Although the Buda Clan's influence in the continent was very strong due to Zhao Hai and the Space's efforts, when it came to connections, the Buda Clan couldn't even compare to some small nobles. There was no other way, their foundation was too thin.
At this time, the Buda Clan had some connections, such as the Calci Family, the Crook Family, the Rosen Imperial Family, the Shelley Family, the Purcell Family, and the Iksa Family.
But one must know that these families were very powerful. Even the Iksa Family was a Duke. Although they didn't become a Grand Duke and established their own Duchy, they were still considered an old Noble in the Aksu Empire. They had their own circle of influence and connections. Zhao Hai couldn't get a lot of help from them.
Because of this, Zhao Hai wanted to establish his own circle of influence. Milton and the others gave Zhao Hai this opportunity.
Any Great Clan in the continent would have their own circle of influence. This circle of influence was a network that they weaved for many years. The Buda Clan didn't have such a network in the past, and Zhao Hai had just started to weave it.
Because of this, Zhao Hai attached great importance to Milton and the others. No matter what, these people were the first group of people to rely on the Buda Clan. If he could help them, he would do his best to help them.
In the next few days, all the Human Merchants who participated in Zhao Hai's banquet transported their goods to Magic Lily Shop. At the same time, Zhao Hai also took out the anonymous crystal cards and gave them to the Human Merchants.
Those human merchants knew that if they drove magic beasts or gold and silver back to the human territory, they would definitely lose a lot of money. However, it was different if they had anonymous crystal cards. As long as they put these crystal cards in their pockets, they could say that they had lost money, and nobody would know about it.
These merchants were very grateful to Zhao Hai. If it wasn't for Zhao Hai, then they would have lost everything. But now that the situation in Beast God City was getting more and more tense, they couldn't stay here any longer. After delivering the goods to Zhao Hai, they immediately left Beast God City.
When these merchants left, the entire Beast God City became a lot emptier. This made the other merchants even more afraid, they also prepared to leave.
The merchants that Zhao Hai invited had all been carefully investigated by him. Generally, these merchants were middle-class nobles without much background. Those who were related to Great Nobles or those who were related to the Radiant Church weren't invited by Zhao Hai.
When the Radiant Church carried out this plan, they didn't inform the Great Nobles. Because of this, the Great Nobles also didn't understand the situation. They also wanted to do business in the prairie.
At this time, there were still some merchants in the prairie who were related to the Radiant Church. However, these merchants were only a minority. They were all sent by the Radiant Church to monitor the situation of the Beastmen.
When Zhao Hai investigated these Nobles, he did it very carefully. He had Cai 'er investigate the background of these Nobles and their families. After confirming that they weren't related to the Great Nobles and the Radiant Church, Zhao Hai invited them. As long as there was a bit of suspicion, he wouldn't invite them.
But the number of merchants who relied on Zhao Hai wasn't small. Most of their shops were located outside of Beast God City, in the bad locations. When they left, the remaining merchants panicked. With the atmosphere in Beast God City becoming more and more tense, more and more Beastmen appeared in the city. Moreover, the gazes of these Beastmen became more and more unfriendly. A lot of merchants began to retreat, especially the Great Nobles. They could afford to lose, so some of them were already prepared to run away.
Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He had Ah Tai contact these people. He wanted to buy the things that these people brought. Naturally, the price wouldn't be the same as Milton and the others.
These merchants knew that Zhao Hai was trying to rob them. However, they had no choice but to agree. If they agreed with Zhao Hai, then they would at least be able to recover some of their costs. If they didn't, then they would lose everything.
Moreover, Zhao Hai used an anonymous crystal card to pay. This method wasn't unusual in the Human Continent, but it was very rare in the Beastman Prairie. Especially at this time, it was very attractive to these merchants.
The merchants who came to the Beastman Prairie to do business weren't fools. Naturally, they understood that bringing a crystal card back was more cost-effective than bringing a Magic Beast back. Because of this, after Milton and the others left, Zhao Hai's business became better. More and more Human merchants wanted to sell their goods to Zhao Hai.
The price of these goods was even lower than in the Human Continent. Zhao Hai had a lot of spare money in his hands, so naturally, he would take them all.
Finally, a month after Zhao Hai arrived in Beast God City, the Beastmen issued an eviction order. They ordered all the Human merchants to leave Beast God City within three days. Otherwise, they wouldn't be polite.
When this order was issued, the Human merchants knew that they were done for. Before, they didn't want to sell their goods to Zhao Hai. But now, they became anxious and immediately sold their goods to Zhao Hai at a low price. Then they took the money and ran away.
The Beastmen in Beast God City also saw Zhao Hai's actions, but they didn't say anything. To be honest, these Beastmen didn't hate the Human merchants who came to the Prairie to do business. Because of this, they didn't touch their goods after they left.
At the same time, the three flags in Zhao Hai's tent made the Beastmen very surprised. This was the first time that they saw a Human take out the Beastman King's Flag and the Friendship Flag.
Three days later, besides Zhao Hai's group, there were no other Humans left in Beast God City. The Beastmen were now looking at Zhao Hai's group with strange expressions, it was as if they were looking at a monster.
Zhao Hai didn't care. The reason why he stayed here was to see if Wales and the Black Bear Patriarch would come to Beast God City.
Wales didn't make Zhao Hai wait for too long. Ten days after all the Humans left Beast God City, the Black Bear Patriarch arrived first.
When Zhao Hai heard that the Black Bear Patriarch had arrived, he immediately went to the city's gate to greet him. When Zhao Hai arrived at the gate, he saw a group of cavalry coming from afar. When Zhao Hai looked at them, he could see that they were all Black Bear Cavalry. There were about 30 thousand of them. Looking at the black mass of cavalry that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel a sense of invincibility.
However, this cavalry didn't head towards the Beastman God City. Instead, they stopped when they were about five li away from the Beast God City's gate. Only about a hundred of them headed towards the Beast God City. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the city's gate.
Zhao Hai saw the Black Bear Patriarch as well as Lieben beside him. Lieben was currently holding a banner in his hand, it was the Black Bear Tribe's war flag.
Zhao Hai stood there quietly while the Black Bear Cavalry slowed down. Before long, the Black Bear Patriarch and the others arrived at Beast God City's gate. Zhao Hai immediately went forward and bowed to the Black Bear Patriarch, "Zhao Hai has seen the Patriarch."
The Black Bear Patriarch jumped down from his mount and opened his arms as he laughed and walked towards Zhao Hai. Then he hugged Zhao Hai and said, "I knew that you wouldn't leave. Hahaha, you really didn't leave. Good, after I'm done with my business, I'll look for you for a drink." Then the Black Bear Patriarch hugged Zhao Hai tightly before releasing him.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll prepare some food and wine to welcome the Patriarch."
The Black Bear Patriarch nodded and said, "Alright, Little Hai, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. Wait for me at home." Then the Black Bear Patriarch jumped onto his mount and headed towards the city. Zhao Hai then led Ah Tai to the Magic Lily Shop.
Ah Tai looked at Zhao Hai in shock. He had been in contact with the Beastmen for a long time, but he had never seen a Beastman treat a Human this warmly. Beastmen were very hospitable, but most large Beastmen had been in contact with Humans for a long time. They had also learned some of the Human ways. For example, if you want to do business with a large Beastman tribe, you would have to pay for your own things. Don't expect the Beastmen to take the initiative to invite you.
At the same time, the Black Bear Tribe was also a large Warring Tribe. They had been in contact with Humans for a long time. Additionally, they had been deceived by Humans. Therefore, they were more hostile to Humans compared to other Beastmen. It was impossible for them to treat Humans this warmly.
Ah Tai had also heard from a merchant who had done business with the Black Bear Tribe in Beast God City. When they were doing business with the Black Bear Tribe, the Black Bear Tribe would always guard against them as if they were thieves. Moreover, they would also restrict their freedom. Today, the Black Bear Patriarch actually took the initiative to hug Zhao Hai and even asked for a drink with Zhao Hai.
At this point, Ah Tai believed that the banners in Zhao Hai's hands weren't ordinary. No wonder the Beastmen drove away all the Human merchants these past few days. However, nobody came to Magic Lily Shop to cause trouble. There were even a lot of Beastmen who took the initiative to greet Zhao Hai. Their expressions were also very warm.
Zhao Hai and Ah Tai returned to the shop. Zhao Hai immediately had Laura and the others prepare some food and drinks. At the same time, Zhao Hai took out some seafood for Laura and the others to prepare. If the Black Bear Patriarch really came, then Zhao Hai would have to entertain him well.
Ah Tai and the others were now accustomed to Zhao Hai's mystical ways. Therefore, they also prepared things according to Zhao Hai's instructions while waiting for the Black Bear Patriarch's arrival.
While they were preparing, a loud noise could be heard from outside. Zhao Hai went out and saw the Black Bear Tribe. The Black Bear Patriarch, along with ten guards and Lieben, had arrived outside Magic Lily Shop.
Zhao Hai invited the Black Bear Patriarch and Lieben to the backyard of the shop. Then Ah Tai's son immediately gave them hot milk tea.
The Black Bear Patriarch took a sip of the milk tea, then he smiled at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, you seem to be living a comfortable life right now. I heard that you bought some things from the Merchants. Why? Are you planning to sell them at a high price and make a big profit? "
