Situ Zhong quickly analyzed the situation in front of him.
After a pause, he asked Mr. Hall and Zhai Yunsheng: “If you don’t mind me asking, why did you guys decide to come here?”
Situ Zhong was not stupid. And thus, he assumed Zhai Yunsheng and the others were not here because of mere coincidence. Therefore, he was worried that they were also after the treasure hidden by the Xie family.
Mr. Hall replied politely: “I’m here to have a chat with my old friend. As for why my friend picked this location, that I do not know the answer to. However, I’m willing to make this trip for him.”
Upon hearing this reply, Situ Zhong quietly cursed at Mr. Hall. By saying those words, wasn’t he deliberately telling him that Zhai Yunsheng was a very important friend of his?
!!Zhai Yunsheng was attempting to use the Habsburg family to frighten him away!
Despite feeling annoyed, Situ Zhong smiled and said: “Sir, I don’t have any objections if you want to catch up with your friend. However, we’re doing business here. Therefore, it won’t be very convenient for us to accommodate you here.”
Situ Zhong acted as though he owned the place. By saying these words, he wanted to get Zhai Yunsheng and the others to leave as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Hall looked around and said: “If I remember correctly, you’re not the owner of this manor right?”
“Yes. The Xie family owns this manor. However, everyone from the Xie family passed away many years ago. As we’ve known the Xie family for many years, in some aspects, we can be considered the Xie family’s only relatives in this world,” Situ Zhong replied.
Then, Situ Zhong said to Zhai Yunsheng: “Young Master Zhai, if you’re here just ot chat, you should change your location. We don’t want guests here. This is private property.”
“And what if I don’t plan to leave?” Zhai Yunsheng responded. The smile on his lips turned into a sneer.
“Young Master Zhai, I’m only treating you nicely because of the Habsburg family! Don’t push your luck!” Situ Zhong warned Zhai Yunsheng.
“Well, we will have to see whether I’m pushing my luck or not,” Zhai Yunsheng replied indifferently. The calm and collected look on Zhai Yunsheng’s face made Situ Zhong feel uncomfortable.
Mr. Hall interrupted:”With all due respect, even though you’ve known the Xie family for centuries, you still do not have ownership of the manor. Hence, you’re not qualified to claim this manor as yours.”
Situ Zhong argued back: “We’re indeed not the owners of this manor. However, in the Nine Dragons Association, we had an agreement in place. In the absence of an heir to the Xie family, the Nine Dragons Association, which we belong to, is qualified to inherit the Xie family’s property and estate. As for those irrelevant people who want to come inside this manor whom we do not welcome, we naturally have the right to drive them away.”
Hence, Situ Zhong was fully confident that the remaining eight families were now the owners of the Xie family manor.
The so-called agreement was of course made up by Situ Zhong.
If the Nine Dragons Association united together and said there was this agreement, who could argue against them?
Unless the Xie family crawled out of their graves, no one could drive them out of the Xie family manor.
However, everyone knew that the Xie family had been dead for a long time. It was impossible for them to crawl out of their graves.
Therefore, based on Situ Zhong’s words, the Nine Dragons Association had every right to inherit and become the legal owner of the Xie family’s manor in Country M.
