Zhao Hai opened the door and looked at the servant, ” “It’s Zhao Hai.”

The servant stepped forward and said, ” Sir, please come to the backyard. His Highness has instructed that Sir’s carriage can enter the manor directly from the back door. In the future, when Sir comes, you can do the same. This way, Sir. &Quot;

“Lead the way,” Zhao Hai nodded. The servant responded and walked beside the ox-cart towards the backyard.

The backyard of this courtyard was not a place that anyone could enter and exit. Generally, other than their own family members, others were not allowed to enter through the back door, because that place led directly to the backyard, which was the hinterland of the mansion.

After entering the backyard from the back door, the servant immediately led Zhao Hai forward. Not long after, they arrived at a living room. Charlie was standing in front of the door. Behind him were a few people. They were all dressed in formal attire and wore family emblems. Zhao Hai took a look at them. Their ranks were not very high. It was obvious that there were no old nobles among them.

Zhao Hai led Laura and the other three to greet Charlie. Charlie smiled and said, ” “Little hai, you’re here. I say, why don’t you give me that ox-cart? I’ll get you a better horse-drawn carriage. Don’t you think that ox-cart is slow?”

Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; if your Highness likes my ox-cart, you can just tell me and I’ll give it to you. However, I don’t want your carriage. It’s too fast and unstable. I’m not used to it. &Quot;

Charlie smiled. &Quot; you’re getting more generous. Come on, let’s sit in the living room for a while before we go to the front. I have a few people I want to introduce you to. &Quot;

Zhao Hai followed Charlie into the living room. Laura and the others were naturally led to the side hall by a servant. Charlie and a few other nobles were there. However, none of them would bring several women to the banquet like Zhao Hai.

After entering the living room, Charlie introduced a few people to Zhao Hai. In fact, Zhao Hai already knew which family they belonged to. These people were indeed Charlie’s hardcore subordinates. Since Zhao Hai’s shop in Jade water city was opened, their families had been on good terms with Zhao Hai’s shop, so Zhao Hai had already known them.

After the few of them greeted each other, they sat down. Charlie looked at them and smiled.”All of you are here today, so I don’t want to beat around the bush. You are all the people I trust the most. From now on, you will be family, so I hope you can get closer.”

Zhao Hai nodded and smiled. &Quot; we will. Don’t worry, Your Highness. We are all your people. If anything happens, we will only bring trouble to you. &Quot;

A tall man sitting beside Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” &Quot; that’s right. Mr. Zhao Hai is right. Your Highness, you can rest assured. &Quot;

This man was from the INMI family. The INMI family was a new family that had only been around for a hundred years. They were also an Earl, but their family had been generals for generations. They were very good at leading troops. However, the Rosen Empire was the most powerful country on the continent, and ordinary people did not dare to provoke it. Therefore, there had been no major battles in the past few years, and their family had not had the opportunity to make any contributions. Thus, their Earl rank had not been promoted.

This man was called Zhan yingmi. He was a typical martial arts practitioner with a very straightforward temper. However, it was also because of this personality that the yingmi family had not been living well these years. Their family was not good at doing business, and they had to rely on the income of the territory to live a life that was not very satisfactory.

However, Zhao Hai liked this person. Among the nobles, there were not many who had such a straightforward temper. This was because such a temper was very disadvantageous to the nobles.

Hearing Zhao Hai and Zhan’s words, the others chimed in. Charlie nodded, &Quot; father is in the prime of his life. Although he wants us to develop on our own, he doesn’t like us forming too many groups. Your families are not in the core of power in the imperial capital, so they won’t attract people’s attention. However, I hope that you can be more careful. &Quot;

The few of them responded, and Charlie continued, &Quot; now that Mr. Zhao Hai has joined me, you can say that it has a certain impact on me. None of my brothers are as strong as you. Most importantly, Xingsheng can’t get a level 9 expert to join him. This will be of greater help to me. However, my brothers are all jealous. I’m afraid that even my father will take notice of me. So, I hope that everyone will keep a low profile in the future and not let others have any rumors about me. &Quot;

Hearing Charlie’s words, Zhao Hai could not help but say apologetically,”I’ve caused trouble for Your Highness. It’s Zhao Hai’s thoughtless consideration.”

Charlie waved his hand and said with a smile, ” no, Sir, you’ve shown your strength. Although it will bring me a little trouble, it won’t be a big deal. You don’t have to take it to heart. On the contrary, with you around, those people who want to touch us will have to think carefully. You’ll be of greater help to us. &Quot;

The others nodded in agreement with Charlie. Among the princes, the eldest Prince had always been in the capital and could be said to be the most powerful. The second Prince had also developed quite well in the past few years and was also very high-profile. The power he had was not weak either. Charlie had always been relatively low-key. Although he was low-key and did not attract attention, those who wanted to rely on him had to think carefully before they could do so. Hence, Charlie’s power was not very great.

However, things were different with Zhao Hai’s participation. Zhao Hai was able to hire level 9 experts and powerful undead creatures. Most importantly, he was the son-in-law of the kalchi family. With these identities, no one on the continent dared to look down on Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai was also Charlie’s subordinate. This made everyone not dare to look down on Charlie. Some of the smaller nobles who had been observing the situation had already thrown their lot into Charlie’s faction. Now, Charlie’s subordinates had become much stronger.

However, Charlie still had a very clear understanding. Although the strength of his subordinates had increased greatly recently, there were not many of them who were truly loyal to him. Most of them were fence sitters. Although they seemed to have a big influence, if something really happened, there were not many who could be of use.

It was precisely because of this that Charlie had told them to keep a low profile. Zhao Hai was very appreciative of this. He also knew that Charlie had been very influential recently. He was really afraid that Charlie would be confused by such superficial appearances. Now, it seemed like he had been overthinking.

Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled, ” “Your Highness, you’re praising me too much. However, if you have any problems in the future, you can let me know. We’re all from Your Highness’s camp, so we have to help each other. Oh right, big brother Zhan, I think after grace day, we should discuss our cooperation. I have quite a lot of food on hand. Is big brother Zhan interested?”

When Zhan Yi heard Zhao Hai’s words, he still did not understand what was going on. He knew very well that Zhao Hai’s grain was all peach blossom rice, which was already quite famous in the Rosen Empire. Even if he obtained the right to distribute the peach blossom rice, it would still be a profitable business. Zhao Hai was helping him.

Zhan looked gratefully at Zhao Hai and said, ” “Thank you, brother Zhao Hai. I’m not afraid that you’ll laugh at me for saying this, but if it wasn’t for His Highness’s constant help all these years, I’m afraid I would have been in debt a long time ago. You’ve really helped me a lot.”

Zhao Hai laughed. &Quot; Your Highness, you don’t care about the food business. I don’t have any sales network in the Roson Empire, so I have to find someone to cooperate with. Instead of finding someone else, I might as well find one of my own. Don’t let the good stuff flow into others ‘fields. &Quot;

Charlie laughed and said, ” good, well said, little hai. Good words, don’t let the fertile water flow into others ‘fields. In the future, everyone should be like this. Remember, we’re all a family. If one day we really succeed, I, Charlie, swear to God that I will not treat you badly. &Quot;

The few of them immediately stood up to thank him. On the continent, it was considered a heavy oath for people to swear to God. Charlie really valued them very much.

After Charlie asked them to sit down, the other head of the Heller family, tayheller, said to Charlie, ” “Your Highness, if we don’t want people to notice us, there is a way. We can put on a show of internal fighting. What do you think, Your Highness?”
