I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 242 - 240: Don’t Run Away, Stay and Watch Me Show Off
"Ding, congratulations to the Dean for earning 20 Cred Points!"
"Hahaha, this is simply a grand scene for racking up Cred Points!" Zhang Menglong laughed proudly.
"Your personal bodyguard? The weakest one?" Wang Ling’s eyes widened, "He has been following us to Europe from the beginning?"
"Of course, otherwise what’s the point of calling him a personal bodyguard?" Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "I’m so rich, there are definitely people who want to plot against me for my wealth, and if I don’t have a few bodyguards by my side, wouldn’t I become a walking ATM?"
"But how come I never noticed him?" This was what astonished Wang Ling the most. A living person had been with them for a week, and he had been completely oblivious!
"That’s a must! If he didn’t have some skills, how would he qualify to be my Zhang Menglong’s bodyguard?" Zhang Menglong retorted.
"Who exactly are they?" Wang Ling now had countless questions swirling in his mind.
"Kid, do you have lots of question marks?" Zhang Menglong sang a tune casually, "I said yesterday that many things in this world should not be viewed with the eyes of ordinary people. Do you understand now?"
"Are you talking about that Immortal Pill?" Wang Ling suddenly realized.
Who has ever seen someone sever metal with just a look? Now he had, and unless he had witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never believe that such things happened in the world.
And the fierce competition over that Immortal Pill yesterday, Wang Ling had originally scoffed at it, but now, in hindsight, he realized he had been short-sighted. If it really were just some bogus med made by charlatans, would it have caused so many countries to vie for it so desperately? Would these supremely talented people take such great risks to intercept them?
"Could it be that the Immortal Pill yesterday really had that kind of heaven-defying effect?"
"That’s right," Zhang Menglong nodded, "How should I put it? Simply put, there are some very special people in this world, Mutants, Ancient Martial Artists, Cultivators—oh, Cultivators are something I made up, I don’t even know if they exist."
Wang Ling rolled his eyes. How could Zhang Menglong still be in the mood to joke at a time like this, hadn’t he seen that the situation at the scene could turn into a fight at any moment?
"That Immortal Pill yesterday," Zhang Menglong continued, "could help these people enhance their strength, and thus help the countries they represent improve certain indefinable international standings. So, you get it now?"
Wang Ling nodded, somewhat understanding, but one thing he knew for sure was that these people were not ordinary, and they were all after that very Immortal Pill.
"But, that thing was eaten by your dog!" Wang Ling said incredulously, "Your dog isn’t going to suddenly gain enlightenment and become immortal, is it?"
"I have no idea about that, but it sure has become quite smart," Zhang Menglong cradled Wang Cai in his arms.
"Who exactly are you?" Wang Ling felt he was getting more and more confused about Zhang Menglong. Not to mention his wealth, but he also had such capable and extraordinary people protecting him.
"I am me, a firework with a different color," Zhang Menglong said casually. "Actually, it’s nothing much. I just have a bit more money, a bit more family influence, and bodyguards that are a bit more formidable, that’s all."
"Really just a ’bit’, huh," Wang Ling rolled his eyes, "Are your bodyguards up to the task? There are more than a dozen of them."
"What do you mean ’up to the task’? A man can’t say he can’t!" Zhang Menglong declared, "They’ve come to rob Zhang Menglong, and today, nobody’s leaving without leaving something behind!"
"Such formidable people from Huaxia!" At this moment, all the Mutants’ expressions turned extremely solemn.
Among them, Shelton was undoubtedly the strongest, but he had been soundly beaten without a chance to fight back by this person, which filled them with unease.
"Why is one person missing?" Suddenly, they realized that Lord Shen Yuan from Kaibong was not present. They all knew of each other’s existence and some had even clashed before, so there was more than one person who knew Shen Yuan.
"Who knows? Xi Meng Palace from Kaibong left last night; maybe Shen Yuan left with them?"
"And yesterday during the bidding, it seemed like Xi Meng Palace did not make an offer."
"Could they have known something all along?"
"Hmph! Cowardly Kaibong," a tall and intimidating Mutant scoffed, "This world is bound by the Second World Covenant; it’s impossible for anyone above Level Six to act recklessly within the sphere of another country’s influence. If the people of the Frankfurt Kingdom knew, this Zhang Menglong wouldn’t even be able to cross the border— he’d be instantly beheaded by a Frankfurt surpassing level nine powerhouse!"
"Exactly! He must just be a bit stronger than an ordinary Level Six Awakener. We have more people, so what’s there to fear from just him?"
"Let’s attack together!"
In an instant, everyone reached a consensus, with Ye Yin becoming their common enemy.
What they didn’t realize was that as long as Ye Yin didn’t want to be discovered, even an expert surpassing level nine wouldn’t be able to detect his existence. Moreover, it was uncertain whether such a person, even if aware of him, would dare to block his path.
"Charge!" Almost simultaneously, everyone launched their attack, and more than a dozen intense auras made the whole ship tremble violently, as if it were about to fall apart.
"Ye Yin, make it quick, I’m still waiting to go back and have some crayfish tonight!" Zhang Menglong instructed.
"Still thinking about eating crayfish? Huaxia man, prepare to feed the fishes in the Mediterranean tonight!"
Shelcy charged ahead, believing that he was merely caught off guard before. He thought Ye Yin might just be fast, for if his strength were really that great, he would have already blasted his head open earlier.
"Boom!" A massive shockwave erupted from Ye Yin’s body, like the previous time when he dealt with that electrified fellow. All those who charged at him were blown away by the shockwave.
This power was terribly frightening, as more than ten people spat blood, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They had underestimated him; this young man was definitely not just any Level Six Awakener!
"He must be at least a Level Seven or Level Eight Awakener, or maybe even a surpassing level nine Awakener!"

"How is this possible! How could he possibly have a bodyguard who is a surpassing level nine Awakener? It’s impossible!"
They could not comprehend that an Awakener with such strength would be an important figure even for Huaxia, and would certainly not stoop to being someone’s bodyguard unless that person was a key national leader.
Yet the power they witnessed told them this was true, and furthermore, this person hadn’t even used his full strength!
More than ten people tumbled to the ground in disarray, while only one remained suspended in mid-air— Shelcy from America. He appeared to be held by an invisible hand, struggling in vain to break free.
"Kill him!" Zhang Menglong said coldly. His previous attempt to kill Wang Ling was an unpardonable act to Zhang Menglong; anyone who dared to harm someone close to him could not be forgiven!
"Crack!" A crisp sound of bone-breaking was heard, and Shelcy’s neck snapped.
"Thud!" Shelcy, already lifeless, fell to the ground, his eyes wide open in disbelief, even in his final moments, unable to accept that he had kicked such an impenetrable steel plate.
"Trash! Not one of them can fight!" Zhang Menglong remarked dismissively.
"Ding, congratulations to the director for obtaining 50 Cred Points!"
"Damn, that many this time?" Zhang Menglong was pleased. With that, he had accumulated 120 Cred Points!
"Run!" someone shouted all of a sudden.
Even Shelcy, their strongest, had been killed without the other party even lifting a finger— if they didn’t leave now, they’d all perish right here!
"Ye Yin!" Zhang Menglong shouted, "Weld the door shut, don’t let a single one escape! If you all run, who will stay to watch me show off?!"
