I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 692 - 690: You Are Free Now

"Zhang Menglong, you're exploiting the crisis!" Britos's teeth were nearly grinding.

"No, what you said isn't quite accurate, strictly speaking, I'm extorting you!" Zhang Menglong said unabashedly. "If you don't like it, come and fight me. I just love that look on your face when you're annoyed by me but can't do anything about it!"

"10 trillion US dollars, do you think we can come up with such a high ransom?" Britos knew that Zhang Menglong was blatantly bullying them, he was aware of it, but he was powerless against him.

This experimental base was the headquarters of the Supernaturals Alliance! Except for a few psychics carrying out tasks elsewhere, more than 80% of America's psychics were here, and more than 90% of the divine psychics were here, and now their lives were all in Zhang Menglong's hands.

Forget about the Second World Convention, those who are bound by such conventions are those without power. Truly powerful individuals can ignore any rule!

So what if Zhang Menglong violated the Second World Convention? Who could sanction him? Who would dare to sanction him?

"I know you can't pay now!"

Although they were the largest users of the US dollar, in the last two years, citizens' total deposits amounted to 80 trillion Huaxia currency, which is just over a dozen trillion US dollars.

But even if they drained the banks, it would be impossible to gather 10 trillion US dollars for Zhang Menglong, since a bank's money isn't simply available as much as you have deposited, after all, banks also need to invest and loan money out.

According to America's 5% bank reserve requirement, the most they could immediately access was less than 1 trillion US dollars. What the hell could they scrape together to come up with that money?

"Then I'll give you two more options," Zhang Menglong said calmly, "First, you could just turn on the printing presses and print 10 trillion US dollars and be done with it."

"That's impossible!"

Because of Zhang Menglong's large-scale treasury bonds dumping, the US dollar had already started to depreciate severely, and the exchange rate with the Huaxia currency had already dropped to 1:5.743.

If they started printing money now, the depreciation of the US dollar would snowball, and the situation in Venezuela would soon occur in their own country.

"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!" Zhang Menglong struck Britos on the head repeatedly. "You're just a prisoner now, you have no right to say 'no' to me!"

"You two, break his legs!" Zhang Menglong then ordered the two psychics from before.

"You..."

"Snap!" freewēbnoveℓ.com

Two crisp sounds followed, and Britos let out a scream, immediately falling to his knees.

"You two did well, you may leave now!"

The two psychics, as if pardoned, couldn't wait to leave this dreaded place and from then on they left the Supernaturals Alliance to find a place where no one knew them and live as carefree millionaires.

"Now that you're kneeling on the ground and talking to me, do you still feel superior?" Zhang Menglong looked down and said.

"Not printing money isn't the only option," Zhang Menglong proposed, "After all, you already owe me 18 trillion US dollars in national debt. We might as well lump this remaining 10 trillion in together, but the interest can't stay at just these 4 points!"

"I am a very fair person, just now that someone, the annual interest rate is 20%. You'll calculate it at that rate too," Zhang Menglong pulled out a calculator, "That's 5.6 trillion US dollars of interest a year!"

Hearing this figure, Britos almost passed out.

Their annual GDP was only around 20 trillion US dollars. If they didn't eat or drink and worked all year, a quarter of their income would have to go to Zhang Menglong. How could their country develop at all?

And this was just the interest; if they had to pay off some of the principal, the amount they'd have to spend each year would be even more immense. Would the people not eat? Would the country not build? Should they all just work for you instead?

Zhang Menglong felt no mercy for these Americans.

In Zhang Menglong's intelligence station, it was the Americans who initiated the invitation, gathering everyone together to find ways to deal with Zhang Menglong.

If he weren't capable, he would now either be bankrupt and living in poverty, or have his plane shot down and sunk to the bottom of the sea, or he would be the one who had become the prisoner.

Victors write the terms, that's the law of this world.

"Or how about this!" Zhang Menglong had another idea, "You can use various means to offset the debt, henceforth, when Huaxia imports and exports, you can't charge tariffs, Huaxia tourists in your country must have their food, lodging, entertainment, and flights all covered; all these expenses can be offset against the debt."

Upon hearing this, Britos couldn't help but feel that, although the condition seemed to be in their favor, wasn't it turning America into Huaxia's vacation resort? And a free one at that!

He understood all-inclusive board and lodging, but what did "all-inclusive fun" mean? What exactly were you planning to play with, huh? Clarify that!

Britos didn't dare talk about the interest with Zhang Menglong because if he dared to mention it, Zhang Menglong would dare to raise the interest rates. He had already seen Zhang Menglong's shameless and reverse operations time and again.

"Alright, I'll report this matter. We are willing to bear this 10 trillion US dollars of national debt. I also ask Mister Zhang to be magnanimous and not sell off these national debts anymore." Britos finally lowered his head.

"Wouldn't it have been better to admit defeat earlier?" Zhang Menglong immediately showed a content smile.

"Hong Yi, pack up!" Zhang Menglong ordered, as he now controlled over a hundred billion US dollars in funds, and the devaluation of the US dollar was of no benefit to him.

"Mister Zhang, this time we have earned about 5 trillion US dollars from various countries' capital markets in total."

"Hmm, throw 100 billion US dollars to Wang Ling and the others for distribution; consider it their bonus."

"Yes!"

...

"Mister Zhang, we have agreed to all your requests, so now..."

"What, you want me to leave on my own?" Zhang Menglong glared, "I came here how you brought me, and you're going to send me back the same way. Didn't your parents teach you any manners?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll arrange the plane right away!" Britos started to make arrangements.

...

"Awoo!"

At that moment, Zhang Menglong suddenly heard a beastly roar coming from beneath his feet, and even felt a surge of energy constantly flowing outward.

"What's going on, what kind of monster is locked up down there?"

Britos's face changed and he immediately explained, "Mister Zhang, some extremely vicious criminals are locked up below, among them are a few who aren't quite right in the head, always liking to scream and shout."

"Oh?" Zhang Menglong teleported and appeared directly outside the cell.

Through a small window, Zhang Menglong saw a disheveled person inside who looked like a madman; however, his aura almost reached an energy intensity of 22 units.

Setting aside Zhang Menglong's people, this person was even stronger than the Divine Yin Wuyi!

Name: Hirak Lucius

Race: Humans

Gift: Spiritual Power

Note: This is a tragic experimental subject.

"Is he someone they used for experiments?" Through the information shown on the dean's ring, Zhang Menglong instantly got the information about this person.

"Such anti-human acts deserve a good lesson!" Zhang Menglong stretched out a hand and easily opened the door, which even a peak-level psychic with divine powers couldn't destroy.

Sensing something was off, Britos had just reached the corner, and when he saw Zhang Menglong open the door, he was stunned.

This Hirak was their most successful experimental subject so far, but because he was too powerful and had a strong autonomous consciousness, he had broken free from their control.

Five years ago, Hirak was still at the level of a divine psychic, so they subdued him and kept him here, suppressed by some devices. Over five years, his power had become unfathomable, and his release would be a disaster for the entire Supernaturals Alliance!

Zhang Menglong smiled at Hirak inside, "Brother, you're free now! These people, kill or flay them as you wish; I'm heading out!"
