Please, I beg everyone!
Ivan frowned. &Quot; we have to take care of Sir’s business. It’s all thanks to Sir. Otherwise, the Versailles family would have suffered a great loss. We can’t let them succeed. &Quot;
Lola sighed and said, ” &Quot; that’s where the problem lies. My uncles are all wolves. It’s not that I’m talking about them behind their backs, but it’s not good to be targeted by them. This time, they sent people here with no intention of letting you off. If you agree, it’ll be fine, but if you don’t, they’ll definitely pester you. I went to see you two days ago, and you said that he would never agree. I beg you to give me face. If they don’t go too far, you won’t mind. But they won’t restrain themselves just like that. If Mister doesn’t agree, they will continue to deal with Mister. At that time, I’m afraid it will be a war between Mister and the magicians.”
Ivan knew that Laura was testing him to see how he would deal with Zhao Hai. In fact, even without Laura’s probing, Ivan already had his own plan.
Ivan was a grateful man, and he valued gratitude greatly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped the Buda family in the first place. Although he lost his power because of this incident, he never regretted it. It was also because of this incident that he saw the Versailles family clearly. That was why he hid his violent temper and endured it all the time. Finally, he was able to take control of the power today.
It was all thanks to Laura and Zhao Hai that he was in power this time. Therefore, he was very grateful to the two of them. He had wanted to see Zhao Hai for a long time. He also knew some of Zhao Hai’s magical abilities. At the same time, he also knew that Zhao Hai’s combat power was not weak, and he needed Zhao Hai’s combat power.
However, Zhao Hai had never met any guests. Even when the Versailles family asked for him, he only met with Laura, which was why Ivan valued Laura so much. Just as kun Zheng had said, Ivan valued Laura not only because of her kindness, but also because she could contact Zhao Hai.
Ivan knew that if the magicians really succeeded, Zhao Hai wouldn’t be able to live in Rocky Mountain anymore. He wouldn’t have the chance to get in touch with Zhao Hai anymore. However, this wasn’t the main point. The main point was that Zhao Hai would become his enemy in the future.
&Nbsp; thus, he could not let the makidrell family succeed. In order to let Zhao Hai stay, he was willing to even offend the makidrell family. If Zhao Hai stayed, the Versailles Duchy would not have to worry about food. If they could get along well with Zhao Hai, he would help the Versailles family if they needed help. He had quite a lot of power in his hands. If he was willing to help the Versailles family, the power of the Versailles family would increase greatly, which was very beneficial to the family.
To be honest, Ivan didn’t have a good impression of the major business families. If it weren’t for them pulling the strings behind the food crisis, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. Although he was the one who benefited in the end, he wasn’t grateful to them because Ivan was still a member of the Versailles family. The major business families were after the Versailles family this time.
The marjider family did not have a good reputation on the continent. Other than Laura and the others, the other marjider families were known as the vampire family.
These vampires were a type of dark creature that fed on the blood of humans and magical beasts. They could transform into bats, and such creatures were the most annoying. People used this kind of creature to describe the makidel family, and it was easy to see what their family’s reputation was.
For the sake of a vampire family, he would drive away his benefactor who had a powerful background? Which idiot would do that! Obviously, Ivan had the same thought as kun Zheng. They both thought Zhao Hai had a strong background, or he wouldn’t be able to provide so much food.
Although there was no one like Zhao Hai in the Arkas Empire, there was no guarantee that there would not be such a person in other countries. If Zhao Hai really was a noble from another country and came to the Versailles Duchy to develop, it would be even more difficult for them to offend him.
There were countries on the continent, but no matter which country the nobles were in, they would be respected. Even in war, if the nobles were defeated and captured, they could ask their families to redeem them with money without any harm. This showed how great the influence of the nobles was.
Under such circumstances, how could Ivan offend a noble of unknown identity? Ivan couldn’t deny that Zhao Hai was a noble from another country. This would mean that he had a connection with the nobles from another country. Even if the Versailles family were to encounter any problems in the Arkas Empire, they could seek protection from other countries.
The nobles on the ark continent had a special feature. If you were a noble of the Arkas Empire, but you had committed a crime in the Arkas Empire and could no longer stay, you could go to other countries to seek protection, but you must have five nobles above the rank of Earl in that country as a guarantor.
Ivan only came up with the idea of contacting the nobles of other countries after seeing the situation of the Buda family. The Buda family used to be very powerful, but they had only been nobles for a short time. They were not strong enough, and they had no contact with foreign nobles. Therefore, even if they were punished by the Arkas Empire, they could only stay in the Arkas Empire and could not seek protection from other countries. They would offend the Arkas Empire for the sake of a new noble like the Buda family. They did not have any connections abroad and could not find anyone to vouch for them. That was why they were in such a state.
It was because of the Buda family’s appearance that Ivan felt a sense of crisis and wanted to make friends with the foreign nobles.
With that thought in mind, Ivan couldn’t just stand by and watch. He nodded and said, ” “Of course nothing can happen to teacher. What do you mean?”
Lola snorted coldly, ” yesterday, I told my father. Father’s meaning was clear. Everything we have in the Versailles Duchy was earned by our own efforts. Now, we can no longer be considered as part of the magicider family. Mr. Zhao Hai saved my life, so how can I not help him? ”
Ivan nodded and said, ” that’s good. The magiderre family is not easy to deal with. I think we need to work together. I can’t say anything to Sir, so you have to go. Just tell sir that his business is our Versailles family’s business. Please don’t worry. &Quot;
Laura let out a long breath and said with a smile, ” &Quot; I’m relieved to hear that, uncle Ivan. I’ll definitely pass the message to Sir. In fact, Sir is not afraid of the marginder family. As long as they don’t send a 9th-tier powerhouse, we can’t touch Sir’s wealth. However, I’m afraid that we’ll push them too far. If we push them too far, they’ll do anything. &Quot;
Ivan nodded and said,”This matter is really troublesome. In the past, our Versailles family also had two consecrators, but now that the wind Saint Boff has gone to the rotten corpse swamp, he hasn’t returned after such a long time. I’m afraid that he’s in bad shape. This means that our family has lost a part of our strength, and this matter is really difficult to deal with. However, please rest assured, Sir. If the magicians really dare to send a 9th rank expert, I will ask the consecrated to help even if I have to give up my power.”
Lola nodded and sighed, ” &Quot; that’s just the worst case scenario. I’m just informing uncle Ivan first so that he can be prepared. &Quot;
Ivan nodded and looked at Lola, ” &Quot; you have to be prepared on your side. This time, even if the magidle family doesn’t dare to deal with Mr. Zhao Hai, they will definitely make a move on you. Sir’s side is a small target, so they won’t dare to touch our Versailles family. However, you have too many shops, and your stall is a Little Big. They might come to deal with you. &Quot;
Lola nodded and said, ” I’m a little short on manpower, but when I went to Sir’s place earlier, he told me that if I need help, Sir can send people to help me. However, the people he sends are all undead creatures. I’m a little scared, so I didn’t let them help. This time, I have to be thick-skinned and ask for help. &Quot;
Ivan smiled. &Quot; there’s nothing bad about being an undead creature. Sometimes, they’re more useful than humans. I’m really envious of Sir. If I had the talent to learn magic, I would have become a Black Mage. Oh, Laura, you’ve been in contact with Sir many times. Tell me what kind of person he is. &Quot;
Hearing Ivan’s words, Lola couldn’t help but laugh. &Quot; &Quot; Sir? he is a good man, but he is also a very traditional black Mage. He wears a black magic robe and has more undead creatures under his command than humans. He doesn’t like to meet people, but he has a good heart. Also, I feel that he is young, even younger than uncle Ivan. &Quot;
Hearing Laura’s words, Ivan was stunned for a moment. Then he turned to Laura and said, ” “Is what you said true? Teacher, you don’t look as old as I am?”
Lola nodded. &Quot; I didn’t see Mr. Earth’s face, but from his voice, he should be young. &Quot;
Ivan nodded, but he was shocked. He was even more determined to stand by Zhao Hai’s side. He had been out in the world before, so he knew how powerful a magician was. A Lv 6 magician was a master. All the famous mercenary groups would fight to hire him. Even the nobles would fight to hire him, because magicians were very powerful.
A young black Mage around grade-8 was even more impressive. This meant that he had a great chance of becoming a grade-9 expert. There would be no harm in befriending such a person.
