I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

At that moment, Murray's head buzzed, filled with countless question marks. Who was this person calling him? Why did they dare to speak to him, an investigator who reported directly to the center, with such a tone? 400 missiles aimed at their Presidential Palace? Was this person even awake?

The onlookers and journalists around him only heard a burst of loud static from the cell phone and could not make out what was being said, but from Murray's expression, it was clear this was no ordinary phone call.

Could it be that the phone call Zhang Menglong had just made was effective? This question popped into everyone's minds.

"Although I don't know who you are, or how you got my number, I must warn you formally that if you continue talking nonsense, I can hold you accountable for causing public panic. You should know that it's extremely easy for the state to trace a number!"

After all, he was a man who had weathered many storms, and within moments, Murray regained his composure.

As the Minister of Defense and a former military man, Busmuslin had a fiery temper, which had calmed slightly only upon assuming the role of Minister of Defense.

It had probably been many years since he had been as angry as he was today. A mere investigator, driven by his arrogance and ridiculous pride, had brought such a grave threat to national security. If Murray were in front of Busmuslin right now, he was sure he would blow his foolish head off!

And yet, Murray not only failed to realize how dangerous his actions were, he even displayed his authority in front of him, which instantly turned him into a lit fuse.

"Fine, I'll tell you who I am! I am Busmuslin, the Minister of Defense!" Busmuslin roared, "I'm telling you, right now across Europe, forty-some countries and regions, 52 intercontinental missiles, 386 ballistic and cruise missiles, are all aimed at our Presidential Palace!"

"What? How is that possible?" Murray's mind, which had just recovered slightly, crashed once again.

Although Murray had never met Busmuslin in person, he was very familiar with his voice. At this moment, he finally matched the voice on the phone with one in his memory.

Busmuslin was a renowned figure in Frankfurt; although hot-tempered and fiery, he was meticulous in his work and had always made national security his life's mission. Not only to the entire nation but even in Murray's heart, he was something of a hero.

Now, this hero was on the phone with him, but moments ago Murray had mistaken Busmuslin for some half-awake lunatic!

But what about those 400 missiles? He was just an investigator; surely, if such an incident were real, it was Busmuslin's job to handle it, right? Why would he call him? And from Busmuslin's tone, it seemed that this matter involved him too.

"You... you really are Minister Busmuslin?" Murray's tone suddenly became extremely reverent.

The people around him overheard Murray's words: the caller was the Minister of National Defense? Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

"Busmuslin? The Minister? From their investigation department?" To most people from Huaxia, this was an unfamiliar name.

"Damn, I checked it out. The former chief commander of the Air Force Command, Minister of National Defense, this title is really impressive!"

"I've heard of this man. He comes from a military family; his elders lived through two world wars, quite remarkable!"

"But what's the situation here? Did Zhang just get through to their Ministry of National Defense?"

"It's possible; otherwise, why would this guy look as if he ate shit?"

The scene suddenly quieted down; everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the content of the conversation, but it was no easy task. They could only guess from Murray's expressions what they were discussing.

"Nonsense, in the whole world, is there anyone who dares impersonate me?" Busmuslin cursed.

"Yes, yes, yes!" By now, Murray was wholly convinced, not because he deserved to be scolded, but if this person spoke to him gently and softly, then something was truly amiss.

"Minister, about the missiles you just mentioned... what does this have to do with me?" Murray didn't even know why he was so significant, what had he done that could make the missiles of all of Europe target them?

To be able to push all of Europe to such a degree was no ordinary feat.

"Do you realize what you are doing now?" Busmulin pointedly asked.

"Doing what?" Busmulin glanced at Zhang Menglong, in his worldview, it was utterly inconceivable to associate Zhang Menglong with the more than 400 missiles aimed at their country, "I was investigating a public safety incident that happened recently."

"Investigate my ass!" Busmulin cursed, "Right now, you immediately apologize to Mr. Zhang, and then respectfully send Mr. Zhang back! Whatever his demands are, you will comply without conditions, otherwise, I will arrest you for treason immediately!"

"Trea... treason?" A huge accusation was being levied on Murray, he was merely investigating a public safety incident, how could that be treason? What on earth was Zhang Menglong capable of, to have their Minister of Defense personally protect him?

"But Minister, this man caused a huge disturbance on Champs-Elysees yesterday with a group of insane people, causing severe economic losses. If we let him go, how can we explain it to the public?"

"Explain my ass!" Busmulin said, "I'm telling you, even if he had caused trouble at the Presidential Palace yesterday, today we would have to act as if nothing had happened!"

Murray's face turned ashen. How could one person make an entire nation compromise? This wasn't Qingqiu Country! This was Frankfurt! A highly developed country with extreme economic and military power!

"I know you might wonder why!" Busmulin said bluntly, "I'm telling you, I don't even know him! This isn't a personal decision of mine!"

"So you..." Busmulin didn't even know Zhang Menglong, so why was he forcing him to release someone?

"But the whole of Europe can't afford to provoke him!" Busmulin stated, "Those more than four hundred missiles are prepared by his men. If you dare to touch him, within minutes all these missiles will be heading towards our capital, and a third of our national power wouldn't be able to intercept them!"

Murray's face instantly turned pale.

He had originally thought Zhang Menglong's phone call was merely to seek help from some figure in the Kingdom of Frankfurt, but they outright didn't consider any person in their country at all. It was a bold move straight up!

You want to move against him? Then consider first if you can withstand a furious barrage of these four hundred missiles! He wasn't just playing unorthodoxly; he wasn't observing even a shred of martial morality!

"I... I'll release him immediately!" Murray's spirit was thoroughly shattered; he had even dared to allow someone to point a gun at Zhang Menglong's head!

A mere threat was enough to mobilize over 400 missiles. If Zhang Menglong were indeed harmed, the entire Frankfurt might virtually disappear from the world map!

"Who the hell is he?" If Murray had known the terrifying power and resources that Zhang Menglong controlled, he wouldn't have dared to detain Zhang Menglong even with a hundred guts!"

...

"Damn, the call's over?"

"But I didn't hear anything!"

"Neither did I! I didn't catch a thing!"

"Look, he's walking over here now!"

Murray, previously strutting with arrogance, carefully approached Zhang Menglong, his face displaying a flattering smile.

"Mr. Zhang, everything just now was a misunderstanding!"
