The Wu Patriarch looked at the list in his hand. The list was given to him by Viper Three. There were a lot of things missing from it. However, the Wu Patriarch was also a knowledgeable person. He silently calculated and quickly found out that the things that the other party had removed were things that he had overstated. Now, the value of the items on the list was about the same as the Wu Family's assets.
The Wu Patriarch was somewhat surprised, he put down the list and looked at Viper Three, "I didn't expect you to be such a knowledgeable person. However, I still have some opinions on this list. There are some things that I don't really need. I want to exchange them for things that I do need. Is that okay?" The Wu Patriarch nodded, he didn't say anything.
Venomous Snake Three said in a deep voice, "Yes. The other party also said that Family Head Wu can make changes to the list, but the price cannot be changed. In other words, no matter how Family Head Wu changes the list, the total value of the items on the list cannot be changed. What do you think? If you agree, then we can change the list now. Ten days later, the other party will prepare the items for you. "
The Wu Patriarch nodded, then he picked up a pen and looked at the list. After pondering for a moment, he began to slowly change the list. This time, he changed it very slowly. It took him more than two hours to change everything on the list. Then he made a copy of the list and gave it to Viper Three, "Third Master, this is the list that I have changed. Please pass it on."
Viper Three nodded and received the list. Then he turned around and left. The Wu Patriarch looked at Viper Three's back and frowned. The other party's strength was beyond his expectations. He wanted a lot of things, but the other party said that they could be prepared within ten days. It can be seen that the other party's influence wasn't small. Who was the other party?
It wasn't that the Wu Patriarch didn't think about finding out who was behind Viper Three. However, this clue was cut off when it came to Zhao Hai. The Wu Patriarch was sure that this matter was related to Zhao Hai. This was because after Viper Three obtained the items, he would send them to Zhao Hai. This was too conspicuous. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see what was going on. Therefore, the Wu Patriarch was sure that this matter was related to Zhao Hai.
However, it was hard to say what role Zhao Hai played in this. Moreover, he couldn't find out who was behind Zhao Hai. This made the Wu Patriarch somewhat worried.
However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. In any case, he was going to leave Aurora City soon. Even if something happened here, it wouldn't have anything to do with him. The matter of the transaction was even simpler. He wouldn't act until he saw the hare.
After Viper Three returned, he directly went to Zhao Hai's new courtyard. Zhao Hai had already moved to the new courtyard. This new courtyard was a lot more spacious than the original one. There were also some family members of the Ice Blade Gang who were servants here. These people could be at ease. Therefore, Zhao Hai directly moved to this courtyard.
Although this courtyard wasn't the best place in the city, it was very quiet. Moreover, the people living here were all influential people in the city. There was no need to worry about thieves. Zhao Hai was very satisfied with this place.
After receiving the list that Viper Three handed over, Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then this matter can be settled. Ten days later, the things will be handed over to the Wu Patriarch. Also, ask him to prepare the deeds and other things. Third Master, I'll leave this matter to you. Go." Viper Three excitedly complied, then he turned around and left. He was very concerned about this matter because these things would all belong to him in the future.
Zhao Hai put away the list and then directly left Aurora City. When he arrived outside the city, he found an uninhabited iceberg and then used the transmission formation to contact the Lost Soul Empire. He sent the list over to the Lost Soul Empire and had Wen Wenhai and the others prepare everything.
Actually, the things that the Wu Family wanted, aside from spatial equipment, were pills. This really made Zhao Hai surprised. They didn't want a lot of magic artifacts and almost didn't want any formations. Instead, they wanted a lot of pills. However, this was also what Zhao Hai wanted. Pills could be mass-produced in the Lost Soul Empire. Therefore, he had as much as he wanted. He wasn't worried about the other party wanting these things.
After sending the items back, Wen Wenhai and the others also sent some jade slips to Zhao Hai. These jade slips contained things that Zhao Hai needed to deal with. After dealing with these matters, Zhao Hai returned to Aurora City.
At this moment, Aurora City was still very lively. The news of the Wu Family's departure wasn't only known to Zhao Hai, the other people also knew about it. They were all eyeing the Wu Family. However, the Wu Family's businesses weren't small. It would be very difficult for any of the Great Clans in the city to monopolize it. However, they weren't willing to share it with others. Therefore, they were currently observing and waiting to see if the Wu Family would lower the price.
However, the Wu Family didn't make any moves. They were only in contact with Viper Trio. Many people in Aurora City knew Viper Trio, but they didn't know how Viper Trio managed to get in touch with the Wu Family.
What Zhao Hai was worried about was whether or not Viper Trio would have someone to manage the Wu Family's businesses. However, after Zhao Hai asked Viper Trio about this, Viper Trio wasn't worried at all. This was because the Ice Blade Gang still had some connections in Aurora City. Most importantly, there was another place in Aurora City that could provide people for the Ice Blade Gang, and that was the slums of Aurora City.
One shouldn't underestimate the slums. Although the majority of the people in the slums didn't have much ability, there were still a lot of capable people. Additionally, although the Wu Family left behind a lot of businesses, the places that needed talents the most were the storefronts. As long as there was a shopkeeper, these storefronts could be managed well. As for the land, the fishing grounds, and those other places, they were all managed by the Wu Family's workers. Now, those workers were still there, so it would be fine as long as they continued to manage them.
The only thing that Viper Trio was worried about was that if he were to take over the Wu Family's businesses, it would cause other families to covet them. If that was the case, what would happen if the other families were to use force against him?
Although the Ice Blade Gang had some experts, these experts were only in the gang. Compared to the other clans, the Ice Blade Gang was far inferior. Most importantly, the Ice Blade Gang didn't have experts like the other clans.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't worried. He had Viper Trio and Ice Wolf recruit a large number of people from the slums. After those people were recruited, they immediately became members of the Ice Blade Gang. Although these people weren't strong, they had the advantage of numbers. Moreover, these people were actually very willing to join the Ice Blade Gang. This was because if they joined the Ice Blade Gang, they would be able to get money and their families would have an income. This was a good thing for them. Many of the slums would even consider joining a gang as a way out.
In the past, it wasn't that the Ice Blade Gang didn't want to recruit people. Who wouldn't want to recruit more people to make their gang stronger? However, they didn't have the means to do so. The Ice Blade Gang's income was only so much every month. How could they recruit people? Even if they recruited people, they wouldn't be able to support them.
However, for Zhao Hai, this wasn't a problem at all. Not to mention the fact that the Spirit Tree Staff Shop was making more and more money, just the money in his hands was enough to not be used up. So what if he recruited some people?
As for the problem of experts, it was even easier to solve. Zhao Hai wasn't worried about this problem at all. This way, all the problems would be solved. As long as he gave the materials to the Wu Family's Patriarch, then all of the Wu Family's businesses would be theirs.
The Lost Soul Empire didn't need ten days to prepare the things that Zhao Hai needed, it only took three days. However, after Zhao Hai received these things, he didn't immediately go to the Wu Family to trade. Instead, he waited for a few days. On the eighth day, Zhao Hai decided to trade with the Wu Family.
Zhao Hai didn't go with Viper Three to the Wu Family. Instead, he gave the ten pieces of Space Equipment to Viper Three. The things on the Wu Family's list were all inside the Space Equipment, so they weren't conspicuous.
When Viper Three received the spatial equipment, his hands were shaking. Zhao Hai looked at Viper Three's expression and said, "After you see the Wu Family's Patriarch, give him the items. But at the same time, tell him that all of his properties will be transferred to you. After that, they can leave. I can give them five days to leave, but you can't drag it out for too long." Viper Three nodded and said, "Don't worry.
Viper Three quickly replied, "Mister can rest assured, the Wu Family's people have already been transferred away. Only a few people are left behind. These people are currently being dealt with. As long as we complete the trade, I believe that they can immediately leave. However, once they leave, it would be equivalent to telling the other Patriarchs in the city that the Wu Family's businesses have been sold. When the time comes, I'm afraid that those people will find trouble with us. Mister, we don't have that many experts here, so I'm still worried."
Zhao Hai said, "Don't worry, go and trade with the Wu Family. After the trade, the Wu Family will leave. Although the city will know about it, they will still observe for a day or two. One or two days should be enough for us to deal with this matter. Remember, when the Wu Family's Patriarch leaves, go to the city's best restaurant and book two days later. Book the entire restaurant. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Although Viper Three didn't know what Zhao Hai wanted to do, he still complied. Then he took the ten spatial equipment and left. Along the way, he felt that his body was constantly sweating. He was very nervous.
After arriving at the Wu Family's residence, a servant immediately informed the Wu Family's Patriarch about Viper Three's arrival. At this time, there weren't many people left in the Wu Family. Their shops were also closed. Only a few people were left in the shop, waiting for Viper Three to make the trade.
Viper Three and the servant arrived at the Wu Family's Patriarch's study. This time, the Wu Family's Patriarch made an exception and stood up. He looked at Viper Three and said, "Third Master, do you have any good news for me this time?"
Viper Three looked at the Wu Family's Patriarch and said, "I do have some good news. Patriarch, can we talk inside?"
Naturally, the Wu Family's Patriarch didn't have any reason to disagree. He invited Viper Three into the study. After the two sat down, the Wu Family's Patriarch looked at Viper Three and said, "Third Master, I don't know when the other party will make the trade?"
"Right now!"
