Evan had his own pride, this was something that Zhao Hai understood. He himself was a proud person, so if Evan didn't leave, then he wouldn't say anything. What he could do now was to take care of Ryan and the others.
Evan saw that Zhao Hai didn't say anything, he knew that Zhao Hai understood what he meant. Evan turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, I have something to ask of you, I hope that you can agree to it."
Zhao Hai looked at Evan's appearance and couldn't help but sigh. He could roughly guess what Evan wanted, but for Zhao Hai, this request was quite difficult.
Evan looked at Zhao Hai's frown and didn't immediately agree. He couldn't help but sigh, then he said, "Little Hai, uncle is begging you for this matter. You must agree, this is the last thing uncle will ask of you." Zhao Hai nodded.
Zhao Hai also knew that Evan wouldn't be able to survive this time. Even if he didn't die in the hands of the Beastmen, he would still die in the hands of the Radiant Church. The people of the Radiant Church were very clear about Evan's relationship with him. The Radiant Church might let go of some insignificant people of the Purcell Family, but they definitely wouldn't let go of Evan. First, Evan had a good relationship with Zhao Hai. Secondly, Evan was the Patriarch of the Purcell Family. Moreover, he had a bad impression of the Radiant Church. With Evan here, the Radiant Church's control over the Purcell Family would be very disadvantageous.
Zhao Hai sighed in his heart, but he still turned to Evan and said, "Uncle, I'm listening."
Evan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "You should have guessed it, my request is for you to marry Ryan. Little Hai, I want you to marry Ryan not only for her, but also for the entire Purcell Family. After this matter, the Purcell Family will decline. Those people are too young, if you don't have a status, then you won't be able to control them. I will pass the Patriarch's position to Ryan. As long as you marry Ryan, those people will listen to you. I believe that under your leadership, the Purcell Family will become better."
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly, he knew that this would be the case. When Evan said that he had something to ask of him, he knew that it would be this matter. He had an engagement with Ryan before, but when the Buda Clan fell, Ryan broke off the engagement. And with Ryan's reputation, whether it was love or reason, Zhao Hai had no reason to marry Ryan. Now, his status and Ryan's status were no longer on the same level.
However, Evan's request couldn't be ignored. Evan already had the heart to die, this time, he was doomed to die. And with Evan's help in the past, as well as his relationship with the Buda Clan, Zhao Hai had no choice but to consider Evan's request.
Evan looked at Zhao Hai's expression and thought that Zhao Hai wouldn't agree. He couldn't help but worry, Evan wasn't lying. In fact, he wanted Zhao Hai to marry Ryan in order to form an alliance. No matter what happens after the two get married, as long as this relationship exists, people in the continent would have to give the Purcell Family some face in the future.
And just like what he said, although the people who went with Ryan were elites, they were still too young. Young people were full of vigor, and with the Purcell Family's current situation, they were in a panic. Even if he passed the Patriarch's position to Ryan, Ryan's prestige wouldn't be enough to suppress these people. But if it was Zhao Hai, then it would be a different story.
What was Zhao Hai's status? He was the Buda Clan's Patriarch, the son-in-law of the Calci Family, the Emperor's son-in-law of the Rosen Empire, the Lord of Golden Island, and one of the most powerful Patriarchs in the continent. With these statuses, he would certainly be able to shake the situation. As long as these people were tied to him, then the Purcell Family would still have hope.
Actually, what Zhao Hai did, there was another person who could do it, and that was Origin Sword Saint. He was a 9th rank expert, as long as he appeared, these people would certainly be obedient.
However, Origin Sword Saint didn't care too much about these things. His status didn't allow him to care about these things. In fact, Evan was still worried. Origin Sword Saint wasn't young, nobody knew how long he could live. If he died and the Purcell clan didn't have another 9th rank expert, then the Purcell clan would be finished. They would never be able to turn their situation around. But Evan was still worried about Origin Sword Saint.
If Ruyen and Zhao Hai got married, then the situation would be different. The Buda Clan had more than one 9th rank expert, this was something that everyone in the continent knew. As long as the Buda Clan didn't fall, even if Origin Sword Saint died, the Purcell Family would still have the backing of the Buda Clan, they wouldn't need to fear anything.
Zhao Hai thought for a while, when Evan was about to persuade him, he finally said, "Uncle Evan, I can't immediately agree to this matter. You should know that my marriage has been dissolved, I need to discuss it with Laura and the others as well as Grandpa Green. Like you said, I don't represent myself, I represent the entire Buda Clan."
When Evan heard Zhao Hai, although he was disappointed, he also knew that he couldn't force Zhao Hai, otherwise, the Purcell Family would be finished.
Evan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. Now that Ruyen and the others are ready, you can pick them up at any time."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I can do it now. In fact, I have prepared a spatial magic that can send them to Golden Island in the shortest time possible. This is also the reason why you couldn't find me in Casa City, but I can appear in Casa City at any time."
Evan nodded, he had already guessed this point, but now it was confirmed. He said, "When they arrive at Golden Island, you need to take care of them. I've already handed over most of the Purcell Family's funds to Ruyen, I hope that they can live a better life."
Zhao Hai nodded, he didn't say anything else and just stood up. Evan also stood up and the two silently walked outside. Before long, the two arrived at a relatively independent courtyard. This courtyard was located at the back of the Grand Duke's Mansion, it was very remote, but the courtyard was heavily guarded.
After entering the courtyard, Zhao Hai saw Ruyen. Ruyen was standing in the courtyard, looking at the city walls. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Zhao Hai could see a trace of sadness in Ruyen's eyes.
When she heard footsteps, Ruyen immediately turned her head and saw Evan and Zhao Hai. Ruyen's eyes flashed with a trace of unnaturalness.
Evan, her father. She used to look down on him, thinking that he was incompetent. However, he took advantage of an opportunity and turned his hand to become the Patriarch. Moreover, when she was at her lowest, he didn't give up on her. Now, he entrusted her with an important task.
Zhao Hai, this playboy who changed his name, was also one of the people she looked down on the most. Because of this, she didn't hesitate to break off the engagement. In order to break off the engagement, she didn't hesitate to use her reputation as a stake. In the end, she succeeded. However, Zhao Hai was now the most powerful Patriarch in the continent. His wives were more beautiful than the other, and their statuses were more noble than the other.
Ruyen had completely lost her confidence in her vision. However, she believed that her choice this time wasn't wrong. Only by cooperating with the Buda Clan would the Purcell Family be able to survive. Relying on the Radiant Church wouldn't have a good result.
Ruyen also greeted Evan and Zhao Hai, "I have seen Father, I have seen Marquis Zhao Hai."
Evan nodded, Zhao Hai also returned the greeting, "Princess Ruyen is too polite. Today, I came to pick you up." Ruyen nodded, then immediately shouted, "Assemble!"
Before long, the youths of the Purcell Family came out of the courtyard. They weren't very old, the oldest looked to be around 30 years old while the youngest looked to be 10 years old. The total number of youths was less than 100. It can be said that they were the hope of the Purcell Family's new generation.
When these youths came out, they had a trace of reluctance on their faces. But when they saw Evan, their reluctance immediately disappeared and they all stood there obediently.
Evan looked at them and said, "You are all elites of the family, so you should know the family's current situation. I don't want to say anything more. Today, you will follow Zhao Hai to Golden Island. If something happens here, then you will be the last hope of the Purcell Family. If the family survives this crisis, then you will develop in Golden Island. You will add another source of wealth to the family. At the same time, this will also be a training for you. Do you understand?"
Everyone loudly replied, "We understand, Patriarch!"
Evan nodded, "This time, you will be led by Ruyen. When you arrive at Golden Island, you will need to listen to Ruyen as well as Patriarch Zhao Hai. If the family survives this crisis, then you will quickly return here. If the family doesn't survive this crisis, then Ruyen will become the Patriarch of the Purcell Family. You must listen to her."
These people couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't think that Evan would suddenly say this today. Most importantly, Evan actually wanted to pass the Patriarch's position to Ruyen. This made them even more puzzled.
Evan looked at them and coldly snorted, "Don't think that this is my decision. This is the result of the Elders' agreement. Do you think that I'm deceiving you?"
These people's complexion changed, they quickly bowed and said, "We don't dare."
Evan nodded and said, "Alright, Ruyen, take the scepter." Then Evan took out the scepter from his clothes. This scepter was the Patriarch's scepter of the Purcell Family.
Ruyen took the scepter with a straight face. Evan turned to the others and said, "Remember, you are the hope of the Purcell Family. If something happens to the family, then you will shoulder the responsibility of reviving the Purcell Family. I don't have any other requests for you, I only have one. You must be united. If you are united, then you will be able to accomplish more. Do you understand?"
Everyone replied in unison, "We understand."
Evan then said, "Alright, then follow the Zhao Hai Family. Remember, no matter what you see, don't be surprised. Don't say anything. If you dare to say anything, then Ruyen, you have the right to use your authority as the Patriarch to punish you for the crime of betraying the family."
Betraying the family was a serious crime, it was punishable by death. Therefore, when they heard Evan, everyone was startled. They paid more attention to what was going to happen next.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared beside Evan. Everyone, including Evan, bowed to this figure and said, "We have seen the God Consecrator."
Origin Sword Saint nodded, then he turned to Evan and said, "I'll leave the family's matters to you. Remember, even if you die in battle, don't lose the Purcell Family's face. You don't have to worry about them, I'll take care of them."
Evan nodded and said, "Yes, Elder God. Please rest assured."
Origin Sword Saint turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Patriarch Zhao Hai, I'll have to trouble you this time."
Zhao Hai was very respectful towards this old man, he gave a slight bow and said, "Sir Origin Sword Saint is too polite." Then he took out his Magic Staff and softly chanted an incantation. After a while, the Magic Staff in his hand gently waved as a spatial rift appeared in front of him. Then Zhao Hai turned to Ruyen and the others and said, "Everyone, line up and enter this space one by one. You'll find yourself surrounded by a dark mist, but don't worry, don't move. Soon, another spatial rift will appear. When the time comes, you'll be able to leave through it."
These people stared blankly at the spatial rift. Although they had heard about Space Magic, they had never seen it before. Now that a spatial rift suddenly appeared in front of them, they couldn't adapt to it.
Origin Sword Saint didn't think much about it, he lifted his leg and went in. When he went in, the others also reacted and followed him one by one. The last one was Ruyen.
After Ruyen went in, Zhao Hai turned to Evan and gave him a bow. He didn't say anything as he directly entered the spatial rift. Looking at the spatial rift, Evan's heart couldn't help but feel strange.
The people inside the Space also felt strange, they curiously looked around. They discovered that they were inside a dark mist, but they could still see their companions. This made the uneasiness in their hearts disappear a little.
At this time, the one who was most surprised was Origin Sword Saint. Don't forget that 9th ranks can use their spiritual force to observe their surroundings. Because of this, when he arrived in this space, he also used his spiritual force to observe his surroundings.
However, he discovered that his spiritual force couldn't reach the outside of the dark mist. It was as if he was standing in an independent space. He hadn't encountered this situation before, so he was very surprised.
At this time, another spatial rift suddenly appeared in front of them. Then they heard Zhao Hai's voice coming from outside the rift, "Everyone come out one by one. Don't be anxious, don't push."
Origin Sword Saint didn't care about this, he lifted his leg and walked out. The others also walked out one by one. When they arrived outside, they couldn't help but stare. This was because they weren't on Golden Island, they weren't even on land. They were currently in the sea, on a five-masted ship.
