I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 225 - 223: Then I’ll Do It the Civilized Way

In Room 7, there was a middle-aged man around forty with short, neatly kept hair, dressed in a black suit. His eyes sparkled with an indescribable glow.

Behind him stood another man and a woman. The man appeared quite scholarly, with hair covering half of his eyes and round-framed glasses perched on his nose, holding a book about human anatomy, which evoked the impression of a doctor.

They all hailed from Derman, a powerful nation that had dominated Europe several times and nearly conquered the world.

"Adenna, why do you want to bid for Huaxia’s Imperial Jade Seal? This item is meaningless to us!" the woman said with a displeased expression. "Don’t forget, our target this time is that item!"

"I know," the man called Adenna replied, "I just can’t stand that Huaxia boy’s arrogance. Even though the times are different now and they are becoming stronger, it seems they’ve forgotten that when our kingdom of Derman was contending for world dominance, they were still busy seeking redemption from their enslaved society!"

"Anna, it’s alright, let Adenna have his fun," the bespectacled man interjected, "Otherwise, this trip would be far too boring."

"Yeah, this Huaxia person is indeed quite wealthy. I have no idea how he managed to mobilize that destroyer from England and even got Frankfurt to allow it, but to think he can do whatever he wants at this auction with just a destroyer is a bit far-fetched."

"Hahaha, such first world weapons can only intimidate ordinary people, they are useless against us," Adenna continued, "Even if they brought ten times more, they couldn’t keep us here. Just considering his arrogant demeanor earlier, if he doesn’t bleed, he won’t think of taking the item back to Huaxia!"

"Aren’t you afraid that this Huaxia person will drive up the price and then outmaneuver you?" the woman laughed.

"That’s impossible. I know the people of Huaxia well. They value national honor above everything, and if the Imperial Jade Seal, an item of such significance, has come up this time, they will do everything they can to secure it, even if means selling the pots and pans."

...

"Mr. Zhang, ordinary firearms are very intimidating to common people, but they are utterly meaningless against mutants of Level Three and above," Ye Yin told Zhang Menglong. "With the protection of that Level Five mutant, the destroyer won’t stop them."

"Isn’t that why I have you!" Zhang Menglong laughed.

Just now, Zhang Menglong’s credibility had been seriously challenged! He had barely finished speaking when someone immediately called out a bid, essentially a slap in his face.

Laughter began to emerge from the regular section below; some laughed at the ignorance of the people in Room 7— even if they managed to secure the Jade Seal, according to Zhang Menglong’s character, he certainly wouldn’t let them go easily.

Of course, much of it was mocking Zhang Menglong, and they were even curious to see if his words were just a bluff or if he meant business.

As for other exceptional individuals, they were merely enjoying the drama. The power disparity among them was not significant, most were aware of each other’s presence, and some from the second world had even sparred or knew each other. Enjoy new stories from novelbuddy

They naturally knew that the people from Derman dared to bid because they were utterly fearless; to them, Zhang Menglong’s intimidation was nothing!

But among these individuals, there was one peculiar person.

"Idiot, still daring to provoke him, do you really think he relies only on planes and battleships?" In another VIP room, a short-statured man showed a schadenfreude expression.

This man was naturally KaiBong’s corporate president, Ximenggong, who had been taught a lesson by Zhang Menglong the previous night.

Last night, Ye Yin did not kill that ninja from Kaibong; he genuinely stuffed his ass into a fissure in the bottom of the Mediterranean.

By relying on his strong survival and recovery abilities, Mr. Shen Yuan finally struggled out of the crack in the middle of the night, returning to his room in the Dream Palace with a body covered in wounds and a broken arm.

Mr. Shen Yuan had told the Dream Palace that this was the most terrifying person he had encountered so far, even among the few in the Kaibong nation known as "Divine Ninjas," none had made him feel so powerless.

The individuals from the second world who came to the auction this time, had a strength equivalent to only Level Five or perhaps Level Six mutants at most.

Of course, it wasn’t because these nations only had individuals of such abilities; in their own countries, there were people far more powerful than these.

In every nation, the definition of these types of humans varied: in Kaibong, they were known as ninjas; in America, some called them mutants, while others referred to them as superhumans; in some European countries, they even used titles such as Viscount and Earl to classify them.

However, to facilitate differentiation, their power levels were categorized from Level One to Level Nine, measured using units from an energy detector.

According to the rules of the second world, second-world humans with an energy level above Level Seven are not allowed to enter any country’s interior without permission; if they really want to fight, it must be in an unclaimed public area. Thus, the strongest present here were only those second-world humans with an energy level of Level Six.

In their Kaibong, a "Divine Ninja" was someone who had surpassed the mighty existence of Level Nine energy units; such individuals, powerful enough to only be looked up to, represented the nation’s most valuable strength and talent!

He believed that the person Zhang Menglong had brought with him definitely possessed strength above the Level Nine energy units! Last night, that Huaxia person seemed like he was merely playing with him—from the moment he noticed his presence to the moment he was subdued, it all happened in an instant!

Although he didn’t know why Zhang Menglong had such a person by his side, let alone why his men dared to brazenly tear up the second-world treaty, but with such a person next to Zhang Menglong, anyone who provoked him was probably going to die miserably!

"Stupid and arrogant people from Derman!" the Dream Palace muttered to himself. This time, if they wanted to take that item back, there was almost no hope.

...

"Miss Emma, it is time to ask for bids!" Adenna said in a haughty tone.

Only then did Emma suddenly remember her actual job.

"Five million euros for the first time. Is there anyone else who would like to raise the bid?" Emma’s expression turned towards the VIP room where Zhang Menglong was seated.

"Five million euros for the second time!"

"Hehehe!" As Emma called for bids the second time, a burst of laughter came from VIP room number 7, "If Mr. Zhang doesn’t continue to bid, this Imperial Jade Seal will belong to me, and I look forward to seeing if Mr. Zhang’s naval forces can really trap me then!"

"Old Zhang, that bastard is provoking you! Get him!" Wang Ling said, teeth itching with anger.

"I know," Zhang Menglong was surprisingly not angry, "but I’ve suddenly changed my mind. Now, I plan to use the method of a civilized person."

"Ah? The method of a civilized person? What do you mean?" Wang Ling asked, puzzled.

"The method of a civilized person, that is to overpower him with money!" Zhang Menglong declared, "As long as he can’t produce the money when it’s time to pay, then he won’t be taking the item away!"
