Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. Right now, the Aksu Empire is under the control of the Radiant Church. I suspect that the Purcell Duchy is also being monitored by the Radiant Church. If that's the case, then it's very likely that we'll be discovered by them. I think we should just forget about it."
Kun knit his brows and said, "Then what do we do? Right now, whether it's Golden Island or the Black Wasteland, we need people. If we miss this opportunity, then where will we find people? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Grandpa Kun, don't forget that the war is coming. When the war starts, besides the deaths of a lot of people, there will also be a lot of slaves. The price of these slaves won't be too expensive since they haven't been trained. We can buy them. Also, I can turn the dead into undead and have them work in the Black Wasteland. This way, we can save a lot of manpower."
Kun sighed and said, "It seems like this is the only way. You ordered 100 thousand slaves before, but now that the situation in the continent is very tense, I don't think that the slave merchant will send people over so quickly."
Zhao Hai nodded, "There's no need to worry about it now. After the war is over, Brother Wales will send me 100 thousand slaves. Moreover, I can also exchange them with other beastmen for some half blood beastmen slaves. With these slaves, I don't think the manpower in the Black Wasteland will be a problem."
Kun nodded and said, "I hope so. Right, Zhao Hai, two days ago, a slave came looking for me. He wants to open a shop on the island, what do you think?"
Kun knew that Zhao Hai didn't have a good impression of slave merchants, so he asked this question. Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "I agree. In any case, even if they don't open a shop here, they would still buy slaves. Let them open a shop here, it would be more convenient for us to buy slaves later."
Kun nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll approve it. What do you plan to do next? Do you want to stay at home or go to the Purcell Duchy to take a look? "
Zhao Hai replied, "There aren't too many things happening in the Duchy right now, so I don't need to stay here. However, I still need to pay attention to the Purcell Duchy. The Purcell Family has already prepared their God to bring some of the family's young elites to Golden Island. At the same time, I want to see what will happen in the Purcell Duchy. I also want to understand the Radiant Church's methods. The Radiant Church is our biggest enemy, so we have to pay attention to them."
Kun nodded, he also thought that Zhao Hai's decision was correct. However, he still frowned and said, "I think it's better for you to monitor the situation inside the Space. Don't go to the Purcell Duchy and participate in the war between the Humans and the Beastmen. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for us to do business with the Beastmen in the future."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Not only do I not want to help the Humans, I also want to help the Beastmen. The Aksu Empire is now under the control of the Radiant Church. The Radiant Church wouldn't just sit back and watch their territory being destroyed by the Beastmen. They would certainly take action. I don't want the Beastmen to lose too much. The Beastmen are very vengeful, if they lose too much, I'm afraid they would start a war every year. Moreover, I can't let the Radiant Church be too glorious."
Kun frowned, then he finally sighed and didn't say anything. To be honest, as a native of the Ark Continent, Kun didn't approve of Zhao Hai's approach. Zhao Hai's action was tantamount to helping a foreign race deal with his own people. Kun didn't approve of this.
However, he had to recognize that the Buda Clan's biggest enemy was the Radiant Church. And Zhao Hai's relationship with the Beastmen was very good. Considering the Buda Clan's future, Zhao Hai helping the Beastmen was understandable.
Zhao Hai was also aware of Kun's thoughts. But in Zhao Hai's eyes, the Beastmen were much more lovable than the Humans. This wasn't Earth, Zhao Hai didn't care about his own race. In his mind, his true race was the Chinese back on Earth. The Humans of the Ark Continent were just another intelligent race in the continent. Because of this, he didn't feel any pressure in helping the Beastmen deal with the Humans.
Zhao Hai didn't continue with this topic, he turned to Kun and said, "Grandpa Kun, after the Calci Family and the Rosen Empire spread the news about the Iksa Family, you should immediately use the Markey Family to spread the news. We need to make sure that everyone in the continent knows about it as soon as possible."
Kun nodded, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. Right, Little Hai, you should look for people from the Shelley Family. The Shelley Family is the continent's largest hotel chain. Their information network is spread all over the continent. Even if they were suppressed by the Radiant Church, their family should still be able to spread the news. It would be much easier to get them to spread the news." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter.
Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go look for the Shelley Hotel." Currently, there was a Shelley Hotel on Golden Island. Moreover, the hotel was the tallest building on the island, it was also the top hotel. Naturally, its business was also very good.
Most importantly, Zhao Hai knew the person in charge of the hotel, it was Marriott, the person in charge of Sky Water City's Shelley Hotel. Ever since the opening of Golden Island, Marriott came here and became the person in charge of the hotel.
These years, Zhao Hai's business with the Shelley Hotel had never stopped. Fire fish, vegetables, and milk wine had become one of the Shelley Hotel's specialties. Because of this, the Shelley Hotel was very supportive of Zhao Hai.
Although the Radiant Church was currently suppressing the Shelley Hotel, it didn't affect the hotel too much. In the past few years, the Shelley Hotel had business dealings with a lot of Great Clans and Imperial Clans. They used money and benefits to weave a big net, so they weren't afraid of the Radiant Church's attack.
And with the support of the Haven products, the Shelley Hotel's business was very good compared to before. The suppression of the Radiant Church was nothing to them.
The reason why Grand Duke Lionheart was able to gain the upper hand in dealing with the Shelley Hotel was because he was in the Rosen Empire. Moreover, he had the support of the Imperial Family. Otherwise, the Shelley Family would have already dealt with Lionheart.
The Shelley Family was also very good at doing business. In this aspect, they were much better than the Markey Family. The reason why the Markey Family was able to develop so fast was because they used the same method as the Markey Family's mother. They married into a merchant family and then controlled the family through cooperation. Finally, they killed some of the family's heirs. This way, the Markey Family's property would naturally belong to the Markey Family. It can be said that compared to the Shelley Family, the Markey Family was an upstart who got rich through disgraceful means. Compared to the Shelley Family, the Markey Family's background was far worse.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai was able to destroy the Markey Family in one fell swoop. However, it was impossible for him to destroy the Shelley Family in one fell swoop.
After so many years of development, nobody knew how many members the Shelley Family had. How many experts did they have? Nobody knew, they only knew that a lot of people in the continent had received grace from the Shelley Family. If someone wanted to deal with the Shelley Family, then the Shelley Family would be able to invite countless experts to deal with the enemy.
The reason for this was because of the Shelley Family's rule. No matter who entered the hotel, the Shelley Family would guarantee the safety of that person. When that person leaves the hotel, the Shelley Family wouldn't care.
This rule didn't seem like a big deal. But if a person offended someone and was chased all over the world, then they would have nowhere else to go and enter the Shelley Hotel. The Shelley Family would give them a way out and they would try to find a way to escape. This person would naturally be grateful to the Shelley Family.
If this person was just an average person, then they wouldn't be able to help much. But what if this person was an expert? What if this person became a character later on? If they wanted to repay the Shelley Hotel, then the hotel would naturally have a lot of people who could help them. Moreover, the Shelley Family was very good at handling people. Even if these people wanted to repay the Shelley Family, the Shelley Family wouldn't agree. Instead, they would use their own strength to cooperate with these people, making them even more powerful. This way, although the Shelley Family only had a small amount of strength on the surface, nobody could tell how big their background was.
Another reason why the Shelley Family didn't fall for so many years was because they were very low-key. They generally didn't participate in any struggles. Because of this, they didn't have too many enemies. Instead, they had friends all over the place. Because of this, nobody would embarrass them.
Zhao Hai rode his carriage to the Shelley Hotel. Although it was already night time, the hotel was still brightly lit. It was very lively, it had become a landmark of Golden Island.
Zhao Hai's carriage was used by the island's people to handle matters. It wasn't very luxurious, compared to the other carriages of the island's businessmen, it was a bit worse.
Zhao Hai arrived at the hotel's entrance and got down from the carriage. Shun was at his side, Shue stayed at the naval base, Laura and the others also didn't follow.
When Zhao Hai's carriage stopped, a waiter immediately came over and bowed to Zhao Hai, "Welcome Mister, please come with me." Zhao Hai nodded and then walked towards the hotel.
When they arrived at the hotel, they saw a lot of people in the lobby. These people were chatting in twos and threes. After the waiter invited Zhao Hai inside, he immediately asked Zhao Hai, "Does Mister want to book a room or have a meal?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I'm here to see Manager Marriott, is he here?"
The waiter stared, one must know that Marriott was an influential person on the island. The relationship between the Shelley Family and the Buda Clan was very good, the island also took good care of the Shelley Family. There were a lot of merchants who wanted to ask Marriott to speak a few words to Zhao Hai in order to get closer to Zhao Hai.
However, Marriott was a very principled person. He didn't want to help those merchants. Therefore, during this period of time, he closed his door and declined all visitors. Ordinary people simply couldn't see him. If they wanted to see him, they would need to make an appointment.
The waiter didn't know Zhao Hai, so when he heard that he wanted to see Marriott, he couldn't help but stare. This was because everyone in the hotel knew that if they wanted to see Marriott, they needed to make an appointment in the secretariat. Directly telling the waiter was useless.
However, the waiter immediately responded, "Mister, the manager is very busy. If you want to see him, you need to make an appointment in the secretariat. If you don't have an appointment, then it would be very difficult to see the manager."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Right, he's very busy. It doesn't matter, just tell him that Zhao Hai wants to see him. I'm sure he'll come and see me."
When Zhao Hai's words came out, not only the waiter, but also the entire Shelley Hotel's lobby turned silent. If it was said that there were people in Golden Island who didn't know who the Rosen Emperor was, then there would certainly be people who didn't know who Zhao Hai was.
Therefore, everyone in the hotel knew who Zhao Hai was. When they heard Zhao Hai's name, they couldn't help but look at Zhao Hai in awe. The waiter was very excited, he quickly said, "Alright, I'll immediately call the manager." Then he ran towards the room.
After the waiter ran away, the people in the lobby buzzed. Some people wanted to clean up with Zhao Hai, but they were afraid of being impolite. Therefore, these people surrounded Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at these people, then he turned his head and gave a slight bow, "Everyone is busy. Today, I have something to discuss with Manager Marriott. I'll treat everyone to a meal on that day."
The nobles quickly returned the salute, they didn't dare. At this time, Marriott came out of the room and quickly arrived in front of Zhao Hai. Then he gave a bow to Zhao Hai and said, "Sir Marquis has arrived, I apologize for not going out to meet you."
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Brother Marriott, you're too polite. What kind of relationship do we have? Is there a need to be so polite? Let's go, treat me to a cup of tea, I'm already drunk. "
Marriott smiled and said, "Alright, please." Then he led Zhao Hai into the room.
When Zhao Hai entered the room, a nobleman next to him said, "This is Zhao Hai Buda? The Buda Clan's Patriarch? He doesn't look like it. I heard that he's a Killing God, why is he so easy-going? "
His friend smiled and said, "You don't know, but I heard that this Zhao Hai Clan is very special. He's only ruthless to his enemies, but to his friends, he's very kind. Just look at Marriott, he's just a manager of Shelley Hotel. Because he knew Marquis Zhao Hai before, Zhao Hai was very polite to him."
The nobleman nodded, then he said with a face full of regret, "Why didn't I get to know Marquis Zhao Hai before he became rich? Otherwise, I would've become rich by now."
His friend smiled and said, "Stop dreaming …"
