159: Fight for inheritance

When Zhang Fan returned to the outside world, he found that his parents had already left, and the Old Man's body had also been taken away.

However, the number of people on the city wall not only did not decrease, but instead gathered more and more.

A large number of streamers, reporters, and self-media bloggers came upon hearing the news.

The moment Zhang Fan appeared, these people swarmed around him like flies drawn to feces, scrambling to interview him.

Zhang Fan completely ignored them and left directly.

"Golden Armor, connect me to my dad!" Zhang Fan said.

"Yes, Master!"

The call was connected quickly.

"Xiao Fan!"

Zhang Hongcheng's voice rang out, filled with pleasant surprise.

"Dad, where are you?"

"Lishan Villa!"

Zhang Hongcheng replied, "After discussing with your Second Uncle and the others, I plan to take the Old Man back to his house first!"

"In a couple of days, we'll hold a dignified memorial service for him!"

Zhang Hongcheng's voice was bitter, "The Old Man lived a dignified life, and in the end, he should leave with dignity!"

"That's right!"

Zhang Fan also agreed, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"There really is!"

Zhang Hongcheng nodded repeatedly, "Two things. First, your grandfather was a demigod, and I estimate that there will be a great many people coveting his remains!"

"So, I'm having a headache now, wondering where to bury him."

"But no matter where I think of burying him, it doesn't seem very safe!"

A demigod's body is an unimaginably priceless treasure to any Titan Warrior!

Burying the Old Man in a tomb would inevitably lead to grave robbing!

"That's simple!"

Zhang Fan suggested, "Bury his body in the Fuxi Shrine; it's very secluded there, and no one will find it!"

Zhang Hongcheng pondered for a moment and said, "That's possible!"

"Second thing!"

Zhang Hongcheng sighed, looking helpless, "The inheritance issue!"

Zhang Fan understood the meaning in his father's words: "The Old Man just died, and my uncles and aunts are already fighting over the inheritance?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Hongcheng gave a bitter smile, "After all, the Old Man's inheritance is indeed too vast; who wouldn't be tempted?"

"Hehe!"

Zhang Fan sneered inwardly.

Grandpa's biggest inheritance was the shares of Zhang's Group under his name.

Of these, 40% had already been transferred to Zhang Fan's name by Grandpa.

The Old Man still had 39% under his name, valued at over 400 billion!

This was undoubtedly a huge sum!

"Dad, what do you mean?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Fight!"

Zhang Hongcheng whispered, "Xiao Fan, your grandfather never intended to divide the shares among us children during his lifetime!"

"He kept them all for you, so you must fight for them!"

"You absolutely cannot let your uncles and aunts equally divide the group's shares!"

"Once they get the shares, if someone maliciously acquires them in the future, our Zhang's Group will be at risk of changing ownership!"

After all, Zhang's Group is a family business, and the Zhang family must ensure absolute control over the group to be foolproof!

"I understand!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Fan arrived at Lishan Villa. Before he even got close, he heard intense arguments coming from inside the villa.

"Equal distribution! It must be equal distribution!"

"This is fair to everyone and conducive to the unity of our siblings and the Zhang family!"

"Right! Equal distribution!"

"..."

Zhang Fan walked into the villa and found the living room crowded with people.

All uncles, aunts, and their spouses were present.

The Old Man's wives were also gathered there.

Everyone was discussing the distribution of the inheritance, expressing their opinions enthusiastically, making the living room noisy.

As for the Old Man's body, it was left aside, unattended.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh. It is said that the struggle for inheritance in wealthy families is often very intense.

Zhang Fan had only seen it on TV or in the news before.

Today, he saw it with his own eyes, and it was happening in his own home.

He even found it a bit novel!

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Fan lightly coughed, and the noisy living room immediately quieted down.

Everyone looked over in unison, with strange expressions in their eyes.

Among those present, some had witnessed Zhang Fan's bombardment of Park Chang with their own eyes, while others had just arrived.

But no matter who it was, they had all heard of Zhang Fan's feat of bombarding a demigod!

Bombarding a demigod!

This was simply unbelievable in their eyes.

Yet, Zhang Fan did it!

Their apprehension towards Zhang Fan reached an unprecedented level!

"Xiao Fan, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for a while!"

Second Uncle Zhang Hongmeng was the first to react, saying enthusiastically, "Come, come, come! Sit here! Sit here!"

"Second Uncle, you're too kind. All the uncles and aunts are here; I'll just stand!"

Zhang Fan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I just heard that you, Second Uncle, were discussing the distribution of Grandpa's inheritance?"

An aunt immediately nodded and said, "We are discussing that!"

Zhang Fan knew this aunt; her name was Zhang Hongya, Grandpa's third child, considered Zhang Fan's third aunt.

Third Aunt Zhang Hongya was also the oldest among all of Zhang Fan's aunts.

"Xiao Fan, tell us, should we siblings equally divide your grandpa's inheritance?"

Zhang Hongya said, "Your grandpa is gone, leaving such a mess, and there are many of us siblings!"

"To maintain family unity, I think equal distribution is the most reasonable!"

"This is the fairest; no one gains an advantage, and no one suffers a loss!"

"Third Sister is right!"

"Third Sister makes sense!"

"Everyone is the father's child; it should naturally be equally divided!"

"According to inheritance law, in the absence of a will, inheritance is usually equally distributed among the first-order heirs such as spouses, children, and parents!"

"Therefore, whether from a legal or personal perspective, the inheritance should inherently be equally divided!"

"..."

Third Aunt Zhang Hongya's words were agreed upon by most people.

Second Uncle Zhang Hongmeng and Aunt Zhang Hongya did not express an opinion.

Zhang Fan watched with a smile; he understood the thoughts of Third Aunt and that part of the group.

Third Aunt and the others were either ordinary people or Titan Warriors with very average strength, so their competitiveness was not great!

Therefore, for them, the best reliance was the law, and the best outcome was an equal share of the Old Man's inheritance!

As for more?

They did want more, but their competitiveness was not enough, so they couldn't get it at all!

After all, they had no strength, no influence, and no backing; how could they compete?

"Xiao Fan, what do you think?" Zhang Hongmeng looked at Zhang Fan.

At these words, the Zhang family descendants all looked towards Zhang Fan.

In the current Zhang family, Zhang Fan was undoubtedly the most important person, and no one could ignore his opinion!

Zhang Fan smiled faintly and said, "I think Third Aunt and all the uncles and aunts, and their spouses, are all very reasonable!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hongya and the others couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

Zhang Fan continued, "But as for how the inheritance is ultimately distributed, I think we still need to respect Grandpa's wishes!"

"That's natural!"

Zhang Hongmeng nodded, then frowned and said, "But Dad left too suddenly, he didn't even leave a will!"

"Even if we, as children, want to act according to his wishes, there's no will to follow!"

"Actually!"

Zhang Fan interjected, "Grandpa left a dying wish during his lifetime!"

"Dying wish?"

"What dying wish?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhang Fan surveyed the people in the living room, smiled slightly, and said:

"Grandpa once said that he would give me all the shares under his name!"

Hearing this, everyone was first stunned, then erupted.

"Xiao Fan, what do you mean by that? Give you all the shares?"

Third Aunt Zhang Hongya immediately bristled, "According to you, all of the Old Man's inheritance will be passed on to you?"

"I don't agree!"

Zhang Hongya glared at Zhang Fan, "You, a junior, aren't satisfied with 40% of the shares?"

"You even audaciously attempt to monopolize all the shares; aren't you afraid of choking yourself to death!"

"And!"

"Legally speaking, you are only a second-order heir!"

"As long as we are still here, it's not your turn to inherit the inheritance!"

"Exactly!"

"We don't agree either!"

"Fourth Brother, your Xiao Fan is too ignorant; aren't you going to manage him?"

"Xiao Fan, you said the Old Man told you these things during his lifetime, is there a record? Is there evidence?"

"..."

Other uncles and aunts spoke up, condemning him strongly.

Zhang Fan's words offended all of them!

If you monopolize all the shares, what about us? Are we to starve?

Zhang Hongcheng watched his son being verbally attacked, shook his head, and said nothing; he knew this would be the outcome.

If it were him,

He couldn't accept it either!

Facing the verbal attacks from his uncles and aunts, Zhang Fan smiled and said nothing, waiting until they had vented enough.

Only then did Zhang Fan smile and continue, "When Grandpa said that, it was just a casual remark, and he didn't leave any written information!"

"However, there was a sentence Third Aunt said just now that I think is very true!"

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "As long as you people are still here, I can only be considered a second-order heir. But what if you are no longer here?"

At these words, the noisy living room instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared blankly at Zhang Fan, not understanding what he meant.

"Xiao Fan, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Hongya demanded.

"It's very simple!"

Zhang Fan bared his teeth and smiled, "In terms of order, law, or seniority, I can't compare to any of you!"

"But there's one thing you can't beat me at, and that's fists!"

Zhang Fan slowly reined in his smile, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and said:

"I can make all the uncles, aunts, and their spouses disappear from this world silently, just like Park Chang, the top master of South Korea!"

Zhang Fan smiled again, "When all of you who are ranked before me disappear, I will naturally become the first-order heir!"

Of course, he couldn't possibly kill these uncles, aunts, and others.

Although he had no affection for these people, he couldn't do such a thing, but that didn't stop Zhang Fan from scaring them!

Zhang Fan would try his best to use the killing of Park Chang to gain benefits for himself!

The living room was completely silent!

Everyone stared at Zhang Fan, enveloped by immense fear.

Disappear silently, like Park Chang, the top master of South Korea!

What does that mean?

Zhang Fan wants to kill them?

No!

They are all Zhang Fan's elders; how dare Zhang Fan?

"Zhang Fan, how dare you have such a monstrous thought!"

Zhang Hongya's face turned ashen, "Who among those present isn't your relative? How dare you even think of such a thing? Are you even human?"

"Relatives?"

Zhang Fan sneered, "Third Aunt, if I'm not mistaken, the number of times you've visited my home since I was little can be counted on one hand, right?"

Zhang Miaomiao choked.

Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "This big family of ours, it sounds like we're relatives, but what the actual situation is, everyone knows perfectly well!"

"So, don't use the excuse of 'relatives' to make a joke!"

At this point, Zhang Fan looked around at everyone present and said:

"To be honest, Grandpa never thought of giving shares to you children during his lifetime. Do you know why?"

"Because most of you are parasites, fighting, drag racing, showing off wealth, keeping male escorts, playing with women... you are all more extravagant than the last!"

"But when it comes to serious matters, except for Second Uncle and Aunt Hongya, all of you are garbage!"

"Giving shares to such people would completely ruin Zhang's Group!"

"Therefore!"

"For Grandpa, and for the group, I will never allow you to divide even a single share of the group!"

"Unfair!"

Zhang Hongya shrieked, "This is unfair! Why should you monopolize all the shares? I absolutely disagree!"

"You disagree?"

Zhang Fan chuckled, "Then, Third Aunt, you need to be careful!"

"When you go home tonight, will there be a car accident halfway?"

"Or when you walk to the bottom of your own building, will you be smashed to pieces by something falling from a height!"

"You... you're threatening me?" Zhang Hongya's face turned ashen.

"Threatening?"

Zhang Fan sneered, "You should be glad I still call you Third Aunt!"

"If it were an outsider like Park Chang, I wouldn't even bother to say a word; I'd just slap him to death!"
