Chapter 503: Alliance of Three Families (Seeking Subscription)
The person floating in the sky was a warrior, dressed in a black warrior robe, with a long sword on his back. This sword was truly long, even extending beyond his height, resembling more of a spear than a sword.
This person had dark skin, resembling a Black man, but his hair was golden, creating an indescribable oddity. He had a long scar across his face, running from his right eye to the corner of his left mouth, and his right eye was completely ruined, covered by a black eyepatch.
Fearsome! This person gave off an impression of brutality at first glance! Zhao Hai held a wine cup and looked at him, smiling slightly, “Is this gentleman here to attend my wedding? How about joining me for a drink?”
The ninth-level expert did not expect Zhao Hai to respond in such a manner. He was momentarily stunned, then snorted coldly, “What are you? How dare you talk to me like this? Hand over Laura and Klein, and I’ll spare your life!”
Zhao Hai looked at the man and smiled, “I am Zhao Hai Budah. Laura is my wife, and Klein is my father-in-law. Sir, you are on my territory, shouting threats at my wife and father-in-law—it seems inappropriate, doesn’t it?”
The ninth-level expert appeared extremely angry and grunted, “What right do you have to negotiate with me, brat? I am only speaking to you out of consideration for my noble status. Hurry up and hand over Laura and Klein, or else, you will die!”
Zhao Hai calmly regarded the ninth-level expert and smiled slightly, “No need to be angry, sir. You’re just a pawn. Call out your remaining eight companions; there’s no need for you to perform alone here.”
Upon hearing this, the ninth-level expert and the nobles present were both stunned. The ninth-level expert did not expect Zhao Hai to know how many people had come this time, while the nobles did not realize that Zhao Hai was aware there were still several ninth-level experts yet to reveal themselves.
The ninth-level expert looked at Zhao Hai and suddenly laughed heartily, “Good, what an interesting young man! I didn’t expect that after so long without using tactics, we’d be seen through by you in one glance. Young man, you are impressive, but unfortunately, you must die today!”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, “Who will die is still uncertain.” After saying this, he waved his hand, and suddenly, ten figures flew up from around Golden Island. The people in Flower Fortress could not see clearly, but the ninth-level expert could see that there were indeed more than ten figures rising, all of which were ninth-level experts, and all were magical beasts.
The one-eyed ninth-level expert was momentarily stunned, then his expression changed. He looked deeply at Zhao Hai, then flicked his hand, sending a sword qi directly toward Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai did not move at all, yet a sharp scream echoed through the air, and a burst of golden light collided with the sword qi, causing it to dissipate immediately. The one-eyed ninth-level expert’s expression changed again, and he turned to flee. At the same time, eight more ninth-level experts appeared in the sky, flying outside the island.
When Zhao Hai saw they had all fled, he turned to the crowd and smiled slightly, “Everyone, don’t panic. Come, let’s drink.” He then began to toast with Laura and the others, but the nobles present did not dare to slack off at all, as they understood that the ninth-level expert would not retreat without reason; he must have been frightened away. Moreover, that burst of golden light could withstand the attack of a ninth-level expert, which meant that the person who released it was also a ninth-level expert, and one on Zhao Hai’s side, prompting the nobles to reassess the strength of the Budah family.
The nobles ate tastelessly, while Zhao Hai continued to toast them with a smile. No one could tell that anything was amiss in the square.
After a while, Zhao Hai finished toasting everyone and stood on the wedding stage, addressing the numerous nobles: “Everyone, please enjoy your meal without worry. What happened just now was merely a small trouble, which the Budah family has already resolved. Please take a look here.” After saying this, he moved his hand, and an undead being appeared beside him, which was the ninth-level expert who had just appeared in the sky, still carrying that long sword on his back.
