Just like what Zhao Hai had said, the businesses that he had taken over were enough to make people jealous. Now, his brothers ‘starting points were almost the same, and their strengths were similar. None of them were particularly strong or weak. However, if he started to do these businesses, his strength would slowly surpass his brothers. At that time, if his brothers joined forces to deal with him, he would be in big trouble.
However, the businesses that Zhao Hai mentioned were all very profitable. He really couldn’t bear to give them up, which was why he was in a difficult position.
Zhao Hai looked at Charlie and smiled. &Quot; Your Highness, you don’t have to think too much. At the end of the day, the final decision doesn’t lie with you. You just have to do your own thing. &Quot;
Charlie nodded and let out a sigh. He understood what Zhao Hai meant. The final decision for the battle for the throne was not in their hands. His father was in good health and was not very old. He would probably be fine even if he were to be Emperor for another ten or twenty years. Who knew what would happen twenty years later?
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; Your Highness, I’m planning to open a shop in the Jade water city. I’ll have to trouble Your Highness when the time comes. &Quot;
&Quot; don’t worry, Sir, ” Charlie said with a smile. &Quot; everything’s fine in my territory. &Quot;
As they were talking, an alarm suddenly rang out from outside. Zhao Hai was taken aback, and turned to look at Shunyi, who immediately ran out.
Charlie, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face. He still had this level of self-control. After a while, Shunyi walked out and bowed to Zhao Hai. &Quot; young master, there are a few ships that have been following us since we left the port. They have caught up with us and have surrounded us. &Quot;
“They’re coming for us. Let’s go and see who they are.” Zhao Hai nodded.
After saying that, he stood up. Charlie also stood up, but Zhao Hai said,”Your Highness, you should wait in the cabin for a while. This matter might not be directed at you. If it isn’t, you will be exposed if you go out.”
Charlie nodded and sat down again. Zhao Hai led Laura and the others out, leaving only Charlie and Li Rui in the living room.
“Your Highness, do you think it’ll be dangerous?” asked Li Rui with a frown.
Charlie shook his head and said, ” it’s really hard to say. Forget it, let’s not think too much. We’ll know in a while. I believe that Sir’s strength should be able to guarantee our safety. &Quot;
Although Li Rui was still worried, he didn’t say anything and just nodded. He didn’t know that Zhao Xiangdong’s realm was already at level 8. With Zhao Wen, Cai ‘er, and the undead creatures, there weren’t many people in the world who could touch Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai walked out of the living room and calmly looked at the few ships surrounding him. These ships were not real warships, but they were all five-masted armed iron-armored merchant ships, the same as the Paradise that Zhao Hai was on. Zhao Hai was really surprised that a few of these ships could be deployed at once.
However, Zhao Hai wasn’t afraid of this. No matter how powerful the armed merchant ships were, it was useless. The undead creatures in his hands had reached level 8 due to the realm’s upgrade. It wouldn’t be a problem for them to destroy a small country. Why would he be afraid of these few ships?
However, Zhao Hai didn’t make a move. He wanted to see why the other party was here. Thus, he stood there calmly and even had the peach origin lower its sail to wait for the other party.
Not long after, they were surrounded by a few boats. One of the boats was the closest to them. Zhao Hai took a look at the boat and saw a group of people standing on it. The most eye-catching one was a man in his 30s. This man’s dress was very similar to Charlie’s. It seemed to be a very low-key dress, but it gave off a very different feeling when worn by them. Most importantly, this man had the aura of a superior that Charlie did not have.
With one look at this person, Zhao Hai could more or less tell that these people were not here for him, but for Charlie. This person was most likely Charlie’s second brother, the second Prince of the Roson Empire.
Zhao Hai took a deep breath and bowed to the person who seemed to be the second Prince.”May I know who you are? Why are you blocking our way? Don’t you know that this is the waters of the Roson Empire?”
The man who seemed to be the second Prince looked at Zhao Hai curiously when he heard what he said. After a while, he said,”You must be Zhao Hai? You’re quite bold, coming to the Roson Empire and not even asking about the people you shouldn’t offend before you dare to get involved. But don’t worry, I’m not here to find you today.”
Zhao Hai was sure of his identity when he heard that. He smiled and said, ” &Quot; I really don’t know who in the Roson Empire I can’t afford to offend. I’m just an ordinary merchant doing business properly. I haven’t paid a single cent less in taxes. I didn’t become a spy, nor did I commit murder or arson. I just don’t know what’s so important that I’m worried. &Quot;
The second Prince looked at Zhao Hai with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, ” &Quot; kid, I’m not here for you today. Go and ask little San to come out. You’ve arrived at water out city, but you didn’t come to see me. Isn’t that a little too much? ”
Zhao Hai was about to say something, but Charlie had already walked out of the ship. He smiled and bowed to the second Prince. &Quot; greetings, second brother. I’m only going to the water out city for a short stay. I didn’t want to trouble you. &Quot;
The second Prince looked at Charlie with a half-smile and said, ” “Is it really just a few days, nothing else? Then why did Mr. Zhao Hai suddenly leave out water city and go to Jade water city?”
Charlie smiled. &Quot; I met Mr. Zhao Hai by accident. I heard that you were going to Jade water city to do business, so I came to take a ride. What’s wrong with that? ” Is it worth second brother’s effort?”
The second Prince snorted. &Quot; mo, don’t talk to me about such useless things. Although I don’t care about what Zhao Hai has, you’re obviously trying to poach him. That doesn’t seem right, does it? ”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” “This should be the second Prince, right? I’m a businessman. It’s my freedom to do business there, right? Why do I have to do business in the water out city? Would it be wrong to go to other places? Then, since I first came to Tianshui city, does that mean I can only do business in Tianshui city for the rest of my life? I wonder where the second Prince’s poaching came from?”
The second Prince looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” Zhao Hai, you have no right to speak here. You’d better stay there and not say a word. Otherwise, do you believe that I can make it so that you can’t do business in the Rossen Empire anymore? ”
“I don’t believe you!” Zhao Hai smiled. It was a simple word, but it almost made the second Prince’s lungs explode. He looked at Zhao Hai with an ashen face.
Charlie had not expected Zhao Hai to directly go against the second Prince. This made him feel both touched and shocked. This was because Charlie had already understood Zhao Hai’s intention to join him. He did not want anything to happen to Zhao Hai at this time.
“Second brother, just say it. What do you want today?” Charlie immediately asked. This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Zhao Hai, so if you have anything to say, just tell me. ”
Charlie coldly snorted. &Quot; mo, don’t be too smug. I won’t touch you. Otherwise, if father finds out, I’ll be finished. But this Zhao Hai must return to water out city with me. &Quot;
&Quot; impossible, ” Charlie said firmly. &Quot; I’m not that close to Zhao Hai. He can go wherever he wants. I don’t have the authority to order him around. &Quot;
The second Prince snorted. &Quot; stop pretending. If you have nothing to do with Zhao Hai, why did you take his ship back to Jade water city? ” Who doesn’t know that he had a falling out with the kalchi family? he must have come to water out city to do business here, but you poached him to water Jade City. It seems to be your fault, right?”
“There are many people doing business between water out city and Jade water city. Second brother, you can’t say that to every one of them, can you?” Charlie smiled. Then it must be second brother’s fault, right? I really don’t know why Mr. Zhao Hai left water out city, but second brother shouldn’t be stopping him like this.”
The second Prince looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, ” “Zhao Hai, could it be that you’re really going to rely on little San?”
Zhao Hai looked at the second Prince and smiled. &Quot; Your Highness, I’m just a businessman. It’s my duty to pursue profits. I’ve taken a look at the environment here in the water out city. It’s not suitable for my business, so I want to take a look at the water out city. What’s wrong with that? ” The third Prince is only taking my ship back to Jade water city, is that not okay?”
When the second Prince heard Zhao Hai’s words, he could not help but clench his teeth and say, ” “Zhao Hai, which part of my water city is not suitable for you to do business with? Or did mo give you some conditions? I can give you whatever conditions he has.”
Zhao Hai could not help but sigh inwardly. This second Prince was still slightly inferior to Charlie. He must have only noticed Charlie when he boarded the ship, so he immediately chased after him. With just this method, he was no match for Charlie. A person like this would never be able to defeat Charlie.
Zhao Hai bowed to the second Prince and said, ” Your Highness, I really want to go to the Jade water city to have a look. As you said, I have some conflicts with the kalchi family now, so I want to choose a place to do business. However, I didn’t go to the Jade water city and the Jade water city before. This time, I came to the Jade water city because it is closer to me. I didn’t decide to do business there. Your Highness, you don’t have to mobilize so many people. &Quot;
The second Prince looked at Zhao Hai’s expression and said with an ashen face, ” &Quot; good, Zhao Hai. I’ll let you off today if you have the guts. However, you have to be careful in the future. You have to know which family the Roson Empire belongs to. &Quot; After saying that, he waved his hand and the boat he was on slowly left.
Zhao Hai sighed as he watched the second Prince’s ship leave. He was very disappointed in the second Prince.
