This was Zhang Menglong's first time being so furious. Not only had he faced an assassination attempt, but the offer was also ridiculously low—200 billion US dollars, merely close to the total assets of the world's wealthiest person. That price might be understandable for assassinating Poladi, but him? They'd better add a few more zeros before talking! Despite facing a powerful surge of electricity, Zhang Menglong's plane was built with ultimate safety features, so it wasn't severely damaged. It just needed minor repairs and was still fully capable of flying under the current circumstances. The captain of Zhang Menglong's aircraft was none other than the famous Captain Sully, who had once managed an emergency landing on the sea with multiple engines out, successfully saving everyone on board. Now, he had become Zhang Menglong's dedicated pilot. With a familiar smell of kimchi, Zhang Menglong once again returned to Qingqiu Country and to that familiar residence. "Mr. Zhang, why have you come back again?" The housekeeper in charge of the building was overseeing the tidying of the rooms. Zhang Menglong was supposed to be almost back in Huaxia by now. Why had he suddenly returned? "No worries, just a few friends I can't stop thinking about, and I wanted to visit," Zhang Menglong replied with a smile. "Mr. Zhang really has great connections, having so many friends even in Qingqiu Country."@@@@ "You go and rest. I might need to stay here for another day," Zhang Menglong said. The housekeeper nodded, then left the room with the domestic staff. "Hong Yi, do you know what Su Zhihe and his people are up to now?" Zhang Menglong asked. "There is a high-level Qingqiu gathering tonight," Hong Yi replied. "If the Sorens' assassination attempt had been successful tonight, it would have been a celebration party. They were all ready to sing and dance in celebration of having eliminated you as a threat, Mr. Zhang." "Hahahaha, I'm sorry to disappoint them," laughed Zhang Menglong. "In that case, as the main character, I must make an appearance. Otherwise, how disappointed they would be!" "Mr. Zhang, the party will be held at the Hawke Palace Hotel at 6:30 this evening. Almost half of Qingqiu Country's upper echelons will attend, giving you half a day to prepare." "Call Lee Ji-eun for me," Zhang Menglong said. "Prepare two suits; attending a dinner party always requires a presentable companion." "Miss Lee Ji-eun will certainly be delighted. I'll contact her right now!" ... "I told you, I'm not here to report on the mission's progress!" Sorens said, "Zhang Menglong is spending 10 Huaxia dollars to buy your life!" "What? You can't..." A surge of electricity flashed through Su Zhihe's body; before he could finish his words, the potent current had already stopped his heart, leaving his face frozen in its last expression. "Although it goes against my professional ethics, this is the only condition under which my organization and I can survive," Sorens said with a bitter smile before pulling out a piece of paper from his pocket and leaving it on Su Zhihe's desk. It was an invoice from Qingqiu Country; the item listed was "Assassination", and the amount was written as "10 Huaxia dollars". "Huaxia people really know how to play!" Sorens shook his head and disappeared again as a lightning. ... Read latest chapters at empire "Oppa, this dress is really beautiful!" Lee Ji-eun was both shocked and delighted by Zhang Menglong's return, and stars seemed to appear in her eyes when she saw the gown he had prepared for her. It was a snow-white evening gown, even more beautiful than a princess's wedding dress in fairy tales, and Lee Ji-eun could hardly imagine its price, let alone the crystal-like high heels and the pink diamond pendant nearly the size of a child's palm—this was truly a scene from every girl's dream. "These items are very expensive, right?" Lee Ji-eun asked. "Miss Lee, this gown was handmade by Mr. Zhang's personal designer over two years, and the cost of materials alone exceeded 3 million US dollars. The shoes are not very expensive, but this string of diamond necklace is indeed very valuable," Hong Yi explained. "The diamond was only excavated from one of Mr. Zhang's diamond mines earlier this year. After cutting, the quality reached 105 carats, and the price should be over 80 million US dollars. You are the first person to wear it." "This...this is too valuable!" Lee Ji-eun's complexion changed, with nearly a hundred million dollars hanging on her body; it was literally a matter of life and death. "Wear it!" Zhang Menglong smiled, "Today we are going to meet someone of status, and we absolutely cannot lack manners." "Are we meeting your friend?" Lee Ji-eun asked curiously. "No, we're meeting the big boss of your country!"
