Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 530

Chapter 530 – Robert's Shock

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "The second choice is to go to Golden Island. That place is also the Buda Clans' territory. After you head there, you can do administrative work for the Island. But to make sure that you don't pass on some information, I will have to make undeads watch over your day to day lives."

Robert knitted his brows. He clearly knew what Zhao Hai meant, they cannot expose the existence of this place. Therefore, if they go to Golden island, they would always have an undead right beside them and they wouldn't have anything to say about this matter.

If they go to the Black Wasteland, there's no need for the undead. This was because the wasteland was a completely closed off environment,  it was impossible for outsiders to come in, while Zhao Hai wouldn't easily allow the people inside to go out. So if they go there, they can move very freely without being monitored.

On the other hand, Golden Island has contact with the outside world. Although the Iksa Family was now on its low point, Robert was still hoping that they can still show their faces to the continent. This would make the people know that the Iksa Family survived, that they still exist.

However, being monitored everyday was very uncomfortable. Robert was now having a hard time making up his mind, he didn't know how to handle this matter.

Looking at Robert's appearance, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Uncle Robert doesn't need to worry about this right now. I shall first take you to the Black Wasteland later, you can slowly deliberate your decision there. If you decide to stay there, I wouldn't oppose. And if you decide to go to Golden Island, I will certainly bring you there."

Robert nodded, this matter needed to be thought through properly. He cannot stay in the Space for a long time. So after Zhao Hai talked about this matter to Robert, he immediately sent the family into the Black Wasteland.

Robert was now certain that the Space was Zhao Hai's magical property. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to transfer people everywhere.

There are a lot of people in the Iksa Family but they can definitely be accommodated inside Iron Mountain Fort. Moreover, when they arrived at the fort, Robert and the others were shocked. They didn't think that the legendary barn hills and untamed rivers of the Black Wasteland would have such a beautiful castle. Moreover, this castle has been producing some of the continent's highly sought after products.

Robert was surprised because the Black Wasteland was already considered to be the continent's most mysterious place by the Nobles. He didn't expect the the Buda Clan would have their roots here.

It didn’t take a long time before Robert came to like the place. Most of the people here have marks of slaves, however, they weren't slaves anymore. There were Beastmen here as well, but these Beastmen were strangely full of hospitality and friendliness.

Most importantly, Robert can notice a certain kind of thing within these people. They were all full of vigor, as though they were working hard to have a better life. This kind of vigor was rarely seen in the continent.

When Robert heard Zhao Hai say that the Black Wasteland had been transformed, and that all of the lands can now be cultivated, Robert was once again shocked.

Robert was the Patriarch of the Iksa Family, a well-known family of the continent. Therefore, he had full understanding with regards to the Black Wasteland.

The Black Wasteland was the continent's biggest plain. Although it was placed in the north, and can only be cultivated on one season, it was an undeniable fact that if the Black Wasteland were to gain an ability to grow crops, it would certainly be the continent's largest granary.

If not because of this, the continent wouldn't have spent a lot of time and energy to research the wasteland. This was because its topography was fantastic. Once one was able to grow crops here, their influence in the continent would certainly soar.

What Robert didn't expect was that the place where the continent had spent a long time on researching was solved by Zhao Hai this easily. Robert now understood why Zhao Hai didn't make Golden Island the Buda Clan's main base. Golden Island was an important hub for maritime trade, it can certainly bring a lot of profit to the Buda CLan. But compared to the Black Wasteland, the island was still a long way off. You can't always exchange food with money, but you can always exchange money with food.

After knowing that the Black Wasteland can now grow some crops, Robert almost immediately decided to stay here.

The Black Wasteland was very huge, one could definitely establish their own nation here. With the continual rise of the Buda Clan, the development of the Black Wasteland would become better and better. If the Iksa Clan can be an influential family in the Black Wasteland, their reappearance in the future would be much better.

Robert knew that it would be impossible for the Buda Clan to hide the existence of the Black Wasteland forever. So people of the continent would surely know of the wasteland's situation in the future. Therefore, the Iksa Family can still show their faces to the continent, only this time quite beautifully.

But Robert also knew that this matter wouldn't be easy. After all, the Iksa Family had been enjoying their place in the continent. With how desolate the Black Wasteland seemed, he was afraid that his family members wouldn't be able to get used to it.

Although Robert was the Patriarch, he cannot just ignore the thoughts of his family members. He wasn't a dictator, he needed to listen to the words of the family elders.

On the other hand, Zhao Hai was hoping that Robert's family would decide to stay inside the Black Wasteland. Compared to Golden Island, the Black Wasteland needed managerial talents more.

After all, the Iksa Family was also a Great Clan in the past. Although there weren't a lot of people who came this time, Zhao Hai knew that those present were the elite members of the family.

The plan of the Radiant Church this time was very simple. Since they want to eliminate the Iksa Family, then they surely wouldn't let their elites off. They wanted to sacrifice the lives of four of their 9th rank experts in order to achieve their goal of extinguishing both Zhao Hai and the Iksa Family. Exterminating a Great Clan was both easy and hard. There were two ways of doing so; First, it was to kill all of their 9th rank experts, this way they'll lose their power backing. The second was to kill all of their elites. This would inhibit the growth of the family, and would thus vanish in the future.

The Radiant Church chose to use the two methods to deal with the Iksa Family. They killed the family's 9th rank expert first, then concentrated their effort of eliminating the elites along with Zhao Hai. Therefore, even if there weren't a lot of people who came with Zhao Hai, all of them were elites of the family. As long as they learn a bit, they would become independent managers. This would be a huge benefit to the Black Wasteland's development.

Because Zhao Hai had such intentions, he decided to show Robert and the others the Black Wasteland first. He believed that if they saw the Black Wasteland, they would certainly feel attracted to it.

Obviously, he succeeded, Robert was moved. The current Black Wasteland cannot be considered to be on the same level as Golden Island. However, since it can now be cultivated, its potential was endless. For Robert and the Iksa Family, being in the Black Wasteland was much more attractive than being in Golden Island.

On Golden Island, they would be safe, yes, but what can they do then? On Golden Island, they can only become a Merchant Clan at most. If they wanted to regain their former glory, it would be impossible to accomplish it in the island.

For Robert, this was unacceptable. They were a Great Clan in Aksu Empire, with a name renowned in the Continent. How could they be comfortable with being a rich Merchant Clan? Therefore, Zhao Hai decided to show them the Black Wasteland's potential, and have them tie their family to the Buda Clan's chariot.

Zhao Hai also asked Robert if they needed anything right now. After all, Iron Mountain Fort cannot be compared to their past situation.

But Robert told him that they were alright They already have some daily necessities, and they were eating and drinking properly as well. The only thing they were unfamiliar with was the lack of contact with the outside world.

Zhao Hai didn't ask Robert to bring the Iksa Family's properties out. Such words can only make Robert misunderstand and make him think that Zhao Hai wanted to swallow the Iksa Family.

After settling the Iksa Family down, Zhao Hai returned to the Iksa Family's territory. He wanted to see how Bell was doing. Bell's identity might have been exposed, so he cannot stay here. In any case, Bell can also be considered to be one of the powers of the Iksa Family, the Radiant Church wouldn't certainly let him off.

Zhao Hai's fight with the 9th rank experts caused quite a stir. Sarte City was now under martial law.

Zhao Hai turned his attention to the state of Bell's Family. Presently, the family had vanished from Sarte City. It seems like Bell was already ready to leave, but with the 9th rank experts, he cannot leave. Now that the 9th ranks had died, he naturally fled immediately.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Hai felt relief. He believed in the escape route that Bell prepared, that man wasn't a simple person.

Since nothing noteworthy was left to see in Sarte City, Zhao Hai left. He went to find Evan and told him about what happened to the Iksa Family. Then he had Evan release this information into the continent. He must make all of the Clans in the continent know about what happened to the Iksa Family. This was also another form of attack towards the Radiant Church.

What the Radiant Church had done was very excessive, they even had the Aksu Empire under their control. If Zhao Hai spread this information, the other countries in the continent would surely be on guard against the church. Zhao Hai wanted to see if the Radiant Church would still dare to act so rampant.

Chapter 531 – Evan's Hesitation, Robert's Decision

Evan still hasn't received the information about the Iksa Family. After all, it just happened, if people died, it would be impossible for him to know.

After Zhao Hai returned to Casa City, he directly went to the City Lord's Mansion. Evan didn't expect Zhao Hai to come back this quickly. But he knew that Zhao Hai had a lot of secrets, so he just disregarded it and invited him over to the living room.

After they sat down, Zhao Hai told Evan everything regarding the happenings in the Iksa Domain. Evan was startled, he knew that even if the Iksa Family didn't hold the title of Grand Duke, their might wasn't much worse compared to the Purcell Duchy. But now, their clan was almost equal to being eliminated, the Radiant Church was truly ruthless.

After relaying the event, Zhao Hai didn't immediately ask Evan to spread the information. He looked at Evan's expression first. He knew that Evan cannot just leave his properties here. If he tells everything straight to Evan, even if he didn't understand the choices, Zhao Hai was afraid that he would follow in the steps of the Iksa Family.

Zhao Hai hadn't given up in drawing the Purcell Family into the Buda CLan. The Buda Clan badly needed talents right now. As the Clan gets bigger and bigger, the talents that it needed would also get more and more.

The Markey Family's people were now helping to manage Golden Island. In addition to their prior businesses, not too many of them were free to help the Buda Clan.

The Buda Clan itself had a few number of people. But even if the Iksa Family were added to their numbers, don't forget about the 100 thousand Beastman slaves that were still coming as well as the 100 thousand slaves that he bought from Carson City. With over 200 thousand slaves, how much people does the Clan need in order to manage them? The slaves who became citizens and can now write aren't fit for the job, they still needed prior managerial skills. If the Purcell Family were to join, then their number of talents would surely increase.

However, the Purcell Family's situation was much complex than the Iksa Family. The Radiant Church had already seeped into the Purcell Family. Therefore, even if Zhao Hai wanted to take them in, he still needed to be careful in doing so.

Evan had told Zhao Hai about the existence of Radiant Church fanatics inside the family. However, he didn't tell Zhao Hai how he plans to deal with them, nor did he express his intention to. Maybe Evan wanted a way back if he cannot take the pressure. He may look for the Radiant Church for help, so he decided to keep those people as insurance.

Zhao Hai told Evan about the Iksa Family's situation because he wanted Evan to see what the Purcell Family might become. It was so that Evan wouldn't dream of going to the Radiant Church in the future.

After Evan heard him, his expression changed. He didn't think that the Radiant Church would be this ruthless. If the Radiant Church would deal with him the same way, what would happen to the Purcell Family?

Zhao Hai stayed silent, he just calmly sat there while looking at Evan. He wanted to know what Evan would do. Now that the pieces were laid down in front of Evan, Zhao Hai wanted to know which one the Purcell Family would choose, the Radiant Church or the Buda Clan.

Evan stayed silent for quite some time, he was deciding on a hard choice. He knew that if he chose the Buda Clan, then the Purcell Family would lose everything that they had in the Purcell Duchy. After then, the Purcell Family would become the vassals of the Buda Clan, this was not the best outcome.

But if he sided with the Radiant Church, then he was afraid that the Radiant Church might renege on their agreement. At that time, he would lose literally everything.

Most importantly, this matter wasn't something that he could decide along. Even though the Purcell Duchy had undergone changes and he has now accumulated a lot of influence, he still needed to ask for the Elder Assembly's opinion regarding their stance against the Radiant Church.

In truth, Zhao Hai was now disappointed with the Purcell Family. The way they handled matters was both overcautious and indecisive. Even if Zhao Hai had told them about what happened to the Iksa Family, they were still hesitating.

Evan clearly expressed his support for Zhao Hai since the beginning. But even if the Purcell Family supported Zhao Hai, they still left behind a leeway for themselves. They wanted to support two sides, which was utterly impossible.

Zhao Hai sighed inwardly, then with a serious tone, he said, "Uncle, I'll be leaving this matter for you to think about. I won't be disturbing you. I shall stay here for a couple of days, if you have any matter to tell me about, you can just go to Laura's original place. As long as you go there, I will go and meet you."

Evan didn't expect Zhao Hai to leave, he wanted Zhao Hai to stay here. He didn't know what to say right now and couldn't open his mouth. In the end, he can only sigh and then escorted Zhao Hai out.

He also knew that for Zhao Hai to be able to bring the Buda Clan into this height in just one year, he surely had some fortuitous encounter. He wasn't someone to be underestimated. Zhao Hai certainly knew about what was going on in his mind, therefore Zhao Hai wanted to leave.

Regarding this situation, Evan felt helpless. In his heart, he wanted to aid Zhao Hai. But as a Patriarch, he needed to compromise with the world. A matter that decides the family's fate wasn't something that he can just decide on his own.

After Zhao Hai boarded his carriage and left the City Lord's Mansion, he found a desolate place and then flashed to the Space. He didn't go to Iron Mountain Fort, he just stayed in the Space and looked at the responses of both the Iksa Family and the Purcell Family.

It was assured that the Iksa Family would side with Zhao Hai. From today's events, they had lost all of their 9th rank experts. And with their enmity with the Radiant Church, it was impossible for them to return to the continent.

If they did return, then the Radiant Church wouldn't even need to move. Other jealous Aksu Empire Nobles would certainly be interested in their properties and their lives.

Therefore, the choices that the Iksa Family needed to decide on was simple. It was either to stay in the Black Wasteland or to go to Golden Island.

Zhao Hai knew that the Iksa Family would want to convene in order to decide on this matter. He wanted to have a look about what the Iksa Family decided on.

On the other hand, Zhao Hai can almost correctly guess what the Purcell Family's decision would be. The Elder's Assembly still held great influence, their authority was too big. There were even times where Evan cannot do anything about it. And it would be impossible for these elders to discard all of the properties that the Purcell Family had accumulated just to side with the Buda Clan.

However, Zhao Hai still hoped that they would come up with a satisfactory response. So he wanted to pay attention to their decision.

Naturally, he couldn't let those people take care of spreading the Iksa Family's matter to the continent anymore. Therefore, the immediately wrote a letter and sent it over to Kun. Kun would then hand the letter off to Randolph and then in turn hand it over to the Rosen Emperor. With their combined efforts, it would only take a short time before this matter would be spread around the continent.

While Zhao Hai was thinking about this, the Iksa Family had truly gathered together and discussed what to do. Green was very good towards the Iksa Family, he handed a region of the fort for their own use. The place was still unoccupied, so the Iksa Family can use it in the meantime.

Robert was now accompanied with some core members of his family. Besides Robert, there were ten other people present, Fernand wasn't qualified to participate in this meeting.

Robert looked at the eyes of those present and sadi, "Our Iksa Family had truly experienced a disaster. We're almost to a point of being extinguished. It was fortunate that Little Hai was able to save us, allowing our further survival. But for Little Hai to save us, he had exposed the Buda Clan's biggest secret. Leaving the Buda Clan would be impossible."

The other people present weren't surprised, they weren’t stupid. Even if Zhao Hai hadn't told them about the Space, they can still guess what it was. Therefore, Robert's words didn't startle them, it was completely expected.

When Robert saw their expressions, he couldn't help but nod. These people didn't disappoint him, then he continued, "Little Hai has now given us two choices. First is to stay here, in the Black Wasteland. Second is to go to Golden Island. I want to hear everyone's opinion."

The people present looked at each other and then one of them said, "Patriarch, can't our family divide our members between the Black Wasteland and Golden Island?"

Robert thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible. But from what I can see, our Iksa Family needs to have a focused direction. We can only look and see which situation is better for us."

Then the elder who talked earlier said, "What is the difference between the two places? Now that we know about the Buda Clan's secret, wouldn't Zhao Hai have any methods to silence us? In that case, I think we need to consider those before deciding."

Robert nodded and said, "Naturally there are. Everyone knows about the Black Wasteland. Once we enter the wasteland, then exiting would be difficult. Therefore, he can just leave us to freely live here, nobody would be monitoring us. Moreover, once Zhao Hai brings his slaves here, we can help him manage them. If we go to Golden Island, an undead would accompany us in order to ensure that the Buda Clan's secret get exposed."

The people in the room frowned and felt embarrassed, this matter was surely hard to decide on. Then the elder thought for a while before turning to Robert and said, "Patriarch, your opinion?" Then the other people also turned their attention to Robert, they wanted to hear his thoughts.

Robert wasn't polite and directly said, "I want our family to focus on the Black Wasteland. The Black Wasteland might be inferior to the continent, but everyone here certainly knows what would happen if it were to be cultivated. With so much land, can the Buda Clan manage it alone? The Black Wasteland's size is enough for it to be a country. If we help the Buda Clan set this country up, what do you all think will happen to our Iksa Family once the Black Wasteland get unraveled in the continent?"

As soon as the elders heard Robert, their eyes turned bright. They were smart people, the immediately understood what Robert meant. This outcome was much better than being protected. If the Buda Clan established their country in the future while the Iksa Family was their subordinate, the status that they would have would certainly not be small. Being a Grand Duke might not even be difficult to attain.

After seeing the expressions of these people, Robert continued, "Our situation would be different if we go to Golden Island. If we go there, our actions would be monitored. Even if Zhao Hai doesn't deal with us, we would still be losing our freedom. Even if Golden Island was a big place as well, our family doesn't have any 9th rank experts so we would still need to depend on the Buda Clan. In the end, even if we get rich, we can only be a Merchant Clan. Therefore, I wanted our Iksa Family to settle in the Black Wasteland."

The elders nodded, they were convinced by Robert. Then Robert said, "Our Iksa Family isn't the same as the original Iksa Family. If we want to reveal our faces again, we cannot leave the Buda Clan. Since we would be depending on the Buda Clan either way, why won't we get power and prestige as well. Why would we only settle on being rich?"

The elder who spoke before nodded and said, "Just as the Patriarch said, I also believe that this is an opportunity for our Iksa Family. Even if our family had been doing beautifully in Aksu Empire, we still didn't get our hands on the title of Grand Duke, we cannot establish our own Duchy. In my opinion, our time with the Aksu Empire has come to a dead end. But now that we have the opportunity to advance, we should grab into it. If the Buda Clan established their own country in the future, our Iksa Family would surely have a high position. Therefore, I completely agree with the Patriarch's opinion. We should stay with the Buda Clan and help them develop the Black Wasteland fully.

The other Iksa Family elders nodded as well. This made Robert relax. Since the Iksa Family had decided on their future, they would now fully support the Buda Clan.

Chapter 532 – Angrily Rebukes

Zhao Hai calmly looked at the screen, he wasn't surprised by the Iksa Family's decision. He just didn't expect the Iksa Family to fully dedicate themselves to the Buda Clan. They had fully become the Buda Clan's vassals.

Most importantly, Robert and the others mentioned the founding of a country. To be honest, Zhao Hai didn't see himself establishing his own country. He just wanted the Black Wasteland to be a place of freedom, a place very different from the outside world.

But founding a nation? This idea didn't fit with Zhao Hai. He had always regarded himself as a small person, with a nerd's personality. He sometimes had a feeling of inferiority and low self confidence.

Even if he had his current status, he was still very careful, which was one of his shortcomings. With his current strength, even if he revealed the situation of the Black Wasteland, which power would dare to face him? As long as he reveals the Black Wasteland, more people in the continent would go and trust him. This would immediately solve the Buda Clan's manpower problem.

However, Zhao Hai still prefers to be careful. He wanted to reveal it little by little. It's nice to be cautious and sometimes timid. There are times when too much courage can cause a person's downfall.

The words of the Iksa Family made Zhao Hai feel overwhelmed. He didn't know which direction the Buda Clan would step into in the future. He just wants to develop the Black Wasteland for now. He didn't even think about founding his own country.

Zhao Hai also knew that there were many things that compelled him to be what he is today. If there weren't any outside factors, he may have even spent his days comfortably in the Space, along with his wives and family.

Laura and the others sat beside Zhao Hai, so they also heard the words of Robert and the others. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would actually make his own country, they knew Zhao Hai's disposition very much. Zhao Hai wasn't an overly ambitious person, everything he does was only to done in order to improve the Buda Clan's living conditions. And unlike people who were hell-bent on contending for the world's supremacy, Zhao Hai was just a man who wanted to live comfortably. This point was already made clear to them long ago.

Seeing that Zhao Hai had not spoken for quite some time, Laura couldn't help but talk to him, "Brother Hai, what are you thinking about?"

Zhao Hai turned his head to Laura and smiled bitterly, "I was thinking about Robert and the others' words. I didn't expect them to want me to establish my own country."

Laura smiled, "In fact, the Iksa Family's words are right. The Black Wasteland is very large and relatively closed off. It is entirely possible for us to establish our own country here. We talked about that before, do you remember?'

Zhao Hai smiled faintly, "Laura, you know how unambitious I am. What I said before was just an analogy. I really didn't intend to make my own country."

Laura smiled, "I know, but Brother Hai, you should know that the Iksa Family was only willing to wholeheartedly side with us because they believed in the Buda Clan's potential. In their minds, the Buda Clan would certainly establish a country in the future, and it would become the most formidable country in the continent. Because of that, they decided to join us. Brother Hai, there would be a lot more people who would throw themselves under us in the future. But if we don't achieve the goals that they imagined, they would be disappointed with us."

Zhao Hai frowned, to be honest, he didn't like this idea. However, what Laura said was right, a lot of people wanted to follow the Buda Clan because they believed in the clan's potential. If he didn't  express any ambition, he would be letting those people down.

Nobody wants to remain obscure, especially the Iksa Family, who were once a Great Family of the continent. They don't want to hide forever. They will help the Buda Clan for one purpose, and that was to gain a higher title when the Buda Clan gets very strong. At that time, their reveal would be very spectacular.

After thinking about this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh, he nodded and said, "Right, we should think about this issue. In the future, the Buda Clan would have more and more members. It would come to a point where a Clan system wouldn't be able to work. The only way forward is to establish our own country."

Laura nodded, "But the country that we will build would be different from the others. It would be one that has our ideals and heart put into it."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Right, we should build one that would be our own. But this matter would have to wait, it still isn't the right time. Moreover, establishing a nation needs huge investments. The Black Wasteland is still very empty, we still have a lot of things to do."

Laura nodded, "Making a country isn't easy. One problem that we have is the fact that Iron Mountain no longer produces Iron. We need to think of solutions for this thing."

Zhao Hai nodded, "We do need to solve that. But we don't need to be anxious about that right now. I think that the Iksa Family would also help us with this preparation."

Laura nodded, then she turned her head to look at Megan and Lizzy and said, "Megan, Lizzy, what do you think?"

Megan and Lizzy looked at each other. To be honest, the two of them were very startled right now, they didn't think that Zhao Hai would be discussing this matter. Establishing a country was a huge matter.

However, they still felt excited. They had never thought of establishing a country before. This idea was too crazy and too exciting!

Megan then said, "That's good, great. We should make our own country. This idea is really good."

Lizzy had the same sentiment, she couldn't hide the excitement on her face as she nodded. Seeing their expressions, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh inside, they didn't know how difficult it was to make a country.

Zhao Hai slowly shook his head, he knew that this matter would be in the far too distant future. The Black Wasteland severely lacks people, making a country here would be impossible.

Zhao Hai changed the scene towards the Purcell Family. Then Zhao Hai became surprised because the Purcell Family didn't meet inside their conference room, but in their living room instead. Elders weren't the only people there, even Ruyen was participating as well as the other younger generations of the family.

The scene had been like this for quite a while. The room was in total chaos, the elders were talking while Evan had an ugly expression. It looks like the decision that they'd settled on wasn't something that Zhao Hai would like.

Zhao Hai knit his brows, then he turned his head to Cai'er and said, "Cai'er, what did they just discuss? "

Cai'er replied, "Evan proposed that the Purcell Family should leave the Purcell Duchy behind and go with the Buda Clan. He said that it would be the best for the family if they were to re-establish themselves in Golden Island. However, the elders didn't agree. What they wanted was to reconcile with the Radiant Church."

Zhao Hai frowned, Cai'er continued, "The elders stated that the Purcell Family came to this point because they had helped us, making them have a falling out with the Radiant Church. If they didn't help us in the past, they the Radiant Church wouldn't have targeted them, and the Purcell Family would have no problems."

At this time, a voice was suddenly heard. It was a woman's voice, when Zhao Hai and the others turned their attention back to the monitor, they saw that it was Ruyen.

Ruyan stood up and said loudly, "All of you shut up! Did you hear what you just said? Reconcile with the Radiant Church? How would you do that? Don't you know how the Radiant Church does things? If we rely on the Radiant Church, the final result would be them annexing our Purcell Family. Is that what you people want to see? Are you really from the Purcell Family?"

After Ruyen talked, an elder coldly snorted and said, "Ruyen, I don't think this is the place for you to talk. How can you be sure that the Radiant Church would annex our Purcell Family? And going to Golden Island? If we go there, we would be depending on the Buda Clan to survive, is that good? What? Do you also want to marry Zhao Hai? Stop dreaming, he's now the Rosen Emperor's son-in-law. He wouldn't take a liking towards someone like you."

The elder's words made Ruyen pale, she was angry right now, "If Zhao Hai didn't take care of the Radiant Church, we would have already been eliminated by Boris. But now, you wanted to rely on the enemy, you really have no courage. You are not worthy to be a person of the Purcell Family."

Another elder talked, "Ruyen, speak cleanly. And who did you call an enemy? And how do you think we got this enemy? It's because of Zhao Hai. If it weren't because of Zhao Hai, then we wouldn't be offending the Radiant Church. Then our Purcell Family wouldn't have reached the point that we're in today."

Ruyen coldly snorted and said, "If it weren't for Zhao Hai, would our Purcell Family survive from our previous food shortage? You remember how the food prices were supposed to inflate? Who do you think is behind all that? It's Boris, he had always wanted to eliminate our Purcell Family since a long time ago. If it weren't for Zhao Hai and Laura, then our Purcell Family would find it hard to survive that time. You fools, always living in your fantasies. Do you really expect the Radiant Church to help us? They just want an excuse to infiltrate our family and gain control. Even a fool can see it. But now you people really wanted this to happen, this is making me sad for the family."

Zhao Hai stared at the fuming Ruyen. He didn't expect Ruyen to take his side. But what she said was true, it seems like he had underestimated Ruyen, she's actually not just a fragile vase.
