Li Cong and Li Yunbai were quietly sitting in their rooms. It was already evening outside, but they still hadn't received any news. In other words, Bai Mingyue didn't give them any news. This made the two of them feel very heavy in their hearts.
Li Yunbai looked at Li Cong and said, "Father, what do we do now?"
Li Cong replied, "Let's wait. If Bai Mingyue doesn't reply, then I'm afraid we can only surrender today." Li Cong knew that it was impossible for them to stop Zhao Hai with their strength.
At this time, footsteps were heard from outside. Then a voice was heard, "Leader, the City Lord is here."
Upon hearing this, Li Cong couldn't help but shake. He immediately stood up and said, "I know. Hurry, inform everyone to go greet him." Then Li Cong walked out with Li Yunbai following behind him.
When the two left the room and walked towards the gate, the other managers of the Ice Sword adventurer team also came out. They were confused as they followed behind Li Cong.
At this time, Li Cong didn't have time to say anything to them. Instead, he directly led them out of Ice City. When they arrived at Ice City's gate, they saw Bai Mingyue's deer carriage parked there. Bai Mingyue and Bai Erkui were standing outside the carriage.
Li Cong quickly stepped forward and gave Bai Mingyue a salute, "We have seen the City Lord." Although the people of the Ice Sword adventurer team knew that they weren't on good terms with the City Lord, they didn't dare to say anything. They quickly stepped forward and said, "We have seen the City Lord."
Bai Mingyue nodded and said, "Alright, there's no need to be so polite. Let's go in. Leader Li, I'm afraid we'll have to disappoint you this time. The family said that they can't send anyone. We can only rely on ourselves this time."
Hearing Bai Mingyue's words, Li Cong couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression. However, he still said in a deep voice, "I'm already very happy that City Lord has come. City Lord, please." Bai Mingyue nodded, and the group entered the Ice Sword adventurer team.
Then Li Cong immediately invited everyone to the conference room. After Bai Mingyue sat down, Li Cong told everyone about Zhao Hai's appearance as well as what happened to the White Bear Adventurer Team today. Li Cong told everyone about Zhao Hai's appearance tomorrow.
Everyone knew what had happened to the White Bears adventurer team. Only, they hadn't thought that there would be such a story behind it. To think that this was actually a gift from Zhao Hai. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but panic.
Glancing at the crowd, Li Cong said, "Quiet. Everyone, quiet down." Li Cong held a high position in the Ice Sword adventurer team. Everyone slowly quieted down.
Li Cong looked at everyone and said, "The City Lord is here to support us. That person dared to kill our group, but he doesn't dare to attack the City Lord. I want to see if he dares to attack us."
"Haha, it's good that everyone is here. It saves me a lot of trouble. It's best to deal with them all together." A voice was suddenly heard, causing the entire conference room to turn silent. Then everyone saw a person suddenly appear in the conference room. He seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, making everyone nervous. Then everyone in the conference room took out their Magic Staffs.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone before shifting his gaze to Li Cong and Li Yunbai. He smiled faintly and said, "I thought that you might resist, but I didn't think that you would use this method. Haha, interesting. You're White Fox City's City Lord, right? I wanted to deal with the Ice Sword adventurer team before looking for you. Now that you're here, it saves me a lot of trouble. "
Bai Mingyue looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Who are you? What do you want to do? Don't forget that I'm White Fox City's City Lord. If you dare to make a move, the empire won't let you off. "
"Ice Jade Empire, Bai Family. Haha. So what if the Ice Jade Empire let me off? If they don't know what happened, then they wouldn't bother me, right?" Zhao Hai calmly looked at Bai Mingyue.
Although Zhao Hai said that he would give Li Cong a day, how could he just leave Li Cong alone? Li Cong had always been under his surveillance. However, Zhao Hai didn't think that Li Cong would dare to look for another backer after seeing the situation with the White Bear adventurer team. This person was quite bold. However, the death of the White Bear adventurer team would be in vain.
Bai Mingyue looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Then what do you want to do? We won't submit. "
"That's not up to you." Originally, Zhao Hai didn't want to take them as slaves. However, now that Li Cong had done so, he had no choice but to do so. Since they were affected by karma, then so be it. After all, Zhao Hai wasn't afraid of karma.
Bai Mingyue and the others still wanted to make a move. However, they discovered that they couldn't use any of their mental strength. Without mental strength, they were like tigers without fangs. They were nothing more than sick cats.
Zhao Hai looked at them before his gaze fell on Li Cong and his father. He suddenly smiled faintly and said, "Li Cong, to be honest, I didn't think that you would be this bold. Haha. Do you think that I'll be afraid of you just because you brought up Bai Mingyue? You're too naive. But that's good. A person like you should know how to act appropriately. You should be able to hold your own. "
Li Cong and his father's expressions weren't good. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would come early today. They thought that Zhao Hai would wait until the sky turned dark. However, they didn't expect that Zhao Hai would make a move even before the sky turned dark. When they were in the conference room, Li Cong told the others to stay away. But now, it seems like he was harming himself.
Zhao Hai turned to Bai Mingyue and the others and said, "Alright, I won't waste words with you." After he said that, Zhao Hai waved his hand and the slave formations entered their bodies.
Naturally, these people didn't really want to submit to Zhao Hai. They didn't even have the slightest intention of submitting. Because of this, they couldn't bear the pain and rolled on the ground. Before long, they all fainted. If these people could use their spiritual force, then it wouldn't be easy for Zhao Hai to deal with them. But it was a pity that they couldn't use their spiritual force. This was because their spiritual force was sealed by Zhao Hai's formations.
This was also because they were careless. In fact, the Ice Sword Guild also had their own defensive formations. If they opened their formations, then it would be very difficult for Zhao Hai to use them. Unfortunately, Li Cong was afraid that he would expose himself if he used the formations too early. Therefore, he wanted to wait until after the conference. This gave Zhao Hai an opportunity.
Before long, the slave formation that Zhao Hai had released disappeared into their bodies. However, they were still in pain as they fainted several times. It took a while for them to recover.
After they woke up, they cupped their fists towards Zhao Hai and said, "We have seen Master."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Take a seat. Call me Young Master from now on." Everyone nodded and sat down.
Zhao Hai looked at them before his gaze fell onto Bai Mingyue. Zhao Hai said, "Mingyue, the market will be managed by Li Cong's Ice Sword Guild in the future. Do you understand?"
Bai Mingyue nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master, I understand. But Young Master, the Bai family asked me to pay a lot of money. If we don't get the income from the market square, I'm afraid there will be problems."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about money. I'll tell you about it later. Li Cong, your Ice Sword Guild is still in this state. But you need to pay more attention to the market. I don't want the market's money, I want the market's information. There are all kinds of people in the market. Adventurers from various cities will come here to trade. There should be a lot of information in the market, you need to pay attention to it."
Li Cong hastily replied, "Yes, Young Master. You can rest assured."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he looked at the others and said, "Li Cong, Li Cong, and Mingyue, stay behind. Everyone else can leave." Everyone nodded before they turned around and left.
After they left, Zhao Hai turned his head to Bai Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, I have a lot of food and vegetables. You need to start this business as soon as possible. How about it? Are there any problems? "
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Bai Mingyue's eyes couldn't help but light up. He immediately replied, "There's no problem. Young Master can rest assured. What the Arctic Continent lacks the most are these things. This business is the best."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "You can do this business. Moreover, you can use the money you earn to pay the Bai Family. Don't let the Bai Family find out about this. I want you to stay in the position of White Fox City's City Lord for a long time. Don't be afraid to spend money, I don't need it. Do you understand?"
Bai Mingyue naturally understood what Zhao Hai meant. He immediately replied, "Yes, Young Master can rest assured. I'll do my job well. The Bai Family won't have any problems. As long as I give them enough money, nobody would be able to move my position. Recently, the Bai Family is preparing for a war with other families. They need money to send people and prepare supplies. Therefore, my position is very important."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he couldn't help but stare, "What's going on? Which family is the Bai Family going to war with? "
Bai Mingyue replied, "It seems to be the Xiang Family. The Xiang Family is also a Great Family in the Ice Jade City. However, the Xiang Family has been in decline recently. They have internal and external troubles. In the past, our Bai Family and the Xiang Family had enmity. Therefore, the Bai Family wants to use this opportunity to eliminate the Xiang Family in one fell swoop.
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "So it's like this. Then won't the Ice Jade Country become chaotic? What would happen if they become chaotic? "
Bai Mingyue replied, "It's difficult. The Ice Jade Country has had many conflicts like this, but it hasn't been chaotic. Although the Imperial Family has delegated a lot of power to the local affairs, they still value two things very much. One is the tax collection, and the other is the army. They hold these two things very tightly, but they don't care much about other things. It's because of this that the Ice Jade Country hasn't had too many conflicts. This is because as long as they control the tax collection and the army, the other families wouldn't be able to cause trouble."
