Zhao Hai's eyes were closed as he sat inside the car. His face didn't show any sadness or joy, his expression was calm. However, his heart wasn't as calm as his appearance.
Megan looked at Zhao Hai with some unease. Ever since Zhao Hai came out of the Robert Family's shop, he had been thinking about something with his eyes closed. This made Megan even more uneasy.
Megan wasn't afraid of anything else, she was just afraid that Zhao Hai would misunderstand her relationship with Terry. That would be troublesome. In fact, Megan and Terry were childhood sweethearts. But after she went to Sky Water City, the number of times they met decreased. A few years ago, she discovered that Terry was a very deep schemer. Moreover, Smith was also against her relationship with Terry. And since Megan didn't have any special feelings towards Terry, she slowly alienated herself from him.
Later on, Megan slowly discovered that all the men who came in contact with her, as long as they weren't her relatives or had a strong background, would have bad luck. Moreover, it was very likely that these things were done by Terry.
Megan wasn't worried about Zhao Hai's safety. But today, Terry was very enthusiastic towards him. This made Megan very nervous, she was afraid that Zhao Hai would misunderstand her. Moreover, Zhao Hai didn't say anything when he got inside the car, he just sat there without making a sound. This made Megan even more nervous.
Laura also noticed Megan's expression. She was an exquisite person, so she immediately understood what Megan was worried about. However, she thought that Megan's worries were unnecessary. She believed that Zhao Hai wasn't worried about this. But in order to prevent Megan from worrying, Laura opened her mouth and said, "Brother Hai, what are you thinking about?"
Zhao Hai opened his eyes and looked at the group before he said, "This Terry isn't simple. I can see that this guy is interested in you. Moreover, when he looked at me, his eyes were filled with killing intent. However, he concealed it very well. Moreover, when he was doing business with us, he didn't play any tricks. Such a person isn't easy to deal with, I think that he would definitely use some underhanded methods to deal with me."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Megan relaxed. Zhao Hai's words meant that he didn't have any suspicions about her relationship with Terry. This made her feel relieved.
Megan let out a long breath and said, "Don't worry, Brother Hai, there's no need for you to be afraid of Terry. Although Terry is the Robert Family's first successor, he still can't cover the sky with one hand. There are a lot of people who are eyeing his position. The Robert Family is different from our family, their successors are directly passed down to their eldest grandson. The eldest grandson has a very high status in the family, Terry is the eldest grandson of the Robert Family. But at the same time, they also have several successors. If the eldest grandson makes a mistake, they would immediately abolish him and choose another one. Moreover, their family doesn't have the means to monitor the situation.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Of course I'm not afraid of him. It's just that I don't want to use the power I have right now. If I do, I would be exposed. Because of this, Terry would be troublesome for us. Don't forget, although I'm engaged to you, I'm still an outsider to the people of the Rosen Empire. If I don't show any mercy to Terry, then the Nobles would unite against me. When that time comes, I'm afraid that the Calci Family wouldn't be able to suppress this matter."
Megan didn't oppose this time, she just nodded. She had been in contact with a lot of things, so she naturally knew how formidable the Nobles were. If the Nobles really unite against Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai's troubles wouldn't be small. Not to mention the Calci Family, even the Imperial Family wouldn't be able to suppress this matter.
Laura nodded and said, "Brother Hai, you're right. But I'm afraid that Terry also understands this. Because of this, he dared to make a move. When the time comes, it would be more troublesome."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, this kind of person is very insidious. Therefore, we need to be careful when dealing with him. We need to pay more attention to him in the future."
Megan nodded and said, "Brother Hai, I'll talk to Grandfather and have him pay attention to him. If he really dares to make a move against you, then I wouldn't spare him."
Zhao Hai looked at Megan and smiled, "What's wrong? I can see that you don't have a good impression of that guy. What happened? Did he offend you? "
Megan shook her head and said, "He didn't offend me, but he's very insidious. Brother Hai wasn't the only one who said this, my father also said this. Our two families are old friends, so we grew up together. Our relationship was very good, but after we moved to Sky Water City, we didn't have much contact with each other. But every year when we return to Carson City, we would still play together. Later on, my father told me that he's too insidious, so he didn't allow me to have any contact with him. I also discovered this, so I didn't have much contact with him."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Uncle Smith said so, then it shouldn't be wrong. In the future, you need to be careful of this kind of person. This kind of person is a hypocrite." While they were talking, the ox-cart had already left the city and was about to reach the foot of Dark Mountain.
Megan thought for a moment and said, "Little Hai, I think that there will be a lot of banquets in the city in the next few days. Terry will certainly participate, so you need to be careful of him."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. If he really dares to annoy me, then I'll destroy his Robert Family. Hmph."
Megan didn't think that Zhao Hai was joking. If Zhao Hai was really annoyed, then the Robert Family wouldn't have a good time. When the time comes, not only the Robert Family, but also the entire Rosen Empire would be turned upside down by him.
Before long, the carriage stopped at Dark Soldier Fort. After Zhao Hai and the others got off, they entered the fort and returned to Rustling Tree Courtyard.
Upon arriving at the courtyard, a servant immediately greeted them and said to Zhao Hai and Megan, "Young Master Zhao Hai, Young Lady, the Patriarch just passed down the order that the Calci Family will be having a banquet tonight. Everyone must participate."
Megan nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. You can go back to your work." The servant nodded and then turned around to leave.
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "We still can't avoid this banquet. It's better to eat at home."
Megan smiled and said, "This banquet is different from other banquets. This banquet is held every year by the Calci Family, all the servants must participate. It will be held in the castle's plaza. There aren't many rules, everyone will just sit there and eat. It's the Calci Family's most popular banquet."
When Zhao Hai heard Megan, his eyes shone and he said, "That's good, that's good. Then we must prepare well today. Right, we bought a lot of things today, including a lot of snacks. Let's bring them to the plaza. Right, we need to inform Grandpa Gan."
Megan nodded and smiled, "Alright, we'll inform Grandpa Gan later. I think there's nobody here right now. Let's give the things we bought to Grandpa Green. Iron Mountain Fort needs these things for the festival, we don't need to make things difficult for Grandpa Green."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked around and smiled, "Then let's go. Blockhead, Rockhead, you don't need to come back with us. Make sure that Iron Mountain Fort is well taken care of." Blockhead and Rockhead nodded, then Zhao Hai led the group to their room. After closing the door, they entered the Space and returned to Iron Mountain Fort.
Iron Mountain Fort was about to celebrate God's Grace Day. Although the things here were very simple and crude, Zhao Hai could feel that the atmosphere in the fort was very lively. Regardless of whether the people were working or not, they were all busy cleaning the place, preparing new clothes for themselves and their families, and preparing delicious food. Everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Actually, this couldn't be blamed on them, the slaves here had never celebrated God's Grace Day before. Although they knew that God's Grace Day was on that day, their previous masters had said that God's grace wouldn't be given to slaves. Because of this, they could only watch others celebrate God's Grace Day. For them, God's Grace Day was no different than any other day.
Zhao Hai looked at the appearance of these people and became very happy. Then he found Green and gave him the things that he bought. He also gave Green a lot of seafood. Zhao Hai also gave Green a Blade Scale Whale. This thing was very big, Zhao Hai wanted Green and the others to eat it during God's Grace Day. Zhao Hai didn't say anything, he didn't say anything.
After giving everything to Green, Zhao Hai and the others returned to the Rustling Tree Courtyard. No matter what, they were still living in the Calci Family, this place was still very inconvenient.
After returning to the living room of the Rustling Tree Courtyard, Zhao Hai and the others sat down. Megan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Big Brother Hai, on God's Grace Day, will you be returning to Iron Mountain Fort?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "I'll definitely go back, but I'm afraid that there will be too many things to do on that day. Right, how do you spend God's Grace Day every year?"
Megan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, God's Grace Day is the most boring day. Grandfather and Father would go to the Imperial Palace to participate in a banquet and would only come back very late. We would also make some delicious food in our courtyard. After eating, we would light up the lanterns and then we would be free to move around."
Zhao Hai's eyes shone, "I didn't think that it would be like this. That's good, after we eat and light up the lanterns, we'll return to Iron Mountain Fort. What do you think?"
Laura nodded and said, "Alright, but Megan will definitely have a lot of things to do on that day. Can you spare some time?"
Megan nodded and said, "Rest assured, I'll certainly be able to. I want to go with Brother Hai to Iron Mountain Fort to participate in God's Grace Day. I want to see how they spend God's Grace Day."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I also want to see how they spend it. Among these people, besides Grandpa Green and the others, it would be the first time for them to experience God's Grace Day. Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it."
