Chapter 411

When Zhao Hai arrived at the restaurant, Smith was already waiting for him. When he saw Zhao Hai, Smith invited Zhao Hai to take a seat.

After Zhao Hai sat down, he immediately ordered the servants to place the tableware on the table. Smith said to Zhao Hai, ” &Quot; now that the matter has been settled, we just need to wait for our preparations to be complete. We can immediately make our move on Lai en. &Quot;

“That’s good. Is there anything I can do for you?” Zhao Hai nodded.

Smith smiled. &Quot; there’s no need for that. As long as we’re prepared, Duke Ryan won’t be able to escape. The Sheila family has already made contact with the royal family. As long as the royal family doesn’t object, everything will be fine. &Quot;

“That’s good,” Zhao Hai nodded,”but will the royal family of the Roson Empire agree? After all, he is an Archduke.”

Smith smiled and said,”so what if he’s the Grand Duke? can’t he be dealt with?” “As long as they have money, the Roson Empire would be willing to sell out even ten Dukes, let alone one. Moreover, Ryan has gone too far recently. The Roson Empire’s royal family has long disliked him. Even if the Sheila family didn’t do anything, the Roson Empire’s royal family would have done something to Ryan. Now that someone is offering money, all they want is a word from them. Of course, they would agree.”

Zhao Hai had actually asked this question on purpose. He had heard the conversation between Smith and Wanhao, but he didn’t want Smith and the others to know that he had heard it.

However, Zhao Hai still frowned and said, ” &Quot; Duke Ryan is a Duke after all. He has his own Duchy. If he runs back to his own Duchy and organizes an Army, it will be very troublesome. &Quot;

Smith smiled. &Quot; the money of the Sheila family is not wasted. If someone were to appear and accuse Grand Duke Ryan, the king and the Parliament will strip him of all his titles. He will no longer be a Duke. It will naturally be much easier to deal with him. &Quot;

Zhao Hai immediately understood Smith’s plan. It was indeed ruthless. They had asked the Roson Empire to remove Grand Duke Ryan from his title. This way, Grand Duke Ryan would not be able to mobilize the soldiers in his territory. By then, they could do whatever they wanted to him.

Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” however, Duke Ryan’s family is also a big family. They are not weak. Even if the Empire does not allow them to mobilize the soldiers of the Duchy, their family has private soldiers. Those private soldiers are not weak. &Quot;

“Little hai, have you forgotten what we do?” Smith smiled. We’re black Mages. Aren’t you looking down on us if you have more people than us?”

Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; I really forgot. But this is better. If there’s anything you need me to do, you must let me know. &Quot;

Smith nodded. This time, he really didn’t plan to let Zhao Hai take action. He just wanted Zhao Hai to see the power of the kalchi family.

In the next few days, the Roson Empire was very peaceful. However, they heard that Duke Ryan had returned to his own Duchy to handle some matters. This was also within Zhao Hai’s expectations. Duke Ryan was not an idiot. When he realized that he had failed to deal with melgen, he guessed that the kalci family would definitely find out that he was the one who did it. Now, just as Zhao Hai had said, he was ready to run back to his own territory and make his last stubborn resistance.

What Zhao Hai did not know was that Ryan had no other choice. After he found out that melgen’s kidnapping failed, he immediately went to the king of the Rosen Empire. He wanted the king to come forward and talk to the carci family. He was willing to pay the price to let this matter go.

However, Leon did not expect that the king of the Roson Empire would not agree to it. Instead, his attitude towards him was very cold. This made Leon realize that something was wrong. He knew that the king might have given up on him. Thus, he immediately dressed lightly and ran back to his fief from Carson City.

His reaction was not slow. If he was a little slower, he would not even have the chance to run, because at this time, the carci family and the Sheila family had already mobilized their forces to deal with him.

Almost everyone in the entire Roson Empire knew about this matter, but they had also received benefits from the Sheila family, so no one spoke out. They just quietly watched Ryan make a fool of himself. They wanted to get some benefits from Ryan after he fell.

If Ryan fell, then his fief would become ownerless. At that time, it would be divided by the big nobles. Now that they had received benefits from the Sheila family, and Ryan had offended the kalci family this time, the big nobles would naturally not care about Ryan.

Zhao Hai had been watching all this from the side. He knew that he could not participate in this operation. The great nobles were all waiting for their share of the benefits with red eyes. If he were to participate now, he might not even get a share of the benefits. In any case, he would not have a good ending.

However, Zhao Hai didn’t shut himself up. Three days after meeting Wanhao and the others, he sent over 100000 catties of vegetables to them. These vegetables were all sent to Sheila hotel. How Sheila hotel would split them was up to them.

But this time, Zhao Hai did not bring any hunchbacked fish for Wanhao and the others. Hunchbacked fish were very troublesome. Zhao Hai planned to wait until the storm was over and he had gotten himself a boat before sending them the hunchbacked fish. This way, it would not be too strange. One had to know that the spatial equipment on the mainland could not store living things. If Wanhao and the others saw Zhao Hai take out a living hunchbacked fish from his spatial equipment, they would definitely be shocked.

The action of the Sheila family and the carci family was very fast. They were fully prepared after only seven days of preparation. Then, the carci family came forward to accuse Grand Duke Ryan of using assassination means against the carci family, which violated the laws of the empire.

Almost all the nobles laughed when they heard the kalci family’s accusation. It was not that the Roson Empire did not have such a law. On the contrary, the Roson Empire did have such a law, but no one had ever respected it. What could they do if there was enmity between two nobles and they did not want to resolve it openly? Assassination was the most commonly used method, so almost no one would abide by this law.

Now that the kalci family brought up this law to talk about it, it was clearly an excuse. However, the nobles also knew what was going on. This meant that the carci family was going to make a move on Duke Ryan.

Everyone was watching the show from the side without saying a word. The king also accepted the kalchi family’s accusation against Grand Duke Ryan at the first moment. Then, he immediately convened a meeting and pronounced the Grand Duke Ryan guilty in the shortest time possible. He was stripped of all his duties and titles. From the day of the sentence, he could no longer consider himself a noble, and it was impossible for him to mobilize a single soldier in his Duchy.

At the same time as the judgment was made, the Sheila family and the kalchi family took action. In just three days, all the forces of Grand Duke Ryan outside were wiped out. What was strange was that the Sheila family and the carci family did not encounter any decent resistance.

This made the Sheila family and the carci family feel very strange. They did not know what Duke Ryan was doing. Could it be that he had given up on resisting? No way. According to Grand Duke Ryan’s personality, he was definitely a crazy family. It was impossible for him to give up resistance.

However, the two families did not think too much about it. They immediately rushed into Duke Ryan’s territory and surrounded his original Duke’s mansion. Just as they were about to take action, the mansion suddenly burst into flames. It did not go out for a long time. When the mages of the two families put out the fire and rushed into the mansion, they found that the entire mansion had been burned down. They could not even find the secret passage of the mansion. The Duke’s family had mysteriously disappeared!

The disappearance of Duke Ryan caused an uproar in the entire Roson Empire. They did not expect that Duke Ryan would play such a beautiful trick. He had played the Sheila family and the karci family. Most importantly, no one on the continent knew where they had gone.

No one knew except for Zhao Hai. He had sent an Eagle to keep an eye on Duke Ryan’s territory the moment he returned. Although Zhao Hai didn’t want to get involved in this matter, he knew that he had a huge grudge against Duke Ryan. If Duke Ryan escaped, he would be in trouble in the future. Therefore, he looked at Duke Ryan and said, I can’t let him escape.

While he was monitoring Grand Duke Ryan, he discovered that Grand Duke Ryan was in contact with the Church of Light. Moreover, the Church of Light was the one who had assisted him in his escape.

Although the Church of Light was weak in the Roson Empire, it was not to be forgotten that they had almost become the largest organization on the continent. The most important thing was that the Roson Empire had never allowed the Church of Light to enter. Therefore, they thought that the Church of Light was weak in the Roson Empire and could not do anything. They did not expect that the Church of Light would do such a big thing right under their noses.

This time, the Church of Light had sent a total of six grade-8 mages to receive Grand Duke Ryan. At the same time, they had also dispatched many of their secret agents in the Rossen Empire to participate in the operation. It was with the help of these secret agents that Grand Duke Ryan was able to leave his territory without anyone noticing.

Zhao Hai had been watching them all this time. However, he did not stop Ryan when he contacted the Church of Light. He did not stop Duke Ryan when he was rescued either. This was because he wanted to use the Church of Light’s actions this time to figure out the strength of the church in the Roson Empire.

The Church of Light was really powerful in the Roson Empire. There were at least tens of thousands of people in the dark, and these people were from all walks of life. Some of them were even small nobles, making it difficult for people to discover their identities.

However, Zhao Hai did not understand why the church of Light would spend so much effort to help Leon. Was it only because of his wealth?
