Zhao Hai was sitting in the hotel's living room, Shue was reporting to him, "Young Master, I've inquired about it. Because of Ruyen's recent actions, Grand Duke Evan sent her to Rosen Empire's Carson City to study. I heard that she'll be leaving in a few days. Ruyen was very unhappy because of this matter, I heard that a lot of servants in the Grand Duke's mansion were implicated and got whipped."
Zhao Hai stared, he didn't think that Ruyen would really go far, moreover, she would be going to the same place as him, Rosen Empire's Carson City.
Laura smiled and said, "This is really heaven's will, I didn't think that the young miss would actually go the same way as us. If she knows that we're going to Carson City, then she would definitely follow us."
Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have that kind of charm. We're going to Iksa City while she's going to Carson City. These roads are different, she shouldn't follow us."
Laura nodded and said, "I hope so. If the Young Miss really follows us, then it would be very troublesome. Right, Brother Hai, now that Shue's identity has been exposed, my uncle will certainly know about it. What will his reaction be? Shouldn't we make preparations in advance? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Shue's identity will be exposed sooner or later. I've already thought about it. When we captured Shue, not many people knew about it. This time, we can say that Shue was seriously injured and was saved by us. Out of gratitude, he became my follower. Shue, you have to remember this. Later on, if someone asks, just say this." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Shue, you have to remember this.
Shue nodded, "Yes, Young Master."
At this time, a knocking sound was heard from the door. Zhao Hai frowned, it was already late, who would be looking for him at this time?
Shue immediately went to the front door and asked, "Who is it?"
A voice came from outside the door, "Hello Mister Wales, I am a waiter of the hotel. I am here to tell you that Grand Duke Evan has sent someone to invite you to the mansion."
Zhao Hai and the others stared, they didn't think that Evan would invite them to the mansion. Zhao Hai couldn't help but pat his head and said, "It's really troublesome. It seems like you were right. This big sister is really troublesome. I just got in touch with her and trouble came."
Laura smiled, she knew that it was impossible for Zhao Hai to like Rui En. However, Laura was still very careful when Evan invited Zhao Hai to the mansion. She turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, why did Grand Duke Evan invite you to the mansion? Is it only because of Ryan's contact with us? "
Zhao Hai frowned, after hearing Laura's words, he felt that things weren't as simple as he thought. It was impossible for Evan to invite them to the mansion because of their contact with Rui En. This wasn't something that a Grand Duke would do. If it wasn't because of this, then what else could it be?
Seeing Zhao Hai's frown, Laura had Shue send the messenger away. Then she went to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, we'll accompany you to see Grand Duke Evan. Since Grand Duke Evan has invited us, if we don't go, then we wouldn't be able to justify ourselves."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Let's go and see my Uncle Evan, hehe." Then he led the group out of the hotel. Shue went ahead and prepared Zhao Hai's carriage.
When Zhao Hai and the others came out of the hotel, Shue also drove the carriage to the hotel's entrance. Zhao Hai and the others were accompanied by a person from the Grand Duke's Mansion. This person was a small steward of the Grand Duke's Mansion, he specifically came to invite Zhao Hai.
This small steward rode a horse and followed beside Zhao Hai's carriage. It was obvious that he was afraid that Zhao Hai wouldn't know the way to the Grand Duke's Mansion.
The carriage quickly arrived in front of the Grand Duke's Mansion. Shue drove the carriage to the Grand Duke's Mansion. After the carriage was parked in the Grand Duke's Mansion's inner courtyard, Zhao Hai, Laura, and Meg were led by the small steward to the Grand Duke's Mansion's second courtyard. They went straight to Evan's study.
Evan's current position was more stable than before, but he didn't have to deal with as many things as before. At that time, he had just taken over the Purcell Family's power center, so he needed to know a lot of things about the family. Because of this, he had to personally deal with a lot of things. But now, it was different. Now that he had complete control over the Purcell Family, he had arranged some of his trusted aides in important positions, so there were a lot of things that he didn't have to personally deal with.
This time, Zhao Hai only brought Laura and Meg. Shue, Blockhead, and Nier were left behind in the carriage. There was a small courtyard where the carriage was parked. There were a few rooms there, which were specifically for servants to rest. It was obvious that Zhao Hai's current status couldn't be compared to Laura's, so Shue and the others couldn't be arranged to rest in a better place.
When Zhao Hai and the others arrived outside Evan's study, the small steward who led them immediately went to the door and said to a servant standing outside, "Please inform the Grand Duke that Mister Wales has arrived."
The servant looked at Wales, then he gave a salute and said, "Mister, please wait a moment." It was obvious that he had received special training, so he didn't show any disrespect. Zhao Hai gently nodded and calmly stood there.
Up until now, Zhao Hai still didn't understand why Evan was looking for him. It was only because of Ruyen's matter, which made him feel a bit guilty. Evan shouldn't be looking for him for such a trivial matter, but as for why, Zhao Hai wasn't sure.
At this time, the servant who came to report came out. He gave a salute to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister Wales, please, the Grand Duke is waiting for you inside." Zhao Hai nodded, then he led Laura and Meg inside.
Evan's study didn't change, it was still the same as before. Evan was sitting in the lounge waiting for Zhao Hai and the others. Zhao Hai and the others were led by the servant to Evan. The three of them gave a salute and said, "We have seen the Grand Duke."
Evan looked at Zhao Hai and couldn't help but frown. It was obvious that he didn't like Zhao Hai's attire, but he still nodded and said, "Mister Wales, please take a seat."
After Zhao Hai gave his thanks, he sat opposite to Evan. Laura and Meg stood behind Zhao Hai, the two of them were wearing veils. Evan only looked at the two of them and didn't pay any attention to them. However, his impression of Zhao Hai had worsened.
The servant poured Zhao a cup of tea, then Evan said, "This time, I took the liberty to invite Mister here because I have something I would like to ask Mister."
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Please ask, Grand Duke, I will tell you everything I know."
Evan smiled faintly and said, "I heard that mister has friends in the Beastman Prairie?"
Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he immediately remembered that he did say this to Ryan. Therefore, he didn't deny it and said, "Yes, I won't hide it from the Grand Duke. I have some business dealings with some tribes in the Beastman Prairie, so I can be considered a friend."
Evan nodded and said, "I wonder if mister has heard any news about a Dark Mage in the Beastman Prairie?"
Zhao Hai and Laura stared for a moment, then they immediately understood that Evan didn't call them for Ryan's matter, but for Zhao Hai's matter.
When they withdrew from Casa City, they bought a lot of supplies that they needed in the Beastman Prairie. People with discerning eyes knew that they went to the Beastman Prairie. Therefore, when Evan heard that Zhao Hai had friends in the Beastman Prairie, he immediately invited Zhao Hai to ask about them.
However, Zhao Hai just frowned and said, "Dark Mage? I haven't heard of this before. The Grand Duke also knows that the Beastman Prairie is too big, and my area of activity is only a small area. Therefore, I haven't heard of any Dark Mages in the Beastman Prairie. "
Evan was obviously disappointed, but he still nodded and said, "Then forget it. But I still want to ask mister for a favor. If mister goes to the Beastman Prairie in the future, I ask mister to help me pay attention to the news of a Dark Mage, as well as a young lady named Laura."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "This isn't a problem, it's just on the way. But can I take the liberty to ask the Grand Duke, why do you want to inquire about these two people? If these two people offended the Grand Duke, then I can discuss with my friends and fund the arrest of these two people. "
Zhao Hai deliberately said this, he just wanted to see how Evan would react. Evan froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Mister misunderstood. These two people didn't offend me. On the contrary, they are my friends. But because of some matters, they went to the Beastman Prairie to do business, and we lost contact. I just want to know the news of these two people."
Zhao Hai suddenly understood, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "I misunderstood the Grand Duke. So they are the Grand Duke's friends. I ask the Grand Duke to rest assured, I will certainly help the Grand Duke keep an eye out. I ask the Grand Duke to tell me the names of these two people."
Evan smiled and said, "Good, the Dark Mage is called Zhao Hai, and the other is Laura. Laura was originally a member of the Markey Dell clan. I hope mister can help me pay attention."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "The Grand Duke is too polite. For me, this is just a matter of convenience. I will ask my beastman friends to help you pay attention."
Evan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble mister. Later on, when mister comes to the Purcell Duchy, you must come to the Grand Duke's Mansion. I appreciate a young talent like mister."
Zhao Hai chuckled and said, "The Grand Duke is overpraising me. I only have a small business, I'm just trying to make a living. I don't deserve the Grand Duke's title."
Then Zhao Hai pretended to look at the sky, then he said to Evan, "It's already late, I'll take my leave. Tomorrow, I'll be on my way, I ask the Grand Duke to forgive me." Then he stood up.
Evan smiled faintly and said, "Mister, please. I've troubled mister today." Evan also stood up and prepared to send Zhao Hai out. But when he stood up, his gaze fell onto Laura and Meg. Although the two were wearing veils, they were wearing light ones, so one could still see their faces. Evan couldn't help but stare at the two. Zhao Hai's eyes lit up when he saw the two's faces.
Then his eyes flashed as he carefully looked at Laura and Meg. When Zhao Hai saw Evan's expression, he had a bad feeling. Evan's eyes seemed to have seen something.
Zhao Hai immediately said, "Grand Duke, please wait. I'll be taking my leave." Then he led Laura and the others out. At this time, Evan was carefully looking at Zhao Hai. Hearing Zhao Hai's words, Evan couldn't help but stare, then he immediately shouted, "Mister, please wait."
Zhao Hai stopped and turned his head to look at Evan. Evan carefully looked at Zhao Hai, his eyes flashed with joy. Then he turned his head to the servant standing on the side and said, "You go out first. Tell the others that nobody is allowed to approach my study."
The servant answered, and turned away, closing the door behind him. Zhao Hai couldn't help but complain inwardly, he knew that Evan had discovered something.
When the servant went out, Evan immediately went to the door and carefully looked outside. Then he turned his head and looked at Zhao Hai with a strange expression. Zhao Hai looked at Evan and said, "I don't know what the Grand Duke wants me to do?"
Evan looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, "Kid, don't pretend. Do you really think that I wouldn't recognize you after not seeing you for so many years? Even if I can't recognize you, how can I not recognize Meg? You still don't know, but your father gave me a portrait of you. If you weren't dressed like this, I would have already recognized you. "
Zhao Hai stared, when Evan called out Meg's name, he knew that he was exposed. He just didn't think that Evan's eyes would be this sharp.
Evan looked strangely at Zhao Hai and said, "I just don't understand, why would Laura be with you? Laura, what's going on here? "
Laura also stared, she didn't think that Evan would recognize her. Now that things have turned out this way, even if she didn't want to, she couldn't. Laura took off her veil and looked at Evan with a puzzled expression, "Uncle Evan, how did you recognize me?"
Meg also took off her veil. Although Zhao Hai didn't move, he still carefully looked at Evan. Evan didn't answer Laura's question, instead he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Adam, why are you with Laura? What's going on here? "
When Zhao Hai heard Evan, he completely gave up. It seems that he was really recognized by Evan. He sighed and said, "Nephew has seen Uncle Evan. Nephew has now changed his name to Zhao Hai Buda. Usually, I'm called Zhao Hai."
Evan stared at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, you said you're called Zhao Hai? That Dark Mage Zhao Hai? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, nephew is the Dark Mage Zhao Hai who appeared in the Purcell Duchy some time ago."
Evan looked at Zhao Hai with disbelief, "How is this possible? This is impossible! Didn't you drink the Water of Nothingness? How can you still use Dark Magic? "
