I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 489 - 487 Full and Idle
Zhang Menglong couldn't help but sneer inside. He was aware of the shamelessness of the people from Brahma Country and the Mahalast Family, yet he hadn't expected them to stoop to such a level.
Others would handle such affairs with extreme discretion, for fear that public knowledge could lead to an adverse opinion. However, these people had no shame and began to use various means to prevent Zhang Menglong from taking over the assets without any hesitation.
Of course, when Sharuk and Mordiyan mentioned those words just now, they also revealed an embarrassed look on their faces. They had once gone to understand the legal issues from the people of the Mahalast Family after receiving the order. The fact shocked them, but it also left them feeling somewhat helpless.
The founder of the Mahalast Family turned out to be a Huaxia person, and this family, with nearly 3 trillion US Dollars in assets, was not at all from their Brahma Country!

The current head of the Mahalast Family had not left any descendants and had intended to transfer the assets back to Zhang Menglong. But to his surprise, the collateral members were unwilling; they even colluded with higher authorities to seize all the assets and thought of various ways to create obstacles.
Although they both despised such behavior, their country was not as democratic and free as Western nations. They had no choice but to obey.
But Zhang Menglong actually said he did not come for matters concerning the Mahalast Family's assets. Then what else could he have come for?
"You're not here for the lawsuit over the assets of the Mahalast Family?" they asked again for confirmation.
"Such trivial matters, I can settle by myself. What's the point in suing a small family?" Zhang Menglong shrugged his shoulders, his face full of disdain and indifference.
Sharuk and Mordiyan exchanged glances. If showing off were punishable by law, Zhang Menglong would have probably been shot by now, right?
Good grief, we're talking about nearly 3 trillion US Dollars in assets here. There aren't many families larger than this in the whole of Brahma Country, let alone Asia. And you're telling me this is just a small family?
Nearly 3 trillion US Dollars in assets is considered a minor matter, doesn't saying such a thing make you afraid of being struck by lightning?
But this couldn't help but evoke a vague sense of excitement in both of them. The world's richest person was indeed worth the title, treating nearly three trillion US Dollars in assets as insignificant. So, how much was his net worth? 10 trillion? 20 trillion?
If Zhang Menglong wasn't here for the matters of the Mahalast Family, then accepting his case wouldn't be considered as going against the wishes of the higher-ups.
A person who doesn't care about 3 trillion US Dollars, would their remuneration be small if they managed to handle his case?
In the past few years, the world's richest person at the time divided 200 billion US Dollars in assets during a divorce, and it's said that the lawyer responsible for their property division also received commissions counted in billions.
This 3 trillion US Dollar case could probably command at least ten times the commission, right? After this job, it would be like working diligently for hundreds or even thousands of years!
But according to Zhang Menglong, the case he needed to deal with was likely even bigger than the Mahalast Family's 3 trillion US Dollars worth of assets. Just the thought was thrilling. If they handled it well, they could just retire to villas by the sea and quit running a law firm, right?
"Mr. Zhang, whatever case you have for us, just say the word. We may not rank high internationally, but in our Brahma Country, nobody is more professional than we are. Even the world's top lawyers might not be able to surpass us in our country!" Sharuk said with utmost confidence. This was their battleground, and no one in this country could surpass their understanding of each and every law. That was their source of confidence.
"Good," Zhang Menglong nodded in satisfaction. "You must have heard about the recent military conflict between your country and the Tambat Kingdom being quite severe."
The two men could only offer a wry smile. His description was too understated. What does 'quite severe' mean? It was an utter disaster. Their troops were simply rubbed face-down on the ground by the enemy, and even their captives were dressed in women's clothes and humiliated at the frontlines for three days. Their Brahma Country was on the verge of becoming the world's laughing stock.
Even the military parade scheduled for a few days later had been postponed. Now, having a parade would only remind everyone of those images of soldiers in miniskirts and stockings.
"Today, the head of your so-called Public Notary Office actually called me up to ask if I was behind this incident. Can you believe how absurd that is?" Zhang Menglong said, righteously indignant as if he had absolutely nothing to do with the matter.
"Mr. Zhang's acting skills—if they don't give him an Oscar, it would be so unfair!" Hong Yi was communicating inside with Ye Yin, who was hidden in the shadows.
"Hahaha, having been with Mr. Zhang for so long, I've gotten used to it. Mr. Zhang has always been this shameless."
"Ye Yin, I think I hear someone talking behind my back about how handsome I am!"
While they were chatting idly, Zhang Menglong's voice actually cut in, "Nice, Ye Yin, you actually talk behind my back, calling me shameless. Your year-end bonus is super halved this year!"
"Mr. Zhang, I..." Ye Yin was not only a bit panicked but also surprised. Zhang Menglong's power had increased so rapidly that it was almost unbelievable. Now, Zhang Menglong could even forcefully intrude into this type of Brain Quantum Waves exchange. It seemed from now on, he could no longer casually talk behind Zhang Menglong's back.
"Remember this!" Zhang Menglong said viciously.
...
"Ridiculous... indeed quite ridiculous..."
Facing Zhang Menglong's question, Sharuk and Mortian could only agree.
One person assisting a country to win a war sounded indeed very far-fetched, but for some reason, when this was attributed to Zhang Menglong, they always felt that such a feat seemed like just a basic operation for him.
They had heard that the reason the Brahma Country was defeated was that the Tambat Kingdom's troops suddenly had a lot of advanced military equipment.
To get the equipment, actually, you only need two things: connections and money, both of which Zhang Menglong just so happened to have. At this moment, they suddenly felt like Zhang Menglong was the type to strike first and play the victim!
"Mr. Zhang, may I ask why they would accuse you of this?" Mortian asked.
"I don't know, maybe they're jealous of my handsomeness and talent." Zhang Menglong took out his phone and played the recording from the call.
Listening to the contents of the recording, their faces grew increasingly grim. If they were only 30% suspicious that Zhang Menglong was involved in this matter before, now they were 70% suspicious.
"So the reason you came here today is..."
"I plan to sue your notary office, that Cook, and the whole series of people above him who have slandered and libeled me!"
"You… Could you repeat that, please? We must have heard wrong," Sharuk and Mortian said as they began to sweat uncontrollably from their foreheads. Good lord, this wasn't just suing one person; this was practically going to court against an entire country.
Were they out of their minds? Whether they won or lost this lawsuit, they feared that after this, both of them would have no place in the entire Brahma Country.
The most crucial part was, no one directly accused them of interfering in the war; they just reasonably suspected and tried to draw out their words, and now they wanted to sue? Was it really reasonable to be so capricious?
And could they honestly say, hand on heart, that they had absolutely nothing to do with this matter?
That wasn't suing; they really suspected that Zhang Menglong was just idle and looking for trouble after having his fill.
"Mr. Zhang, there might be some difficulties with that, we..."
"500 million!"
"Mr. Zhang, it's not about the money, the key issue is..."
"US dollars!"
"Mr. Zhang, but..."
"Each person!"
"Mr. Zhang, we will definitely handle this matter for you beautifully!"
