I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 229 - 227: The Goal of 100 Billion US Dollars Has Been Achieved

"What’s going on? Why is my account frozen? It was perfectly fine when I checked just a few minutes ago!"

"What? Your account is frozen too? So is mine! What the hell is Swiss Bank up to?"

It seemed because of what had just happened, those who had the intention to bid all began to check their Swiss Bank accounts, but without exception, everyone discovered their accounts had been frozen, and the freeze took place just a minute ago!

This even led some to suspect that there might be some problem with Swiss Bank itself.

"No, it’s not an issue with Swiss Bank!" a billionaire put down his phone, "I just asked my friend, and his Swiss Bank account is completely fine!"

"You mean, only the people here have issues with their accounts?"

"How is that possible?"

"Could it really be him who’s behind this?" More and more people turned their gaze in Zhang Menglong’s direction.

Everyone present was carrying billions in cash, but at this moment, not a single penny could be withdrawn. It was like going for a massage but realizing at the crucial moment that you don’t have a condom—it could drive a person mad.

While everyone was speculating whether this incident had anything to do with Zhang Menglong, he began to speak again.

"Since everyone is being so modest, then I, Zhang Menglong, will not stand on ceremony!" Zhang Menglong slowly said, "I bid 0 euros!"

"It must be him causing this!"

"What kind of ability does he have to make the Swiss Bank freeze all our accounts? Doesn’t Swiss Bank care about the consequences of such actions?"

"Maybe Swiss Bank is owned by his family!" The so-called ’none of my business’ attitude kicked in. At the auction, there were many who came just for the excitement, without any intention to compete for anything. So, whether their accounts were frozen or not did not affect them in the slightest, and they began to make sarcastic comments.

"Hahaha, you make a good point!"

"Exactly, in the small country of Qingqiu alone, he owns several trillion US dollars. Does he care about a little compensation?"

What they didn’t know was that they were actually right, as Swiss Bank did indeed belong to Zhang Menglong’s family.

"Miss Emma, time to get to work!" said Zhang Menglong.

"Acc...According to our auction rules, if no one can bid over 5 million euros, then this pair of swords, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, will belong to Mr. Zhang." Now, almost everyone knew that it was Zhang Menglong sitting in the VIP room number zero, and there was no need for Emma to keep his identity secret anymore.

10 seconds passed, and no one made a sound.

Half a minute went by, still no one spoke. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to bid; they literally couldn’t come up with the money!

An increase of 5 million this time, unless they brought cash. But carrying 5 million euros in cash might physically kill someone. They would have to be out of their minds to bring that amount in cash to an auction.

"So, congratulations to Mr. Zhang for becoming the owner of this pair of ancient swords!"

"Damn, this is the first time I realize how exhilarating it is to be a ’privilege dog’!" Watching the silent crowd below, Wang Ling felt a wave of satisfaction.

"Want to give it a try? Next time I’ll freeze all your accounts in Huaxia’s banks," Zhang Menglong said, "except the People’s Bank of Huaxia is state-controlled, the rest is still under capitalist control. Freezing any account is just a matter of word for me."

"Please don’t! I was just kidding!" Wang Ling instantly put on a bootlicking expression, "Mess with them all you want, but why go after me?"

...

In the backstage of the auction, the faces of those two mysterious Europeans were so dark they could drip water.

"Isar, what do we do? This Huaxia man looks like he really plans to take all of Huaxia’s relics back without spending a penny!"

"Go inform Emma to auction off all of Huaxia’s cultural relics in advance, and let this Huaxia man have his moment of pleasure for a while!" Isar said coldly, "Just now the Huaxia man said he only wants Huaxia’s cultural relics, I think for other things, he will bid using normal means, so as not to affect the auction of other items."

"Hmm, then you..."

"I’m going to find Zuo Ge," Isar stood up. "There’s nothing from our organization that someone can take away without spending a penny!" Experience tales with novelbuddy

...

Next up were three more relics from Huaxia, a massive cauldron from the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Nine Dragons Sword buried with Qianlong, and a Peking Man skull fossil that had been lost during the resistance against Kaibong. Any one of these items was worth more than a billion Huaxia currency!

Having lost all his competitors, Zhang Menglong effortlessly secured these items for himself.

"These guys are really something. The things that the Huaxia people have been searching for so long, they managed to find them all," Zhang Menglong reflected with deep emotion as he looked at these artifacts that symbolized a brilliant culture.

"Old Zhang, what do you plan to do with these items?"

"See this red scarf fluttering on my chest?" Zhang Menglong straightened himself, "Of course, I’m turning them over to the state! After all, I haven’t spent a single penny!"

"You... Are you really not going to think about it? These items are priceless!" If it were Wang Ling, even if these items were given to him for free, he would find it difficult to return them to the nation.

"What priceless? Together they are worth at most 500 million euros," Zhang Menglong said offhandedly, "Just enough to buy four or five of those meteorites used for cracking walnuts!"

"Damn it!" Wang Ling finally realized, Zhang Menglong didn’t have an ounce of enlightenment; that red scarf fluttering over his chest was just for show. He just didn’t place much value on these cultural relics, with maybe just a little patriotism to boot.

"Okay, what’s ours we take back, and what’s not ours, we win with our abilities in the auction," Zhang Menglong sent a message to Hagen to lift the block on those accounts. The real auction was only beginning now!

"My account is back!"

"Mine too!!"

Soon, many realized that their Swiss Bank accounts had returned to normal, and quite coincidentally, this happened right after Huaxia’s relics were all picked up by Zhang Menglong without spending a penny.

Now, it could be firmly stated that the Swiss Bank incident was Zhang Menglong’s doing!

Even so, the style of the auction did not change significantly.

"200 million euros!"

"800 million euros!"

"Crap, that’s a nice piece! I bid 500 million euros!"

At this moment, those tycoons realized that freezing or not freezing their bank accounts had absolutely no impact on whether they could win any items at the auction!

If Zhang Menglong wanted something, he simply didn’t care about the price; he just kept bidding higher.

Apart from the few items Zhang Menglong wasn’t interested in, he bought nearly 70 percent of the auction’s lots with exceedingly high closing bids.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang on winning this world-famous painting for 400 million euros! Now, we are down to our final star lot. Please enjoy a 20-minute tea break. Next, I believe, will be a very intense competition!"

After paying the last 400 million euros, Zhang Menglong’s mind was simultaneously filled with a voice that had appeared several times in his dreams.

"Ding! Task set by the 249th dean completed. Super God Academy officially unlocked!"

The voice sent a jolt through Zhang Menglong and even made him forget to ponder what this final star lot could be, mysterious enough to cause such anticipation.

"Gou Dan?" Zhang Menglong remembered the name he had given to the Super God Academy’s intelligence system a few months ago when he first entered the academy through his mother’s hypnosis.

"Respected 250th Dean, Super God Academy’s intelligence system, Gou Dan, at your service. You may use your thoughts to issue a command and open the entrance to the Super God Academy. I will introduce more information after you enter the academy!"
