Translator: 549690339
When Charlie saw the three of them, he immediately laughed and bowed slightly to the person walking in front.”Welcome, big brother. I thought that you were too kind and didn’t dare to disturb big brother because this little brother’s banquet was just a small one. I didn’t think that big brother would actually give me face and come. This really makes this little brother happy.”
When the first Prince heard Charlie’s words, he smiled and said, &Quot; I heard that third brother’s place is full of talents, so I came to take a look. What a coincidence, I met Terry and Jason on the way, so I brought them along. Third brother, you won’t blame me for coming uninvited, right? ”
“Of course. I’m so happy that you can come, big brother,” said Charlie with a smile.”How can I blame you?” Big brother, please come in. Terry, Jason, don’t stand on ceremony.”
Terry and Jason bowed to Charlie before walking into the hall. The other people in the hall also came to bow to the first Prince, and Zhao Hai was no exception.
However, to Zhao Hai’s surprise, the first Prince saw Zhao Hai immediately. He walked up to Zhao Hai and smiled.”Mr. Zhao Hai?”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; that’s me. I didn’t expect the first Prince to recognize me. I’m flattered. &Quot;
The first Prince laughed out loud. &Quot; you’re too humble, Sir. Who on this continent doesn’t know how amazing you are? I wonder if you have time to come to my residence as a guest? ”
“If there’s a time, I’ll definitely pay you a visit,” Zhao Hai said with a smile.
The first Prince smiled. &Quot; I’ll welcome you with open arms then. By the way, I heard that Mr. Zhao Hai has a lot of unique businesses. Is there a chance for us to work together? ”
“I don’t have any unique business. Do you want to cooperate?” Zhao Hai smiled. It’s hard to say. Right now, almost all of my business is working with the third Prince, and we’ve already signed a long-term cooperation agreement. If the first Prince wants to cooperate, I’m afraid he can only discuss it with the third Prince.”
The first Prince’s words had a hidden meaning. The reason he wanted to work with Zhao Hai was to ask if there was a chance for them to work together. He wanted to see if there was a possibility of Zhao Hai turning to him.
However, Zhao Hai’s answer was very clear. He was now Charlie’s subordinate and could not turn to anyone else. The two of them asked and answered each other directly. Everyone in the hall was smart, so it was impossible for them not to hear it. When the first Prince heard Zhao Hai’s words, his face turned ugly. However, he still forced a smile and said,”That’s such a pity.” After saying that, he turned around and left.
Charlie’s face had changed drastically when he heard the first Prince’s words about poaching Zhao Hai. However, his face was now flushed red. It was obvious that he was very pleased with Zhao Hai’s answer.
Zhao Hai also knew that he had lost his only chance to befriend the first Prince, but he did not regret it. One could not always be half-hearted, as that would not lead to a good end.
At that moment, Terry and Jason walked up to Zhao Hai. Terry smiled at Zhao Hai and said,”Little hai, I didn’t expect you to be here. If I knew you were here, I would have arrived earlier today.”
Zhao Hai was stunned when he heard the way Terry addressed him. The two of them weren’t that close yet. Terry’s actions were obviously meant to improve their relationship.
However, Zhao Hai was not happy because of this. On the contrary, he was even more careful because he had learned from melgen that Terry was a sinister villain. Moreover, he was now considered Terry’s love rival. The more friendly Terry was to him, the more it showed that he was trying to deal with him.
Although he was thinking about this, Zhao Hai didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, ” “Big brother Terry, you’re too polite. I believe that big brother should also know about my relationship with the third Prince. How could I not come to this kind of occasion?”
Terry wanted to use this form of address to get closer to Zhao Hai, so Zhao Hai followed suit and used this form of address to confuse Terry. In fact, Zhao Hai’s guard against Terry had not dropped at all.
Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Terry seemed to be very happy. He smiled and said,”I know that you have a good relationship with the third Prince, but I thought that since God’s grace day is coming soon, you would be helping out in the dark Soldier fortress. I didn’t expect you to come.”
Zhao Hai laughed. &Quot; melgen and the others insisted on coming, so they’re here. Hehe, melgen and the others are also chatting with Duke Jiu, His Highness Fang. &Quot;
Zhao Hai then turned to Jason and said, ” “This must be young master Jason from the Krook family, right? I have long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary.”
Jason looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, ” “I’ve long heard of Mister Zhao Hai’s great name, but I’m indeed very disappointed to see you today.”
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He did not expect Jason to be so impolite. At a gathering of the nobles, everyone would usually speak politely. Even if two mortal enemies were fighting each other behind their backs, they would still pretend to be happy at the gathering. However, Jason’s lack of respect for him was beyond Zhao Hai’s expectations.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but glance at Terry. He found that Terry’s eyes were also filled with disbelief. This made Zhao Hai even more stunned. Jason and Terry were together, so they should be in the same group. Now that Jason said this, Terry obviously didn’t think of it. Did they not discuss it beforehand?
Zhao Hai’s mind raced, but he didn’t show it on his face. He only smiled at Jason and said,”I’m sorry to disappoint you, young master Jason.”
Jason stared blankly at Zhao Hai’s smile. Zhao Hai’s smile did not have a hint of reluctance, which was out of Jason’s expectations. Jason admired Zhao Hai’s calmness. A hint of admiration flashed across his eyes, but he said, &Quot; that’s right. I really feel bad for miss melgen. Miss melgen is one of the prettiest girls in the capital of Carson City, but she has to marry an ordinary person like you. It’s such a waste. &Quot;
Terry couldn’t stand it anymore. He turned to Jason and said,”Jason, you should stop talking.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” Mr. Jason is right. Actually, I also feel that melgen has suffered some losses, but there is no other way. I also want to lose some of my looks, but my father did not give birth to me as handsome as I am. This is a natural disaster. &Quot;
When Jason and Terry heard what Zhao Hai said, they were both stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. Jason suddenly patted Zhao Hai’s shoulder and said,”I say, brother, I like it when you say that. Hahaha, good job. You’re a friend worth making.”
Zhao Hai looked at Jason and realized that he wasn’t faking it. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly.”Your standards for making friends are really low. Are you looking for someone who’s not handsome and yet you’re handsome? Then I must say, you’ve found the right person.”
The three of them laughed at Zhao Hai’s words. Jason patted Zhao Hai’s shoulder and said, ” “I didn’t expect you to be able to guess my little thoughts. Amazing.”
“Even if I guessed it, you don’t have to blame me, right?” Zhao Hai laughed. I’m a mage. If you hit me a few more times, I’ll have internal injuries.”
The two of them were talking and laughing as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. This made Terry’s face a little ugly, but he still smiled with the two of them, though his smile was a little forced.
People like Terry had been pampered since they were young, and they were used to being the center of attention. No matter where they went, they would always be the center of attention. Even if they stood next to the first Prince, Terry wouldn’t receive any less attention than the first Prince. After all, his status was there. The heir of a thousand-year-old family wasn’t any lower than a Prince.
But today, when he watched Zhao Hai and Jason chatting, he suddenly felt like an outsider. The two seemed to have forgotten about him, which made him very unhappy.
At this moment, a servant walked past them with two glasses of red wine in his hands. Jason immediately took the glasses and passed one to Zhao Hai. He raised his glass to Zhao Hai and said, &Quot; I thought this would be another boring banquet. I didn’t expect to meet such an interesting person like you. Come, let’s have a drink. We can be friends in the future. &Quot;
Zhao Hai had not expected Jason to be so forthright. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he raised his glass to Jason and said, &Quot; alright, drink this. From today onwards, we’re friends. Cheers! &Quot;
Jason also raised his glass and clinked it with Zhao Hai’s,”Alright, let’s do it.” The two of them didn’t care about any etiquette and directly drank the red wine in their glasses.
There were a lot of people who had been paying attention to the two. When they saw the two, they were a little stunned. Many people present knew Jason. Jason wasn’t very popular in the aristocratic circle because he was too straightforward and never gave face to anyone. He said what he had to say. Such a person would not make a name for himself in the aristocratic circle.
However, with Jason’s status, most people would not dare to not give him face. So, people would still send invitations to the Krook family at ordinary banquets and balls. However, when Jason came to the banquet, no one would talk to him, afraid that he would say something embarrassing.
When Jason and Zhao Hai were talking, some of the people around them had already heard them. They were all waiting to watch a good show, waiting to see Zhao Hai’s embarrassed face. They didn’t expect Zhao Hai to resolve the embarrassment with a few self-deprecating words. This was really beyond their expectations.
As for those who had not heard their conversation, they were also paying attention to this scene. This was because Jason had embarrassed everyone at the first banquet. It had almost become a program. Everyone wanted to see Zhao Hai’s performance. They could not hear what the two were talking about, but from Terry’s expression, they knew that Jason had not said anything good.
However, what happened next confused them. They didn’t know what Zhao Hai had said to make the three of them laugh. Jason even put his arm around Zhao Hai’s shoulder. It was too embarrassing. They wanted to run to the two of them and ask them what Zhao Hai had just said. Unfortunately, they couldn’t do that
