When Zhao Hai arrived at the dining room, Smith was already waiting for him. Upon seeing Zhao Hai arrive, Smith warmly invited Zhao Hai to sit down.
After Zhao Hai sat down, the servants immediately arranged the tableware on the table. Smith looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Now that things have been settled, as long as we're ready, we can immediately deal with Lionheart."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's good, what do you need me to do?"
Smith smiled and said, "There's no need, as long as we're ready, Lionheart wouldn't be able to escape. Shelley Family has already made contact with the Imperial Family, as long as the Imperial Family doesn't oppose, then everything will be fine."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's good, but will the Rosen Empire's Imperial Family agree? After all, he's a Grand Duke. "
Smith smiled faintly and said, "So what if he's a Grand Duke, can't we deal with a Grand Duke? As long as there's money, not to mention a Grand Duke, even if there are ten Grand Dukes, the Rosen Empire would still sell them out. Moreover, Lionheart's recent actions were too excessive, the Rosen Empire's Imperial Family has long been unhappy with him. Even if the Shelley Family didn't make a move, the Imperial Family would still make a move against Lionheart. Now that there's someone willing to pay, all they need is a word from the Imperial Family. Naturally, they would agree. "
Zhao Hai actually asked this deliberately. He already heard the conversation between Smith and Marriott, but he didn't want Smith to know that he heard it.
However, Zhao Hai still frowned and said, "Lionheart is still a Grand Duke, he has his own Duchy. If he runs back to his Duchy and organizes his army, then things would become very troublesome."
Smith smiled faintly and said, "Shelley Family's money isn't spent in vain. As long as someone accuses Lionheart, then the Emperor and the Parliament would remove him from his title. He would no longer be a Duke, dealing with him would be much easier."
Zhao Hai understood Smith's approach. This approach was very ruthless, they wanted the Rosen Empire to remove Lionheart's title. This way, Lionheart wouldn't be able to mobilize the soldiers in his territory. When the time comes, they would naturally be able to do whatever they want to him.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "However, Grand Duke Lionheart's family is also a large family. Their strength isn't weak. Even if the Empire doesn't allow them to mobilize the Duchy's soldiers, they still have their own private soldiers. And those private soldiers aren't weak either."
Smith smiled faintly and said, "Little Hai, did you forget what we do? We are Black Magicians. If you want to compete with us in terms of numbers, aren't you looking down on us? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I forgot. But this is good. If there's anything you need me to do, just tell me."
Smith nodded, he wasn't prepared to let Zhao Hai do anything. He just wanted to let Zhao Hai see the Calci Family's strength.
In the next few days, the Rosen Empire was very calm. However, they heard that Grand Duke Lionheart had returned to his Duchy. This was what Zhao Hai expected. Grand Duke Lionheart wasn't a fool, when he found out that his plan to deal with Megan had failed, he guessed that the Calci Family would find out that it was him who did it. Now, just like what Zhao Hai said, he was preparing to return to his territory and make his last stand.
Zhao Hai didn't know that Lionheart didn't have any other choice. When he found out that his plan to kidnap Megan failed, he immediately went to the Rosen Empire's Emperor. He wanted the Emperor to come forward and talk to the Calci Family. He was willing to pay any price to let this matter pass.
However, what Lionheart didn't expect was that the Rosen Empire's Emperor didn't agree. Moreover, the Emperor's attitude towards him was very cold. This made Lionheart feel that something was wrong. He knew that the Emperor had given up on him. Therefore, he immediately left Carson City and returned to his fief.
His reaction couldn't be described as slow. If he was a bit slower, then he wouldn't have the opportunity to escape. This was because the Calci Family and the Shelley Family had already mobilized their forces to deal with him.
Almost everyone in the Rosen Empire knew about this matter, but these people also received benefits from the Shelley Family. Therefore, nobody made a sound and just quietly watched Lionheart's joke. They wanted to wait for Lionheart to fall so that they could get some benefits from him.
If Lionheart falls, then his fief would become ownerless. When the time comes, it would be divided among the Great Nobles. Moreover, Lionheart had already received benefits from the Shelley Family, and Lionheart had already offended the Calci Family. Naturally, the Great Nobles wouldn't care about Lionheart.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai was watching all of this with cold eyes. He knew that this operation wasn't something that he could participate in. The Great Nobles' eyes were red as they waited for their share of benefits. At this time, if he were to participate, then he wouldn't be able to get any benefits. In any case, he wouldn't have a good time.
However, Zhao Hai didn't close his eyes. Three days after meeting with Marriott, he sent him 100 thousand jin of vegetables. These vegetables were sent to the Shelley Hotel. As for how they would be divided, that would be up to the hotel.
But this time, Zhao Hai didn't give Marriott any fire fishes. Fire fishes were very troublesome to deal with. Zhao Hai planned to wait for the storm to end and get a ship before giving them the fire fishes. This way, it wouldn't be too strange. One must know that spatial equipment in the continent couldn't store living things. If Marriott saw Zhao Hai taking out live fire fishes from the Space, he would certainly be surprised.
The Shelley Family and the Calci Family's movements were very fast. In just seven days, they were already prepared. Then the Calci Family came forward and accused Lionheart of violating the Empire's law by assassinating the Calci Family.
Hearing the Calci Family's accusation, almost all the Nobles laughed. It wasn't that the Rosen Empire didn't have such a law. On the contrary, the Rosen Empire did have such a law, but nobody respected it. If two Nobles had a grudge against each other, what would they do if they didn't want to resolve it directly? Assassination was the most commonly used method, so almost nobody respected this law.
Now that the Calci Family brought up this law, it was clear that they were just looking for an excuse. However, the Nobles also knew what was going on. This meant that the Calci Family was going to make a move against Lionheart.
Everyone was watching from the sidelines, they didn't say a word. Moreover, the Emperor also accepted the Calci Family's accusation against the Grand Duke. Then he immediately called for a meeting and in the shortest time possible, the Grand Duke was declared guilty. All of his titles and titles were revoked. From the day of the verdict, he was no longer a Noble. It was even more impossible for him to mobilize the troops of the Duchy.
At the same time as the verdict, the Shelley Family and the Calci Family made their move. In just three days, all of the Grand Duke's forces outside the Duchy were wiped out. What made people feel strange was that the Shelley Family and the Calci Family didn't face any resistance.
This made the Shelley Family and the Calci Family feel very strange. They didn't know what the Grand Duke was doing, did he give up resisting? It shouldn't be, according to the Grand Duke's character, he was definitely a crazy person. It was impossible for him to give up resisting.
However, the two families didn't think too much about it. They immediately rushed into the Grand Duke's territory and surrounded the Grand Duke's Mansion. Just as they were about to make their move, the Grand Duke's Mansion suddenly burst into flames. After the Mages of the two families extinguished the flames, they rushed into the Grand Duke's Mansion and discovered that it had been burned down. Moreover, they couldn't even find the secret passage to the Grand Duke's Mansion. The Grand Duke's Mansion had mysteriously disappeared!
Grand Duke Lionheart's disappearance caused an uproar in the Rosen Empire. They didn't think that the Grand Duke would play such a beautiful trick. He played with the Shelley Family and the Calci Family. Most importantly, nobody in the continent knew where the Grand Duke went.
Nobody knew, but one person did, and that person was none other than Zhao Hai. When the Grand Duke returned to his territory, Zhao Hai had already sent an eagle to monitor his territory. Although Zhao Hai didn't want to get involved in this matter, and didn't want to take advantage of it, he was very clear that he had a huge grudge against the Grand Duke. If the Grand Duke were to escape, then Zhao Hai would have bad luck in the future. Therefore, he kept an eye on the Grand Duke, he couldn't let him escape.
While monitoring the Grand Duke, Zhao Hai discovered that the Grand Duke was actually in contact with the Radiant Church. Moreover, the Grand Duke's escape this time was actually supported by the Radiant Church.
Although the Radiant Church's strength was very weak in the Rosen Empire, one shouldn't forget that they were now the largest organization in the continent. Most importantly, the Rosen Empire didn't allow the Radiant Church to enter. Because of this, the Rosen Empire thought that the Radiant Church's strength in the Rosen Empire was very weak, it was simply impossible for them to do anything. They didn't think that the Radiant Church would be able to do such a big thing right under their noses.
This time, the Radiant Church sent a total of six 8th rank Mages to support the Grand Duke. At the same time, they also sent a lot of people in the Rosen Empire to participate in the operation. With the help of the Radiant Mages, the Grand Duke was able to leave his territory without being discovered.
Zhao Hai had been monitoring them, but when Lionheart contacted the Radiant Church, he didn't stop him. When the Grand Duke was rescued, Zhao Hai also didn't stop him. This was because Zhao Hai wanted to see the Radiant Church's strength in the Rosen Empire through this operation.
He didn't know if he didn't see it, but when he saw it, he was startled. The Radiant Church's strength in the Rosen Empire was very strong. There were at least tens of thousands of people in the dark. Moreover, these people were from all walks of life. Some of them were even from small nobles, it was very difficult for people to discover their identities.
