Going back to a few days ago, Smith was sitting in his study. Phil was standing beside him, looking at him with a pained expression. Phil was very clear about Smith's mood, this was because Smith received a letter from the Calci Family. They wanted to deal with Zhao Hai, and this time, they would send 9th ranks.
Smith couldn't understand, he thought that his clan was wise and powerful, but when it came to dealing with Zhao Hai, why would they be so stupid? It was as if they were talking about love with a cow.
And because of Smith's words, the family was now dissatisfied with him. This made Smith's head hurt even more. He was very clear that Zhao Hai was no longer alone, behind him stood Prince Charlie. Moreover, he heard that Zhao Hai was valued by Charlie. If the family really killed Zhao Hai, then it would be the same as making an enemy out of Charlie. If Charlie really came to power, then the Calci Family wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.
Smith also knew that the family didn't put Charlie in their eyes. Charlie was only the Third Prince, he wasn't the Crown Prince. Although he had the right to inherit the throne, he was still very low-key. This was also the reason why the family didn't put Charlie in their eyes.
But Smith knew that Charlie wasn't being ignored, on the contrary, he was very valued. This was evident from the fact that the Rosen Emperor gave him Jade Water City.
Although the influence of the Rosen Empire's Imperial Family was very big, there were only a few cities that could be considered as having a high income. Jade Water City, Rising Water City, and Carson City were all included in this list.
Carson City was the Empire's capital, the center of the Empire. The Crown Prince lived there, helping the Emperor with some government affairs. It can be said that the Crown Prince's influence in Carson City was the greatest.
However, Carson City was filled with dragons and tigers, the Crown Prince's influence was only relative to the other princes. There were a lot of forces in Carson City that were stronger than the Crown Prince. Even the Calci Family's influence in Carson City wasn't any smaller than the Crown Prince's. Additionally, Carson City was under the Emperor's watch, it would be very difficult for the Crown Prince to do anything. Because of this, Smith wasn't very optimistic about the Crown Prince.
The Second Prince's control of Rising Water City was a good place, it was similar to Sky Water City's geographical location. However, Smith wasn't optimistic about the Second Prince. The Second Prince was too short-sighted, he managed Rising Water City for the sake of making money. Now, there were a lot of merchants who didn't go to Rising Water City to do business. If it wasn't for its geographical location, Rising Water City would have already been ruined.
The Third Prince, Charlie, managed Jade Water City. Regarding this Third Prince, the major forces of the Rosen Empire didn't seem to pay much attention to him. This in itself was very strange, the third successor of the continent's most powerful nation didn't seem to be paid much attention to him.
This could only mean that he was very low-key, very low-key. Because of this, nobody paid attention to him. But Smith knew that people like this were very frightening. If you don't pay attention to him, you wouldn't know how many cards he had in his hand.
This time, Zhao Hai was personally poached by him from Rising Water City to Jade Water City. Because of this, he almost had a conflict with the Second Prince. A low-key person like him was willing to have a conflict with the Second Prince for Zhao Hai. This in itself showed the importance of Zhao Hai in his heart. How could this not be enough to attract the attention of the Family?
But the people in the family seemed to have turned a blind eye to this, they didn't even think about it. They only wanted to deal with Zhao Hai. Not only did this offend the Third Prince, it also dealt a blow to the Calci Family's reputation.
Zhao Hai's identity was now known to the entire continent, he was a Dark Mage. Why did he come to Sky Water City? This was something that the people of the continent had already guessed. It was because he offended Boris and the Radiant Church, so he had no choice but to come to Sky Water City to seek refuge with the Calci Family.
Even if the other powers of the continent didn't know about the existence of the League of Dark Mages, they knew that the Calci Family was the head of all Dark Mages in the continent. And the reason why Dark Mages were willing to join the League of Dark Mages was because the League could provide them with help.
In this case, the Calci Family's attitude towards Zhao Hai was very inappropriate. What do you want those Dark Mages to do? Will they still join the League? Will they still work for the League? In the future, even if Dark Mages are in trouble, they wouldn't dare to seek refuge with the Calci Family. This was because they were afraid that they would end up like Zhao Hai, their treasures would be snatched away by the Calci Family.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Hai had a fire fish that the Calci Family wanted. They wanted to snatch it away, but Zhao Hai didn't give it to them.
Outsiders didn't care about the internal affairs of the Calci Family, they only knew that Juwan was also a member of the family. Without the support of the Calci Family, it was impossible for him to stop Zhao Hai from snatching his things.
Smith was worried about this matter. The Calci Family's image in the hearts of the Dark Mages wasn't very good. If this continues, then the League of Dark Mages might fall apart.
What Smith didn't understand was that Peter, who was the one who understood the League of Dark Mages the most, should know about this. But why didn't he stop it? Not only did he not stop it, even when Smith sent a letter to him, he didn't agree. This was what Smith was most confused about.
Phil, as Smith's housekeeper, naturally understood what was going on. But he didn't have any good ideas right now. Smith was only the second successor of the family. Above him was the Patriarch, the Elder Council, and the other successors who were eyeing him covetously. What he could do was limited.
At first, Phil thought that the family wouldn't go too far with Zhao Hai. After all, this matter was the Calci Family's fault. Moreover, it was a Dark Mage who came to seek refuge with them. But he didn't think that things would turn out like this.
Zhao Hai had now snatched more than 30 battleships from the Calci Family. Although he didn't kill the 8th ranks, he still crippled them.
To be honest, when Phil heard this news, he was very angry. He didn't think that Zhao Hai would be this ruthless. Ten 8th ranks were crippled. But he also knew that Zhao Hai was already giving face to the Calci Family, otherwise, Juwan would have already died.
What Phil didn't expect was that the family would send a 9th rank expert to deal with Zhao Hai. For the family, this wasn't a wise decision.
Can a 9th rank expert be easily dispatched? Moreover, for this reason to deal with a Dark Mage, the family would have to pay a huge price to send a 9th rank expert. Most importantly, if they were to deal with Zhao Hai, what would the Dark Mages of the League of Dark Mages think about it? Would they still be able to count on those Dark Mages to help them in the future?
Just as Phil was having a headache over this matter, Smith suddenly said to Phil, "Uncle Phil, what do you think those people in the family are thinking? Why do they have to deal with Zhao Hai? Now that things have reached this point, I'm afraid that Fifth Young Master wouldn't be able to control it. "
Phil nodded and said, "Indeed, inviting a 9th rank expert is a big matter, it's not something that Fifth Young Master can do. It seems like this decision was made by the Patriarch or the Elder Council. But why did they make such a decision? This old servant doesn't understand. Could it be that because of what happened a while ago, they became confident that Zhao Hai had swept away the family's face? This doesn't seem like something the Patriarch would do. "
When Smith heard Phil, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Uncle Phil, do you think that the family is afraid of Zhao Hai?"
Phil stared, he looked at Smith and said, "Afraid? What's there to be afraid of about Zhao Hai? Even if he's strong, it's impossible for him to face a 9th rank expert. Why would the family be afraid of him? "
Smith let out a long breath and said, "The family isn't afraid of Zhao Hai's strength, they're afraid of Zhao Hai's brain. Wasn't the method of suppressing the Radiant Church a while ago Zhao Hai came up with Zhao Hai's idea? They're afraid that if Zhao Hai knows more about the Dark Mage Alliance, it would slowly weaken the family's control over the alliance. Therefore, they want to use this matter to get rid of Zhao Hai, removing this hidden danger. But Dark Mages are people who only care about themselves, they wouldn't care about Zhao Hai's life or death. Because of this, the family dared to make such a decision, they aren't afraid that the Dark Mages would leave the alliance. "
Phil stared, then he muttered, "Is it really like this? Even if the Dark Mages don't leave the alliance, I'm afraid that they wouldn't let the alliance know too much about them. This would be a huge blow to the alliance. "
Smith coldly snorted and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Zhao Hai's idea made the entire empire start to have Dark Mages. The family's influence in the empire is huge. In the future, those who want to learn Dark Magic would become disciples of the family. Now that the family doesn't have to worry about the inheritance of Dark Mages, the Dark Mage Alliance is no longer important to them. Because of this, they want to deal with Zhao Hai."
Phil stared at Smith and said, "Is it really like this? Would the family really do this? " Although he was doubtful, in his heart, he had already agreed with Smith's words. It was possible that the family would deal with Zhao for this reason.
Phil had served the Calci Family for his whole life, so he understood the people in the family very well. Although the Calci Family was now very low-key, they still haven't gotten rid of the Great Nobles in their bones, greed, greed for wealth, and greed for power.
