When Laura said this, Zhao Hai and the others felt that what she said was true. Zhao Hai himself wasn't an ambitious person. If he didn't want the Space to level up as soon as possible, then he wouldn't have been able to reach this point.
At this time, voices could be heard from the courtyard. Zhao Hai had Megan open the door. When the group looked inside, they saw a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman. Beside the two were two young people around 20 years old.
Kristen was standing in front of the middle-aged man and woman. It seems like she was acting like a spoiled child. Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai immediately knew the identity of these two people. There was no need to ask, they were Kristen's parents.
Sure enough, when Kristen saw Zhao Hai and the others open the door, she immediately said something to the man and woman. The two turned their heads to look at Zhao Hai and then quickly walked over. The two simultaneously bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "We thank Patriarch Zhao Hai for saving my daughter's life. Please accept our respect."
Zhao Hai quickly returned the gesture and said, "I don't dare accept such a big gesture, I just happened to be here."
At this time, Juno also came out. When he saw Zhao Hai talking to Kristen's father, he smiled faintly and said, "Hong 'er, you've returned. Quickly invite Patriarch Zhao Hai to have a meal."
Kristen's father immediately complied, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Patriarch Hong, please come with me." Zhao Hai wasn't polite as he led Laura and the others to the dining hall. Zhao Hai didn't hesitate as he led Laura and the others to the dining hall.
Although Kristen's house wasn't a castle, their courtyard wasn't small. They had a dining room, but the decorations inside the dining room were far worse than those of Great Clans. The chairs and tables inside looked like they had been used for many years. Although it could be said that they were much better compared to commoners, they still couldn't compare to those of Nobles.
Juno was already waiting for Zhao Hai's family in the dining room. After inviting Zhao Hai's family to sit down, Juno's wife immediately served the prepared dishes.
Upon seeing these dishes, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile. The Hurricane Family was very interesting. They lived in a village and used ordinary old furniture. Moreover, the things they used to entertain their guests were the same as the ones used by the villagers.
Nowadays, when the nobles treat their guests to a meal, they would generally choose a good meal, the more expensive the better. However, the villagers were different. In the eyes of the villagers, only chicken, fish, and meat could be considered a good meal. And today, the Hurricane Family's dishes were also like this.
This was the first time that Laura and the others had eaten such a meal, so they were very curious. On the other hand, Zhao Hai wasn't too curious. On the contrary, he felt a sense of familiarity. When he was back on Earth, he had eaten such a meal a lot.
Since Juno kept urging them to eat, Zhao Hai didn't become polite. While eating, he chatted with Juno. The meal was very relaxing.
Zhao Hai discovered that the Hurricane Family was very easy to talk to. Moreover, when talking to them, they weren't like talking to other nobles. You don't need to think when talking to them, you don't need to be afraid that they would scheme against you. Moreover, they didn't have any intention of probing you, they were just chatting.
After eating, the group went to the living room and sat down. Kristen's mother served everyone some tea before she left with Kristen's grandmother and the others. Only Juno and Hong were left in the living room to look after Zhao Hai.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Hai looked at Juno and said, "Mister, I want to ask, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
The matter that Zhao Hai was talking about was naturally the attack on Kristen. He wanted to ask Juno how he planned to deal with it. If Juno didn't want to make a move, then there was no need for him to make a move against the Radiant Church. Otherwise, if the Hurricane Family didn't admit that it was the Radiant Church that attacked Kristen, then Zhao Hai wouldn't be able to do anything.
If the Hurricane Family wanted to deal with the Radiant Church, then Zhao Hai would be able to help. He would spread the news and make the people of the continent be wary of the Radiant Church.
When Juno heard Zhao Hai, his eyes lit up as he said, "Mister, are you talking about the attack on Kristen? I won't hide it from Mister, we definitely won't let this matter go. However, I think Mister should also understand that the Ocean Waves Dynasty is now under the control of the Radiant Church. Moreover, although the Radiant Church is being suppressed, their strength is still there. If we deal with them now, then I'm afraid that they would retaliate. That wouldn't be good. "
Zhao Hai nodded, he knew that what Juno said was true. Juno looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Therefore, I want to spread this news, so that everyone can be wary of the Radiant Church. I think that as long as the continent knows about this, they would certainly think of ways to deal with the Radiant Church."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "This is also good for Li Yang. Dealing with the Radiant Church isn't something that can be done in a short period of time. If we spread the news that Kristen's attack was related to the Radiant Church, then the people of the continent would certainly dread the Radiant Church. This would make it more difficult for them to deal with the Radiant Church in the future. Moreover, everyone would also suppress them. It wouldn't be long before the Radiant Church's influence would decline."
Juno nodded and said, "That's the only thing we can do right now. However, our Hurricane Family wouldn't let the Radiant Church off. Although our Hurricane Family stands aloof from worldly affairs, that doesn't mean that we can be bullied by anyone."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Mister should know that my Buda Clan and the Radiant Church have already reached a point of irreconcilable enmity. Therefore, if the Hurricane Family needs our help, then we would be very happy to help."
Juno laughed and said, "Alright, if our Hurricane Family really goes to war with the Radiant Church, then we would certainly ask the Buda Clan for help."
When Zhao Hai heard Juno, he couldn't help but rejoice. This meant that Juno was treating them as allies. Having an ally like the Hurricane Family was definitely a good thing for the Buda Clan.
However, Zhao Hai could also see that Juno didn't want to form an alliance with them. But since he said so, Zhao Hai was already very happy. No matter what, having a potential ally was always good.
In the next few days, Zhao Hai and the others stayed in Juno's home. The villagers woke up early every day, and Zhao Hai and the others didn't wake up late. However, they were still a bit late compared to the villagers.
Moreover, in these past few days, Zhao Hai also understood that the Hurricane Family's actions weren't done deliberately. This was because Zhao Hai personally went to Juno's family's fields and saw that Bamboo Rice was growing very well. Moreover, it can be seen that the place had been carefully taken care of. The villagers who were farming not far from the Hurricane Family would greet Juno, it was obvious that Juno often came here.
After observing for a few days, Zhao Hai discovered that although the Hurricane Family seemed to be a very loose family, they actually couldn't be considered as a family, but rather as a large surname. The people in the family lived separately, but the Patriarch still existed and had a lot of authority. The other members of the family would also pay taxes to the Patriarch every year. And all of this money would be taken out and spent on the family.
Compared to the other families' Patriarchs, the Hurricane Family's Patriarch was more of a rallying force rather than an authoritative one.
However, if one were to say that the Hurricane Family was disbanded because of this, then one would be wrong. The Hurricane Family only had one faith, and that was the Wind God. Because of this, the people of the family were very united. Although they usually lived their own lives, once something happens to the family, they would immediately unite. They were even more united than other millennium-old families.
Zhao Hai stayed in Juno's home for five days. During these five days, he rarely stayed at home during the day. Most of the time, he would go to the surrounding mountains to look at the Bamboo Rice and Oil Fruits. He would also chat with the villagers, making him know a lot of people in the village.
With regards to Zhao Hai's behavior, Juno was very surprised. Juno had heard about Zhao Hai's previous reputation. He was a hedonistic young master since he was young. But when the family suffered a disaster, he suddenly had a fortuitous encounter and became the Buda Clan of today.
Because of this, Juno thought that Zhao Hai wouldn't be accustomed to living in the village. He grew up in a big city and only spent a year or so outside. And in this year or so, he spent most of his time doing business in the city. He didn't have any experience of living in the countryside. How could he get used to living in a village where the sun rises and the sun sets?
However, Zhao Hai was already used to it. Moreover, it seems like he was living a good life. This made Juno very confused. What made Juno the most confused was Laura and the others.
Juno was very clear about the status of Laura and the others. It can be said that these women were blessed by the heavens. They lived like princesses since they were young. Compared to their previous living environment, the conditions of the Hurricane Family's village were very simple.
However, Laura and the others' behavior in the past few days was very normal. They also worked in the fields. They didn't seem to be curious about the Bamboo Rice and Oil Fruits. On the contrary, they were very clear about the growth characteristics of the Bamboo Rice and Oil Fruits. This made Juno surprised.
Although he was surprised by Zhao Hai's behavior, Juno didn't think about asking Zhao Hai anything. He also didn't think about probing Zhao Hai. In the past few days, Juno didn't talk to Zhao Hai about the Dwarves. He also didn't ask about the Buda Clan or the Radiant Church. He just chatted with Zhao Hai about his daily life. This made Zhao Hai feel very comfortable.
In a blink of an eye, five days passed by. On this morning, Zhao Hai and the others woke up early. After freshening up, they went to the dining hall to have breakfast. Breakfast in the countryside was very simple. Now that they were familiar with Juno's family, they didn't need to be polite.
Juno and the others were already inside the dining hall. After the group sat down, Juno smiled and said to Zhao Hai, "Zhao Hai, you should also pack up. We're going to head to Dwarf Mountain today."
Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Alright, there's nothing to pack up. We can leave at any time." To be honest, Zhao Hai didn't want to leave. This small village was too comfortable. The five days that he lived here were the most comfortable time he had in the past year. It was as if he was able to let go of everything and take a good vacation. He didn't want to leave.
And now, the vacation was over.
