I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 497 - 495: Collecting Some Protection Money Isn’t Too Bad, Right?

The next morning, a parliament member named Dalit gave Zhang Menglong a call.

"May I speak to Mr. Zhang?"

"I fuck your mom, are you fucking sick in the head? Calling people so goddamn early in the morning, don't you know others are sleeping? Hermaphrodite with a rotten ass, fuck off!"

"Beep beep beep..."

Dalit didn't even get to say a word and was directly stunned by a burst of beautiful Huaxia language.

He had anticipated that Zhang Menglong might be grouchy from waking up, and only now, under immense pressure from above, did he make the call. It's past 11 and you're still asleep, are you a pig?

As a member of parliament with high authority, who would dare to speak to Dalit like that? If it were an ordinary person, they would have been arrested for treason by now. This was absolutely intolerable... but the intolerable must still be endured!

After a torturous wait, Dalit made another call to Zhang Menglong in the afternoon.

This time, Zhang Menglong truly was awake; he was lying in bed, browsing the news.

He really hadn't expected that by oversleeping a few hours, so much would have happened?

Brahma Country issued an apology, Forbes Magazine yet again changed the asset amounts on their ranking list.

"Looks like these assholes are ready to cave," Zhang Menglong muttered to himself. They must have heard about Hui Jie's death by now. They can't do anything openly or underhandedly now, other than to cave in. They have no other choice.

"Mr. Zhang, I am Dalit, a member of Parliament from Brahma Country. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Sleep well my ass!" Zhang Menglong wasn't some high-class individual. It was all because of Hui Jie last night. After he finished washing up and went to bed, it was already around one or two in the morning. How could he have slept well?

"Mr. Zhang, based on our intelligence, the man you've been seeking, named Hui Jie, actually infiltrated our Brahma Country. We are currently searching for him nationwide," Dalit said, unfazed and talking bullshit.

Those involved in politics must learn what can be brought up openly, and what must be communicated in veiled terms, even if both parties are well aware and tacitly understand each other.

"Oh, that person broke into my residence yesterday and I killed him. Do you need me to cooperate with you for a statement?" Zhang Menglong played along with Dalit's act.

"Is that so? That's great news. Congratulations Mr. Zhang," Dalit quickly replied, "Based on what we know, this Hui Jie was extremely dangerous. Mr. Zhang, you've removed a potential threat for us. On behalf of our parliament, I thank you."

"Enough, what do you want from me?" Zhang Menglong didn't want to waste time chatting with these people. His graduate studies were about to start, and he was anxious to settle the Mahalast Family's business and hurry back to Huaxia.

"Mr. Zhang, according to the notary Cook, we place great importance on your matter. We have confirmed that the Mahalast Family's assets are indeed your personal property, and there's no issue of inheritance in the transfer of property. Therefore, you need not pay any inheritance tax. Regarding the will, I have already sent someone to deliver it to you."

"Wouldn't it have been easier to do this from the start and avoid all this trouble?" Zhang Menglong sneered. These people are just vile, only realizing their mistakes after suffering the consequences, and now the price for rectification was too high.

"Since that's the case, I'll be heading back to Huaxia once I've handled these matters. Thank you for your cooperation. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up now."

"Mr. Zhang, wait!" If Zhang Menglong simply returned to Huaxia, their front line would collapse. It seemed that Zhang Menglong was not even close to calming down yet.

If you think about it, those assets were Zhang Menglong's to begin with, and now it's just a matter of returning them to their rightful owner, but with their previous attempts to obstruct and assassinate, by putting themselves in his shoes, they would be unable to endure it, too!

But this matter was too important, and even if they had to swallow their pride, they had to speak up!

"Mr. Zhang, you should know that our front-line battles are very intense right now. How do you view this situation?"

"I watch it on fast-forward!"

"Uh..." Dalit was choked up in an instant. Zhang Menglong's speech was truly profound and incomprehensible. What on earth was fast-forward? He definitely had to look up this information later. "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your country has a good relationship with the Tambat Kingdom. Do you have any method to alleviate this war?"

"Damn, do you think I'm a national leader or something?" Zhang Menglong said speechlessly, "The fight is between you Brahma Country and Tambat Kingdom; what does it have to do with us? I'm just an ordinary student. Does what I say even matter?"

Dalit was speechless. You call yourself an ordinary student? Have you ever seen an ordinary student who can throw hundreds of billions of US dollars to help others wage war?

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

Have you ever seen an ordinary student who can turn a country upside down the moment they set foot in it?

Have you ever heard of an ordinary student who became the world's richest person at just over 20 years old?

"Besides, aren't you fighting over just some territory? I guess after they've captured those areas, they will probably stop. By then, they likely won't continue the fight. I think if you're smart, you should just give up those disputed lands. They won't mess with the officially recognized territories of a country."

Dalit felt like crying. His forebears had worked so hard to secure that piece of land. How could they give it up just like that?

"However, though I don't have much say in our country, I do have some connection with the King of Tambat," Zhang Menglong said with a smile. "To be honest, actually, the King of the Tambat Kingdom is my dad's friend's third cousin's fourth cousin's dad's neighbor's son's close friend. I often go to their house for dinner."

Good lord, are there really such complex family relations in this world?

Dalit knew Zhang Menglong was definitely bluffing, but at this moment, he could only pretend to believe it.

"Mr. Zhang, would you be willing to give us a hand?" Dalit asked humbly. Given the current situation, they no longer had any bargaining chips. They needed to fully play the role of the grandson, not just merely play it, but to be the obedient one.

"I could help," Zhang Menglong said, "But you know, all our relations are personal, and it seems not too good to involve state affairs, right? At most, I can persuade them to leave you a piece of land."

"Even a piece would do!" Dalit said. That was the bottom line given to him by the Speaker. Now, they could only try to save what little they could.

"However," Zhang Menglong rubbed his fingers together, "human relationships run out if overused, and my face isn't infinite. I help you guys secure some territory, and you guys..." Zhang Menglong rubbed his fingers together again, "shouldn't you also pay me a little protection fee?"

"Nani?" Dalit was nearly shocked into exclaiming in Kaibong language by Zhang Menglong's words. He was truly astonished by Zhang Menglong's shamelessness.

Zhang Menglong even had the face to ask them for protection fees?

And why were they in such a predicament now? Wasn't it because Zhang Menglong bought a huge batch of arms in Xuli and sponsored them to Tambat Kingdom? Essentially, wasn't that just the same as Zhang Menglong hiring an army to attack them?

Yes, it was they who did something they shouldn't have, they were greedy for the Mahalast Family's 3 trillion US dollar fortune, they had nothing to say about that.

But for Zhang Menglong, ordering the Tambat Kingdom to halt its offense was probably as simple as saying a word. After all, their current achievements were all thanks to Zhang Menglong's help. If Zhang Menglong told them to stop the offense, would they dare to continue?

Just by moving his lips, Zhang Menglong was here openly demanding a protection fee. Now they knew why Zhang Menglong was so wealthy. Robbing everywhere around the world, it would be strange if he wasn't rich.
