Translator: 549690339
Ivan had not received any news about what had happened at the icksa family. After all, it had just happened, and the people there had blocked the news, so it was impossible for Ivan to know.
Zhao Hai went straight to the mayor’s mansion after he returned to Casar city. Ivan didn’t expect Zhao Hai to return so soon, but he knew Zhao Hai had a lot of secrets. He didn’t ask and invited Zhao Hai into the house.
After they sat down, Zhao Hai told Ivan about the situation with the icksa family. Ivan was shocked. Although the icksa family was not a Grand Duke, their family’s power was not much weaker than that of the Duchy of Versailles. Now, their family had almost been removed from the continent. The Church of Light was really ruthless this time.
Zhao Hai didn’t ask Ivan to spread the news immediately. He was waiting for Ivan’s reaction. He knew that Ivan couldn’t let go of his business in Versailles Duchy. The reason he said this was to tell Ivan that if he didn’t know what to do, he would end up like the ickas.
Zhao Hai had not given up on the idea of pulling the Versailles family into the Buda family. The Buda family was in desperate need of talents. As their business expanded, they would need more and more talents.
The people from the makidel family were helping to manage the Golden Island. In addition to their original business, they could not spare too many people to help the Buda family.
The Buda family did not have many people. Even though the ikosa family had joined them, one should not forget that they would soon have 100000 orc slaves joining them. Furthermore, Zhao Hai had ordered 100000 slaves from the slave market in Carson City. How many people would be needed to manage 200000 slaves that did not know anything? It was definitely not enough to rely on the slaves who had just learned to write and had just become civilians. They still needed management talents. If the Versailles family could join, he would be able to obtain a large number of talents.
However, the Versailles family’s situation was even more complicated than the icksa family’s. The Versailles family had already been infiltrated by the Church of Light. Hence, even though Zhao Hai wanted to pull the Versailles family under his banner, he had to be extremely careful.
When Ivan mentioned that the Versailles family also had loyal followers of the Church of Light, he didn’t mention how he would deal with them. It was obvious that he wasn’t prepared to deal with them. Perhaps Ivan wanted to leave himself a way out. If he really couldn’t handle it, he might decide to join the church of Light, and those people would be his guide.
Zhao Hai had told Ivan about the situation with the icksa family because he wanted him to know that the same situation with the icksa family would most likely happen with the Versailles family. He wanted them to give up on the Church of Light.
Ivan’s expression changed when he heard Zhao Hai’s words. He did not expect the Church of Light to be so ruthless. If the Church of Light did the same to him, what would happen to the Versailles family?
Zhao Hai did not say anything. He just sat there quietly and looked at Ivan. He wanted to see what Ivan would do. The situation was clear now. There would be a conflict between the Buda family and the Church of Light sooner or later. It all depended on the Versailles family’s choice.
Ivan was silent for a while. He was making a difficult decision in his heart. He knew that if he joined the Buda family, he would have to give up everything in the Versailles Duchy. The Versailles family would become the vassal race of the Buda family, and this was something Ivan could not accept.
However, if he turned to the Church of Light, he was afraid that the Church of Light would go back on their word and deal with him. At that time, he would not be able to get any benefits at all.
The most important thing was that this matter was not something he could decide alone. Although the power of his family in the Duchy of Versailles had increased a lot after that change, the strength of the elders ‘Union was still very strong. This matter still had to be decided by the elders’ Union in the end.
Zhao Hai looked at Ivan and knew he wouldn’t make a decision in a short time. He didn’t ask the Versailles family to spread the news to the continent because he knew that the Versailles family wouldn’t spread the news until he made a decision.
To be honest, Zhao Hai was a little disappointed with the Versailles family. The Versailles family was too overcautious. They were not even as straightforward as the icksa family when it came to Zhao Hai.
From the very beginning, the ivanza family had made it clear that they were supporting Zhao Hai. Although the Versailles family had also supported Zhao Hai from the start, they had always wanted to leave themselves a way out. They had always wanted to please both sides, which was almost impossible.
Zhao Hai sighed in his heart, but he said in a deep voice, ” “As uncle has something to deal with, I will not bother you anymore. I will stay nearby these days. If you have something to deal with, you can take a look in Laura’s former mansion. As long as you go there, I will know that you have something to deal with. I will come for you for sure. See you.”
Ivan didn’t expect Zhao Hai to leave just like that. He wanted Zhao Hai to stay, but he didn’t know what to say. In the end, he could only sigh and send Zhao Hai off.
