Why isn't the collection rising? God, help me, I don't want to be forgotten!
Laura was restlessly walking back and forth in the study. For her, the news that Buffy had brought back was really bad news that couldn't get any worse.
She sympathized with the Buda clan, but Buffy hadn't been able to complete his task. For her, this was definitely bad news. It meant that the Purcell clan might have internal strife.
If it wasn't for this time, the Purcell clan would have been in chaos at any other time. But at this time, it was really a matter of life and death. This wasn't only related to the Purcell clan, it was also related to the thousands of civilian families in the Purcell Duchy.
Quinn John also frowned as he sat in the study. In this situation, he really didn't know what to do. They also wanted to intervene, but if they didn't do well, they would fall deeper and deeper into this whirlpool.
But the problem was that if they didn't participate, as long as there was a result, the first unlucky ones would be them. So they could only participate.
But participation and participation were different. When and how to participate was the most important. If the opportunity was right and the method was right, not only could they protect themselves, they could also obtain the greatest benefits.
At this time, a servant ran in from the outside. He bowed to Laura and said, "Young Lady, I just received news that the Xinya clan and several other large clans have taken action. However, they didn't raise the price of food. Instead, they sent people to contact the Second and Third Elders of the Purcell clan."
Laura frowned, then she waved her hand and said, "Go and continue investigating. If there are any new developments, immediately report to me." The servant complied, then he bowed and retreated.
Laura turned to Quinn John and said, "Grandpa Quinn John, what do the Xinya clan want to do? Could it be that they want to help Second Elder or Third Elder ascend to the position? "
Quinn John nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the case. If the Second Elder or the Third Elder really formed an alliance with them, then they can even give up on the food price increase. As long as they can support one of the two elders, then they can get the support of that elder. When the time comes, they can monopolize the entire Purcell Duchy's market. These guys are really good at scheming."
Laura frowned. "Then what should we do? We can't just wait like this, right? Wouldn't that be too bad for us? "
Kun Zhen's eyes flashed as he said, "Wait? Of course, we can't just wait like this. If we do that, we will only become more and more passive. In the end, we might even be squeezed out by them. Don't look at how we helped the Purcell clan with the food issue and expect them to be grateful to us. It's useless. Those guys won't care if you help them or not. As long as there are enough benefits, they will sell everything. What we need to do now is to contact a person from the Purcell clan and support him. Even if he can't take the position, he must have some say in the Purcell clan so that we can keep our business. "
Laura was surprised, "Who is it? I'm afraid that the Xinya clan has already made contact with the second and third elders. If we go now, it's already too late. "
Quinn John smiled faintly and said, "Don't forget, the Purcell clan still has another person. This person used to have authority, but in order to help the Buda clan, his authority was reduced. Isn't this a good opportunity?"
Laura was surprised. She immediately thought of who Quinn John was talking about. The Purcell clan's nominal patriarch, the Grand Duke of the Purcell Duchy, Evan.
In the past, Evan's authority wasn't much worse than that of the first elder. However, because he was young, he didn't have much experience in political struggles. In addition, he had helped the Buda clan, so his authority was reduced by the first elder. In addition, during this time, he had been living in seclusion and didn't care about worldly affairs. He had completely turned into a wooden man, a decoration. This was why Laura didn't think of him at first.
Quinn John looked at Laura's appearance and smiled faintly. "Recently, Evan has been completely silent. People seem to have forgotten his existence. But isn't this where he's brilliant? Does he really have no power in his hands? No, although his power has been reduced a lot, it hasn't been completely taken over. He still has some power, but he has been too patient recently, so people have forgotten his existence. "
Laura thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be like this. Ever since the fall of the Buda clan, Evan has been very low-key. So low-key that people have forgotten about him, or even thought of him as a decoration. If he really has power in his hands, then we can help him. Maybe he can walk to the front again."
Quinn John smiled faintly and said, "That's exactly what I meant. Now, it's best for us to divide into two groups. Young Lady, you don't need to appear in front of Evan. It's too conspicuous and too big of a target. I'll handle it. You should go and see Mister Zhao Hai and explain the situation here to him. Let Mister Zhao Hai make preparations."
Laura nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go immediately. I'll leave Evan to Grandpa Quinn John." Then she led Nier out.
While all the great clans of Casa City were staring at the Purcell clan, people suddenly discovered that Laura was actually sitting in a carriage out of the city. Moreover, she was heading straight for Stony Mountain.
Laura's departure from the city made the great clans feel relieved. To be honest, they now had enmity with Laura, but they didn't dare to move against her. It wasn't only because Laura was a member of the Markey Dell clan, but also because behind her stood an unfathomable black magician.
The Purcell clan had sent people to deal with Zhao Hai. These great clans also knew that it was impossible to really hide a secret. It was precisely because they knew that these people felt that Zhao Hai was terrible.
Garan was a famous Level Eight expert on the continent. He was also a white magician who was the nemesis of black magicians. He also had many experts by his side. In this case, they were unexpectedly eliminated without a sound. Zhao Hai's strength was really too terrible.
They also knew about the relationship between Laura and Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai had saved Laura's life, and then Zhao Hai's products were sold by Laura. They had already formed an alliance. In this case, offending Laura was equivalent to offending Zhao Hai. And Zhao Hai was a black magician that they didn't want to provoke.
These people thought that Laura was going to look for Zhao to tell him about the current situation in Casa City. They weren't worried about this at all, as long as it didn't hinder their plans, then everything would be fine.
This time, Laura not only told Zhao Hai about the situation in Casa City, but also attracted the attention of the great clans, making it easier for Quinn John to get close to Zhao Hai.
This time, Laura's movements were faster than before. It took less than half a day to reach the foot of Stony Mountain. Zhao Hai also received the news, so when Laura arrived at the foot of the mountain, Green immediately brought her to the top of the mountain.
After Zhao Hai brought Laura to the living room and sat down, he wasn't polite. He directly said, "Miss Laura, this time you came because of the Purcell clan's matter, right? I heard that the Purcell clan seems to be in a bit of trouble right now. "
Laura had already experienced Zhao Hai's ability to gather information, so she wasn't surprised. She just smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not a small trouble, but a big one."
This made Zhao Hai stare. He didn't know much about the Purcell clan's inside story. Even Green and Merine didn't know about it.
Zhao Hai was puzzled. "Isn't it just breaking off an engagement, and then not being able to kill someone? What kind of trouble is there? "
Laura smiled bitterly. "If it's really like what Mister said, then it would be good. Mister doesn't know, but the Purcell clan may be in internal strife this time."
Zhao Hai frowned. "Is that so? Tell me more about it. "
Laura nodded. "Originally, the Purcell clan's Patriarch had the most power, followed by the clan's Elder Council. The purpose of the Elder Council's existence is to supervise the Patriarch. If the Patriarch makes a big mistake, the Elder Council has the power to impeach the Patriarch. But now, the Purcell clan's Patriarch, Grand Duke Evan, doesn't have much power. When Evan became the Patriarch, he was still very young. Their Elder Council's Great Elder, Caesar, has been in the Purcell clan for many years, and his influence is very strong. Evan didn't have much experience, so Caesar took the opportunity to reduce his power. Later, I heard that Grand Duke Evan had a friendship with the Buda clan. When the Buda clan was in trouble, Evan secretly helped the Buda clan. Because of this matter, his power was once again reduced. Now, he doesn't have much power. The Purcell clan's power is concentrated in the hands of the three Elders of the Elder Council. Among them, Great Elder Caesar has the most power. Second Elder Youyin and Third Elder Sayers are a bit weaker." Laura paused and looked at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai's face was hidden under his magic robe, while Green's face was blocked by his armor. Naturally, she couldn't see, so naturally, she didn't discover that Zhao Hai and Green had shocked expressions.
In particular, Green had always hated Evan. This was because Evan had a friendship with Adam's father. Finally, when the Purcell clan was in trouble, the Purcell clan had hit them while they were down. He had thought that all of this had been instigated by Evan, but now he knew that Evan had actually paid such a big price to help them.
Laura saw that the two didn't speak, so she continued, "This time, the Buda clan's steward suddenly appeared in Casa City, wanting to break off the engagement with the Purcell clan. When Kaiser saw that the Buda clan's steward, Green, was already a peak Rank Eight expert, he was afraid that Green would break through to Rank Nine and retaliate against them. Therefore, he wanted to ask the clan's Guardian God, Buffy, to kill Green. However, he didn't expect that Green would be carrying an ancient magic tool, allowing Green to escape. Buffy then went to the Black Waste to chase after the Buda clan, but he couldn't find them. This made Kaiser very passive. You must know that the clan's Guardian God was a major event. This time, Kaiser was the one who advocated for it, but in the end, it didn't succeed. This was a big blow to Kaiser, and the other big firms in Casa City took this opportunity to take the initiative to contact You Yin and Sayers.
