Zhao Hai quietly listened to Laura's words. He didn't think that this matter would lead to such consequences. He was very clear that if the Purcell clan were to have internal strife at this time, then what would happen to the entire Purcell Duchy?
Zhao Hai hated the Purcell clan, but this didn't mean that he hated the entire Purcell Duchy. If he really hated the entire Purcell Duchy, then he wouldn't have used food to help the Purcell clan.
However, if the Purcell clan were to have internal strife, then everything they had done before would be in vain. Most importantly, this matter would certainly have an impact on Laura.
Zhao Hai couldn't let anything happen to Laura. Laura was now his only channel for selling space crops. If something happened to Laura, then he wouldn't have anyone he could trust to sell goods. For Zhao Hai, this would be a big blow. He needed money to develop the Black Waste.
Zhao Hai looked up at Laura and asked, "What about Buffy?"
Laura replied, "Wind Saint Buffy. I heard that this time, he wanted to go to the Carrion Swamp to take a look. However, I think he's met with misfortune. The Carrion Swamp isn't a good place to go."
Zhao Hai froze for a moment, then he couldn't help but smile. He really didn't think that Buffy would actually go to the Carrion Swamp. Fortunately, he hadn't let the slaves out of the space. Otherwise, when Buffy went to the Carrion Swamp, he might have found them.
Zhao Hai looked up at Laura and asked, "What does Miss Laura mean?"
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I came out this time mainly to inform Mister about this matter. I want Mister to be prepared. Also, Mister should pay attention to the people from the large firms. This time, we are prepared to cooperate with Grand Duke Evan and help him seize power. In the entire Purcell clan, only Grand Duke Evan can cooperate with us. Only Grand Duke Evan has a bit of conscience and cares about the lives of the Purcell Duchy's civilians."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "This is not a problem. Rest assured, if you need my help, you must come and find me. Right, I still have more than a million pounds of bamboo rice. If you need it, you can come and get it at any time."
Laura was surprised. She really didn't think that Zhao Hai would have so much bamboo rice in his hands. This really surprised her.
It was impossible for Zhao Hai to not have any stock in his hands. Before Laura and the others had started to store food, Zhao Hai had already begun to prepare. He had already stored the bamboo rice for an emergency. To be exact, it wasn't just a million pounds, but a full three million pounds. However, Zhao Hai wouldn't take it all out. As long as it was enough, it would be enough.
Laura was overjoyed. "Then Laura would like to thank Mister. This time, if we are defeated, it would mean that the large firms have won. It is very likely that they would release food. When that time comes, Mister wouldn't have to prepare so much food."
Zhao Hai was surprised for a moment, but then he thought about it and understood what was going on. If the large firms really helped the Second Elder or the Third Elder seize power, then they would lower the price of food and release it. This would stabilize the Purcell Duchy's market in a short time and help the people they supported to sit in a stable position. Although they would lose some money, as long as the people they supported sat in a stable position, then they would be able to monopolize the entire Purcell Duchy's market. When that time comes, they would be able to make a lot of money.
Zhao Hai nodded. "Alright, Miss Laura. I'll say it again. If you really encounter any trouble, you can come to Stony Mountain to find me. Even if it's a Rank Nine expert, I can still protect you."
If Laura had some doubts about ancient magic tools before, now she didn't have any doubts. Although she hadn't used any of those tools, don't forget that Green had. Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Green had indeed escaped from the hands of a Rank Nine expert with his life. This was a fact.
At the same time, Laura also understood the value of ancient magic tools. Laura stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai. "Thank you, Mister."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. "Miss Laura, I'm afraid you came out this time to attract the attention of those people, right? Don't be in a hurry to go back. Stay and eat. I'll have people prepare the fire fish that Miss Laura likes to eat.
Laura wasn't polite and agreed with a smile. However, it wasn't time to eat yet, so Zhao Hai arranged a room for Laura to rest in.
As soon as Laura entered the living room, Zhao Hai turned to Green and said, "Grandpa Green, what do you think of this matter?"
Green smiled faintly. "We don't need to worry about them. Let them fight. In any case, it's none of our business. If those big firms really dare to make a move against us, we won't be polite. Tell Drunk to pay attention. If they see Buffy, they should immediately report back. Didn't Buffy go to the Carrion Swamp? After so many years, even if a Rank Nine expert enters the Carrion Swamp, there are very few who can come back alive. If Buffy comes back alive, then we'll look at the situation. If he's injured, then we'll have to keep him here forever. First, we'll cut off a big arm of the Purcell clan. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. "I didn't think that things would develop to this point. However, do you think that Laura said that Evan secretly helped us? Is that true or false?"
Green lowered his voice and said, "This matter is very likely true. I feel that the Purcell clan's style of doing things is a bit different. It's not like Evan's style. I've seen Evan before, and he doesn't seem like an ungrateful person. I've always felt that it was strange. Why did Evan change so much after becoming the clan's head? Moreover, our clan was assigned to the Black Waste and wasn't exterminated by those big nobles? I've always felt that there was someone behind this that was helping us. I'm afraid that it could only be Evan."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Should we help Evan?"
Green smiled and said, "We shouldn't get involved in this matter, lest we be exposed. Right now, the Purcell clan is fighting. If we get involved, then it's very likely that the Purcell clan and those big firms will join forces to counterattack. You should know that our current identity is that of a Black Mage. We aren't popular people."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "That's good. In any case, we'll just sit on the sidelines and watch. Our current identity can't be exposed, so we shouldn't get involved in this matter. In any case, Evan has Laura to help him. If Laura fails, then even if we join in, I'm afraid that we won't be able to help."
Green smiled and said, "That's right. Right now, our identity can't be exposed. Once exposed, there won't be a place for us in the entire continent. Fortunately, with our current identity, most people wouldn't dare to provoke us. As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, then there shouldn't be any problems."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "But if necessary, we should give Laura some help. If Laura really fails, then we won't have a place to sell the goods. There are so many things planted in the space. If we can't sell them, then it won't be easy."
Green thought for a moment and said, "This is also good. If Laura really encounters danger, we can help her. After all, we have a relationship with them. If we help, no one will say anything."
Zhao Hai nodded and said to Green, "Grandpa Green, you go greet Laura. I'll call Grandma Merlin and have her prepare lunch. I'll also tell Drunk about Buffy."
Green nodded and turned to go out. Zhao Hai went to the space and sent Merlin, who was teaching the slaves, to the outside of the space. He had her prepare lunch and told Drunk about Buffy, so that they could be more careful.
Although the slaves were somewhat depressed when they first entered the space, they were now much better. This was thanks to the blue-eyed rabbits in Zhao Hai's hands. This time, when they entered the space, Zhao Hai would prepare a meat dish for every meal. This treatment was much better than when they were outside the space. The slaves' moods slowly stabilized.
Zhao Hai also promised them that the things that each of them had received before would be returned to them when they left the space. He said that they didn't have to worry about it. He also had Merlin teach the slaves how to read, which improved their mood.
When Merlin heard that Zhao Hai had asked her to go out and prepare lunch for Laura, she was very happy. In her opinion, Laura was Zhao Hai's wife. The more frequently Laura came, the better. It would be good if she came every day.
Zhao Hai looked at Merlin's appearance and felt very impatient. After releasing Merlin, he simply stayed in the space and waited until it was time to eat before going out.
Zhao Hai's performance made Meg feel relieved. She was really afraid that Zhao Hai would also like to interact with Laura. When the time came, he wouldn't want her.
Zhao Hai didn't teach the slaves how to read. Instead, he let them rest. He sat with Meg and Blockhead in the space's empty hall and told them the news that Laura had just told him.
Meg and the others didn't think that things would develop to this point. Without waiting for Zhao Hai to finish, Blockhead smiled and said, "Good, fighting is good. The more they fight, the more advantageous it would be for us. Let them fight, they won't have the heart to care about us. That way, we will be safer."
What Meg was concerned about was another matter. She looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, if Grand Duke Evan really helped us in secret, then would your engagement with the Purcell clan still be valid?"
Even if Evan really helped us, we'll just find an opportunity to help him in the future. I heard that Evan's daughter's reputation in the Purcell Duchy isn't very good. Our Buda clan doesn't want that kind of trash. Our Little Meg is a thousand times better than Evan's daughter. "Zhao smiled and said," That's right. The engagement is broken, it can't be valid. Even if Evan really helped us, we'll find an opportunity to help him in the future.
