The hijacking and extortion plan of the Huaxia team finally ended amidst the sly smiles of the young Taoist Zhang Haoming and the oppressive, great commercial proposal of monkey reproduction and sales.
Andrei Ivanov and Viktor Ivanov, the two brothers, stated that the Siberian Special Zone was an eternal, friendly, and loyal ally of Huaxia, and that they themselves were among Elder Lin's closest and most intimate friends.
Under the great goal of Elder Lin in assembling a legion to fight for the protection of humankind, Andrei Ivanov and Viktor Ivanov, representing the Siberian Special Zone, were willing to donate 300,000 Lord-level crystal cores to their eternal ally.
This act was deeply praised by the people of Huaxia, who stated that with war imminent and insufficient military funds, they needed their most friendly partners to continue their efforts for next year's friendship.
In response, Andrei Ivanov and Viktor Ivanov, with tears streaming down their faces, said that they were all friends, and if a friend was in trouble, the Siberian Special Zone, under the leadership of President Kimir, would fully support their ally. They added that they would immediately contact home to raise military funds for Huaxia and then left without looking back.
Er Hei from the African Special Zone, as soon as Zhang Haoming's gaze fell upon him, expressed his willingness to contribute 100,000 Lord-level crystal cores to Huaxia. Upon seeing Zhang Haoming's agreement, he said his goodbyes and hurried away.
Wang Er Zhuang and a few others watched the three quickly flee, sighing, "Alas, Haoming, did we ask for too little from this dark one?"
The young Taoist shook his head and said, "Brother Er Hu, it's not that we asked for too little, but that this fellow is truly poor. If he couldn't even come up with these 100,000, I was even planning to sell him off like a monkey."
Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, the young Taoist continued, "When we get back, I'll properly research these two Siberian bears with my brother. They dare to mention people to me. In a few days, I'll find an excuse to send them another 300,000 in military expenses."
After speaking, Zhang Haoming swayed unsteadily as he headed towards the mountain villa.
Wang Er Zhuang, Meng Gang, and the other brute-like men looked at the fair and plump little boy, a cold sweat breaking out on their backs, and said, "Brothers, why do I feel like Elder Lin's brother-in-law is even darker than he is? This little fatty absolutely cannot be offended."
Leng Shan nodded and said, "Er Hu, be more confident, and remove the 'feel.' This kid is not only darker than Elder Lin, but he also has no bottom line. If no one keeps him in check, it won't be long before he's pulling off loan sharking, filming videos, and all sorts of other messy stuff."
They all nodded in agreement, "That's entirely possible. We absolutely cannot borrow money from him in the future."
After speaking, they all walked back together, looking for a suitable villa.
Lin Zhan and Zhang Ling Xiu sat in the courtyard of the villa, while the Lin family's servants were tidying up the half-mountain villa, chosen by everyone, according to Zhang Ling Xiu's instructions.
As one of the current influential figures in Huaxia, Lin Zhan and his wife, who did not like luxury, followed the family's advice and brought nearly a hundred servants from the Lin family to manage the half-mountain villa.
In reality, this was merely a matter of face. Given Lin Zhan's current status and financial strength, living too frugally would make him look down upon. After all, financial strength was also a form of power; otherwise, Adam's father would not have generously paid Lin Zhan the ransom.
Moreover, Lin Zhan had earned a great deal of money recently through extortion, kidnapping, smashing operations, and smuggling, so these small sums were truly nothing to him.
While drinking afternoon tea and whispering sweet nothings, Lin Zhan and Zhang Ling Xiu, who were planning their future life together, were interrupted by the arrival of the young Taoist.
"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, the matter is settled," the young Taoist Zhang Haoming said, sitting opposite Lin Zhan.
Zhang Ling Xiu poured a cup of tea for the young Taoist and said, "Tell your big brother how it went. Just now, your big brother was talking about you."
Zhang Haoming grinned and said to Lin Zhan, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, I took Yin San Fo Zi for 1 million Lord-level crystal cores at the same price as Adam. After friendly negotiations, Andrei Ivanov and Viktor Ivanov, the two brothers, voluntarily donated 300,000 to us. And that Er Hei also gave us 100,000. Adding Adam's 1 million, we have 2.4 million Lord-level crystal cores this time, which is almost enough for the military expenses to form a legion of 5 million."
Lin Zhan was stunned after listening and said, "How did you get that stingy old man San Mu Ha to agree? And how did you also rope in Andrei and Viktor, and Er Hei?"
Zhang Haoming said with a sly grin, "Big Brother, the doctrine of San Mu Ha's bald monks forbids marriage and childbirth. I told the old man that if he didn't give money, I would have Er Hei find over 100 big, dark, fat women to marry and have children with the Fo Zi, and then sell the children worldwide, claiming it as a specialty of India. After that, San Mu Ha immediately caved and went back to his sect to raise the money."
"As for the Viktor brothers, I just looked at them curiously and said that they could give them a try. As for Er Hei, I didn't even have to say anything, and he immediately gave the money. However, Er Hei's money can come later; it will be given when his elder brother, Da Hei, arrives."
Lin Zhan and Zhang Ling Xiu stared at the young Taoist, dumbfounded, and said, "You're amazing, kid. You have the demeanor of our Lin family. With such talent, it's a waste for you not to be our Lin family's son-in-law."
Zhang Haoming smiled humbly and said, "Not at all, not at all. It's all thanks to Big Brother's good teachings."
Lin Zhan looked at the undisciplined chubby boy and said seriously, "Haoming, I want to discuss something with you. I hope you can agree and do as I say."
"Big Brother, tell me," Zhang Haoming said, becoming serious as he saw Lin Zhan's rare solemnity.
"Haoming, I plan to leave you in Gao Wu to study well. In one year's time, when the war is imminent, if the situation is unfavorable to our side, I will have someone bring you back. Until you grow up, you should not go to the battlefield again. Even if Old Ying and I, and all the others, were to die, you must guarantee your own safety." Su Dan Novel Network
Zhang Haoming was, after all, an intelligent person. As soon as Lin Zhan finished speaking, he understood the meaning: "Big Brother, we will all be alright, won't we? And I want to go to the battlefield with you. Brothers fight together, unless you don't acknowledge me as your brother-in-law."
Lin Zhan spoke to persuade him, "Haoming, listen to me first. This incident in Gao Wu shows that without us, even scumbags like Adam and Octavian could bully Huaxia to this extent. It's not just that the old guy Tai Ping can't do things fairly, but that the younger generation, apart from us, Huaxia truly has no one presentable. If we all die in battle, Huaxia will fall into a state of decline and lack of successors."
"Think carefully about what I've said."
