Zhao Hai had sent them off after they had gathered, leaving only Laura, green, kun Zheng, Nier, and meg to accompany him in the Xin residence.
They were waiting for Carlo and the others to come. Weren’t there already a few groups of mercenaries coming to Casar city? They wanted to take care of these people and then leave.
This time, they had been forced to leave kassa city and the Duchy of Versailles. They had been holding a grudge in their hearts, and if they didn’t vent it, they would feel terrible.
Zhao Hai and the others knew that the mercenaries would arrive at Kass city in the next two days, and they would probably take action at that time. They had been completely well-behaved for the past two days and closed the door to the Xin mansion. No one went out, and no one came in. Compared to the busy situation two days ago, it was as if they were in two different worlds.
Although the forces in Kass city felt that it was strange, they were not too surprised when Laura sent people a few days ago. They only felt that Laura and the others had secretly left, and the people of the big trading companies did not care about where the supplies were brought into the Xin mansion. Every big merchant like Laura had their own secret passage, and there were more than one or two companies with secret passages. They could completely transport the goods through the secret passage.
Large trading companies had their own way of survival. The headquarters of the large trading company in the continent’s first medium-sized City Market almost all had secret passages leading to the outside of the city. This was almost an open secret, but no one knew how deep their secret passages were and where they led.
It could be said that the secret passage was the last way for these big merchants to save their lives. It was the most secret existence of a family. Except for the core members of the family, no one knew where the passage was, so no one in the big merchants cared about the whereabouts of the materials.
On the contrary, the attitude of Laura and the others made the people of the big trading companies think of another point. It should be known that this secret passage was the most important lifeline of every family, and it couldn’t be moved unless it was a life and death situation. Now that Laura and the others had moved this secret passage, it meant that they were already at the critical moment of life and death. This made the big families who didn’t know that Borich was involved in this matter feel really confused.
Those big families thought that Laura was doing this because the Versailles family was no longer supporting her. Laura couldn’t win against the magicider family, so she had to give up everything here and run away.
However, those big merchants still didn’t touch Laura. In their opinion, although the Versailles family wouldn’t help Laura deal with the magicians, Laura wasn’t someone to be trifled with. A few days ago, Zhao Hai had entered Xin Fu and didn’t come out. Those people had all seen it. Zhao Hai’s strength was very strong, and this was publicly acknowledged. They didn’t want to provoke a powerful black magician.
The business in Laura’s shop was still going on as usual. No one dared to snatch any business from her. This was because Laura and the Versailles family had already publicly announced that Laura had transferred the Paramita flower shop to the Versailles family. From now on, the Paramita flower shop belonged to the Versailles family.
The major trading companies paid more attention to this news. The red spider lily shop currently controlled about 40% of the daily necessities market in the entire Versailles Duchy. This share was too high. Previously, the red spider lily shop was in Laura’s hands. Laura only cooperated with the Versailles Duchy and didn’t suppress them too much. However, it was different now. All the shops were in the hands of the Versailles family. In other words, in the Versailles Duchy, the red spider lily shop was the most powerful merchant in the entire world. It meant that the country controlled the majority of the daily necessities market. In the future, it would be impossible for them to cause any trouble in the daily necessities market.
It was precisely because they knew that Laura was about to leave that they were no longer in the mood to pay attention to her. Instead, they focused their attention on the red spider lily shop. Now that the red spider lilies had belonged to the Versailles family, it was hard to tell what changes would happen to the daily necessities market in the Versailles Duchy in the future.
The mercenaries didn’t make Laura and the others wait too long. On the 15th day of Zhao Hai’s arrival, the mercenaries had already entered the city.
The Versailles family had their eyes on the mercenaries as soon as they entered Casar city. They knew everything about the mercenaries, and they even told Laura and the others about it. Ivan felt guilty towards Laura, so he wanted to make it up to her.
Laura was very grateful for Ivan’s kind intentions. Although she could still use her intelligence network, she didn’t touch it. After all, the red spider lily shop had been given to the Versailles family. If the Versailles family found out about her little tricks, they might be unhappy. Therefore, Laura wanted to wait for the wind to pass before using her intelligence network.
In the past few days, Laura and the others had not been idle. They had sent all the people who were willing to follow her to the iron Mountain fortress. Zhao Hai had already decided not to keep anyone in Rocky Mountain. Cai ‘er had put away the rainbow Flower vines, and the black mist had also dispersed. However, because that was Zhao Hai’s territory, no one dared to enter without his permission.
Not many people had the courage to go to places where black magicians used to live. They were afraid that there was poison there. In addition, there were clear rules about personal property on the mainland. For example, if someone barged into Rocky Mountain that Zhao Hai had bought, Zhao Hai would be fine even if he killed the person.
After sending those people to the iron Mountain fortress, Zhao Hai wouldn’t have to worry about them running away anymore. Even if there were spies among them, Zhao Hai wouldn’t be afraid. There were undead creatures guarding the iron Mountain fortress and Eagles patrolling in the sky. Even if those people knew the situation there, they wouldn’t be able to spread the news.
Additionally, they had also decorated the iron Mountain castle in the past few days. Laura had moved all the items from Xin mansion over. Xin mansion was not small and had many good items. Previously, Zhao Hai had not decorated the iron Mountain castle at all. He only put some simple and crude furniture there. Now, after Laura moved the items from Xin mansion into the iron Mountain castle, it really looked like a rich aristocrat.
These days, Zhao Hai took them around the iron Mountain fortress, including the lake in the mountain, the mine and the rabbit farm. Kun Zheng, Laura, and the others were amazed as they had not imagined that Zhao Hai could build such a place in such a short period of time.
Zhao Hai didn’t hide anything from them. He led them to the space farm. Zhao Hai’s space farm had already reached Level 5. It was all thanks to Laura that the farm was able to reach Level 5. This time, Laura had brought quite a few magical beasts into the space, including multi-legged insects and long-haired pigs.
With these things, Zhao Hai’s farm was upgraded, and he could raise another 100 animals. This made Zhao Hai very happy, and he immediately raised some long-haired pigs.
The long-haired pig was rated as a level four in the realm, but outside the realm, it was only a level one. It did not have any offensive capabilities and was the most common carnivore on the continent.
Zhao Hai didn’t keep too many long-haired boars. The Paramita flower shop wasn’t under Laura’s control, and it would be inconvenient to cooperate with the Versailles family. Hence, Zhao Hai kept these long-haired boars for the sake of storing them. First, he wanted to provide them with meat, and second, he wanted them to be useful in the future.
Over the past few days, Laura and the others had gained a good understanding of the spatial realm. They were already used to the various magical aspects of the spatial realm. However, the one who was the most carefree now was Kelun.
Ever since Kelun had obtained the basement of the spatial villa as his laboratory, he rarely came out. He was busy every day, and only when he was tired would he come out to take a nap or go out to the grasslands to relax. His days were free and unfettered.
In Zhao Hai’s opinion, Kelun was even more of an otaku than he was on earth. He barely left the house. Other than eating and sleeping, he would stay in the lab. When he was bored, he would take a walk outside the villa, but he never mentioned leaving the interspace.
In his own words, he didn’t like to meet so many people. When he was in the Xin residence, he didn’t really leave the residence. When he was tired of staying in the house, he would walk around the courtyard. It had been a long time since he left the Xin residence.
Zhao Hai was speechless when he heard this. Kelun could be considered the Otherworld’s version of the ultimate otaku, even more so than Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai was also very impatient. It was very difficult for a shut-in to come into contact with the world, not to mention that Kelun was a shut-in who was dedicated to research. It was just like a person who was devoted to a career. It was too difficult to change.
But Zhao Hai didn’t want to change him. The space had expanded a lot, so he could go out and walk around if he wanted to. If he didn’t want to, he could just stay in his room. The air in the space was fresh, so he wouldn’t be in danger. It was good for his body.
Zhao Hai didn’t ask much about what Kelun was researching. Even if he did, he wouldn’t understand. Kelun was researching magic arrays. Although Adam knew about the existence of magic arrays in the past, with his ignorant and incompetent personality, he wouldn’t have come into contact with them. Zhao Hai was busy every day and didn’t have time to come into contact with magic arrays, so he didn’t understand anything.
But even so, there would be people keeping watch at the Xin residence every day because Ivan would send them information from time to time. Zhao Hai and the others were counting on this information.
The information they received today was simple. The mercenaries would come to deal with Laura tonight, and they had told Ivan to stay out of tonight’s business.
Ivan wanted to scold them away, but for the sake of the Versailles family, he had to swallow his anger. However, he had also told them not to make too much of a scene, or else he would not show them any mercy.
