The thirteenth prince's face was now ashen, he stared blankly at Might and muttered, "They know, the family actually knows, how is this possible? How is this possible? My acting has been very successful all these years, nobody has ever found out, why is this so? "
When Might heard the thirteenth prince, he couldn't help but sneer, "So the thirteenth prince already knew about this. Very good, I'll report this matter to the family so that the thirteenth prince wouldn't be interrogated. What are you doing, why haven't you taken the thirteenth prince away?"
The development of this matter can be described as a sudden turn of events. Zhao Hai thought that by saying that about the thirteenth prince, his cooperation with the Shelley Family would be ruined. But he didn't think that things would take such a dramatic turn. This was beyond his expectations.
Marriott looked at Zhao Hai who was still in a daze, then he smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry, mister. I'll have to ask mister to wait for a moment, I'll have them prepare immediately." Then he waved his hand and some people immediately came forward to drag the thirteenth prince away. At the same time, the waiters immediately cleaned the tables and returned everything to normal.
Laura and the others who were with Zhao Hai were also stunned, they didn't think that things would turn out like this, this was beyond their expectations.
The group sat down while Laura and the others could only stand. Zhao Hai looked at Laura and the others, then he turned to Marriott and said, "Manager Marriott, can you arrange a place for my people to eat? I don't need them here, you can have them withdraw, they have been following me for the past few days, it has been very tiring for them."
Marriott was used to seeing big scenes, so he naturally didn't have any objections. He just smiled and said, "I was impolite, I hope mister can forgive me." Then he waved his hand as a waiter came over and led Laura and the others to rest.
Zhao Hai did this because he didn't want Laura and the others to stand behind while they eat. This made Zhao Hai feel very apologetic, so he sent Laura and the others away in advance.
Besides Zhao Hai and the others, only the waiters were left in the restaurant. Might looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, "Mister isn't angry right?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I'm not, in fact, this kind of thing isn't worth my anger."
Marriott smiled and said, "Mister is really magnanimous. Haha, this time mister really helped us a lot. Because Lionheart's attention was focused on mister, our family was able to solve this problem. Now that the family has begun to deal with Lionheart, I believe that they won't be able to stay in the limelight for long."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "As long as one's brain isn't damaged, then most people wouldn't make a move against a behemoth like the Shelley Family. Such a large family has a very deep background, how could they be easily moved?"
A trace of pride appeared on Marriott's face, but it quickly disappeared as he smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, the family is really in danger this time. We didn't think that in order to deal with us, they would actually marry a woman to our family. Then after the woman gave birth to a child, they would have the child destroy the family's business. The whole plan has been going on for decades, it's too ruthless."
It wasn't only Marriott, even Zhao Hai felt a chill on his back after hearing Might's words. In order to destroy the Shelley Family, 13th Young Master's mother's family actually went this far. This was too crazy, the people of this world were really crazy.
Might turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister Wales, did you come here to cooperate with the Calci Family? Mister Wales, I treat you as a friend, so please allow me to say something that you don't want to hear. With your current strength, you don't have the qualifications to cooperate with the Calci Family. Their family's threshold is very high. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I came to Sky Water City this time to visit the Calci Family. At the same time, a friend of mine gave me a letter from the Calci Family, asking them to take care of me. I offended some people in the Aksu Empire, so I couldn't stay there anymore, so I could only come here."
Might and Marriott didn't say anything, this kind of situation was very normal. Offending the ruler of a country, and having no ability to resist, they could only hide in another country. This kind of situation wasn't uncommon in the continent, so the two of them didn't find it strange.
Might looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister Wales, may I know who you offended? If possible, our Shelley Family is willing to help you solve this matter. "
Zhao Hai looked deeply at Might, then he smiled faintly and said, "Since we're partners, I don't want to hide it from you for too long. In fact, the person I offended was the Aksu Empire's Southern King."
Might and Marriott looked at each other, they could see a trace of understanding in each other's eyes. They couldn't find any information about Zhao Hai before, they only knew that he suddenly appeared and received a noble title from Grand Duke Evan. They didn't have any information about him before this, this made them very puzzled.
But after some investigation, they couldn't help but associate Zhao Hai with the Dark Mage Zhao Hai who appeared in the Purcell Duchy. Although Zhao Hai didn't use Dark Magic in front of people, it still made them think about it.
This time, Might asked Zhao Hai who his enemy was because he wanted to use this information to inquire about Zhao Hai's details. At the same time, he also wanted to see if Zhao Hai was sincere in cooperating with them.
For a Great Family like theirs, finding a partner wasn't something that could be done casually. They needed to know the details of their partner, otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
Because of this, the Shelley Family never stopped investigating Zhao Hai's identity. But until now, they could only investigate Zhao Hai's identity as a Dark Mage, they couldn't investigate any further.
Zhao Hai's answer just now already revealed his identity to them. The two also understood that Zhao Hai knew that they were probing him, but Zhao Hai still told them his identity, this showed that he trusted them. They also heard that in addition to Southern King, Zhao Hai also offended the Radiant Church. No wonder Zhao Hai ran to Sky Water City, this was because the Radiant Church couldn't reach Sky Water City.
Marriott looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Please rest assured, Mister Wales, you'll always be Wales."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He knew that Might and Marriott understood his words. At this time, the dishes were already served and the three people sat down.
The guests and the host enjoyed the meal, nobody asked any questions. Zhao Hai didn't ask about the thirteenth prince's matters, he didn't want to ask about the Shelley Family's internal affairs. Might and the others also didn't probe Zhao Hai's identity. Zhao Hai already showed his sincerity, if they continued, then they wouldn't know what's good for them.
In the evening, Zhao Hai and the others rested inside the hotel. Although Ruyen's status was higher than Zhao Hai's, in Might's eyes, Ruyen simply didn't exist, only Zhao Hai was important. This also made Ruyen understand her identity, she was a princess in the Purcell Duchy, but in the Rosen Empire, she was nothing.
The next morning, after having his breakfast, Zhao Hai asked Might about the City Lord's Mansion. He was going to thank the City Lord and show him Bell's letter. He wanted to see the City Lord's attitude towards him.
Sitting in his carriage, he slowly headed towards the City Lord's Mansion. Zhao Hai looked at the busy people outside the carriage, his face was calm, but his heart wasn't as calm as his face. He was thinking about what kind of attitude the City Lord would have when meeting him.
One must know that he was just an unknown noble. In the eyes of the Calci Family, he was just an insignificant member of the League of Dark Mages. On the other hand, the Calci Family's influence on the league was huge. The difference between the two was too big.
Laura and the others were sitting in Zhao Hai's carriage, they were also nervous. This time, they were going to see one of the continent's top families, the Calci Family, they couldn't help but be nervous.
It took more than an hour for the carriage to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion. This time, Zhao Hai was accompanied by Laura and the others, as well as a person sent by the Shelley Hotel. The group slowly arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
In front of the City Lord's Mansion was a large square. The square was paved with blue stones, the area was about a few thousand square meters. The square was very lively, from time to time, there were pedestrians passing by. There were also peddlers setting up their stalls in the square. This was beyond Zhao Hai's expectation, he thought that a big family like the Calci Family wouldn't allow peddlers to set up their stalls here.
However, in front of the City Lord's Mansion, there were still a few hundred square meters of empty space. Obviously, they wouldn't allow peddlers to set up their stalls here.
The carriage steadily stopped in front of the City Lord's Mansion. The mansion's gate was very tall, about five meters high. In front of the gate, there was a huge plaque with the words "City Lord's Mansion" written on it. On top of the plaque, there was an emblem of the Calci Family, a magic staff covered in clouds.
This emblem was very simple, but it was very famous in the continent. This was because the magic staff engraved on the emblem was the Calci Family's heirloom, the Dark Scepter.
Just by hearing the name, one could feel that this magic staff was very powerful. This magic staff was a treasure of Dark Mages, it can increase the power of Dark Magic by 50% and increase the casting speed of Dark Magic by 50%. From these two functions, one could see how formidable this magic staff was.
