Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World

Chapter 208: Xu Wanying's Shock

Zhao Hai did not pay any attention to Xu Wanying. He turned to Galen and said, “Grandpa Galen, it seems that our previous speculation was correct. They really intend to encircle and attack. It looks like once we return, the alarm at Rubble Mountain can be lifted.”

Galen nodded and turned to Xu Wanying, “Xu Wanying, was it the Magedel family that hired you this time?”

Xu Wanying nodded and said, “That's right. This time I was hired by the fifth young master Carlo of the Magedel family. The assassin just now was also sent by Carlo to me. My main task was to attract the master's attention so that the assassin could take action against the master. Please forgive me, Master.”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “At that time, we were enemies, and our positions were different, so it doesn’t matter. Just call me young master from now on; I don’t like being called master.” Xu Wanying responded, feeling relieved in his heart. He was genuinely afraid that Zhao Hai would hold this against him. Now that he had taken the blood oath to become Zhao Hai’s slave, Zhao Hai had the right to deal with him, and that was his greatest concern.

Zhao Hai didn’t notice Xu Wanying’s emotions. In any case, they would be buying slaves in the future, and since Xu Wanying had taken the blood oath, such a slave would be more loyal than one that was bought, so Zhao Hai regarded Xu Wanying with some trust.

Zhao Hai continued to Galen, “It seems the Magedel family is indeed going to take action. That assassin might not necessarily be from the Magedel family; he could just be Carlo's man. This might be a test, and the real attack is still to come.”

Galen nodded and said, “Maybe Carlo is unwilling to let such a juicy piece of meat slip to the family, so he wants to make one last effort. Anyway, the people he sent this time, apart from that assassin, aren’t real experts. And Xu Wanying is someone he paid for; for Carlo, that amount of money is nothing.”

Zhao Hai nodded and sneered, “Let him send whoever he wants. Let him hire whoever he wishes. I want to see just how much money he can spend. Just wait; once we take care of him this time, I’ll have Laura take over all the businesses in the Aksu Empire. As for the Magedel family, hmph, if they provoke us, they shouldn't expect to do well.”

Galen sneered, “The Magedel family has been in the limelight for too long; they really think of themselves as a character. What kind of family is the Versailles Family? They are a genuine old noble family, with their own principality and army. Can the Magedel family compare to that? Moreover, over the years, the Magedel family has offended many people, and those people are itching to find trouble with them. At this point, they actually dare to offend us and go against the Versailles Family. They are truly seeking death. After this incident, even if the Magedel family doesn't perish, they'll be skinned alive. It just depends on how much benefit we can gain from it.”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “We don’t need to think about the benefits for ourselves; let those benefits go to Laura and Ivan. This way, they can be more closely connected to us. Hehe, besides, we don’t have anyone to take those benefits, do we?”

Galen nodded and said, “That’s fine. Hehe, as long as the young master marries Laura, that will be a double benefit.”

Zhao Hai helplessly said to Galen, “Grandpa Galen, don’t say such things; it makes it sound like we are after Laura's wealth.”

Galen laughed and said, “What do we want their wealth for? Laura is what she is today largely thanks to us. Others may not know, but she is very clear about it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t value you so much. By the way, young master, should we send a message to Miss Laura to ease her worries?”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Let’s wait until we return to Rubble Mountain before writing a letter to Miss Laura. For now, let’s go back and check the situation.”
