Translator: 549690339
Zhao Hai was happy that the Pirates were smart, but he felt a little regretful. He didn’t want all of them to run away. If they all ran away, Golden Island would be empty. He wouldn’t be able to find an excuse to deal with those Pirates. Those Pirates had been plundering for years and had stored a lot of good things. If all these things went to Zhao Hai, he could make a fortune again.
&Nbsp; Zhao Hai was a little addicted to this kind of robbery. This kind of robbery was much more profitable than other businesses, and the profit was getting higher and higher.
However, Zhao Hai knew that it was impossible. The only reason he made that statement was to let the Pirates escape. He knew very well that Smith and the others were right. Those Pirates had the support of a very powerful force behind them. If he didn’t say a word and went up to fight them, and then took the Pirates “loot for himself, he would have offended a lot of people, which would be very unfavorable to the development of the Buda family.
He would first make a statement with a stronger tone. This way, the Pirates would run away if they knew what was good for them. Those who did not know what was good for them would stay and fight with Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai killed them, no one would be able to say anything.
However, Zhao Hai had clearly underestimated his position in the hearts of the major powers on the continent. Those major families were not fools. They knew Zhao Hai’s strength and the power of his network. No one would provoke Zhao Hai at this time. That would be equivalent to having lived long enough. Therefore, they immediately ordered the Pirates under their control to choose a new location.
In fact, Golden Island was not the lair of the Pirates. They all had their own lair. Golden Island was actually a Free Trade Port. The Pirates conducted transactions there. Some Pirates who could sell dirty things would buy the dirty things in the hands of the unsalvageable Pirates at a low price. They would turn those things into money or various materials to sell to the Pirates. In this way, the Pirates could survive for a long time.
There were some Pirates on Golden Island all year round, but these Pirates had their own bases on other islands, so they immediately ran away from Golden Island after receiving orders from their forces.
The Pirates also understood that if the Buda family really went to the island of gold, the Arkas Empire would definitely take action. At that time, the island of gold would definitely become a battlefield. These Pirates did not want to get involved in this muddy water, because they were very clear that they were not qualified to get involved in this muddy water.
As soon as he saw the Pirates run away, Zhao Hai focused his surveillance on the Arkas Empire and the Rosen Empire. The power closest to the Golden Island in the Arkas Empire was the king of the south, Borich. Since there was a huge enmity between Zhao Hai and Borich, Borich would definitely not let go of this opportunity and would definitely come to deal with him.
On the other hand, it was unlikely that the Roson Empire had any good intentions. When they first assigned Zhao Hai to the island of gold, they did not have any good intentions. Not only did they want to sow discord between Zhao Hai and the Arkas Empire, but they also wanted to plant a nail in the Arkas Empire’s waters. Zhao Hai was afraid that the old king of the Roson Empire was trying to use him, and after using him, he would want to get rid of him. Thus, he had been monitoring the situation in the Roson Empire.
However, his focus was still on the Arkas Empire. There was Charlie, the carci family, and the Crookes family in the Roson Empire. If there were any unusual movements in the Roson Empire, the three of them would definitely receive the news. Therefore, Zhao Hai was not very worried. However, he could not help but worry about the Arkas Empire.
Just as Zhao Hai had expected, the Arkas Empire had already gathered more than 500 warships of various sizes and were ready to take over the Golden Island.
At the sight of this situation, Zhao Hai was not anxious anymore. He stayed in the dark Soldier fortress calmly every day and attended banquets held by those nobles from time to time. He had no intention to go to the Golden Island.
Not only did the Arkas Empire not understand what he was doing, but the people of the Roson Empire did not understand either. They did not know what he meant by this. Could it be that the declaration he had discovered before was fake?
Only Laura and the others knew that Zhao Hai was waiting. He was waiting for the fleet of the Arkas Empire to reach the island of gold. As soon as the fleet of the Arkas Empire reached the island of gold, Zhao Hai would immediately appear on the island of gold and release his undead creatures. Then, he would capture the fleet of Arkas and turn them into one of his undead fleet.
There were people on the continent who looked down on Zhao Hai’s actions, and there were also people who did not understand it. However, no one directly confronted Zhao Hai because they knew very well that even if Zhao Hai’s strength was very weak, the current Zhao Hai was not someone that ordinary people could afford to offend.
Borich’s fleet did not care whether Zhao Hai made a move or not. They were the first to make a move. A fleet of more than 500 ships had already set off from yesura city, a port city in the South of the Arkas Empire. Their destination was the island of gold.
Smith and the others were also very confused by Zhao Hai’s actions. They had also asked Zhao Hai what he wanted to do, but Zhao Hai only laughed without saying anything.
