Chapter 120: Discussion on Cooperation (2)
Laura's gaze fell upon the magic radish, and her eyes involuntarily narrowed. She had seen countless magic radishes before, but this was the first time she had encountered one of such high quality.
Kun Zheng also stared at the radish, but his mind was more focused on Zhao Hai. Just a moment ago, Zhao Hai had made a simple gesture, and a magic radish appeared in his hand. What did this represent? It indicated that Zhao Hai possessed a spatial equipment.
Spatial equipment is not something just anyone can have; currently, only some of the major powers on the continent possess such equipment. The entire Magedel family only has one piece of spatial equipment, which is a Spatial Bag, and it has always been carried closely by the clan leader. It is said to have an area of one hundred cubic meters, which is quite considerable on the continent.
Spatial equipment represents more than just a tool; it is a symbol of status and strength. Without a superior status, one cannot obtain spatial equipment, and without great strength, having spatial equipment would not ensure one's safety. Thus, when Kun Zheng saw Zhao Hai take out the radish, he was taken aback.
Realizing that Zhao Hai might have spatial equipment, Kun Zheng was even more convinced of Zhao Hai's identity. He believed that Zhao Hai was definitely a representative of some underground power; otherwise, he wouldn't have spatial equipment and couldn't have gathered so many firefly fish in such a short time.
At the same time, Kun Zheng was more determined to cooperate with Zhao Hai. He was very clear about their current situation. Although they were from the Magedel family and Klein was even the second heir, their current predicament was not good.
The Magedel family was too large, and Klein had never managed his own influence before, so he was weak within the family. They needed a strong ally.
Laura picked up the radish on the table, examined it closely, then set it down and looked up at Zhao Hai, "Are the magic radishes in your hand all of this quality?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and replied, "They're all the same, even the size is consistent. Please rest assured, Miss Laura, I intend to cooperate with you long-term, not just a one-off deal."
Suddenly, Laura stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhao. I have a proposal: I would like you to formally become an ally of the Magedel family. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai quickly stood up and helped Laura up, saying, "Miss Laura, there's no need for such formality. Forming an alliance with the Magedel family is not possible, but I'm indeed interested in an alliance with you. What do you think?"
Laura and Kun Zheng were both taken aback by Zhao Hai's statement. Just moments ago, Laura had suggested that Zhao Hai ally with the Magedel family and hadn't mentioned allying with herself, fearing that Zhao Hai might find her influence too small. They did not expect Zhao Hai to take the initiative to propose an alliance with her instead of the Magedel family.
This made both Laura and Kun Zheng happy, but they also felt a sense of confusion. They had seen the radishes on the table, and the quality could be considered top-notch. Regardless of who they cooperated with, the other party would offer them the best terms, so why would Zhao Hai choose them?
Laura stared at Zhao Hai and calmly asked, "Why do you want to ally with me? If you allied with the Majidel Trading Company, you would receive greater benefits."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, "Miss Laura, business is about familiarity. I know you, but I'm not familiar with the people of the Magedel family. I've also heard the saying that 'a big shop bullies its customers.' Although I don't have many valuable items, I have enough. I can't rest easy cooperating with the Magedel family."
Upon hearing this, and thinking of the dense firefly fish outside, Laura and Kun Zheng understood. Those firefly fish represented coins, but they also posed a risk. If Zhao Hai sought to cooperate with a large family right away, he could be devoured whole.
