Chapter 553: Do you know that I'm in charge of this part of Earth?
"Menglong, about the auntie at your house..."
Wang Ling had been to Zhang Menglong's house more than once, and he had seen this auntie several times as well. Her last name was Gu, and she was mainly responsible for the household cleaning and shopping.
Auntie Gu was usually very polite to everyone, and she always had a smile on her face. She treated Wang Ling very warmly and politely, but now it seemed that this was just an appearance.
Lu Yiyao was also surprised. In Jiangnan City, aside from Zhang Menglong, the person she had the most contact with was Auntie Gu, a woman who cared for her meticulously just like a mother, yet she felt like she didn't know her at all!
"Didn't I tell you before, not just anyone can work at my house," Zhang Menglong said, "Auntie Gu used to be my mom's personal bodyguard when she was young. Even Ye Yin might not be able to beat her."
"Everyone in your family is a monster, right?" Wang Ling's mouth twitched.
"Also, the security guards in the residential buildings in the city center, he used to be my dad's bodyguard. He just retired and had nothing better to do, so he came to find something to keep himself busy."
"You might not believe this, but do you think those people who look like construction workers are just ordinary workers?" Zhang Menglong pointed at the group of workers who were cleaning up the collapsed wall.
"You're not going to tell me that they are all experts too, are you?"
"These are basic skills for our household staff," Zhang Menglong said, "They might not be as powerful as Ye Yin, Auntie Gu, or Wang Bao'an, but any one of them could sweep through Realm Island."
"I'm fucking shocked for a whole year." Wang Ling had not expected that these seemingly ordinary people he had met before were all deeply hidden super-skilled masters. Perhaps this was just what a household of the Earth's chieftain was like.
"You people, coming here early in the morning to smash and make noise, don't you know there are children living in this villa area? Our neighbors were about to call the police!" Auntie Gu gripped the arm of the second elder and advanced step by step.
The second elder didn't dare to move at all, feeling as if the slightest movement would twist his hand into a pretzel.
"You think being an Ancient Martial Artist is something special? Realm Island, I've never even heard of it. I don't care what you do outside, but if it affects my work again, I'll demolish your so-called Realm Island tonight!"
"Shit, Auntie Gu is really fierce!" Wang Ling whispered.
"It's my first time seeing Auntie Gu lose her temper," Zhang Menglong whispered back; the usually kind and cordial aunt was unexpectedly irritable today.
"Let's drop it, Auntie Gu, I'll handle this matter myself," Zhang Menglong said.
"Okay, then I'll go prepare lunch for you." Auntie Gu glared at the second elder, and finally released his arm, "Dare to smash the wall again, and I'll smash you!"
Instantly, the second elder began grimacing in pain while rubbing his arm. The woman's strength was so terrifying, she might even surpass the Island Master. What kind of household was this, where even a housekeeping auntie was so formidable?
Although there had been no real fight, he knew very well that if he had gotten into a fight with Auntie Gu just now, his end might have been similar to Tong Wei's.
"Is there anything else? If not, you may leave," Zhang Menglong waved his hand. It was clear that this second elder wanted to impose himself; he probably didn't prepare any compensation.
Now the second elder truly realized that Tong Wei had provoked a monster this time. With his abilities, using force wouldn't save Tong Wei, let alone himself!
"Young master, I am the second elder of Realm Island. Tong Wei inadvertently offended you all, and I'm here to apologize on his behalf. But Tong Wei is the Direct Disciple of our Island Master. I hope you will allow me to take him away. If you ever visit Realm Island in the future, we will make sure to treat you well," the second elder said somewhat submissively.
"That won't do!" Wang Ling was the first to object, "He damaged our cars and houses, and he even threw me into the Qiantang River yesterday. You think a simple apology is enough?"
"This card contains 10 million US dollars, which should be enough to compensate for your losses," the second elder took out a bank card from an international bank. The power of Realm Island spread across the world, and it was easy for them to come up with a few million US dollars.
"Are you treating me like a beggar here?" Wang Ling pointed to the Koenigsegg and said, "Just this car alone costs hundreds of millions of US dollars. Are you kidding me?"
"How about this, everyone calculate your losses and give me a figure," the second elder compromised, hoping to avoid a direct conflict with these people.
"Didn't he tell you?" Wang Ling pointed at Tong Wei and said, "He owes us 160 billion US dollars."
"Wait, I'm not in a good mood now, and I've decided to double the compensation for my mental distress and my girlfriend's, making it a total of 200 billion US dollars."
Hearing this, the second elder almost spat out blood. You're just short of writing the words 'robbery' on your face, aren't you?
Pulling out a few hundred million US dollars was not a problem for Realm Island, but 200 billion US dollars, that was an astronomical figure for anyone.
"If you don't have the money, just get lost," Wang Ling grew much tougher now. "Come back to ransom this fool once you've gathered the money."
"Are you really choosing to oppose Realm Island?" The second elder's expression became much darker at that moment.
"Maybe you really are powerful, but the dignity of Realm Island is not something anyone can trample on," the second elder said. "Realm Island's members have businesses all over the world; with just one word from me, I could destabilize the global economy. Perhaps you aren't afraid, but can your country handle it?"
"Hahaha, Menglong, he's flaunting his wealth in front of you!" Wang Ling laughed as if he had heard the funniest thing. Shouldn't this line belong to Zhang Menglong?
"Hong Yi, come here!"
Hong Yi walked into the living room and looked calmly at Tong Wei lying on the floor and the second elder flaunting his power. "What do you need, Mr. Zhang?"
"Help me check exactly how much direct assets Realm Island has."
"Mr. Zhang, when investigating Realm Island, it was already clear their liquid and fixed assets worldwide amount to approximately 10.7 trillion US dollars," she said.
The second elder was surprised. He knew that the assets of Realm Island were certainly calculated in trillions of US dollars, but he didn't know the exact figure; that this woman could investigate everything so thoroughly slightly alarmed him.
"That's not a small amount," Zhang Menglong remarked. Such massive assets could indeed destabilize the world economy.
"How long would it take to take over these assets?"
"At the fastest, 17 days."
"Good, I'll give you 20 days. I want to make these Realm Island people so poor they can't even afford their pants!"
"Understood, Mr. Zhang. I'll start arranging it now."
"17 days... to take over all the assets of Realm Island?" The second elder of course thought this was a joke. How could anyone achieve such a thing? Unless a person's total assets were ten times, a hundred times, or even more of 10 trillion US dollars.
But could anyone possess such terrifying assets? Even if Zhang Menglong was the richest man in the world, it was impossible. Moreover, according to the Forbes rankings, Zhang Menglong's assets were just under 10 trillion US dollars, right?
"Do you know who has the oversight over this part of the Earth?" Zhang Menglong sneered. "Considering your threat earlier, I think this compensation needs to be super-doubled. I'm giving you three days to gather it. If you can't, not only will this grandson not survive, but I'll personally take over the money myself!"
