Desbarres understood Thunder's character very well. The reason why he told Thunder about Zhao Hai activating Liquid Silver was because he knew that as long as Zhao Hai was willing to work for the Ashley Family, then Thunder wouldn't take back Liquid Silver. On the contrary, if Desbarres didn't tell Thunder about this, then Thunder wouldn't only deal with Zhao Hai, he wouldn't even let Desbarres off. It's possible that the entire Bone Symbol Camp would be in trouble.
It was precisely because of this that Desbarres told Thunder about this matter. At the same time, he also told Thunder about Margaret. He didn't want to use Margaret's matter to make Thunder hesitate and not make a move against Zhao Hai.
It was strange to say that although Thunder was a selfish and overbearing person, he had a special preference for Margaret. Generally, Thunder would attach great importance to anything related to Margaret. Therefore, Desbarres said that Margaret seemed to have feelings for Zhao Hai. He wanted Thunder to not deal with Zhao Hai.
When Desbarres returned to the Bone Symbol Camp, his mood wasn't very good. To be honest, he was very tired. Although Thunder's temper wasn't good and he was somewhat overbearing, he still trusted Desbarres and Cadjo. Desbarres and Cadjo were very relaxed in front of Thunder. Sometimes, they would even joke with Thunder.
But now it was different. Thunder was becoming more and more temperamental. Desbarres would think carefully when he talked to Thunder. Even if he was joking, he would still do it on purpose.
This made Desbarres feel very tired. Because of this, he became less and less involved in the family's matters. Instead, he focused on the Bone Symbol Camp.
Although the Outer Sect Camp was very important to a family, its importance didn't mean that it was important. In the eyes of a Great Family like the Ashley Family, the Outer Sect Camp was mainly used to fight for the family's benefits. The true fighting strength of a family was their battleships and mechas. The Mages and Warriors of the Outer Sect Camp weren't included in this list.
Desbarres saw this point clearly. Therefore, he focused his attention on the Outer Sect Camp. This way, he wouldn't attract anyone's attention and wouldn't arouse Thunder's suspicion.
After returning to the camp, Desbarres directly went to Zhao Hai's place. He already knew that Zhao Hai's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. It was impossible for him to improve his strength in a short period of time. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't need to close up every day like before.
When Desbarres arrived outside Zhao Hai's villa, he could hear voices coming from inside.. besides Zhao Hai's voice, Tao Wang and Tie Sheng's voices...
When Desbarres heard the voices of the three, he couldn't help but smile. Tie Sheng and Tao Wang were very loyal to him. Moreover, their abilities weren't bad. Needless to say, Zhao Hai's strength was also good. Desbarres was very optimistic about Zhao Hai. It can be said that the three of them were the most important to Desbarres.
Desbarres pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw Zhao Hai and the others sitting in the dining room drinking wine, Desbarres immediately said, "Good, you guys actually didn't wait for me before drinking."
The three looked at Desbarres. Then Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Camp Lord, if you came back a bit later, we would have finished drinking. Come quickly."
Desbarres didn't care that the three didn't greet him. He sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of wine. After drinking it, he said, "Little Hai, your performance today was very good. I've given you a lot of face. You don't know, but the Ghost Symbol Camp Lord Dillard actually made a bet with me. I said that you would be able to take first place, but he didn't believe me. So we bet 10 million machine coins. You can't lose, kid."
So I lost. "Tao Wang stared, then he shouted," 10 million machine coins? Camp Lord, where did you get that much money? Did you embezzle all the funds transferred from the family over the years? "
Desbarres slapped Tao Wang to the side and said, "Fart. How much money does our camp have? Kid, you should know better than me. Embezzling? I think you're the one who embezzled. Tie Sheng, don't come to Little Hai's place tomorrow. Let's go to Tao Wang's house and eat his food for a month. "
Tie Sheng looked at Tao Wang, then he smiled and said, "Good. Camp Lord, I've been wanting to do this for a long time. But you should know that if there isn't an opportunity, then this fellow wouldn't treat us. This is a good opportunity."
Tao Wang let out a pitiful cry and said, "Camp Lord, don't do this to me. I'm really poor, I can't even afford to eat. I can only come to Little Hai's place to eat. How can you have the heart to exploit me? Once Little Hai wins the competition, then we'll have money. We should come here to eat more."
Desbarres and Tie Sheng both looked at Tao Wang with disdain. Tao Wang was a good person, but he was too stingy. However, nobody cared. The people present didn't lack money, they just wanted to make fun of Tao Wang.
After a few more jokes, Desbarres' expression turned serious as he said, "Alright, let's get down to business. Little Hai, I've already told the Patriarch about your Liquid Silver. The Patriarch didn't say anything, but he still hopes that you can get good results in the competition. The Patriarch has become more and more obstinate and self-opinionated. If you don't get good results, then I'm afraid the Patriarch won't let you off."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Camp Lord, you can rest assured. I know what to do."
Desbarres nodded, then he sighed and said, "Little Hai, you won't blame me for telling this to the Patriarch, right?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I won't. I know that the Camp Lord is in a difficult position. It's impossible to hide this matter from the Patriarch. Instead of waiting for the Patriarch to find out, it's better for us to tell him ourselves."
Desbarres nodded, then he sighed and said, "I don't know what happened to the Patriarch. His temper is getting more and more unpredictable. Even someone like me, who grew up with him, has to be careful in front of him. Sigh."
Desbarres trusted Zhao Hai a lot. This was because Zhao Hai's origin was very clean. Moreover, Zhao Hai had almost no contact with other people. And although Zhao Hai killed a lot of people in the lower realm, he was very good to the people around him. This was very similar to Desbarres. Because of this, Desbarres had a very good impression of Zhao Hai.
There was no need to mention Tie Sheng and Tao Wang. Their situation was similar to Zhao Hai's. They were chosen by Desbarres to ascend. Then they were brought into the Bone Symbol Camp and trained as his confidants. Because of this, Desbarres would only say these words in front of the three of them.
Zhao Hai and the others didn't say anything. However, Tie Sheng and Tao Wang's expressions were somewhat ugly. The two of them knew that the reason why the Bone Symbol Camp was able to make so much money was because of Desbarres. If one day Desbarres is gone, then it wouldn't be easy for the Bone Symbol Camp to continue making money.
Although outsiders didn't know the income of the Bone Symbol Camp over the years, the people in the camp weren't fools. They could see that the Bone Symbol Camp was living a more comfortable life than them. Because of this, the people in the camp coveted the Bone Symbol Camp. But because of Desbarres, nobody dared to make a move against the camp.
However, it was impossible for Desbarres to protect the Bone Symbol Camp for a lifetime. If Desbarres were to leave one day, then what would happen to the Bone Symbol Camp? It was because of this that Desbarres favored Zhao Hai. He hoped that Zhao Hai would become an expert as soon as possible. With an expert in the Bone Symbol Camp, even if the other camps wanted to deal with the Bone Symbol Camp, they would have some scruples.
Desbarres didn't say anything as he poured himself another glass of wine. After drinking it, he turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, I really want to know. Do you really love your wife in the lower realm? Can't you see that Margaret is interested in you? "
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. He wasn't a virgin who didn't understand anything. How could he not see that Margaret was interested in him. However, he already had Laura and the others, so he didn't want to have another debt.
Desbarres looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, "It's just a pity for Miss Margaret. Because of her mother's death, Miss Margaret's relationship with the family isn't good. Although the family takes care of Miss Margaret, Miss Margaret doesn't want to be taken care of by the Patriarch. And with her marriage with the Fire God Temple, Miss Margaret is very unhappy right now. I told the Patriarch that Miss Margaret is interested in you, and the Patriarch didn't oppose it. It seems like he also agreed to Miss Margaret's relationship with you. Little Hai, this is an opportunity for you to join the Ashley Family. Only if you become a true member of the Ashley Family will the Patriarch not take back Liquid Silver. Otherwise, one day, the family will take back Liquid Silver. When that time comes, I'm afraid only death would await you."
Zhao Hai's expression changed. Desbarres sighed and said, "When I gave you Liquid Silver, I didn't think that you would succeed. Now that you've successfully activated Liquid Silver, it has recognized you as its master. The only way to use Liquid Silver is to kill you. Since Liquid Silver has been activated, then as long as we kill you, we can use Liquid Silver. Although nobody has seen Liquid Silver's might, it has been rumored to be magical. There are a lot of people in the Machine Field who are eyeing Liquid Silver. Once they know that you've activated Liquid Silver and you don't have enough status to make them worry, then you would be in a lot of trouble."
Zhao Hai's eyes narrowed. To be honest, he didn't think about this point. In his opinion, although Liquid Silver was a good weapon, it was still on par with the weapons of the Cultivation Realm. There was nothing special about it. However, he neglected the Machine Field.
Liquid Silver might not be attractive to the Cultivation Realm, but to the Mages of the Machine Field, it was very attractive. Liquid Silver was the ultimate weapon of the Mages. It was like the number one weapon in the world. Everyone wanted to get their hands on it.
In the past, nobody could activate Liquid Silver. Therefore, nobody cared about who had it. But now that Liquid Silver was activated, people would go all out to fight for it!
A powerful weapon depended on who was holding it. If it was in the hands of a high-ranking member of a large force, then not many people would dare to snatch it. This was because they would offend that force. But if it was in the hands of a person without any status, then this weapon would be a death sentence!
Although Zhao Hai was valued by Desbarres, his current status was only an outer court Mage of the Ashley Family. With such status, holding Liquid Silver would cause him to be hunted down endlessly.
But if Zhao Hai really marries Margaret and becomes a member of the Ashley Family, then those who want to snatch Liquid Silver would have to think twice about their own strength.
With Zhao Hai's strength, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of being hunted down. However, this would bring him endless trouble. He hated trouble, but he hated relying on women even more.
Desbarres looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, "Little Hai, I had you date Margaret. First, it's for you. Second, it's for Margaret. Third, it's for the Bone Symbol Camp. In recent years, I've rarely been in charge of the family. Although I can still speak to the Patriarch, my authority in the family is getting smaller and smaller. I can protect the Bone Symbol Camp now, but if one day I'm gone, what would happen to the Bone Symbol Camp? We need someone with status to support the Bone Symbol Camp. This way, the Bone Symbol Camp won't turn into the same as the other camps. Do you understand what I'm saying? "Zhao Hai nodded and said," That's because the Bone Symbol Camp isn't the same as the other camps.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I understand, Camp Lord. I'll consider your words carefully. To be honest, Camp Lord, I only have a sense of belonging to the Bone Symbol Camp. I still lack a sense of belonging to the Ashley Family. Moreover, I don't want to have a relationship with Miss Margaret. That would be blasphemy to her. Let things develop freely. In any case, no one will know that I have Liquid Silver in a short time!"
Desbarres looked at Zhao Hai, then he suddenly laughed and said, "Good, Little Hai, I really didn't misjudge you. Just based on your words, I can see your character. It seems like Miss Margaret's vision is very good. Alright, I don't care anymore. Let things develop freely. I just hope that you don't resist Miss Margaret too much. Try to accept her." Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Desbarres.
Zhao Hai nodded and didn't speak. Desbarres poured himself a glass of wine, then he had Tie Sheng and the others do the same. After that, he raised his glass and said, "Today, Little Hai has won a big victory. Let's have a toast to celebrate. Little Hai, remember, don't hold back in the Six Realms Newcomer Competition. You have to be ruthless and make a name for yourself. You have to let people know that you're not to be trifled with.
Do you understand? "Zhao Hai nodded, then he said," Camp Lord can rest assured. I have never shown mercy to my enemies. As long as they're my enemies, I won't let them off! "
Desbarres laughed and said, "Good. Hahaha. Come, cheers!"
