After Zhao Hai and Charlie returned to the ship's living room, Charlie looked at Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly, "Mister, what you did today put yourself in opposition to my second brother. My second brother's mind isn't that broad, he will definitely find trouble with you in the future."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Being a person is like this. If you become friends with some people, then you will naturally become enemies with others. Being smooth and slick is something that only exists in legends."
When Charlie heard Zhao Hai, he understood that Zhao Hai was expressing his loyalty to him. Charlie saw that although Zhao Hai agreed to help him, he wouldn't be like his subordinates, who would follow him blindly. What Charlie wanted was to have a certain degree of autonomy, a certain degree of right to speak, a certain degree of equality.
Charlie understood that people like Zhao Hai have their own abilities, and people with abilities have their own pride. They wouldn't become slaves to be ordered around by others. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai told him these things.
Charlie nodded and said, "Mister can rest assured, I will ensure mister's safety. My second brother is underestimating my strength, mister doesn't need to worry."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I'm not worried at all. To be honest, I don't care about the Second Prince's strength. With his current strength, it's impossible for him to do anything to me. Your highness doesn't need to do anything for me."
When Charlie heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but knit his brows and said, "Mister, it's better to be careful. Don't underestimate my second brother, his strength isn't weak at all. I'm afraid that he isn't any weaker than Grand Duke Lionheart."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't send 9th ranks to deal with me, I won't have any problems. Your highness can rest assured."
When Charlie heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but nod. To be honest, 9th ranks weren't easy to invite. When Lionheart's Family was destroyed, the Calci Family and the Shelley Family sent a total of four 9th ranks to kill the two 9th ranks of Lionheart's Family. Naturally, they had to pay a huge price in order to do so.
Now that Zhao Hai was so confident, Charlie didn't say anything. From this point, one could see Zhao Hai's strength. Actually, Charlie could see some of Zhao Hai's strength from the undead on the ship. But because the undead didn't make a move, Charlie couldn't see their true strength. But looking at the undead's appearance, Charlie didn't dare underestimate Zhao Hai.
Looking at the sky, it was already time for lunch. Zhao Hai invited Charlie to the dining hall for lunch. Naturally, the food they ate wasn't bad. Beef, lamb, fire fish, vegetables, everything was there.
Charlie looked at the food on the table, there were some that he hadn't eaten before. This made him very curious. Rosen Empire was the continent's most powerful country, he had eaten all kinds of food. But now, there were some things on the table that he hadn't eaten before. This was beyond his expectations.
Naturally, the wine was still Milk Wine, but the staple food was changed to Bread Fruit. Zhao Hai wanted Charlie to taste something that he hadn't tasted before.
Charlie was also very curious as he looked at the breadfruit. When he started to eat it, he was also very surprised. These things were actually very delicious.
Especially the Bread Fruit, Charlie could see that it was a fruit that grew on a tree. This made him feel very strange, he hadn't seen this kind of fruit before.
After taking a bite of the Bread Fruit, Charlie put it down and turned to Zhao Hai, "Mister, what kind of fruit is this? Why did it change like this? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "This thing is called Bread Fruit, I gave it that name. Hehe, at present, only I have it in the continent. But since the production hasn't increased, I can't sell it on a large scale. Most importantly, this Bread Fruit is the main ingredient for brewing beer. Because of this, I didn't prepare to sell it to the continent.
When Charlie heard Zhao Hai say that the Bread Fruit was the main ingredient for brewing beer, he couldn't help but stare. Then he nodded, "That's true, we can't sell it. It's better to make it into beer. “
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness should try it. In fact, the production of this thing is very high, it's not much worse than Bamboo Rice. But the most important thing is that this tree has very high requirements for the environment. Because of this, it can't be planted in ordinary places. Naturally, the production wouldn't increase."
Charlie nodded, then he frowned and said, "Mister, this won't affect the production of beer, right?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It shouldn't. I'm currently researching whether we can use other things to replace the Bread Fruit in brewing beer. You should know that the Bread Fruit is a very rare thing. Even if it can't be made into beer, it's still very good to sell."
Charlie nodded and said, "It's really a pity. If this thing can be used as army rations, then it would be really good. Not only would it greatly increase the marching speed, it would also allow the army to eat delicious food. It's really a good thing."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and didn't answer. Sure enough, when a person stands at a different height, they would think differently. Zhao Hai didn't think that using Bread Fruit as army rations would bring benefits to the army, but Charlie did.
After eating lunch, Zhao Hai returned to his room. Naturally, he also arranged a good room for Charlie and the others, it was the best room on the ship.
Upon returning to his room, Zhao Hai immediately entered the Space and went to the Processing Factory to take a look. Very good, in about ten hours, the antidote would be ready.
Zhao Hai sat in the Space's living room while Laura and the others sat beside him. Zhao Hai took a sip of tea while Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, we're now on Charlie's side. Would he be angry with your attitude today?"
Zhao smiled faintly. "I just want to see if he will be angry. If he is angry, then it means that he is not broad-minded. Even if I help him, it will be limited. But if he is not angry, then I will do my best to help him ascend to that position." Zhao smiled faintly. "But if he is not angry, then I will do my best to help him reach that position."
Zhao Hai put down his cup of tea and sighed, "It's not good for a leader to have a broad mind. It's also not good to have a strong desire for control. Therefore, I did what I did."
Laura nodded and didn't say anything else. What Zhao Hai said was reasonable. If Charlie didn't have a broad mind, then he might become the second Prince. Helping him would be a very dangerous thing.
At this time, Meg looked at the processing plant and sighed, "Why is time passing so slowly? There's still more than ten hours to go. Every minute feels like ten years."
Zhao Hai looked at her and smiled faintly, "It's alright, it's not that bad. Don't worry, after eating dinner and sleeping, the antidote should be ready."
Meg pouted and said, "It's not that easy. Young Master, look at the Third Prince and see what he said about you." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then turned on the monitor. Before long, the Third Prince's room appeared. Charlie was sitting in the room and drinking tea while Liru was standing beside him.
Charlie was really thirsty, but at the same time, he was also relaxing. He didn't think that his trip to Rising Water City would be discovered by the Second Prince. For him, this wasn't good news.
Liru looked at Charlie and knew what he was thinking. He couldn't help but whisper, "Your Highness, now that the Second Prince discovered us, would he also discover Aonas? If Aonas is discovered, then he would be in danger. Should we inform Aonas?"
Charlie put down his cup and shook his head, "There's no need for that. This time, we made ten secret shots. The Second Prince shouldn't be able to find out that it was Aonas."
Liru nodded, then he looked at Charlie and said, "Your Highness, isn't Mister Zhao Hai being too unreasonable today? He clearly wants to rely on you, but when he talked to you, it was as if he was negotiating with you. He didn't put himself in your position at all, instead, he acted as if he was your partner. "
Charlie smiled faintly and said, "Isn't this good? Liru, remember, people with ability have their own pride, and Mister Zhao Hai is one of them. Besides, he really doesn't need me to do anything. Don't look at the Calci Family's unpleasant relationship with him. I think that the Calci Family wouldn't do anything to Zhao Hai in the end. This is because Zhao Hai can bring them huge benefits. For these benefits, they wouldn't really fall out with Zhao Hai. With the Calci Family as his backing and the Shelley Family's good relationship, do you really think that Zhao Hai would care about my status as a Prince? "
Liru thought for a moment and couldn't help but agree with what Charlie said. The Shelley Family was a Great Family that spanned the entire continent. Their strength was very formidable. With Zhao Hai's good relationship with the Shelley Family, even if he left Rosen Empire and went to other countries, as long as he had the Shelley Family's help, he wouldn't have any problems.
Even if the Radiant Church was formidable, it was impossible for them to kill all Dark Mages. They might be able to deal with famous Dark Mages, but they were still lacking when it came to dealing with the mysterious Zhao Hai.
Charlie let out a long breath, his body leaned on the chair as he leisurely said, "Having Zhao Hai help me is the best decision I've ever made. You've seen Second Brother's appearance, he wasn't this arrogant before. It seems like he got some help from someone. My poor second brother, why don't you understand that Imperial Father is still alive, if you form a faction, it would only make Imperial Father feel that you're a threat. You'll only get further and further away from that position."
Then he slowly closed his eyes. Before long, a soft sound was heard as he fell asleep. Liru immediately took out a blanket from the ship and gently covered Charlie with it.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai turned off the screen and let out a long breath. Then he turned to Laura and said, "I didn't think that Charlie's evaluation of me would be so high. But Laura, if the Second Prince really formed a faction, would the Rosen Empire's Emperor really think that he would be a threat to the Second Prince? After all, they are father and son. "
Laura forced a smile and said, "So what if they're father and son? In the Empire, isn't there a lot of cases where the father kills the son, and the son kills the father? Not to mention the Empire's Family, even in ordinary Noble Families, there are a lot of people who would go crazy for that position. The Rosen Empire's Emperor is first a King, then a father. Anyone who can threaten his throne is his enemy, whether it's his brother or his son, it's all the same. "
Zhao Hai sighed, then he nodded and said, "It's lonely at the top, is it really that easy to be a King? I believe that there are a lot of Kings who haven't left the palace in their entire life. Everything they know is from books or what their subordinates tell them. How much can they know about the real situation? In my opinion, the most pitiful person in a Kingdom is the King. "
Laura smiled and said, "If other people heard you, they would laugh to death. The King can't go out of the palace, but don't forget, the entire Kingdom belongs to him. If he wants someone to live, then they will die. That kind of supreme authority can make anyone intoxicated. Otherwise, why do you think everyone likes to be a King?"
Zhao Hai chuckled and said, "Who knows, in any case, I don't want to be a King. Living like this is good, we can go out and have a walk. If we don't want to go, then we can sit here and drink a few cups of wine. Wouldn't that be better?"
Laura smiled and said, "Only you would want to live like this. There are a lot of people in the continent who don't want to live like this. But this is also good. In the past, I was busy with my business every day, but now I don't have to worry about so many things."
Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, "That's not necessarily true. We're going to have our own Kingdom soon. When the time comes, we'll be very busy. Just thinking about that kind of life gives me a headache. Right, Laura, when will your subordinates finish gathering?"
Laura thought for a moment and said, "I gave them ten days. This time, I called all of my subordinates. Some of them are far away while some are close. Therefore, I need more time. Right, Uncle Evan didn't say anything, right?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything, he just told me that he didn't want to let those people go. But there's no other way. He's now the Grand Duke of the Purcell Duchy, as well as the Patriarch of the Purcell Family. He has to think about the Purcell Family. Because of this, he could only convene the Elders' Council and discuss this matter. In the end, all of the Elders voted to let your subordinates go. Because of this, I feel that Uncle Evan isn't very happy right now."
Laura smiled and said, "Of course he wouldn't be happy. Uncle Evan's temperament is still that of a warrior. He values loyalty above all else. But now, this loyalty has been firmly locked by the family's interest. This is equal to Uncle Evan's nature being firmly locked. It would be strange if he's happy. Right, when will he take Ruyen away?" Laura smiled and said, "Uncle Evan is very happy.
