I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1399 - 1403: I’ll Just Talk My Way Through

"What ideas? Tell me about it?" Zhang Menglong knew that Kerk's willingness to overlook past grievances, even giving them a hush money, definitely had another purpose. It seemed now was Kerk's true intention!

"You guys, leave us for now!" It seemed to be a very confidential matter, so Kerk asked his men to exit the room.

"Gentlemen, do you know what is the richest organization in the world?" Kerk asked.

"Time Bank and the Hand of God Association!" Aubi, a local of this world, blurted out the answer without hesitation.

Seeing Zhang Menglong's slightly confused expression, Aubi realized Zhang might not know much about this. It was normal not to know about the Hand of God Association, but not knowing about the Time Bank was somewhat odd, almost as if he wasn't from this world.

Nonetheless, he gave Zhang Menglong a brief explanation.

The Time Bank, as the name implies, is a bank that stores Time Coins. In this world, there's only one such bank. It's said that at the bank's headquarters, there's an unimaginably vast amount of Time Coins stored. If all these Time Coins were piled onto one person, something extraordinary might happen.

As for the Hand of God Association, it sounds like it's related to doctors, but in reality, it's an association entirely comprised of casinos, with all members being casinos.

While the funds controlled by the Hand of God Association can't match those of the Time Bank, the flow of assets through it daily far surpasses that of the Time Bank. Thus, its influence is not weaker.

"Exactly, Time Bank and the Hand of God Association," said Kerk. "Our casino is also a member of the Hand of God Association, and what I want to discuss this time pertains to the association."

"Tell me more."

"It's like this, our Hand of God Association members are categorized into different strata. The association has a total of five membership levels; Level One is the lowest, Level Five is the highest. Above Level Five, there's a council, consisting of five positions. They make all major and minor decisions for the association."

"And what about you?"

"We are currently a Level Three member," Kerk explained, "Apart from scale, the most crucial factor in determining a member's ranking is gambling skill! The new round of reshuffling and transitioning is happening early next month, so..."

"You want me to represent your casino in this transition?" Zhang Menglong immediately grasped Kerk's intent.

"Yes," Kerk said, "Every transition involves a grand gamble, and the outcome of this gamble will reorder the ranks of us members again.

Zhang Menglong and Aubi's capabilities truly tempted Kerk.

The casino's top foreign aid is the Gambling King. It is thanks to him that their casino holds its current status.

But today, this Gambling King was effortlessly defeated by the two of them. If he doesn't extend an olive branch now, when would he?

"What's in it for me?" Zhang Menglong spread his hands, "I'm not interested in your ranking unless there's more money involved."

"Hahaha, we certainly won't let the God of Gamblers and Mr. Gambling Genius make efforts in vain," Kerk said, "and frankly, the reward we can offer might not interest you."

"You said I might not be interested, so why would I bother?"

"Mr. Gambling Genius, don't rush. I haven't finished yet. Although we might not be able to offer a reward enticing enough for you, this gamble is a real deal," Kerk said, "This gamble is extremely cruel. Every casino must wager all its funds, and if they lose it all, they'll be expelled from the association!"

"Oh?"

"In the last reshuffling, our casino did relatively well. Not only did we save our capital, but we also earned over 30 trillion Yen Coins, so we were ranked as Level Three members at the time."

"Is that how much money a Level Three member has?" Zhang Menglong exclaimed, "What about Level Four, Level Five, and those governing members?"

"A Level Four member's assets are between 1 to 3 quintillion, Level Five between 3 to 10 quintillion, and a governing member definitely has assets exceeding 10 quintillion Yen Coins!" Kerk carefully observed Zhang Menglong's expression, and when he saw a curve appear at the corner of Zhang Menglong's mouth, he knew they were in.

"Mr. Gambling Genius, I can also share a piece of news with you, the president's casino of the council has assets of over 200 quintillion!"

"Hiss!" Even Zhang Menglong couldn't help but gasp at the enormous wealth.

"So, if you have enough skill, the money you can win from this gamble will be far greater than any reward we could offer, right?" Kerk laughed.

"Mr. Kerk, what if I win all their money?" Zhang Menglong excitedly rubbed his hands together.

"Win it all?" Kerk was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, currently, Zhang Menglong and Aubi seemed impressive, but the other casinos also had their masters. Their strategies were endless, and he wasn't sure Menglong's words would have any effect on them.

To Kerk, maintaining their current membership level or even advancing to Level Four would be quite good. He didn't expect Zhang Menglong's ambition to be so large!

If they could win all the casinos' money, then from that point on, their casino would dominate, and the Hand of God Association would cease to exist. By then, their status in this world would be comparable to the Time Bank!

As for safety concerns, with money, wouldn't it be easy to hire powerful bodyguards?

"How much money do all the members combined have in your Hand of God Association?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously.

"That's hard to say since no one reveals their assets," Kerk replied, "but conservatively estimated, the total sum is over 8,000 quintillion!"

"Wuhu!" Zhang Menglong displayed an excited expression. 8,000 quintillion was enough for him to restore all his powers, and by then, there'd be much more room for maneuver.

"If Mr. Gambling Genius agrees to help us, you can keep 90% of the winnings from this gamble; we'll just hold on to 10%," Kerk directly put forward his offer.

If Zhang Menglong could indeed bankrupt all other casinos, even if they were left with only 10% of the total assets, it would establish their position. As for making money, that could happen over time.

"I'll take the job," With such an opportunity, how could Zhang Menglong possibly refuse?

"Great!" Kerk showed joy, "Is there anything you two gentlemen need to prepare?"

"Hmm... there's nothing much to prepare. My friend Aubi will take care of the gambling while I'll just contribute with my words," Zhang Menglong thought for a moment, "If possible, I hope as many people as possible can watch this game."

This was a great opportunity to earn Cred Points. If no one saw him showing off, wouldn't that be a waste?

"That's simple," Kerk smiled, "In this world, gambling is legal, and there are various streaming platforms. This request just requires spending a little money to buy some traffic."

Once Zhang Menglong and Aubi truly start dominating in the casino, they wouldn't even need to buy traffic anymore; more and more people would naturally tune in to watch their gambling sessions.

"Then let's toast to a successful collaboration!"

"To a successful collaboration!"
