When Zhao Hai first opened his shop in Jade Water City, he wanted to contact more merchants as well as nobles to form his own network.
But now, he no longer needed to do so, he had already made contact with Charlie. Who was Charlie? He was a prince, a person who had the potential to become a king. It was much more reliable to have a relationship with someone other than Charlie.
Even if Charlie didn't become a king in the future, he would still be a prince, a prince with strength. Even the king wouldn't dare to do anything to him, this was because behind a prince were too many benefits. Even if the king wanted to make a move, he would need to think twice.
Just like the Aksu Empire's Southern King, although he was only a prince, his strength wasn't any worse than the king's. Even the king's decree couldn't be carried out in the Aksu Empire's Southern Empress, this was because the people there only recognized the Southern King.
The reason why the Southern King had such strength was because he was surrounded by a large group of nobles. These people's interests were intertwined with the Southern King's. Even if the Southern King didn't become a king, they still wanted to preserve his power, this way their interests wouldn't be damaged.
However, the Southern King was an exception in the continent. In the future, when the Southern King and the old king of the Aksu Empire were fighting for the throne, their father suddenly passed away. Although the old king ascended the throne, the Southern King's influence wasn't damaged. Therefore, he could only let the Southern King become the Southern King.
In the Rosen Empire, the old king's body was still very healthy. When Charlie and the others fought for the throne, if the old king was determined to pass the throne to his son, he would suppress the other nobles, reducing their power and making it impossible for a second Southern King to appear.
However, the strength of the old nobles in the Ark Continent was too strong. Sometimes, even the old king wouldn't dare to make a move against them. Therefore, all the kings wanted to establish a relationship with the old nobles. This way, even if they failed, at least they wouldn't be harmed.
Zhao Hai also knew that if he relied on Charlie, it would be very difficult for him to cooperate with the old nobles. One must know that the old nobles wouldn't participate in the fight for the throne. This was because if the person they supported failed, they would be suppressed by the new king. Although the old nobles had a deep background, being suppressed would cause their strength to slowly decrease. This wasn't a good thing for them.
If they didn't participate in the fight for the throne, then no matter who the new king was, they would still be treated with courtesy. In this case, why would they help the other princes? Because of this, the fights between princes, but the old nobles rarely participated in them.
Now that Zhao Hai had established a relationship with Charlie, it meant that he was part of Charlie's group. In this case, the old nobles wouldn't have too much contact with Zhao Hai. This was because they were afraid that if they got in touch with Zhao Hai, it would give the impression that they were on Charlie's side. This would be tantamount to taking a side, which wouldn't conform to the old nobles' principles.
Zhao Hai was also aware of this situation, so he didn't have Mu 'en contact the old nobles, he just had him look after the shop.
However, Zhao Hai believed that his shop's business wouldn't be bad. Even if the old nobles didn't participate in the fight for the throne, it didn't mean that other people wouldn't. In fact, there were a lot of nobles who wanted to participate, especially the small and medium nobles. They wanted to bet on a treasure, as long as they bet correctly, then their family would be able to soar.
Now that Zhao Hai was Charlie's subordinate, even if he wasn't famous, Charlie would still tell his subordinates about Zhao Hai's identity. These people would then inquire about some information from Trezebo, he believed that they would immediately come to cooperate with him.
Zhao Hai was still very confident, Charlie's attitude towards him in the past few days had already explained the problem. If the nobles who followed Charlie knew about Charlie's attitude towards Zhao Hai, then they would certainly come to cooperate with him. At the same time, Zhao Hai believed that Trezebo would also inform the nobles about Charlie's attitude towards him, this was because Trezebo was Charlie's closest confidant.
Trezebo would do what was most beneficial to Charlie, and this was also what Trezebo wanted to do. This was because their strength would be the greatest if they were united. Because of this, Trezebo would certainly inform Charlie's subordinates about Zhao Hai's attitude, making them respect Zhao Hai.
After dealing with the matters of Jade Water City, Zhao Hai decided to leave. He already gave Mu 'en a storage bag as well as a flying hawk. He also left 100 undead in the second basement of the warehouse in order to deal with any unexpected situations.
Now that Jade Water City's safety was no longer a concern, the Haven had been repaired. Therefore, Zhao Hai was ready to go and trade with the Shrimp Tribesmen. He was afraid that if he didn't go for a long time, the Shrimp Tribesmen would forget about this matter.
After greeting Charlie, Charlie actually personally escorted Zhao Hai to the Haven. This made Zhao Hai very moved, it also made Charlie's subordinates very surprised.
Charlie's identity was a Prince, for him to get close to Zhao Hai in such a high-profile manner, it was very surprising. Most importantly, Charlie didn't only show his closeness, he also didn't show any respect towards Zhao Hai, this made them even more surprised.
What Zhao Hai didn't know was that the Calci Family had been in an uproar because of Zhao Hai's matter. Smith wrote a letter to his brothers, telling them to support him and not let Juwan offend Zhao Hai. At the same time, they also wanted the family to cooperate with Zhao Hai, instead of forcing him.
However, Smith didn't expect that his brothers wouldn't support him immediately. Actually, Smith's brothers couldn't be blamed, after all, they hadn't seen Zhao Hai before. Moreover, Zhao Hai's relationship with their family was very short. Therefore, they wanted to observe Zhao Hai.
However, what they didn't expect was that while they wanted to observe Zhao Hai, the others didn't. This was especially true for Juwan. Juwan had never suffered such a big loss in his life. This time, Zhao Hai directly robbed his ship and threw him into the sea. Moreover, Smith had to rescue him. For Juwan, this was an unprecedented humiliation, so he wanted to take revenge.
After returning to the family, Juwan recounted his meeting with Zhao Hai. Naturally, it was inevitable for Juwan to embellish his story. He said that Zhao Hai didn't see the Calci Family, portraying himself as a good man and a punching bag.
Because of this, the Calci Family's impression of Zhao Hai became worse. Although Smith wrote a letter praising Zhao Hai's good points, the effect of a crying letter couldn't be compared to the effect of a crying letter.
Additionally, the Calci Family was eyeing Zhao Hai's things. Therefore, they wanted to force Zhao Hai and see if Zhao Hai would make a mistake.
But at this time, they suddenly received news that Zhao Hai had arrived at Jade Water City. Moreover, he was now living in the City Lord's Mansion. His relationship with Charlie was very good. Most importantly, Charlie also treated him very highly. Because of this, he had a conflict with the Second Prince.
When this news reached the Calci Family, Smith couldn't help but feel regret. He even wrote a letter to the family. This letter wasn't about Zhao Hai's good deeds, but about his grievances. At the same time, he wanted to tell the family that if they forced Zhao Hai to become their enemy, then the family wouldn't be able to live a good life.
However, the Calci Family didn't think so. In their opinion, Zhao Hai was a traitor, an ungrateful person. Because of this, they were very angry. Not only did they not listen to Smith's advice to restore their relationship with Zhao Hai, they even wanted to teach Zhao Hai a lesson. Because of this, they sent out spies to collect information about Zhao Hai's situation in Jade Water City.
But what made them disappointed was that Zhao Hai was very low-key in Jade Water City. He didn't go out at all, just like how he was in Sky Water City.
Zhao Hai's character made the Calci Family not know what to do. Even if they were old nobles, even if they had tyrannical strength, they still didn't dare to attack Jade Water City's City Lord's Mansion. This was because Charlie was currently living there.
However, they quickly found out that Zhao Hai had a shop in Jade Water City. This made the Calci Family very happy. They wanted to destroy Zhao Hai's shop in Jade Water City to teach Zhao Hai a lesson.
But after inquiring, they gave up on this idea. This was because this shop was actually given to Zhao Hai by Charlie. If it was only Zhao Hai's shop, then they wouldn't care if they destroyed it. But since it was given by Charlie, then it was a different story.
Even if these Great Nobles didn't care about Charlie, they still had to give Charlie face. Otherwise, they wouldn't only be targeting Charlie, they would also be targeting the Rosen Imperial Family.
One shouldn't think that only old nobles cared about face, the Imperial Family did. No matter what, the Rosen Empire belonged to the Calci Family. If they were forced into a corner, then they wouldn't be polite. If the Imperial Family were to go against an old noble, then the one who would suffer in the end would be the old nobles.
Since the Calci Family couldn't touch the shop in Jade Water City, then they could only make a move on Zhao Hai. They didn't believe that Zhao Hai would stay in Jade Water City forever.
Sure enough, the time came when Zhao Hai was about to leave Jade Water City. But what the Calci Family didn't expect was that Charlie would personally send Zhao Hai to the docks. The Calci Family was very clear about what this meant.
