Translator: 549690339
Zhao Hai sat calmly in the car as the ox-cart headed towards Sheila hotel. When the ox-cart arrived at the hotel, the people in the hotel immediately recognized Zhao Hai’s car. It could not be helped. Zhao Hai’s car was so special that it was hard not to recognize it.
The hotel’s waiter immediately came out to welcome Zhao Hai into the hotel, while the other waiter immediately ran off to report to Wanhao. These waiters were extremely clear about Zhao Hai’s position in Wanhao’s heart, so they naturally did not dare to slight Zhao Hai in the slightest.
When Wanhao received the report, he was a little stunned. He did not expect Zhao Hai to come to his place at this time. Now that melgen had just gotten into trouble, he should not have come at this time.
However, Wanhao immediately invited Zhao Hai to sit down in the living room of his room. At the same time, he also invited Wei Li over. After the three of them sat down, Wanhao looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” “Little hai, what’s the matter?” After a few interactions, they could be considered acquaintances now. Wanhao also automatically changed the way he addressed Zhao Hai to little hai, in order to bring their relationship closer.
Zhao Hai didn’t think much of the title. He just smiled and said, ” “Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday? I’ve already calculated the output of the vegetables.”
Upon hearing that Zhao Hai was here to discuss business, Wanhao heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zhao Hai had fallen out with Smith and came to him for help. Although he would still help Zhao Hai, the benefits that the Sheila family would receive would be much smaller. They wouldn’t be able to use Zhao Hai to build a good relationship with Smith.
Wanhao hurriedly smiled and said, ” alright, tell me. Actually, I’m also very anxious from waiting. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; from now on, I can provide you with about 500000 catties of various vegetables, 10000 hunklings, grains, and fruit Oil every month. I’ll give you as much as you want. How about it? is this enough? ”
Wanhao really did not expect that there would be so much. He said with an excited look, &Quot; it’s enough, it’s more than enough. Don’t worry, the price won’t be bad for you. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; I’m not afraid that you’ll treat me unfairly. Those things are mine. If you dare to cut my price, I won’t sell them to you. Hehehe. &Quot;
Wanhao and Wei Li chuckled as well. Then, Wei Li looked at Zhao Hai and said,”Brother Zhao Hai, can I ask you about the attack on miss melgen yesterday?” Wei Li also realized that Zhao Hai was a very straightforward person. If you wanted to know something from him, it was best to be direct. Zhao Hai’s temper was a little like a warrior’s. He liked to be straightforward, which was why he asked so directly.
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; brother Smith has already investigated that matter. Even if you didn’t ask me, I would have told you. The second reason I’m here today is to talk to you about this. &Quot;
Wanhao and Wei Wei were both stunned. Then, they looked at Zhao Hai excitedly. They could already guess what Zhao Hai was going to tell them.
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and smiled, ” &Quot; you’re right. This time, the people who attacked melgen were Duke Ryan’s men. They wanted to catch melgen and then ask Duke Smith to drive me out of Tianshui city. Unfortunately, they did not succeed. So, Duke Smith was very angry and was ready to take revenge on Duke Ryan. I told him that you also had a grudge against Duke Ryan and were preparing to deal with him. I wanted him to cooperate with you. What do you think? Do you guys agree?”
Although Wanhao and might had guessed what Zhao Hai was going to say, they were still very excited when they heard that Zhao Hai had confirmed their suspicions. They really did not expect Zhao Hai to have such a high position in Smith’s heart. Smith did not blame Zhao Hai for causing trouble and putting melgen in danger. &Nbsp;
However, this was definitely a good thing for the Sheila family. Although they were currently preparing to deal with Duke Ryan, it would not be easy to deal with him in the Roson Empire. They would have to pay a considerable price.
However, it would be completely different if the carci family joined. The carci family itself was an old noble family in the Roson Empire. Their influence in the Roson Empire was very huge. With their help, it would be much easier for them to deal with Grand Duke Ryan.
The match between the Sheila family and Duke Ryan had also exposed the shortcomings of the Sheila family. Although they were a powerful business family, they were not a legitimate noble family after all. Therefore, in terms of bloodline and power, they were much worse than the legitimate nobles. Even the old nobles like Duke Ryan, who were not strong, dared to suppress them because they did not have much power in various countries. Moreover, because their business was too big, they had businesses in various countries, so they had no sense of belonging to any country. All the countries treated them as outsiders, which naturally made it inconvenient for them to deal with many things.
This time, they were going to deal with Grand Duke Ryan because the Roson Empire did not treat them as one of their own. If they did not pay the corresponding price and make some connections, it would cause dissatisfaction among the nobles of the Roson Empire. At that time, they would definitely join forces to deal with them, and they would be in big trouble.
However, with the addition of the carci family, the situation was completely different. The carci family was a powerful family in the Rossen Empire. Even the royal family was not willing to provoke them. However, the style of the carci family was very low-key. Therefore, even if the royal family of the Rossen Empire regarded those old aristocrats as a thorn in their eyes, they did not have too much resentment against the carci family.
Just as Wanhao and the others had thought, Grand Duke Ryan was indeed a chess piece that the Roson Empire’s royal family wanted to use to deal with the old noble families. However, this chess piece was not very obedient and was too arrogant.
The royal family had already prepared to change their chess piece. In the eyes of those rulers, everyone was a chess piece. There were two kinds of chess pieces, useful and useless. Useful chess pieces were further divided into obedient ones and disobedient ones. Rulers would always give up a chess piece that they couldn’t speak clearly. Because a disobedient chess piece might become an unstable factor at any time, not only for their enemies but also for themselves. No one in power would want an unstable factor to exist by their side.
Wan Hao laughed and patted Zhao Hai’s shoulder, ” &Quot; I agree. Why wouldn’t we agree to such a good deal? brother, you’re really the lucky star of our Sheila family. Don’t worry, I can promise you on behalf of the family. This time, we will do our best to cooperate with the carci family. Please help me pass on a message to Duke Smith. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; good, it’s good that you agree. I’ll go back and let Duke Smith know. By the way, I’ll have people send the vegetables over in a few days. How about 100000 catties first? ”
Wan Hao nodded and said,”alright, do you want me to send it here directly?” Do you have a boat?”
“Don’t worry, it won’t affect your plans,” Zhao Hai said with a smile. After saying that, he stood up, turned around, and walked out.
What Zhao Hai didn’t know was that when he came to Sheila’s hotel, Smith was also summoning an elder of the kalchi family in the castellan’s mansion. This elder was, of course, a black magician.
The elder looked to be in his 60s, and his hair had already turned white. He was wearing a black magic robe, but his face was not covered, so he looked a little pale.
“Elder Nalo, what do you think?” Smith asked.
Nalo nodded. &Quot; it’s just as Mr. Zhao Hai said. The people who came this time are indeed Duke Ryan’s men. They are indeed here for the young lady. Their goal is to kidnap the young lady and force you to drive Zhao Hai out of Tianshui city so that they can deal with Zhao Hai. &Quot;
Smith heaved a sigh of relief, but his expression turned even uglier. Smith was not a fool. As a superior, he would not be swayed by his emotions. It was impossible for him to believe whatever Zhao Hai said. Hence, he asked elder Nalo to turn a death warrior who attacked melgen into a high-level undead. He asked about the situation and was relieved when he got the same answer as Zhao Hai.
However, at the same time, the fire in his heart was completely ignited. Grand Duke Ryan really didn’t put the carci family in his eyes. Although Smith was only the second heir of the carci family, he was also one of the most important members of the family. Otherwise, the family wouldn’t have sent him to Tianshui city to take charge. It should be known that Tianshui city was the purse of the carci family.
Another thing was melgen. Although melgen was Smith’s daughter, melgen also had another identity. She was the most doted little princess of the kalchi family. She was also not in the kalchi family. Since ancient times, the kalchi family had always been in a state of more men than women. There were very few girls in their first generation, but there were many boys. It was even more so in melgen’s generation. The entire kalchi family, including melgen, only had three girls in total. One of them died young. The other was a famous dissolute woman, who was really not welcomed in the family. Melgen was the best. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also quiet and obedient. She was as pure as a piece of white paper. She was the treasure of the kalchi family.
Melgen’s status was comparable to that of the princess of the Rosen Empire. She was as rich as a Princess. However, Grand Duke Ryan had dared to touch her. This made Smith, who loved melgen, extremely angry.
However, he was still very calm and did not immediately make a move on Grand Duke Ryan. As a citizen of the Rosen Empire, he knew more about the situation in the Empire than Wanhao. Therefore, he knew that the identity of Grand Duke Ryan was very sensitive. It was best not to touch him easily. Otherwise, it would cause the royal family of the Rosen Empire to pay attention to the carci family. This was not worth it. After all, in the face of the interests of the family, one had to give in even if one loved a person.
However, when it came to Zhao Hai, Grand Duke Smith was completely at ease. Zhao Hai did not lie to him about this matter. Even after melgen was attacked, he immediately thought that he might be the cause of this matter. He did not try to hide it. Instead, he told Smith about it clearly. This made Smith’s impression of Zhao Hai even better.
