Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

Chapter 465: Brother's Thoughts
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and smiled slightly, saying, "Your highness, don't worry, I will be careful. If this continues to develop, more prominent families will join in, and your highness's hope of attaining that high position will get smaller and smaller. I want those who follow the grand prince to understand that, even if they belong to a thousand-year family, they are not invincible."
Zhao Hai's words were bold, but he spoke with such determination that it sent a shiver through those who heard it, causing their blood to flow faster.
This was not an exaggeration at all, as the target of Zhao Hai's confrontation was a thousand-year family. A thousand-year family represented the pinnacle of power on the continent, and even ordinary royal families dared not offend them, as there were very few dynasties that had lasted a thousand years, but many thousand-year families, which indicated a significant issue.
Now, Zhao Hai was openly declaring war on a thousand-year family, which was enough to make one's blood boil. Charlie looked at Zhao Hai and suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "Good, Little Hai, go ahead and do it. It’s not our style to be hit without fighting back; go and beat him up."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and replied, "Your highness, you don’t need to worry about this matter. What’s most important for you now is to clean up your manor properly. Otherwise, I’m genuinely concerned about your safety."
Charlie laughed and said, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen. But this matter cannot just be let go; the face has already been torn. I won’t hold back anymore; let’s see what happens next."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "That's good. Your highness, it’s getting late; I have to head back. I might not have time to come over these days."
Charlie nodded and said, "Okay, you get busy, but remember to come and visit me when you have time." Zhao Hai smiled and nodded, stood up, said goodbye to Lily, and prepared to leave.
Lily watched Zhao Hai as he was about to leave. Suddenly, she stood up and asked, "Mr. Zhao Hai, will you attend the New Year’s palace banquet?"
Zhao Hai was taken aback; he really hadn’t expected Lily to ask this. He shook his head and replied, "No, someone of my status is not qualified to attend the palace banquet. Besides, I don’t like attending banquets."
Charlie glanced at Zhao Hai with deep meaning, then smiled slightly and said, "If you want to go, it’s not a problem. I can take you; how about it? Will you go?"
Zhao Hai looked at Charlie, then at Lily, and gently shook his head, saying, "Forget it, I don’t know many people there, and it would be very boring. Moreover, I really don’t like attending banquets."
Charlie nodded and replied, "Alright, then don’t go. You go back first. Come and play when you have time." Zhao Hai nodded and led Laura and the others away.
Lily looked at Laura and Meigen following Zhao Hai and suddenly felt a bit envious. Charlie noticed Lily's expression and sighed inwardly. Nevertheless, he said, "Little Hai is truly exceptional. It seems he will have more wives in the future. He is the heir of the Budah family, and now he is the only descendant of the Budah family; he will definitely marry many wives to spread his lineage."
Charlie said this intentionally because he had noticed that ever since Zhao Hai saved Lily, she seemed to have developed some inexplicable feelings for him. Charlie knew that if this sentiment continued to develop, it would eventually become love. Therefore, he deliberately said this to make Lily lose hope, as he knew very well that Lily was very proud and would never agree to share her husband with other women.
Zhao Hai was already engaged, so Lily couldn’t say anything, but if Zhao Hai wanted to take other wives in the future, Lily would definitely not agree. Charlie's intention was to make Lily understand that Zhao Hai might have more wives in the future.
Sure enough, upon hearing Charlie's words, Lily's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. However, Charlie knew that Lily had taken his words to heart.
