After eating, Laura went to the living room. This living room wasn't the large living room that was used to entertain people outside, but rather a small living room in the inner residence. The people who could come here were all Laura's trusted subordinates.
However, there weren't many people in the living room. There were only three people: Laura, Nier, and Quinn John. Laura and Kun were sitting on the sofa, each with a cup of tea in their hands. Nier was standing behind Laura.
After Laura took a sip of tea, she turned to Quinn John and said, "Grandpa Quinn John, tomorrow I will go to Stony Mountain to visit Zhao Hai. What do you think?"
Quinn John also took a sip of tea. When he heard what Laura said, he nodded and said, "Good. Recently, Zhao Hai's name has been heard in Casa City. Moreover, he saved your life, so you should pay him a visit. A few days ago, he asked us to help him transport a batch of live blue-eyed rabbits. I don't know what he wants to do, but now Stony Mountain has become a restricted area. Most people won't go near it. This time, I heard that the Purcell clan had also met with a nose full of dust. It seems that this person is very strong. Tomorrow, I will go with you and see if we can win him over. If we can, then it would be a good thing for us."
It can be said that before Laura was in charge, Karen relied on Quinn John's support. Therefore, no matter what Laura did, she would always ask for Quinn John's opinion. It was precisely because of this that Karen respected Quinn John so much.
When Laura heard what Quinn John said, she was relieved. Quinn John looked at her and smiled. "What's wrong? Do you have any doubts about Zhao Hai? "
Laura nodded. "Yes, at first I had some doubts. This Zhao Hai's appearance was too coincidental. Moreover, he is a black magician, so I was afraid that he would collude with the Immortal mercenary group. But now, it doesn't seem to be the case."
Quinn John smiled. "It's not that it doesn't seem to be the case. I have investigated the Immortal mercenary group and found that they seem to have a very deep background. They should belong to a secret organization, but Zhao Hai is not. This time, Zhao Hai was attacked by the Purcell clan. It is very likely that this organization is related to that organization. Moreover, I suspect that Garan and the three senior warriors who attacked Zhao Hai are related to that organization. This organization is very large and very mysterious. Until now, I haven't found anything. However, I can be sure that this organization has absolutely nothing to do with Zhao Hai."
Laura's face changed. "There is such an organization? The Immortal Mercenary Group was made up of black magicians, while Garan was a white magician. How could they belong to the same organization? Isn't this impossible? "
Quinn John looked at Laura and smiled. "Silly child, there is nothing impossible about this. Do you think this world is as simple as you think? Do you think that those white magicians attack black magicians because black magicians do evil things? In fact, most of the black magicians in this world don't do evil, and those white magicians aren't necessarily cleaner than black magicians. It's just that their magic looks better than black magic, so it's always been misunderstood by people. "
Laura nodded and then said, "That mysterious organization has such a strong influence. I'm afraid that they have long been a tyrant. Why haven't I heard of their name on the continent?"
Kun smiled and said, "In this world, those who have real strength don't necessarily have to be kings. Every dynasty will eventually fall, but those who are truly hidden underground are very difficult to destroy. Some of these forces have existed even longer than those ancient clans. Their influence has permeated all aspects of the continent. They are absolutely a force that cannot be underestimated." Kun nodded and said, "That's right. That's right.
This was the first time Laura heard Quinn John talk about this matter. She couldn't help but be surprised. "Really? Who is in charge of these forces? "
Quinn John smiled bitterly. "No one knows. There are a lot of big forces on the continent, but no one knows who their true masters are."
Laura nodded and said, "Then this time, did those big forces also want to deal with us?"
Kun shook his head and said, "That's not the case. If those big forces really wanted to deal with us, then we wouldn't be sitting here right now. Don't underestimate the power of those big forces. If they really wanted to deal with us, then even the entire Markey Dell family might not be able to stop them."
Laura was surprised. "Are they really that powerful?"
Quinn John smiled bitterly. "They are that powerful. The Markey Dell clan is a powerful clan on the continent, but compared to those big forces, they are still lacking. That's why I said that this time it's not the big forces that want to deal with us. It's very likely that the Immortal mercenary group acted on their own. So we don't have to worry about anything."
Laura nodded, then she frowned and said, "Then isn't Mister Zhao in a dangerous situation? They attacked the Immortal mercenary group, so they will certainly receive the revenge of that crazy person. "
Kun smiled faintly. "This Zhao isn't that simple. I suspect that he has the support of a big force. Otherwise, how could a black mage like him have so many high-level undead? Moreover, those undead seem to be from the continent. How could a mage without any background be able to do that?" Kun smiled faintly. "Zhao isn't that simple. I suspect that he has the support of a large force.
Laura froze for a moment. "Grandpa Quinn John, are you saying that Mr. Zhao Hai is also a person from that big force?"
Quinn John nodded. "It's very likely. From their way of doing things, it's a bit like that. Generally, such big forces don't act too ostentatiously. Zhao Hai is like this. Before he came to Casa City, he didn't even register with the Magician's Guild. Moreover, after he came to Casa City, he has been living in seclusion and has never caused any trouble outside. All of this seems like a big force from the underground. If Zhao Hai is really a person from that big force, then it wouldn't be a problem for us to get in contact with them. Maybe it would be beneficial."
Laura was surprised. "What benefits could there be? If Zhao Hai also represents a big force from the underground, then the struggle between those big forces might implicate us. Wouldn't we be in danger? "
Quinn John smiled. "Little Laura, you've been a merchant for so many years, do you still not understand? What is a merchant? A merchant is a person who maximizes benefits. If you're stable, then you'll never be a qualified merchant. A merchant's investment also has risks. Right now, we're investing. Tomorrow, we'll go and see if this Zhao Hai is suitable for investment. "
Laura was surprised, then she coquettishly said, "Grandpa Quinn John, aren't you too unscrupulous? You want to invest in this? "
Quinn John looked at Laura and calmly said, "Little Laura, you have to remember that in a businessman's life, there are only two kinds of people around him. One is worth investing in, and the other is not worth investing in. Even if they are your friends or relatives, you can invest in them. If your friends are worth investing in, then you can invest in them. You can help them, and they may give you more benefits. As for the other kind of people, they are not worth investing in. Even if they are your relatives or friends, you can still help them, but there must be a limit to how much you can help them, because it is impossible for them to bring you any returns." Laura nodded and said, "Don't worry.
Laura slyly looked at Quinn John and said, "Grandpa Quinn John, what kind of person am I?"
Quinn John coughed twice and stared at Laura. "You're a special case. You don't belong to either of those two kinds of people."
Laura giggled. She knew that Quinn John's education was good, but there were very few businessmen who could do this. This was because to be a businessman like Quinn John, one must always put benefits first and truly be heartless. This was something that was easy to say, but to do it, it was too difficult.
Quinn John looked at Laura's appearance and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Laura was good at everything. She was smart and very decisive. However, she was still too soft-hearted. Sometimes, she wouldn't be willing to be heavy-handed. This was very dangerous for a person with a high position.
However, Quinn John could understand that Laura was only eighteen years old, and was still a young girl in the prime of her youth. It was impossible for such a young girl to be as decisive as a superior.
Quinn John sighed. "It doesn't matter if Zhao Hai is a member of a big underground force or not. His strength can be affirmed. If we have a good relationship with him, it will only be good for us. Tomorrow, we'll go and take a look. If this Zhao Hai really doesn't have any intentions towards us, then we'll have to make friends with him."
Laura nodded, then frowned. "Grandpa Quinn John, no matter what, Mister Zhao saved my life. Tomorrow, I have to prepare a gift for him. What kind of gift do you think we should prepare?" Laura nodded, then frowned.
Quinn John frowned. "This gift is really not easy to prepare. If it's too light, then it won't show the identity of the Markey Dell clan. If it's too heavy, then it will make Zhao Hai think that we want to use these gifts to draw a clear line with him. This matter is really not easy to handle."
Laura frowned. "Yes, but I've met Mr. Zhao Hai once. He seems to be very easy to get along with, and he's also a magician. I think we should give him a magic robe and a magic staff. The last time I met him, I saw that he was holding a very common magic staff, and the magic robe he wore was also very common. I think we should give him Moonlight and Spirit Wind."
Quinn John nodded. "This is a good idea. Moonlight itself is a black magic robe, so giving it to Zhao Hai is just right. Although Spirit Wind is a wind magic staff, it can also greatly increase black magic. Giving it to Moonlight and Spirit Wind is just right. Moreover, the total value of these two things already exceeds fifty thousand gold coins. I think Zhao Hai should be satisfied."
