Chapter 535: The Popular Breadfruit (Seeking Subscription)
Zhao Hai and Wanhao entered the exclusive lounge for Wanhao in the hotel. Although this hotel had just been built not long ago, the lounge was still decorated quite luxuriously, even better than that in Tianshui City.
After the two sat down, Wanhao looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “Little Hai, what brings you here today? Do you have something on your mind?”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “Actually, I do have something I need your Shelley Family's help with.”
Wanhao chuckled and said, “No need to be so polite, just speak up. You don’t need to hold back with us, just tell me what it is.”
Zhao Hai smiled, “Hehe, you’ll know once you take a look.” After saying this, he took out a stack of papers and handed them to Wanhao. This stack detailed matters concerning the Iksa Family, and it was something Zhao Hai had prepared earlier.
Wanhao took the stack of papers and began to read it carefully. As he read on, his expression grew increasingly serious. Wanhao was a smart man who had grown up in a prominent family like the Shelley Family, and he was very familiar with such conflicts. However, what the Church of Light was doing this time was indeed a bit much.
Although the stack only documented the matters related to the Iksa Family, Wanhao could already deduce that there must also be problems in the Aksu Empire; otherwise, such a situation wouldn’t have arisen. If this were the case, the problem would be even greater.
After a long while, Wanhao finally put down the stack of papers and looked up at Zhao Hai, “Is this true? What response has the Aksu Empire given?”
Zhao Hai sighed and said, “Of course it’s true. I have already helped the Iksa Family escape and arranged for them to go to a very safe place. The Aksu Empire has not shown any reaction, not only that, but they are also currently arranging to deal with the Versailles Family. They’ve bribed some elders of the Versailles Family, preventing them from cooperating with our Budah Family. So, I suspect the Aksu Empire has already been controlled by the Church of Light.”
Zhao Hai’s analysis matched Wanhao’s own, so Wanhao nodded in agreement.
Wanhao looked at Zhao Hai and asked, “So what do you mean by this?”
Zhao Hai snorted and said, “The Church of Light is getting too arrogant. They dare to openly control a major empire like this; who knows what they might do next? I have already given this information to my father-in-law, and in a few days, it will spread throughout the continent. At that time, the Magedel Family will also help release the news. I hope the Shelley Family can assist in spreading the word as well, so that everyone on the continent knows what the Church of Light is up to.”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai say this, Wanhao's eyes brightened. He looked at Zhao Hai with a meaningful glance, “Good, Little Hai, we’ll help with this.”
Wanhao agreed so readily because the Church of Light had also been suppressing the Shelley Family recently. Although the Shelley Family held their ground and wasn’t afraid of the Church of Light, they still couldn’t do much against them. They couldn’t deal with the Church of Light the same way they had with Duke Ryan.
Zhao Hai laughed heartily, “Great! Then it’s settled. Prepare a bit; make sure you send the news out soon. When it's time to act, I will have Grandpa Kun Zheng notify you.”
Wanhao nodded, “Alright, it’s settled then. By the way, why don’t you stay for a drink? What do you say?”
Zhao Hai shook his head, “No need. I have some matters to attend to and will be leaving Golden Island shortly, so there’s no need for you to be polite.”
Wanhao nodded, “Alright, since you have things to do, I won’t hold you back. Next time you come back, you must drink a couple with me.” Zhao Hai smiled and nodded, then turned to leave, while Wanhao escorted him to the carriage before returning to the hotel.
After entering the hotel and greeting some familiar guests, Wanhao returned to his room, drafting a long letter detailing the situation regarding the Iksa Family and Zhao Hai’s request. He quickly dispatched someone to send it to the headquarters of the Shelley Family, eager to know their response to this matter.
