I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1714

"We'll see. I hope you can still speak so boldly when you reach the Hong Yun Empire!" With a vicious glare at Zhang Menglong, Hongyang left with those harsh words.

"Sande!" Zhang Menglong didn't pay any heed to him. Anyone can talk tough. As for who will have bad luck after reaching the Hong Yun Empire, that's another story. Suddenly, he remembered he needed someone to help collect money for him, since his time was too precious to be wasted on collecting funds.

"Brother Gu!" Upon hearing Zhang Menglong's call, Yang Sande eagerly ran out from the crowd. "Brother Gu, you truly hide your talents well! When I first met you, I knew you were no ordinary person. Today, you've really opened my eyes!"

Yang Sande had been watching for a while. Zhang Menglong had given him too many surprises. Not only did he eliminate two of the three major heads of the Skyless Realm, but he even had some connections with Dark Hand, who clearly held him in high regard.

The last time Zhang Menglong asked him about auction items, he didn't expect that the seller of the perfect elixir, which had caused a sensation throughout the Skyless Realm, was him!

Now, he almost single-handedly took over the entire Teleportation Array business of the Skyless Realm, with transactions worth hundreds of trillion, even tens of thousands of trillion, flowing into his pockets. In his entire life, there weren't many people he admired. Zhang Menglong was one of them!

"You're really here!" Seeing Yang Sande's comical face, Zhang Menglong couldn't help but chuckle.

"Brother Gu, what do you need me for?" Yang Sande curiously asked. At this moment, he didn't know why Zhang Menglong called him out, or what was so important.

"I want you to do me a favor," Zhang Menglong said. "I plan to have you handle the sales of the Teleportation Array quotas for me!"

"What? This... this business is for me?" Yang Sande's voice trembled with surprise. Was this something he was qualified to handle?

"That's right," Zhang Menglong chuckled. "In this Skyless Realm, I don't know any other friends besides you. I feel more at ease entrusting you with this. No matter how many quotas are sold, you'll get ten percent of the profit per quota. How about that?"

"Ten percent!" Yang Sande's eyes gleamed.

In the Skyless Realm, you might think of Yang Sande as a big figure, but he had neither reputation nor actual status.

But if you think of him as a small fry, his connections in the Skyless Realm were indeed quite advantageous; he could speak with people from any domain.

In the Skyless Realm, he lived a life of modest comfort, better than most people.

But now, such a huge business opportunity lay before him. If done well, even a ten percent share was more than he could earn in hundreds of lifetimes. In the Skyless Realm, there's nothing money can't buy, including lives. This opportunity could absolutely change his destiny.

"But..." Yang Sande was quickly torn by hesitation.

Zhang Menglong could be so brazen because he had a magical scroll in his hand, powerful enough to make anyone in the Skyless Realm tremble with fear.

Everyone knew Zhang Menglong couldn't kill everyone, but someone would definitely die, and no one wanted that to be them. This fear naturally took root.

But Yang Sande didn't possess such power. His bodyguards weren't even noteworthy figures in the Skyless Realm. Even a common person, due to possessing such a huge business, would have countless people wanting him dead. From then on, his life would be filled with danger.

"Are you worried that you don't have the power to control such resources?" Zhang Menglong immediately saw through Yang Sande's inner thoughts.

"Yes, Brother Gu, as you know, I'm just a seller of information. I'm not capable of handling such a big affair."

"No, you are capable," Zhang Menglong smiled. "What you lack is just a backer. Starting now, I'll be your backer."

"Dark Hand, may I inquire if there are any core members in the Black Rock Auction House besides Yun Cangzi?"

"Yes," Dark Hand replied. "He has a team of competent aides, and apart from him, there's also a Ninth Grade Divine Cultivator."

"Do me a favor and bring him over," Zhang Menglong said, "I'll offer a Level Six Saint Grade Elixir."

Dark Hand's eyes lit up. He scanned the area and instantly found the person Zhang Menglong mentioned. With a flicker, he appeared next to an elderly-looking man who had a resemblance to Yun Cangzi, and their auras were quite similar too.

Dark Hand grabbed his shoulder and flickered back to Zhang Menglong's side.

"His name is Yu Lingzi, Yun Cangzi's younger brother."

"Catch this!" Zhang Menglong tossed over a bottle.

Dark Hand opened it for a sniff and immediately put it away. It was the easiest deal he'd ever done.

"Yu Lingzi, right?" Zhang Menglong sized him up. "Do you want to avenge your brother?"

"Mr. Gu, you must be joking. It was my brother who overestimated himself and attacked you first; it's understandable you defended yourself," Yu Lingzi replied with a forced smile, his gaze occasionally darting to the puppet beside Zhang Menglong.

"You're far more astute than your brother," Zhang Menglong chuckled. "The Black Rock Auction House needs a manager now. Are you willing to take the role?"

Yu Lingzi's eyes lit up. Despite Yun Cangzi being his brother, in this place, brothers were often used as pawns. If Yun Cangzi hadn't died, he'd never have the chance to take the lead from a second-in-command to the top position.

"I'm willing!" Yu Lingzi immediately stated. "About forty percent of the auction house people are loyal to me. I'm confident I can convince the rest to submit, and as for the others, I have ways to make them disappear."

"Good," Zhang Menglong nodded. "Give me your Soul Core Mark. From now on, you're the owner of the Black Rock Auction House!"

Yu Lingzi knew that once he offered his Soul Core Mark, he'd be under someone else's control. But from another perspective, it might be a chance. Clearly, he didn't have much choice; if he refused, Zhang Menglong could find someone else willing, but Yu Lingzi might not survive.

"Mr. Gu, here's my Soul Mark!" After contemplating, Yu Lingzi decided to take the gamble.

Zhang Menglong took the mark with satisfaction and nodded, "Great, you're very sensible. Everything I promised is valid. Now, I give you three days to take control of the entire Black Rock Auction House by any means necessary. If you encounter any problems, you can seek Mr. Dark Hand's help."

"Also, Yang Sande is my friend, and you've heard what I just said. I want you to assist him in this matter. After it's done, I can give you ten percent of the profit. Besides, I have things to offer that will make you stronger than your brother."

Yu Lingzi was overjoyed. Though it was a blank check, it gave him hope because his instincts told him Zhang Menglong's words were genuine.

"Everyone present, let me advise you," Zhang Menglong said. "I have enough money to summon the puppet three times. If you're not afraid of death, feel free to cause trouble for me. I may die, but I guarantee that at least three of you will die before I do, and it could very well be any of you!"

As Zhang Menglong finished speaking, the puppet vanished from his side.

However, no one dared to make a move. Just as Zhang Menglong said, no one wanted to bet their life!
