I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1549 - 1553: I’m Almost Losing Control
"No, we still have a chance!" The eyes of the two Grand Emperors ignited with the last glimmer of hope, "The power of the Forbidden Curse comes from the Spellcaster. If the Spellcaster is killed, then the Forbidden Curse will disperse immediately. Now, as long as Zhang Menglong is killed, the Royal Family still has a shred of hope."
"Go, don't hold back, try to kill in one strike!"
The two had been training together for many years, and had long achieved a harmonious bond. A thick murderous aura instantly enveloped Zhang Menglong, and the two began to cast magic towards him.
"Idiots! Do you think I am a fool?" Zhang Menglong sneered, having mastered various destructive Forbidden Curses, as well as many defensive ones!
A lotus flower blossomed beneath his feet, releasing energy that enveloped his body, and no matter how the two Grand Emperors attacked, Zhang Menglong remained unmoved.
"Defensive Forbidden Curse!" The eyes of the two darkened instantly, almost completely out of tricks!
At that moment, an enormous Magic Giant over 800 meters tall suddenly appeared before them, composed of stone burning with green flames. It raised its fist and swung the two away.
Their bodies shattered several buildings in the palace, lying in ruins like dead dogs, while the green rock Magic Giant began to summon green meteors to attack the palace.
"We'll pay, we'll pay!"
As the Forbidden Curse was about to smash into the palace, the Grand Emperor of the Mosla Empire finally couldn't hold back.
Unlike the Hertz Family, they were the product of dynastic changes throughout the Mosla Empire's history, but the Mosla Empire had existed continuously from its founding, regardless of changes in dynasties.
If the palace were destroyed, the royal lineage a billion years in the making would be obliterated in an instant.
Within the palace lay various treasures of the Royal Family, ancestral halls, and objects representing the Mosla Empire's imperial power, which, if destroyed, would render the Mosla Empire but a name only.
Given this situation, surrender was their only option!
"Oh?" Zhang Menglong waved his hand, and all the Forbidden Curses stopped abruptly less than 10 meters away from the tallest building of the Royal Family. Yes, not disappeared, but frozen in time, ready to continue falling at Zhang Menglong's whim!
"Time Magic!" The two exchanged glances.
Time Magic and Spatial Magic were the two most powerful types of magic, with Time being the most formidable. Zhang Menglong had managed to use magic power to suspend all Forbidden Curses, such prowess was terrifyingly powerful—could this be another powerful Forbidden Curse?
"If I heard correctly, you're willing to compensate?" Zhang Menglong smiled at them.
"Yes, we're willing to compensate for all losses to the Hertz Family!"
"Just all losses?" Zhang Menglong's tone turned unfriendly again.
"No, no, no," the two understood immediately, "not only all the Hertz Family's losses, but our Royal Family will also provide extra compensation to express our apologies."
"Remember, you offered voluntarily, I didn't force you." Zhang Menglong looked innocuous.
"Yes, it is our voluntary undertaking." Though cursing Zhang Menglong inwardly as duplicitous, the two Grand Emperors still agreed verbally.
"Raditz, have them sign and seal it!"
"Got it!" Raditz quickly took out what had already been prepared, "This is a contract executed by the highest authority of the Mosla Empire. If they dare breach it, they'd be slapping their own face."
"We'll sign!" The two told Hera, "Hera, you go sign!"
Hera had already become numb at this point.
Originally thinking the appearance of the two Grand Emperors would turn the tide, they never imagined this would still be the outcome. Zhang Menglong's Forbidden Curses rained down, rendering them defenseless.
Now, Hera finally understood why Garson, the President of the Magicians' Association, had treated Zhang Menglong with such deference yesterday.
The magic robe, being issued by their Magicians' Association, was naturally vetted and assessed by them. How could they not know threatening Zhang Menglong was like provoking disaster?
Garson clearly knew that casting Forbidden Curses was effortless for Zhang Menglong, one after another, hence he refrained from provoking him—it's the Royal Family eating this loss!
"Garson, you cunning old fox!" Hera cursed internally but couldn't change their current predicament.
He took the agreement Raditz handed over and glanced through its contents, turning pale.
What kind of compensation agreement was this? This was a clearly inequitable treaty, wasn't it?
Clause one: The losses caused to the Hertz Family by the Royal Family yesterday require double compensation!
Clause two: To settle temporarily homeless members of the Hertz Family, the Royal Family must grant them a scenic, lively, traffic-convenient area to reside in, no smaller than their original estate!
Clause three: The Royal Family must pay the Hertz Family a mental anguish compensation, totaling 200 billion Tianyuan.
Clause four: The Royal Family of the Mosla Kingdom must publicly apologize and broadcast it across all media within the Mosla Empire.
Clause five: Due to the severe psychological trauma caused by the Royal Family on the women, children, old and young of the Hertz Family, they react when seeing Royal Family members. Henceforth Royal Family members must steer clear of the Hertz Family.
Clause six: The Royal Family will permanently exempt the Hertz Family from land tax.

A densely packed three-page document with nearly 100 clauses.
The majority involve financial and territorial compensation, while the rest humiliate the Mosla Empire's Royal Family. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
If all conditions were accepted, they'd lose at least a tenth of their total assets, having lost face throughout the Mosla Empire in consequence.
"No, I absolutely won't agree to these conditions!" Hera firmly declared.
"Oh, really?" Zhang Menglong said with a threatening tone, "Because of you, I didn't rest well last night, my current spirit isn't superb, I'm unsure how long the suspension magic will hold. If I can't hold on, I can't control these Forbidden Curses."
Threats, blatant threats!
The two Grand Emperors of the Mosla Empire could instantly discern Zhang Menglong's implicit threat.
Seeing their stubborn stance, Zhang Menglong withdrew some magic power, causing a small portion of a Forbidden Curse's energy to pour down on the palace's Treasure Pavilion.
In an instant, the Treasure Pavilion turned to ash, with countless valuable treasures of the Royal Family consumed by flames.
"Oh dear, I told you, I'm too tired today, can't control it, my apologies!"
"Sign, agree to any condition!"
"Scoundrel, I tell you to sign, you sign, what's with all the whining?"
Even if not gravely wounded, the two Grand Emperors felt tempted to smack Hera. Did Zhang Menglong seem like someone who compromised on conditions? They could only satisfy his demands without bargaining!
"Oh dear, almost lost control again!"
