"What? Did he really say that?" Upon hearing Cook's feedback, the top echelons of Brahma Country imdiately began slamming the table one after another.
"We've already given him a way to back down, what exactly does he want?"
"He's displeased? We're even more displeased. We're a populous nation; should we really bow and apologize to soone like him?"
"If we're pushed too far, we'll make sure both parties suffer!"
"Both parties suffer?" A middle-aged man sitting in the corner sneered, "What will you use to make both parties suffer, your shit-filled heads? I've said from the beginning, don't ss with Huaxia folks, and especially not Zhang nglong. You brought this on yourselves!"
"Mahar, is now the ti for such talk?" Another middle-aged man was clearly annoyed but lacked any confidence to refute. This legislator nad Mahar was the only one who had suggested not to ddle in the affairs of the Mahalast Family.
"Exactly, is our country really afraid of one man? Even the strongest individual power is nothing but dust before the might of a nation's machinery," another legislator argued.
"Oh, is that so?" Mahar laughed, "That's only because poverty has limited your imagination. Of course, one person can't contend with the machinery of a nation, but that's simply because that person isn't powerful enough. If soone possesses a wealth of a hundred trillion US dollars and commands an army of tens of thousands of fighters, do you still think such a person can't compete with a nation?"
This question stunned everyone present. If one individual really had such wealth and power, forget contending with a nation, they could even sweep through Earth, right?
"Take a look at this!" Mahar threw a stack of files onto the table.
This was Mahar's investigation into Zhang nglong. "Setting aside his military prowess for the mont, do you know how much money Zhang nglong actually has?"
"Qingqiu Country, 820 billion US dollars, Huaxia 8 trillion US dollars, Arica, 6.8 trillion US dollars, England 4.62 trillion US dollars... 98.93 trillion US dollars? How is that possible?"
This docunt clearly listed the amount of money Zhang nglong had deposited in various countries; according to the current exchange rate, the total was nearly a hundred trillion US dollars! The global GDP for a year doesn't even co close to this number.
"And this is just the cash that Zhang nglong has on hand!" said Mahar, "Including his real estate assets, this number might even be several tis higher!"
"That's impossible, his declared assets amount to just over a trillion US dollars!"
"Idiots, let
ask you, if he has the Mahalast Family managing his assets in Tambat Kingdom, wouldn't he have similar families doing the sa in other countries? Do you really think he would be so foolish as to register all his assets in his own na?"
This question abruptly awoke everyone from their dreams.
No wonder Zhang nglong could ignore assets worth three trillion US dollars so indifferently; those were just a drop in the bucket compared to his total wealth. He wasn't pretending not to care—he genuinely didn't care!
"You think he provided support to Tambat Kingdom simply because he had no other options?" Mahar said, "With a flick of his finger, he can manipulate that hundred trillion US dollars and make our entire Brahma Country's economy crumble. During this process, he could even absorb vast amounts of capital through finance. He chose this approach only to express his dissatisfaction!"
Mahar continued, "And here you are, still discussing how to deal with him. Do you really think you stand a chance against him? A hundred trillion US dollars—what country could withstand the economic war he could wage? Are you still na??vely believing that an individual cannot match a nation?"
This speech rendered everyone present utterly silent; the astronomical figure rendered them speechless, and it turned out they were the fools!
"Mahar, where did you get these docunts?" soone asked. If Zhang nglong had spokespersons like this in various countries, it would be impossible to get the total of these asset figures in principle.
"Mr. Hui Jie Yan, it's ti for you to show yourself."
The air distorted, and a gaunt figure appeared.
If Zhang nglong were here, he would imdiately recognize this person as Hui Jie Yan, whom he had been searching for months.
The current Hui Jie had undergone a trendous change from several months ago; the aura emanating from him had beco more unfathomable. In order to kill Zhang nglong, he had bided his ti in hiding for months. Now, he felt confident enough to face Zhang nglong in battle!
Within the space of the Main God, he had once obtained a very special object. However, because it was too dangerous, he had never dared to use it. But now, he had no choice. After enduring torturous agony, he had succeeded. This ti, he was out for revenge!
"You... You are that Hui Jie, Hui Jie Yi?"
"Mahar, this is a eting of our council; why did you bring him here?"
Suddenly, several powerful presences appeared in the office. As an ancient nation, Brahma Country also had many powerful humans from the second world as important council mbers, and naturally, they would have their protection.
"Be careful, Mr. Chairman, this man is very powerful!" The psychics of Brahma Country had grave expressions on their faces. The strongest among them had reached the level of a Level Seven super psychic, but their instincts told them that this man was even stronger than they were.
"If I really wanted to do sothing, do you think you could stop ?" Hui Jie Yi sneered, and out of the void, a pitch-black claw materialized, snatching up the three psychics and hoisting them into the air.
All the council mbers were dumbfounded; their nation's three strongest psychics were held in Hui Jie Yi's hand like chicks.
"Mr. Hui Jie!" Mahar hurriedly tried to diate.
"Hmph!"
The black claw dissipated into a dark mist, and the three psychics were discarded aside like trash.
"Mr. Hui Jie, what exactly do you want from us?"
"I'd like to propose a cooperation," Hui Jie Yi said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? We have a common foe; don't you want to eliminate him?"
"How do we cooperate?" They, of course, wanted to eliminate Zhang nglong. "With your strength, killing him should be an easy task, right?"
"If he could be killed so easily, why on Earth would I have a global bounty on my head?" Hui Jie Yi's face was filled with resentnt. "I am confident I can kill him, but I need a bit of help from you."
"How do you want us to help you?"
"I need to enter your Brahma Temple!"
"What? That is absolutely not possible!" The council mbers imdiately t this demand with strong opposition.
The Brahma Temple was a historic relic of the Brahma Country. Of course, that was only for the ordinary people, but it was also the cradle of psychics for the Brahma Country!
This Brahma Temple bore many ancient legends of the Brahma Country. They suspected it was a remnant left by those powerful beings of the past. This place held the powers left by those beings, and those with unique physiques who entered this place had the chance to gain these powers.
It was said that the temple harbored the power of the Ghost Gods, and for the faith of the Brahma Country, the Ghost Gods were sacred and majestic. How could they possibly allow a foreigner to enter?
"It's your choice!" Hui Jie Yi declared, "Unless you're willing to sacrifice your dignity and apologize to this man from Huaxia, allowing your pride to be trampled under his feet."
"Give us so ti," the council mbers said, their faces grave. If Zhang nglong's wealth was as terrifying as Mahar's information suggested, they could just play dead.
Half an hour later, they gave their answer.
"Fine, you may enter, but you must promise us that you will eliminate Zhang nglong!"
