"Zhang Menglong?" Many people in the room were visibly moved upon hearing this name.
The incidents that had occurred previously were only fully understood by the higher echelons of each party. However, due to the urgency of the meeting today, most of the attendees were not significant figures; they had only vaguely heard that their country's current predicament was related to a man from Huaxia named Zhang Menglong.
But had they really owed Zhang Menglong so much money? To the extent that they even had to offer their national treasures as collateral for the debt—that seemed incredibly far-fetched, didn't it?
However, these precious artifacts were of significant concern. If they ended up in other countries, it would carry a sense of national humiliation.
Imagine, how would the people of their nation feel seeing their national treasures in museums of other countries? How could anyone take pride in their country then?
