Chapter 473: Endurance! (Seeking Subscription)
Sitting on the carriage, Meigen huffed and said, "Brother Hai, why do you have to endure? Look at the carriage they arranged for you. What is this carriage? It's a carriage for servants, why did you even get on it?"
Zhao Hai looked at Meigen's indignant expression and smiled slightly, "Alright, don't be angry. Didn't you hear? That servant kept calling out my title, just wanted to remind me of my status. Hehe, the more angry I get, the prouder he becomes."
When Meigen heard Zhao Hai say this, she calmed down a bit. She turned and looked at Zhao Hai, "Brother Hai, are you really not angry at all?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, "What's the use of being angry? Even if we are unlucky today, just thinking about the expressions of those from the Robert family tomorrow makes me happy. Let's think about tomorrow's matters."
When Meigen heard Zhao Hai say this, she also smiled slightly. Zhao Hai continued, "Just endure a bit, there will definitely be more things later." Just as he was speaking, the carriage had already stopped.
When Zhao Hai and the others got off the carriage, they were stunned because it had stopped right in front of the banquet hall. Of course, that wasn't the main point; the main point was that there were many people standing in front of the banquet hall, and many attendees were looking at Zhao Hai with mocking smiles on their faces.
Terry stood at the front of these people, looking at Zhao Hai with a half-smile. When he saw Zhao Hai and the others get out of the carriage, Terry smiled and said, "Earl Budar, how is the carriage I arranged for you? There's no way around it; when hosting an earl, our Robert family can only use such a carriage."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, "It's great, thank you, Mr. Terry. I just didn't expect that the Robert family still has such a lean horse left. It seems life is tough for the Robert family too. Tomorrow, I will take the lead and gift the Robert family ten fine horses for pulling carriages, lest the Robert family be embarrassed in the future when they don't have enough horses."
When Terry heard Zhao Hai say this, his expression changed dramatically, becoming very unpleasant. He hadn't expected Zhao Hai to respond this way.
Originally, he intended to insult Zhao Hai in this manner, but unexpectedly, Zhao Hai's response made it seem as if the Robert family was the one that was poor.
Terry snorted coldly, "What kind of person we have in the Robert family reflects the kind of treatment we offer. For someone like Earl Budar, our family can only afford such treatment."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, "So it turns out the Robert family judges people by their status. I've learned something. Since I am so unworthy, I wonder why the Robert family sent me an invitation? Are you not afraid that someone like me would tarnish the Robert family's reputation? If that is the case, I suggest Mr. Terry consider demolishing this castle tomorrow, because now that I've been here, this castle has already been tainted by me."
Although Zhao Hai's words seemed to belittle himself, each sentence was laden with sarcasm. Moreover, the people present were not fools; many were aware of Terry's past actions, which was why no one had interacted with Meigen in recent years. Now, seeing Zhao Hai and Terry in such a confrontation, they felt it was quite amusing and satisfying.
Terry's face turned iron-gray, and with a cold snort, he turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, please proceed into the hall for the banquet." He then turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Earl Budar, please as well."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Terry. It's truly an honor for someone like me to be personally invited by you." After saying that, he led Meigen and the others into the hall, while Terry's expression was already completely dark.
The nobles who had followed Terry out to watch the spectacle indeed saw quite a show and were somewhat unsatisfied, but upon seeing Zhao Hai and Terry's demeanor, they understood that the hall would certainly be even more interesting, so they all entered the hall.
