Zhao Hai quietly listened to Laura’s words. He had never thought that this matter would lead to such an outcome. He was very clear that if the Versailles family were to have internal strife, the entire Versailles Duchy would be in trouble.
Zhao Hai hated the Versailles family, but that did not mean that he hated all the people of the Duchy of Versailles. If he hated the entire Duchy of Versailles, he would not have used food to save the family.
However, if the Versailles family were to have internal strife now, everything they had done would have been in vain. Most importantly, this matter would definitely affect Laura.
Zhao Hai couldn’t let anything happen to Laura. Laura was his only way to sell his space crops. If anything happened to her, he wouldn’t have anyone he could trust to sell his space crops to. This would be a huge blow to Zhao Hai, as he needed money to develop the black soil wasteland.
“Where’s that Boff?” Zhao Hai looked up and asked Laura.
Lola said, ” wind Saint Boff. I heard that he’s going to take a look at the rotten corpse swamp. But I think he’s in trouble. The rotten corpse swamp isn’t easy to go to. &Quot;
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then he could not help but smile. He really did not expect that Boff would want to go to the corpse swamp. Fortunately, he did not let the slaves out of the space. Otherwise, Boff might find them when he went to the corpse swamp.
“Then, what do you mean?” Zhao Hai raised his head and asked Laura.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” the main reason I came out this time is to inform you of this matter so that you can be prepared. Also, you have to be aware that the people from the big trading companies will come after you in desperation. This time, we are prepared to cooperate with Duke Ivan and help him seize power. In the entire Versailles family, only Duke Ivan is willing to cooperate with us. Only Duke Ivan has a conscience and will care about the lives of the civilians in the Versailles Duchy. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” no problem. Don’t worry. If you need my help, you must come to me. Right, I still have more than a million catties of bamboo rice in my hands. If you need it, you can come and get it at any time. &Quot;
Laura was stunned. She had never thought that Zhao Hai would have so many bamboo rice. It was too surprising.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to not have any stock. Before Laura and the others started to store the grain, Zhao Hai had already started to prepare. He had saved up the bamboo rice for an emergency. To be exact, there were not only more than one million catties of bamboo rice, but nearly three million catties. However, Zhao Hai would not take them all out at once. As long as it was enough for them to use, it would be fine.
Lola was overjoyed. &Quot; then I’ll thank you here, Sir. If we lose this time, it means that those big trading companies have won. Those big trading companies will probably release grain. When that happens, you won’t have to prepare so much food. &Quot;
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood what was going on. If those large trading companies really helped the second or third elder to seize power, they would lower the price of grain and release it. This way, they could stabilize the market in the Duchy of Versailles in a short time and help the people they supported secure their positions. Although they would lose some money by doing so, as long as the people they supported secured their positions, they could dominate the entire market in the Duchy of Versailles. By then, it would be easy to earn as much money as he wanted.
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; okay, Miss Laura. I’ll say the same thing. If you really run into any trouble, you can come to Rocky Mountain to find me. Even if it’s a 9th rank expert, I can protect them. &Quot;
If Laura had some doubts about the ancient magic tools in the past, she was no longer suspicious of them now. Although she had never used them before, one should not forget that Grimm had used them before. Although she did not see it with her own eyes, it was a fact that Grimm had escaped from the hands of a grade-9 powerhouse.
At the same time, Laura also understood the value of an ancient magical tool. She stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai, ” “Laura, Thank you, sir.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said,”Miss Laura, I’m afraid you’re here to attract their attention, right?” “Then don’t rush back. Stay for dinner. I’ve asked someone to prepare Miss Laura’s favorite hindfish.”
Laura agreed with a smile. However, it wasn’t the time to eat yet. Therefore, Zhao Hai arranged a room for them to rest.
As soon as Laura entered the living room, Zhao Hai turned to green and said, ” “Grandpa Green, what do you think of this?”
Grimm smiled and said, ” we don’t have to care about them. Let them fight. We have nothing to do with this anyway. If those big trading companies dare to lay their hands on us, we don’t have to be polite. As for Zhao Zui and the others, tell them to be careful. If they see Boff, tell them to report immediately. Didn’t Boff go to the rotten corpse swamp? ” It’s been so many years. Even if a rank 9 entered the carrion swamp, there are very few who can come back alive. If Boffey comes back alive, we’ll decide based on the situation. If he’s injured, we’ll make him stay here forever, cutting off one of the Versailles family’s most powerful supporters.”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. But do you think what Laura said about Ivan helping us in secret is true? ”
Grimm said in a deep voice, &Quot; it’s very likely to be true. I feel that the way the Versailles family does things is a bit different from Ivan’s style. I’ve seen Ivan before, and he doesn’t seem to be an ungrateful person. I’ve always felt it strange. Why did he change so much after becoming the family head? also, our family was assigned to the black soil wilderness instead of being exterminated by those great nobles. I’ve always felt that someone is helping us. I’m afraid it’s only Ivan.”
“Should we help Ivan?” Zhao Hai asked.
Grimm smiled and said, ” it’s better if we don’t get involved in this matter. Otherwise, we’ll be exposed. Now that the Versailles family is fighting internally, if we get involved, it’s very likely that the Versailles family and those big trading companies will join forces and counterattack. You have to know that our current identity is a black magician. We’re not welcome people. &Quot;
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, ” that’s good. We’ll just sit back and watch. Our identities can’t be exposed, so it’s better not to get involved. Anyway, Ivan has Laura to help him. If Laura and the others fail, we won’t be of much help. &Quot;
Grimm smiled and said, ” that’s right. We can’t expose our identity now. Once it’s exposed, there will be no place for us in the entire continent. Fortunately, with our current identity, ordinary people don’t dare to provoke us. As long as we don’t take the initiative to cause trouble, there shouldn’t be any problems. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded, ” but when necessary, we should help Laura and the others. If they fail, we won’t have anywhere to sell them. There are so many things in the realm. If we can’t sell them, it’ll be hard to do. &Quot;
Green thought for a moment. &Quot; that’s good. If Laura is in danger, we can help her. After all, we have a good relationship with them. No one will say anything if we help. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and said to Ge Lin, ” &Quot; Grandpa Green, please go and take care of Laura and the others. I’ll call grandma Merlin out and ask her to prepare lunch. Also, tell Zhao Zui and the others about the news of Boff. &Quot;
Gerlyn nodded and turned to leave. Zhao Hai went into the subspace and sent Merlin, who was teaching the slaves, out of the subspace. He asked her to prepare lunch and also told Zhao Zui about the news of Boff so that they would be more careful.
Although the slaves were a little depressed when they first entered the space, they were much better now thanks to the blue-eyed rabbits in Zhao Hai’s hands. This time, Zhao Hai prepared a meat dish for every meal in the space. The treatment was much better than when they were outside the space, and the slaves ’emotions slowly calmed down.
Moreover, Zhao Hai had promised them that the things that each of them had been allocated before would be returned to them when they left the space, so that they did not have to worry. He also asked Merlin and the others to teach these slaves how to read. Only then did these slaves recover.
When Merlin heard that Zhao Hai had asked her to prepare lunch for Laura, he was very happy. In her opinion, Laura was the wife she had chosen for Zhao Hai. The more frequent she came, the better. It would be better if she came every day.
Zhao Hai looked at Merlin’s appearance and was also very impatient. After letting Merlin out, he simply stayed in the space and prepared to go out when it was time to eat.
Zhao Hai’s reaction made meg heave a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Zhao Hai would also like to be with Laura, and then abandon her.
Zhao Hai didn’t teach the slaves how to read. Instead, he let them rest. He, meg, and blockhead sat in the empty Hall in the interspace and told them the news that Laura had just told him.
Meg and the others didn’t expect things to develop to this stage. Before Zhao Hai could finish, blockhead laughed and said, ” “Good, it’s good to fight. The more they fight, the more advantageous it is to us. Let them fight. When they fight, they won’t have the mood to care about us, and we will be safer.”
Meg was more concerned about something else. She looked at Zhao Hai and said,”Young master, if Grand Duke Ivan is really helping us in the dark, then is your engagement with the Versailles family still in effect?”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; that’s impossible. It’s over. It’s not going to work anymore. Even if Ivan really helped us, we’ll find a chance to help him or stop attacking them. Besides, I heard that Ivan’s daughter has a bad reputation in the Versailles Duchy. Our Buda family doesn’t want that kind of trash. Our Little Meg is a thousand times better than Ivan’s daughter. &Quot;
