I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 676 - 674: How about checking out some others?

"Mr. Zhang, of course, we wouldn't dare insult your friend... we..."

"Still saying you're not insulting my friend?" Zhang Menglong said as he pointed to the neckpiece embedded with several diamonds that Lu Yiyao wore around her collarbone.

"This is just everyday jewelry my girlfriend wears, not even suitable for slightly formal occasions. The five diamonds on it are each over 5 carats, worth a million Huaxia currency. You try to fob off my friend with this kind of junk, and you say that's not an insult?"

"But... but this is already the most expensive diamond selling area on our side," Delamini and Grave immediately explained.

"I know," nodded Zhang Menglong, "This place sells diamonds meant for ordinary people indeed, it's considered quite high-end."

In Huaxia, most of the jewelry stores sell diamond rings ranging from 0.3 to a little over 1 carat. According to the local pricing, diamonds worth hundreds of thousands of Huaxia currency are considered quite luxurious.

But since there are diamonds tailored for ordinary people, naturally, there are also those meant for top-level tycoons. Those who are truly wealthy wouldn't be caught dead wearing diamond jewelry worth just tens of thousands of US Dollars, as they'd be a laughingstock if they did.

"Wait! There is!" Delamini said, "I remember on the top floor of this little diamond town, there are some areas exclusively meant for the wealthy. I had completely forgotten about this!"

Delamini and Grave had come hoping to try their luck at bluffing their way through, but they didn't expect Zhang Menglong to be so knowledgeable. It seemed they would still have to spill some blood.

The jewelry in this area were all above 1 carat, even the largest with 5 carats of colored diamonds, and the cheapest here was worth more than two or three hundred thousand US Dollars.

"Forget it," Zhang Menglong laughed, "Any diamond you can buy with money isn't a good one. I remember there's a Diamond Museum in the capital, right?"

Upon hearing these words, Delamini and Grave's complexions changed instantly.

Indeed, they do have a museum, which over the decades, had collected a variety of precious diamonds excavated from South Africa. These gems were purchased by the museum and stored there, and some were even considered national treasures.

Was Zhang Menglong actually eyeing the museum's contents?

"Mr. Zhang, this... the museum contains our national treasures, it really is..."

"Exactly, exactly, I deserve to die," Zhang Menglong quickly slapped his own face, "I almost forgot they're all national treasures. If I were to ask for them, wouldn't that make me no different from a robber? That really wouldn't be right, not at all!"

"Let's go back and continue playing Werewolf," said Zhang Menglong, "And, we'll return all that money and the cars to Mr. Delamini and Mr. Grave. We came here to travel, not to rob."

"When did he become so easy to talk to?" Delamini and Grave glanced at each other.

"Mr. Zhang, about that import and export business..."

"What about business? Isn't the pandemic so serious, and you still want to do business? That won't do!" Zhang Menglong said with a righteous face.

At that moment, Delamini's phone rang again.

"Delamini! What exactly are you doing? The protest rows have already reached the capital. I'm giving you three more hours; if you can't make it, someone else will take over, and someone else will take your position!"

Upon hearing this message, Delamini broke out in a cold sweat, promptly putting on a smiling face again.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, we were just joking," All the old foxes knew the drill with a single probe.

Don't give it to me? Fine! I won't insist, lest I give people something to talk about, saying I, Zhang Menglong, use strong-arm tactics.

But then, don't expect your foreign trade to recover, either.

You want me to ease up? Alright, then bring me what I want, obediently and respectfully. That's how simple the world of adults is.

"Mr. Zhang, is it just some diamonds we're talking about? Our land is vast and rich; we can afford to give you some diamonds as compensation," Delamini said, "The museum is right here in this little diamond town, I'll take you there!"

"Old fox!" Zhang Menglong muttered, "Won't give up till they reach the Yellow River, they really want me to play rough!"

Zhang Menglong whispered, "Later on, you guys just pick the biggest ones with the prettiest colors!"

"You got it! I'm good at this sort of thing!"

"I don't feel a bit of guilt anyway. I've been scared out of my wits for so long; what's wrong with taking a few of their diamonds?"

"Exactly, this is our triumph!"

A group of old yin-yang masters comforted themselves as they followed de Ramini into that diamond museum.

The place that claimed to be a museum was indeed not an exaggeration; the hall defined opulence with its dazzling array of gemstone colors, utterly mesmerizing to the eye.

"Menglong, can I have this one?" Senior Brother Wang Mingjun pointed to a pink diamond the size of a pigeon's egg and said.

"This..." When de Ramini saw that particular diamond, his blood pressure shot up.

It was a 20.65-carat pink diamond, cut into a perfectly regular oval shape—an absolute dream for any woman.

More than 60 years ago, a 24.78-carat Graff pink diamond ring was sold at an auction in Hong Kong for over 40 million US dollars.

The diamond named Cupid's Star was mined five years ago in a South African diamond mine, and its discovery even sparked a small-scale armed conflict!

Although it was slightly smaller than the Graff, its saturation and hue were even more intense, making its estimated value surpass that of the historic gem.

How did those Huaxia people have such sharp eyes to spot such a national treasure at first glance?

"Menglong, I want this one!"

Zhang Menglong's eldest martial sister pointed to a black diamond necklace in the display case.

"This... this is the Wittelsbach!" de Ramini struggled to breathe.

A unique 31.06-carat black diamond, once the property of King Felipe IV of Spain, had traveled through various hands to end up here. This diamond ring, after being redesigned and transformed, became a fringe necklace for women, and even the fringes were studded with diamonds!

To this day, it had no appraised value; if it were to be measured in money, 80 million US dollars might just be its lowball price!

"Junior brother, I like this!"

"A 22.56-carat purple diamond..."

"A 56.22-carat blue diamond..."

These little things may look small, but the value of each far exceeded the several times the value of the sports cars they had originally chosen!

Zhang Menglong wasn't here for compensation; he was clearly here to rob and extort!

An hour later, they left the museum thoroughly satisfied.

860 million US dollars—that was the loss from this trip. It was no longer just about money, as such diamonds were almost unique; even if one had the wealth, it would be impossible to find a second piece in the world.

"Ha-ha, with this, my marriage proposal is sure to succeed!" Zhang Menglong's Senior Brother Wang Mingjun said confidently.

"Senior brother, with such a huge diamond, even if senior sister refuses, you could knock her out with it and drag her home!"

"Knock her out? Any normal woman would faint from happiness on the spot after seeing it, okay?"

"Anything else you want? Shall we go see something else?" Zhang Menglong suggested.

"Mr. Zhang, please no more, I beg you!" This time, de Ramini and Grave were completely overcome and actually knelt down, weeping bitterly.

If this continued, South Africa would really become bankrupt!

So many people were causing trouble now, and if Zhang Menglong dragged this on for another hour, thousands of countries might go bankrupt.

"Alright, alright," Zhang Menglong suddenly felt sorry for them, "Senior brothers and sisters, how about we forgive them?"
