Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang

"It is indeed novel, but it is also true!" Hircine said, "I believe you already know the wealth hidden in this manor."

"I have taken it." Zhang Zhiwei said directly.

Helsing nodded. When he came, he used his mental power to scan the entire manor and knew that Zhang Zhiwei had taken the treasure of the Shasun family, but he didn't care about it.

He was indeed profit-driven, but he also knew how to weigh the pros and cons. The money was a lot, but it was not worth falling out with Zhang Zhiwei.

Moreover, he values ​​the Shasun family's industrial chain more, which is a continuous source of wealth, and Zhang Zhiwei cannot take it away.

As for the money that was taken away, just consider it as compensation to the other party!

Hirsing continued, "Since you took it, you should know that this is a lot of money. But no matter how much it is, it will be useless if it is just left here."

“Money is only meaningful if it is circulated. Otherwise, it is just a pile of waste paper.”

"In my opinion, even if you take the money, it is more meaningful than keeping it in the Sassoon family."

"Because you like to do charity, and build orphanages, schools, and resettlement areas everywhere..."

"Once this money is in your hands, it will be spent quickly and circulated to all walks of life."

"All walks of life will prosper after receiving this money, which is a positive development for the whole society."

"But they are in the hands of the Shasun family and cannot be circulated. The number will only increase."

"The Shasun family sucked the blood of the empire but did not give back to the empire. The more they take, the weaker the empire will become."

"And when the empire weakens to a certain extent, they will take these wealth and go to the next powerful empire and continue their previous behavior."

Helsing asked Zhang Zhiwei, "Do you think they are like barnacles? Do I have any reason to use you to clean up these barnacles?"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "It's hard for me to disagree with what you said. Hundreds of years ago, they also parasitized Shenzhou, but ended up with a miserable end. Have you ever thought of touching them? This should be easy for you."

Hircine shook his head and said, "Great Britain today is different from the Great Britain of the past. We cannot decide the fate of a person or a family based on our personal preferences. Although the Sassoon family is greedy, they still act within the rules. I can't do anything to them!"

"Moreover, this is a capitalist society, and capital is profit-seeking. If I touch the Shasun family, it will only create a situation where everyone is in danger, which is very detrimental to development. Therefore, I cannot touch them, at least not directly. But they are too greedy, and I cannot not touch them. So, this is the purpose of my coming."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei smiled. This statement was a bit too high-sounding. With Hirsing's identity, if he wanted to touch the Sassoon family, he had ten thousand ways to do so.

The reason why they haven't moved is not because they can't move, but because it's not cost-effective. It may even be like raising pigs, just like Emperor Qianlong of the previous dynasty didn't move Heshen. It's not that they can't move, but they just keep him for the time being and kill him for meat when needed.

And now, perhaps it is time to kill and eat the meat.

Zhang Zhiwei did not expose Hirsing's thoughts, but just smiled and asked:

"You mean you guys are very well behaved?"

Hircine said righteously: "Of course, the laws of the empire are above all else. With all due respect, Mr. Tiantong, this is exactly what you Shenzhou needs to improve. You are too chaotic there, with almost no rules, and everything is done according to the preferences of the warlords."

Seeing Helsing saying bad things about Shenzhou, Lu Jin and Lu Ci frowned slightly. They wanted to defend it but didn't know how to refute it.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "You are right, I think so too, but..."

He changed the subject: "Speaking of following rules, as a paladin, why would you enslave a vampire? This seems a bit unruly."

He wasn't worried about offending Hircine.

Speaking of Akado, Hirsing's face darkened slightly. He had put a lot of effort into subduing Akado, but he was gone before he could make any difference. This was a thorn in his heart. He said in a deep voice:

"Enslaving vampires is my personal behavior, but it does not violate the laws of the empire. In fact, I enslaved him only to expand the empire's combat power to deal with the turbulent international situation. From this aspect, we should be on the same side. I think you should understand what I did."

Zhang Zhiwei said: "Then I have failed to fulfill your wish."

"Yes," Hircine said in a deep voice, "I do mind this matter, but it will not help. Akado is just a tool. I cannot seek revenge for a tool. That is too unwise."

"It's a wise decision!" Zhang Zhiwei asked, "Then why did you come to see me this time..."

Hailsing stared into Zhang Zhiwei's eyes and said, "It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. I came here to make friends with you. I lost Akado, but if I can make a friend like you, it won't be a loss."

But Helsing is different. He does not seem to be at a disadvantage when they look at each other, which is enough to show that this is an equal dialogue.

At this time, Lu Ci, who had been listening nearby, could not help but speak:

"Making friends sounds nice, but you want to use us. Although we took the money from the Shasun family, this money has nothing to do with you. You don't need to use the Shasun family to get close to us."

Helsing didn't even look at Lu Ci, as if he didn't exist. This little character could only bark in front of him in this occasion. In other occasions, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to respect himself.

Zhang Zhiwei patted Lu Ci's shoulder and told him not to speak, then looked at Hirsing and said:

"Friends? Mr. Hirsing, what do you think a friend is?"

"Friends should help each other." Hircine said, "Just like this time, you couldn't find the whereabouts of the Sassoon family and needed help, so I came."

"If you encounter any trouble in Europe, you can also tell me, and I will do my best to help you if I can."

Zhang Zhiwei was indifferent to Helsing's words. It was not that he felt that the other party could not help him, but that the other party was an old fox. If he encountered something difficult to deal with, asking him for help might only make things worse.

But soon, he changed his mind, and heard Hircine continue:

"Even if anything happens to you Shenzhou, I can use my influence to support you in the name of Great Britain. Although I can't guarantee that I can help you in military matters, I think some humanitarian and even economic matters should not be a problem!"

Zhang Zhiwei didn't care whether Helsing could help him or not, but he did care whether he could help Shenzhou, or in other words, he had compassion for him.

"It sounds like I got a great deal!" said Zhang Zhiwei.

Noticing that Zhang Zhiwei's tone had softened a little, not as stiff as before, Helsing smiled and said:

"Friendship between friends is not cheap or not. I helped you, and if I have any problems in the future, you will also help me, right, Zhang!"

"Of course!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "If we are friends, I will naturally stand on the side of my friends when something happens!"

Hircine held out her hand. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Chang!"

Zhang Zhiwei extended his hand and shook it: "Nice to meet you, Hirsing!"

The two shook hands and then released them. Hircine said:

"According to my intelligence, the Sassoon family did not leave London. They hid in their secret base, which is located underground in a small manor in east London."

"On the surface, the manor is the property of a knight and does not belong to the Sassoon family. But in fact, they secretly bought it decades ago and intended to use it as their base camp and refuge."

"Over the years, they have been secretly asking alchemists to reinforce the place. It can be said that the place is impregnable. Even a powerful alien would find it difficult to break in. Of course, I think this is not a big problem for you, Zhang."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "If I say the problem is serious, as a friend, will you come to help me?"

Hircine's smile froze, and he paused, then said, "I'm afraid not. Dealing with him does not violate the law. As an official organization of Great Britain, I have no reason to deal with him, let alone join forces with people from other countries to deal with him."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhang Zhiwei said: "As a friend, if I destroy their family, will you send someone to deal with me?"

Hirsing hesitated for a moment and continued, "Yes, but I'm afraid my subordinates are limited in their abilities and it will be difficult for them to find out anything."

Zhang Zhiwei patted Helsing's shoulder and said with a smile: "My friend, rules are dead, but people are alive. I will handle this cleanly and will not embarrass you!"

When a young man patted his shoulder, Hirsing's mouth twitched slightly: "Then I'll wait for your good news!"

After saying this, holy light flashed around him and he disappeared on the spot.

He did not sign a contract with Zhang Zhiwei or anything like that. For strong people like them, they generally would not promise something easily, but once they made a promise, they would almost always do it.

This has nothing to do with good or evil, because if you don’t even have this little bit of tolerance, it is almost impossible to become a strong person.

"Brother, although this guy looks easy to talk to, he gives me a terrifying feeling, especially when he talked about Akado's death. I clearly felt my heart sink, as if a huge rock was pressing down on me," said Tian Jinzhong.

Lu Ci said, "He is the leader of the Royal Church Knights, so he is naturally very scary. Now we see that he looks kind, like a good gentleman, because he has Senior Brother Zhang by his side. If it were somewhere else, he would probably make us heretics kneel down."

"So smart? Why did you challenge him before?" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

"Isn't it that Senior Brother Zhang is here with me?" Lu Ci said with a smile, "If not, I promise I won't say a word."

Lu Jin looked at Lu Ci with disdain, his lips moving as he wanted to say something sarcastic like "taking advantage of the power of others", but in the end he didn't say it out loud because he was also one of the people who were protected under the big tree of Senior Brother Zhang.

"Senior brother, is this person reliable?" Tian Jinzhong asked.

"It's unreliable. Foreigners are all ambitious. How can they be reliable?"

Zhang Zhiwei said: "I didn't think so before, but now I even have some doubts. The assassins from the Assassin family who came to assassinate us before were not necessarily sent by the Sassoon family. They may not be able to hire assassins of this level. Maybe they were sent by Hirsing."

"Then why should I be with him..." Tian Jinzhong hesitated to speak.

Zhang Zhiwei said, "It's just a suspicion. Besides, I've made it very clear just now. The relationship between us is more of a transaction relationship than a friendship. You help me once, and I'll return the favor."

"However, a friend on the surface is still a friend, and it is better to have one more enemy. They are just smarter and more hidden than the Japanese pirates. In terms of difficulty, they are no less difficult than the Japanese pirates. There is no need to make enemies if we can avoid it."

Tian Jinzhong said: "Master always said that the Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom. Is this the human relationship and worldly wisdom?"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and smiled, "It's just the way of the world."

"It seems that what the master taught is right." Tian Jinzhong said.

Zhang Zhiwei said: "But if you don't have the ability to fight and kill, no one will talk to you about the ways of the world. If you have to talk to others about the ways of the world, they may not give you face."

Tian Jinzhong suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. If it weren't for his strong ability to fight and kill, how could people be willing to let him take the money in this room and provide the coordinates of the Shasun family? It's called human relations, but in fact, it all comes down to fighting and killing.

"Senior Brother Zhang, shall we go find the Shasun family now?" Lu Ci asked.

"Keep searching. There are still many valuable things in this manor. Take them all away." Zhang Zhiwei said.

"Will the people from the Shasun family escape?" Lu Jin asked.

"If he escaped, it means that the information given by Helsing is inaccurate. Just let him continue to give information. We can't give up halfway, right?!" Zhang Zhiwei said indifferently.

Afterwards, the group continued to plunder. In order to speed up the efficiency, Zhang Zhiwei even used the Five Strong Men Talisman and ordered the Five Strong Men to come out to help.

Although the five strong men were not very good at fighting, they were good at moving things. Before long, almost all the valuable things in the entire manor were moved away.

Zhang Zhiwei put the pile of money into his wallet, put away the wallet, clapped his hands and said:

"We're done. Now we're going to the next place to collect the debt."

Zhang Zhiwei used his ability to create a strange structure to cover up everyone's breath. A black mist surged up and they disappeared in an instant. Then, an extremely short breeze suddenly blew up from nowhere in the room, and there was no movement anymore.
