Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World

Chapter 183: House Arrest

Just as Laura was about to say something, Klein waved his hand to interrupt her, saying, "Your father has always been cautious in this life, afraid of being harmed by your grandpa and Madam. So, without any accomplishments in literature or martial arts, I would never achieve anything significant, let alone avenge your grandmother. But you, my daughter, are different. You have shown exceptional business talent from a young age, and with Uncle Kun Zheng's guidance, you already have that capability. Now you have established a foothold in the Versailles Principality, but don’t forget, before we met Mr. Zhao Hai, we had no right to challenge the family members. The Versailles Principality would not offend the Magedel family for our sake."

Klein's eyes sparkled with wisdom as he continued, "But now the situation is different. Mr. Zhao Hai has grain in hand and can completely influence the grain prices in the Versailles Principality. Moreover, he has great merit towards the Versailles Family and is a powerful mage. For all these reasons, the Versailles Family will definitely try to ally with him. Do you think the Versailles Family is treating us so favorably now because you helped them? I do not deny that there is such a reason, but more is due to our relationship with Mr. Zhao Hai. The great nobles do not concern themselves with kindness; they only care about interests."

Kun Zheng and Laura looked at Klein in shock. They had never expected that Klein, who usually seemed focused solely on magic circle research, could analyze matters so coherently and reasonably.

Seeing their expressions, Klein smiled wryly and said, "Alright, I’ll just say this much. You two figure it out. Laura, this is not only an opportunity to connect with the Versailles Family and Mr. Zhao Hai but also a chance to completely sever ties with the Magedel family. Although the Magedel family is powerful, after all, they are just a business family. The means they can use are limited to business. In other areas, they are quite weak. Moreover, don’t forget, there are many business families on this continent, not just the Magedel family. Over the years, the Magedel family has offended many people while expanding their business. If they suffer significant losses, those they have wronged won’t let this opportunity pass. If the Versailles Family is a piece of fat meat, then isn’t the Magedel family an even bigger piece?"

Kun Zheng and Laura had indeed never considered this point. They always thought of the Magedel family as a huge monster that was not to be provoked, forgetting that the bigger the monster, the stronger its adversaries. If something went wrong, they might suffer even worse than the smaller fish.

Klein looked at them and said, "There's one more thing I need to tell you. Although I have been studying mages these days, I also know quite a few alchemists and potion makers. These people may not seem significant, but they also have masters and brothers. If they really mobilize, their power is not small. If you ever need my help, just let me know. I don’t understand or want to know about business matters; you can handle that yourselves."

After speaking, Klein stood up and ruffled Laura's hair, saying, "Don’t worry about anything. No matter how strong the Magedel family is, they cannot control my daughter. Now that we have left that trouble spot, what is there to fear? Just go ahead, Dad supports you." After finishing, he turned to leave, saying as he walked away, "That magic circle just now seemed to have a flaw; I need to go back and check." With that, he disappeared from the study.

Laura watched Klein's back with moist eyes, and only after he completely vanished into the darkness did she wipe her face and turn to Kun Zheng, saying, "Grandpa Kun Zheng, arrange for me to meet Oroja tomorrow. I will give him one last warning. If he still refuses to listen, don’t blame me for being impolite."

Kun Zheng nodded, looking pleased as he said, "All this time, I thought the second young master didn’t understand these matters at all, but it turns out he is very clear about it. Haha, no wonder the Master let us into the Versailles Principality. I thought it was because he had completely lost hope in the young master, but it seems it was the young master who requested it himself. What a clever move! The Magedel family’s influence here in the Versailles Principality is the weakest. As long as we make a name for ourselves here, the Magedel family won’t be able to do anything about it. Haha, great, wonderful."
