I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 492 - 490: I Don’t Want It Anymore

"General Afur, have you been quite happy recently?" Zhang Menglong made a call to Afur using a special route.

Afur instantly recognized the voice as Zhang Menglong's, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your support to our Tambat Kingdom. We've already taken back a piece of lost land, and we will reclaim the remaining three pieces one by one. We are willing to offer you any 100 square kilometer area, which you can use for whatever you want!"

"What Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about? I don't understand," Zhang Menglong feigned ignorance. "I'm not surnamed Zhang, my name is Long Aotian."

Afur was at a loss for words, thinking at this point, why still play dumb? Aren't we all men, why can't we just speak frankly without mincing words? It's not like he could sell Zhang Menglong out, could he? He believed that if he dared to do such a thing, by tomorrow, a neighboring country might come flying over with 1,000 tanks and 1,000 fighter jets.

Zhang Menglong had managed to keep Brahma Country in line, and he could surely do the same to their Tambat Kingdom.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Long, I made a careless mistake," Afur quickly apologized, "May I know if Mr. Long has any instructions for us?"

"No instructions to speak of; I'm not particularly interested in that 100 square kilometers of land. I just wanted to discuss with you, regarding those four disputed territories, it would be fair for you to take three of them. Don't bully them too much; just enough to make your point," Zhang Menglong said.

"Mr. Long, we'll follow your advice," Afur hastened to say. In truth, they were already extremely satisfied with having recovered that piece of land. Being able to recapture two more was like their ancestors' graves were smoking—after all, some of the areas were only disputed and didn't originally belong to Tambat Kingdom.

"When the time comes, follow my lead," Zhang Menglong said. "You should know that I have some scores to settle with Brahma Country. For now, you can play it by ear. When it's nearly enough, slow down the pace. If they come begging me for mercy, then we might as well give them a way out."

Of course, Afur knew Zhang Menglong must have past disputes with Brahma Country; he was practically suing the entire nation. Although there was no verdict yet, the whole world was calling for human rights and freedom, and Brahma Country was like a rat crossing the street, chased by everyone.

"Yes, we'll wait for Mr. Zhang's news!"

Having finished this call, Zhang Menglong lay down directly to wait for Brahma Country to beg him, judging by the current situation, he guessed their morale must have been nearly shattered.

"Luca, Sindtobi, get ready to take over the Mahalast Family," Zhang Menglong instructed.

"Yes!" Although they didn't know where Zhang Menglong got his confidence, his assured demeanor naturally infected them.

Indeed, in less than an hour, Zhang Menglong's phone rang.

"I thought they could hold out for several more hours, but that's it," Zhang Menglong answered the call, "Hello, who is this?"

"Mr. Zhang... it's me, Cook," Cook hurriedly added, "I'm that Cook from the Public Notary Office of Brahma Country, not the Apple one."

"What's the matter, we are in a sensitive period before the court session, with one side as the plaintiff and the other as the defendant. Isn't it a bit irregular to be in contact privately now?" Zhang Menglong challenged, "If Mr. Cook has something to discuss, let's wait until after the court session!"

Cook instantly became anxious. The counterattack of Tambat Kingdom had only been going for a week and they had lost a piece of land. Now they had started attacking the second place with great momentum. Didn't they have to wait until after the court session?

Considering the court process, gathering evidence, pre-trial, trial and so on, a month was inevitable. In a month's time, it's not just about taking down those three remaining disputed territories; they could march straight to the capital.

"No, no, Mr. Zhang, we have important matters to discuss with you this time."

"What's up? Looking to settle in private?" Zhang Menglong said, "I'm fine with settling privately, but I won't ask for much, just 100 billion US dollars."

Cook almost spat blood on the spot, can they be at least slightly reasonable? Demanding 100 billion US dollars just like that, if they had 100 billion US dollars, they wouldn't be getting ground into the dust by Tambat Kingdom.

"Mr. Zhang, what I wanted to say is, we have found Mr. Domit's will that you mentioned last time!"

"Oh? Didn't you say he never made a will? Now how come you've found one? Did you use 'Impure World Reincarnation' to bring him back to life and then had him write it?" Zhang Menglong asked with a sneer.

"Mr. Zhang, you're quite the joker, it was a mistake on our part. One of our staff made an error in filing the information after notarizing Mr. Domit's will, which led to this situation."

"Really? You, the number one family in Brahma Country, the richest people, can actually make a mistake when making a will? You think you're being funny?" Zhang Menglong laughed.

"Mr. Zhang," Cook hurried to clarify, "we've reviewed Mr. Domit's will, and he suggested in the will that the Mahalast Family was founded by your ancestors and that the Mahalast Family was just managing the assets for your family. After his death, he wished for all assets to be transferred under your name. We have deemed this will valid after our assessment."

"Oh? Is that right?" Zhang Menglong remained utterly calm.

"However, Mr. Zhang, according to our laws, inheritance by non-direct relatives is subject to a certain percentage of estate tax. As per the regulations, the estate tax rate is 20%. Based on our calculations, the Mahalast Family's assets amount to approximately 27.95 trillion US dollars, which means we need to deduct 5.59 trillion US dollars."

"Hahaha, that's hilarious, the assets were originally mine, just returning to the rightful owner, and I need to pay taxes?" Zhang Menglong was speechless, he thought these people could be a bit smarter, but even now they were pulling these stunts. A 20% inheritance tax? He couldn't believe they had the nerve to say it, their greed was just too unsightly.

"Forget it, I don't want it!"

"Huh?" Cook was startled. What did he mean by he didn't want it?

"I mean, I can't be bothered with these assets. Give them to whoever you want, I'm not short of 5.59 trillion US dollars, nor am I short of 27.95 trillion US dollars. You're giving me so little, trying to treat me like a beggar?"

Is this what they call treating someone like a beggar? Even after the estate tax deduction, that's still over 22 trillion US dollars. Do they really think it's okay to toss around that kind of money like it's for a beggar?

"Alright, let's end our call here. I went to check out the Xuli style decoration last time and found it quite nice. Now I'm planning to go see the Ira style decoration, so I'm just giving you a heads up and saving you the trouble of continuing to monitor my moves."

Cook panicked on the spot. Ira couldn't be much better than Xuli; it was also a place rife with war. By the sound of it, it seemed like he was about to procure another batch of military arms from Ira!

What were these arms for? Obviously, to keep supplying the Tambat Kingdom.

Zhang Menglong was indirectly telling him that he was totally unsatisfied with their handling of the matter. Since he was unsatisfied, it meant he would let the Tambat Kingdom keep attacking them until they came up with a solution that pleased Zhang Menglong!

"Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment, I'll go inquire again right now, we can negotiate the estate tax."

"No need to negotiate," Zhang Menglong said, "You better understand, it's you who are asking me, not the other way around. My patience is limited, and I really couldn't care less about those 3 trillion dollars. Do whatever you want with them, but let me tell you, I am very annoyed!"
