and made sure that no one was carrying any weapons. Safety is a top priority in the farm.
Anyone who could come for the auction might not be too powerful, but it was certainly very rich.
The sound of a metal detector goes off as the men inspect Ethan's car twice before allowing him in. These people are as tight as the security guards at the president's residence.
"These people are very strict. These mercenaries seemed to be from the area," Winston said.
When Ethan goes to Las Vegas, he meets mercenaries from war-torn areas of the Middle East.
The Merlyn family has been sent by Ethan to the Middle East to pave the way for the Palmer Group to enter its market, and Ethan has yet to check whether they are alive or dead.
"We have to go there sooner or later" Ethan said calmly.
It was a really crazy place!
Many scenes cross Ethan's mind.
He had seen how the people there roamed around without a home, either separated from their families or the sole survivor of their families. The saddest victims of war are homeless children.
Ethan didn't even want to think about what would happen to all the children that all these mercenaries were carrying.
He closed his eyes and muttered, "I have to go there again sooner or later. I hope there will be a change when it happens."
Cars drove to the estate and there were people to guide their cars to the designated parking lot.
Ethan got out of the car and looked around. They were surrounded by heavily armed personnel.
"Gentlemen, please get through here." Their entire journey to that place was under tight control. Even though they were already inside the estate, they had to follow these mercenaries and could not leave their line of sight at all.
"This charter is really not simple" whispered Winston. "How much is all this?"
Feeding so many mercenaries was extremely expensive.
"Sometimes, it's not just about the money" Ethan replied slowly.
He didn't think too much about this question.
The goal today is to get that manual page. As for who Carter was and what background he had, Ethan did not care at all.
He can sense that Carter has ties to the Middle East, but what is actually not very interesting to Ethan at the moment.
Ethan and Winston are taken to the auction hall.
Right after they entered, a Rolls Royce came in.
Cars were parked and Carson got out of the car with four bodyguards in suits.
"I don't think even Ethan would recognize you with this face, would he?" carson said without turning around.
