The entire Team 7 sprang into action, and with the help of her Shadow Clone, Charlotte quickly stored all the treasures in her Storage Space.
Along with the thirteen Crystal Skull, Charlotte stored them all in her Storage Space. The alien, headless, didn't even make a sound. She planned to give this thing to Orochimaru for research; an alien with such a long lifespan, capable of creating clones and then merging back to revive after death, would surely pique Orochimaru's interest.
Charlotte glanced at the now empty hall and then said, "Take Sakura Haruno outside first. I'll destroy the top floor of the hall later; there's a huge thing up there."
Charlotte wasn't worried that falling Monolith or a collapse would injure Naruto Sasuke after blasting open the top floor to reveal the spaceship above, but Sakura Haruno was a different story, as she was far too weak at that moment.
"Yes, Lord Charlotte!" x4
The four of them left the main hall of the Golden City without any objection to Charlotte's request and headed towards the stone platform outside.
After everyone left, Charlotte glanced at the sky. The only thing he cared about on this trip to the Golden City was that interstellar spaceship. With that thing, he could easily go to other planets to plant trees.
Charlotte gathered her strength and unleashed a punch at the top of the hall above her head.
"Boom!"
Blue Chakra enveloped his fist, and the great hall above his head was blasted apart, revealing the spaceship parked above.
Charlotte leaped to the side of the spaceship, looked at the brand-new vessel, and reached out to touch it. The next second, her Chakra surged forth and enveloped the entire spaceship.
"Receive!"
With a thought, the spaceship enveloped in Chakra vanished and was stored in Charlotte's Storage Space.
As the spaceship was removed, the building above, now without support, immediately began to collapse, and the members of Team 7 outside were also shaken from side to side by the sudden commotion.
Sakura Haruno cried out in alarm, "Oh no, this place is going to collapse!"
"Boom!"
As soon as Sakura Haruno finished speaking, the ground beneath their feet collapsed, and the four of them flashed to the mountainside beside them.
Naruto Uzumaki called out anxiously, "The old man is still inside, I hope nothing bad has happened to him."
Sasuke glanced at Naruto and said calmly, "With Lord Charlotte's strength, how could such a collapse possibly injure her?"
Kakashi glanced at the still-collapsed area below and nodded, saying, "Naruto, don't worry about the master, everything will be alright."
The next second, the earth and rocks exploded, and Charlotte rushed out and flew into the air. She glanced at the scene below and saw that the spaceship had been safely taken out and the City of Gold had not been flooded by the river. Only the stone platform had collapsed.
The entire stone platform sank into the ground, and the towering steps turned into a large pit.
Charlotte glanced at Team 7 standing nearby, then flew over.
"We've got the goods. Get ready to return to the New York Base with me."
"Yes, Lord Charlotte!"
After passing through the cave and arriving on the plain, Charlotte cast Merlin Array.
"Everyone, stand inside the magic circle. We're heading straight back to base."
As everyone entered, a flash of light appeared, and Charlotte and the others were back at the base.
At this moment, everyone returned to the conference room with Charlotte. Charlotte glanced at everyone and then spoke:
"This mission is complete. Everyone, take a good rest. There are many more new friends in Konoha now at the base. You can go and see your classmates and friends."
"I'll be hosting a party in a few days, so everyone can get together."
Hearing that new companions had arrived, everyone's faces lit up with joy, even Naruto was standing to the side, was extremely excited.
"Yes, Lord Charlotte!"
No one lingered in the meeting room; they all left. At this moment, Charlotte spoke:
"Red Queen, summon Ginny to the Treasure Pavilion."
"Yes, Master."
After giving Ginny a brief instruction, Charlotte turned and left the conference room, heading towards her Treasure Pavilion, which, despite being called Treasure Pavilion, was actually a large building.
Once inside the Treasure Pavilion, Charlotte took out all the treasures she had acquired. The vault contained artifacts from various countries and periods, including Terracotta Warrior and, of course, Mummy.
"It seems my Treasure Pavilion can be filled with even more color."
Charlotte glanced at the Crystal Skull in his Storage Space. He had originally planned to keep one as a collection, but after thinking about it, he decided to give it to Orochimaru to study and see what he could figure out.
Charlotte quickly gathered all the historical treasures—jewelry, artwork, Gold Coin, and antiques—into one place, filling the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion to the brim.
Charlotte went up to the second floor and took out all the gold bricks from the Storage Space, piling them together. The light emitted by the gold bricks illuminated the entire second floor. Even Charlotte was somewhat moved by the sight of so many gold bricks gathered together.
However, he didn't care after taking a look, knowing that he had more money than all the gold bricks in the house. Nevertheless, the sheer number of gold bricks still gave people a sense of awe.
Just then, Ginny arrived and exclaimed in surprise at the sight on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, "My God, so many gold bricks..."
"Boss, did you rob the national treasury?"
Charlotte laughed, "Kakashi and the others found the City of Gold. The things downstairs, plus the gold bricks here, are the spoils of this trip."
"Wow, they seem to be really lucky; they've actually gotten so much stuff."
Charlotte looked at Ginny and said, "I'm giving you a task: keep the Chinese antiques downstairs to decorate the Treasure Pavilion, pick one or two of the most valuable ones to keep for yourself, and sell the rest."
"And all these gold bars were also sold and converted into cash."
"Boss, the quantity is too large. Selling it all at once would put us at a significant disadvantage in terms of price. It would be better to sell it in smaller quantities, even though it would take a little longer, because the price would be much higher."
"Okay, you can handle these. I remember Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D.. said that if they find the City of Gold, they'd be willing to help sell some of them. If the price is right, we can let them sell them."
"Yes, Boss."
Charlotte thought for a moment, then said, "I'm planning to hold a banquet at the base in a week. You should make the preparations accordingly."
"Also, please send out the invitations for me. Remember that the people invited include the Sound Ninja, Sand Ninja, Kirigakure, Tony Stark, and the Elder of the High Table. Send them an invitation as well."
