Zhao Hai calmly sat on the carriage as it headed towards the Shelley Hotel. When the carriage arrived at the hotel, the people inside immediately recognized Zhao Hai's carriage. They couldn't help it, Zhao Hai's carriage was very special, it was hard to not recognize it.
The hotel's waiters immediately greeted Zhao Hai and invited him inside. At the same time, another waiter immediately went to report to Marriott. These waiters were very clear about Zhao Hai's position in Marriott's heart. Naturally, they didn't dare neglect Zhao Hai.
When Marriott received the report, he couldn't help but stare blankly. He didn't expect Zhao Hai to visit him at this time. Now that Megan was in trouble, he shouldn't have come at this time.
However, Marriott immediately invited Zhao Hai to his living room. At the same time, he also invited Might. After the three sat down, Marriott looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, what's the matter?" After several contacts, they were now familiar with each other. Marriott also automatically changed the way he addressed Zhao Hai to Little Hai, in order to make the relationship between the two sides closer.
Zhao Hai didn't feel anything about the way he addressed Marriott, he just smiled and said, "Did you forget what I told you yesterday? I've already calculated the output of the vegetables."
Upon hearing that Zhao Hai came to discuss business, Marriott relaxed. He was afraid that Zhao Hai had a falling out with Smith and came to him for help. Although he would still help Zhao Hai, the benefits that the Shelley Family would get would be smaller. He couldn't use Zhao Hai to build a good relationship with Smith.
Marriott quickly smiled and said, "Alright, let's talk about it. Actually, I'm also very anxious."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Later on, I can provide you with about 500 thousand jin of vegetables, 10 thousand fire fishes, grains, and fruit oil. How much do you want? Is this amount enough?"
Marriott didn't think that there would be so much, he excitedly said, "It's enough, it's more than enough. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I'm not afraid that you'll mistreat me in terms of price, because those things are mine. If you dare to limit my price, I won't sell them to you, hehehe."
Marriott and Might also chuckled. Then Might looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Zhao, can I ask you what happened to Miss Megan yesterday?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Can I ask you what happened to Miss Megan?" Might also discovered that Zhao Hai was a very straightforward person. If you want to know something from him, it's best to be direct. Zhao Hai's temper was a bit like a Samurai's, he liked to be straightforward, that's why he asked so directly.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Brother Smith has already investigated the matter. Even if you didn't ask me, I would've told you. The second thing that I came here for today is to tell you this."
Marriott and Might stared, then they looked at Zhao Hai with excitement. They could already guess what Zhao Hai wanted to tell them.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and smiled faintly, "You didn't guess wrong, this time Megan was attacked by Grand Duke Lionheart's people. They wanted to capture Megan and then have Duke Smith drive me out of Sky Water City. Unfortunately, they didn't succeed. Because of this, Duke Smith was very angry and prepared to retaliate against Lionheart. I told him that you also have a grudge against Lionheart and are preparing to deal with him. So I want him to cooperate with you. How about it? Do you agree? "
Although Marriott and Might had guessed what Zhao Hai wanted to say, when they heard Zhao Hai affirm their conjecture, they were still very excited. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would have such a high position in Smith's heart. Zhao Hai caused trouble and even posed a threat to Megan, yet Smith didn't blame him.
However, this matter was definitely a good thing for the Shelley Family. Although they were preparing to deal with Grand Duke Lionheart, it wouldn't be easy to deal with him inside the Rosen Empire. They would also have to pay a big price.
But if the Calci Family were to join them, then the situation would be completely different. The Calci Family was an old noble family of the Rosen Empire, their influence inside the empire was huge. With their help, dealing with Grand Duke Lionheart would be a lot easier.
This time, the battle between the Shelley Family and Grand Duke Lionheart also exposed the family's shortcomings. Although they were a powerful merchant family, they weren't orthodox nobles. Therefore, in terms of influence and influence, they were a lot worse than orthodox nobles. Even Lionheart, who wasn't a powerful old noble, dared to suppress them because they didn't have a lot of influence in the empire. Moreover, because their business was too big, they had businesses all over the empire. Because of this, they didn't have a sense of belonging to the empire and were treated as outsiders. This made it very inconvenient for them to deal with a lot of matters.
This time, they dealt with Grand Duke Lionheart because the Rosen Empire didn't treat them as one of their own. Therefore, if they didn't pay the appropriate price, then it would cause the Rosen Empire's nobles to be dissatisfied. When the time comes, they would certainly unite to deal with them.
But now, with the Calci Family's participation, the situation was completely different. The Calci Family was a very influential family in the Rosen Empire, even the Imperial Clan didn't want to provoke them. However, the Calci Family's style of doing things was very low-key. Because of this, even if the Rosen Empire's Imperial Clan saw the old nobles as a thorn in their side, they didn't have much resentment towards the Calci Family.
And just as Marriott thought, Grand Duke Lionheart was indeed a chess piece that the Rosen Empire's Imperial Clan wanted to use to deal with the old nobles. But now, this chess piece wasn't very obedient, he was too arrogant.
Now, the Imperial Clan was ready to change their chess piece. In the eyes of those in power, everyone was a chess piece, and chess pieces were divided into useful ones and useless ones. And useful chess pieces were divided into obedient ones and disobedient ones. When dealing with disobedient chess pieces, the Imperial Clan would decisively give them up. This was because a disobedient chess piece could become an unstable factor, not only to the enemy, but also to themselves. No one wanted to have an unstable factor by their side.
Marriott laughed, he patted Zhao Hai's shoulder and said, "I agree, if there's such a good thing, why wouldn't we agree? Brother, you really are our Shelley Family's lucky star. Rest assured, on behalf of the family, I can promise you that we will do our best to cooperate with the Calci Family. Please tell Grand Duke Smith for me."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll go back and tell Grand Duke Smith. Right, I'll have someone deliver the vegetables in a few days. How about a hundred thousand jin first?" Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll go back and tell Grand Duke Smith.
Marriott nodded and said, "Alright, do you want to deliver it here? Do you have a ship? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Rest assured, I won't delay your matter." Then he stood up and walked out.
Actually, what Zhao Hai didn't know was that when he arrived at the hotel, Smith was also summoning an elder of the Calci Family in the City Lord's Mansion. Naturally, this elder was a Dark Mage.
This elder looked to be about 60 years old, his hair was already white and he wore a black magic robe. However, his face wasn't covered, it could be seen that his complexion was pale.
Smith looked at the elder and said, "Elder Naro, how is it?"
Naro nodded and said, "Just as Mister Zhao Hai said, the people who came this time were indeed Grand Duke Lionheart's people. They also came for the young miss, their goal was to kidnap the young miss and force you to drive Zhao Hai out of Sky Water City. This way, they would be able to deal with Zhao Hai."
Smith relaxed, but his complexion turned ugly. Smith wasn't an idiot, he was a leader, it was impossible for him to be swayed by his emotions. It was impossible for him to believe what Zhao Hai said. Therefore, he had Elder Naro turn the people who attacked Megan into Advanced Level undead and asked them about the situation. The result was indeed the same as what Zhao Hai said, making Smith feel relieved.
However, at the same time, the fire in Smith's heart was completely ignited. Grand Duke Lionheart really didn't put the Calci Family in his eyes. Although Smith was only the second successor of the family, he was still one of the most important members of the family. Otherwise, the family wouldn't have sent him to Sky Water City. One must know that Sky Water City was the family's money bag.
Another thing was Megan. Although Megan was Smith's daughter, she also had another identity, the Calci Family's most favored little princess. Since ancient times, the Calci Family had always been in a situation where there were more males than females. The first generation had very few females, but there were a lot of males. This was even more true for Megan's generation. The entire Calci Family, including Megan, only had three daughters. One of them died while the other was a famous dissolute woman who wasn't favored by the family. Megan was the best, not only was she beautiful, she was also quiet and obedient. She was as pure as a piece of white paper, she was the family's treasure.
With Megan's status, she wasn't any worse than the Rosen Empire's Princess. Grand Duke Lionheart actually dared to touch such a person. This made Smith, who loved Megan, extremely angry.
However, he was still calm, he didn't immediately make a move against the Grand Duke. As a citizen of the Rosen Empire, he knew more about the empire's situation compared to Marriott. Therefore, he knew that Grand Duke Lionheart's identity was very sensitive. It was best not to make a move against him, otherwise, the Rosen Empire's Imperial Family would pay attention to the Calci Family. This wasn't worth it, after all, in the face of the family's interests, one must make concessions.
