I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 488 - 486: Did You Guys Misunderstand Something?

"Mr. Zhang, that's not what I meant, only because this matter involves our national security, so I must be sure," Cook quickly explained.

"Is it your superiors who sent you to investigate me?" Zhang Menglong's tone was quite decisive, as if he had nothing to do with anything.

"Mr. Zhang, after you left Brahma Country you went to Xuli, and then these kinds of incidents started happening on our front lines. I think we have some rights to be suspicious, don't we?" Cook said, "Moreover, the way the Tambat people treat prisoners of war, we can't help but suspect that your country has a hand in it."

"Do you have evidence?"

"This... I..." Cook was directly choked by these words; they didn't have any damn evidence!

Did they expect to send someone to Xuli for an investigation? Who would dare to go to such a place, where people are devoured without leaving any bones behind? One misstep and it's dying in a foreign land, so what's there to investigate?

Even if they did go, whom would they ask? Go directly to those arms dealers and ask if there's a person named Zhang Menglong buying arms from them?

You have to know that these people recognize money, not faces, and they also have absolute professional integrity, definitely not exposing their customers' information.

Of course, it's not because of any reputation; betraying customer information only leads to two results: one, the customer gets killed and they'll never have repeat business; the second is the customer kills the person doing the investigation and then also causes trouble for them.

Whichever the case, there's no benefit for them, so unless it's absolutely necessary, they definitely will not betray any customer information.

Therefore, getting evidence in Xuli that Zhang Menglong sold arms is virtually impossible.

Of course, to make the Tambat Kingdom admit they received arms from Zhang Menglong is even less likely, so this is almost an unsolvable proposition!

"It seems like you don't really have any evidence!" Zhang Menglong said, "No matter what your reasons are, you coming here inexplicably suspecting me of these activities, that is defamation of my reputation, You can choose to remain silent, but from now on, every word you say will be taken as evidence in court!"

"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by this?" Cook frowned, listening to Zhang Menglong's words, it seemed as if he was about to file a complaint?

"I have already recorded our conversation just now, and in a few days, I will have my lawyers contact you," Zhang Menglong had already lost the desire to play tai chi with Cook.

Now they were in a weaker position, but it seemed they still hadn't realized their current situation; not begging his forgiveness is one thing, but to actually dare to question him? Did they really think Zhang Menglong was easy to provoke?

"Hong Yi, copy the record of today's conversation and then bring my team of lawyers to Brahma Country, I'm going to send them a legal notice!"

"Mr. Zhang, this might be somewhat difficult to manage," Hong Yi said, "Although your lawyers have been through strict selection and their expertise is impeccable, this is only true in countries with a well-established legal system. In a country with such a backward foundational system, it could be very hard to accomplish anything, and even if the process goes ahead, it might take a year and a half."

"A year and a half? I can't wait that long," Zhang Menglong quickly shook his head.

"I suggest you hire local lawyers to defend you, which might be more appropriate."

"Do I have lawyers in Brahma Country?"

"Yes," Hong Yi said, "but those lawyers are registered under the Mahalast Family's name, and given the current situation, you might not be able to use them."

"Man alive." Zhang Menglong felt a surge of nameless fury in his heart, like walking into his own backyard, suddenly wanting to defecate, but then being told that the toilet that originally belonged to him was now unusable, and he must go outside to find a public restroom."

"Luca," Zhang Menglong asked, "which is the largest and best law firm in Brahma Country?"

"Master, the best law firm in Brahma Country is Brahma Special Law Firm, which has a history of over 20 years in practice, and nearly all of the top domestic lawyers have come from this firm," Luca said.

"Alright, let's go there," Zhang Menglong said.

...

As a leading law firm domestically, Brahma Country's Para Law Firm concentrated nearly the topmost national legal consultation team. Their litigation cases were essentially unbeaten; in Brahma Country, seeing the opposing counsel from this firm often meant one might as well surrender directly.

Of course, the threshold for the firm was extraordinarily high. The top lawyers from common firms were merely errand runners here, but even an errand-runner lawyer was in at least the top 20% of the income pyramid in the entire Brahma Country.

Correspondingly, the firm's charges were exorbitantly high. Even the cheapest lawyer charged more than 20,000 Rupees per hour for consultation, far exceeding the average monthly income of a regular Brahma Country worker.

"Sir, are you here for legal consultation, or do you have other needs?" As soon as Zhang Menglong walked into the office, a young girl immediately approached him.

The girl was very beautiful. In a country where dark skin was prevalent, finding someone as fair as her was quite difficult. It seemed that even the standards for ordinary staff here were incredibly high.

"I am here to file a lawsuit," Zhang Menglong declared. "Find me the best legal team you have here."

The girl hesitated momentarily. The fees for their top legal teams were terrifyingly high. She glanced at Zhang Menglong's attire and then at Luca and Syntobey behind him. This group seemed like they were not short on money.

"Gentlemen, we have three tiers of teams here. Each team is furnished with two lawyers and several staff members. The Level Three team charges 50,000 Rupees per day, Level Two team charges 120,000 Rupees a day, and Level One team is 250,000 Rupees per day. The fees are calculated from the day you file the case to the day it is concluded."

"Is there anything better?" Zhang Menglong continued, not satisfied with even the 250,000 Rupees option, which was merely a bit more than 20,000 a day. How different was that from the price of cabbage?

"There is," the girl looked troubled, "but they are the founders and partners of our firm. They charge based on the complexity of the case, so..."

"Don't worry about the money. I just want to know how skilled they are."

"Sir, rest assured," the girl responded confidently, "our two founders have together handled over 200 defenses to date, without a single loss."

"Done, then. Just call them over," Zhang Menglong decided.

"This way, please, sir," the girl urged, not daring to delay. The staff responsible for monitoring at the reception had just quietly informed her that these folks had arrived in a Maybach, a car priced over 50 million Rupees—not something just anyone could afford. They certainly had the financial capacity!

Upon hearing this news, the two founders of the firm immediately set aside their current tasks. Even if they didn't clinch a deal, connections like these were invaluable. It was with such professional integrity that they had managed to grow the firm to its current size.

"Let me introduce you to everyone. These two gentlemen are Mr. Sharuk and Mr. Mortian, the founders of our firm."

"Welcome to our firm," the two founders warmly shook hands with Zhang Menglong, and then the one named Sharuk suddenly thought of something.

"You... Are you Mr. Zhang Menglong?"

"What? Zhang Menglong?" Mortian was also startled.

"Gentlemen, don't be alarmed," Zhang Menglong smiled, "I came here only seeking some legal assistance. I've heard about your extensive experience and undefeated record, so I'd like you to help me with a lawsuit."

"Mr. Zhang, if it is concerning the Mahalast Family's asset issues, I'm afraid we can't assist you," Sharuk and Mortian had also received warnings recently. They were strictly forbidden from meddling in any disputes involving the Mahalast Family.

"No no no, you might have misunderstood. Who said I wanted legal assistance with the Mahalast Family's matters?"
