Chapter 536: The Tragedy of the Versailles Family (Seeking Subscriptions)
The werewolf tribe was not wealthy, so when they discovered such a good opportunity, they certainly would not let it slip away. Now they really felt very regretful; they regretted why they had initially agreed with Zhao Hai on a deal for one billion pounds of breadfruit. Upon hearing that a war was about to break out, they only had three hundred million pounds left. If they had kept all one billion, they would have struck it rich.
However, it was too late for regrets now. They still made a small profit. But the biggest gain went to Atai. He not only established formal contact with the Li Tiger Tribe but also introduced breadfruit, this new grain. In the future, it would surely be very popular among the orc tribe.
Zhao Hai also noticed this situation. Although he still had tens of thousands of breadfruits stored in his space, he did not plan to take them out just yet. If he did, the orc tribe would not attack the human race at all, and right now Zhao Hai needed this war with the orc tribe.
It wasn’t that Zhao Hai harbored hatred; rather, he did not want to clean up the mess for the church of light. This situation was caused by the church of light. Although the war would lead to many civilians losing their lives, those debts could be laid at the feet of the church of light, and he had nothing to do with it.
He was an enemy of the church of light, and since he was not a saint, he certainly would not help them. This war starting was still very beneficial for him.
There wasn’t anything noteworthy happening with the orcs, so Zhao Hai began to focus on the Versailles Principality. He was observing not only the Versailles Family but also others within the Versailles Principality. He wanted to see if the church of light had indeed sent spies into the Versailles Principality as he imagined.
Now the functions of his space had become very powerful. Zhao Hai had collected quite a bit of maps of the continent, at least including the one of the Versailles Principality, so monitoring the Versailles Principality became very easy for him.
After two days of surveillance, Zhao Hai indeed found some members of the church of light. These people were all experts, though not at the ninth level; ninth-level experts were not something you could find everywhere. Although the church of light had trained quite a few over the years, they couldn’t just send them out casually.
This time, the church of light sent people who were all at the eighth level, along with some seventh and sixth-level members, totaling around two thousand, with about five hundred at the eighth level. From this, one could see the strength of the church of light.
In addition to these people, Zhao Hai also discovered that heavy troops from families surrounding the Versailles Principality had gathered. As soon as something happened in the Versailles Principality, they could rush right in.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai understood that the Aksu Empire had never intended to let the Versailles Family go. They wanted to use the orc tribe to wipe the Versailles Family off the continent.
Upon realizing this, a hint of a mocking smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Hai’s mouth. He was mocking the elders of the Versailles Principality. They had risked the entire Versailles Family for a small benefit.
Fortunately, there were still two clever individuals in the Versailles Family; at least Ivan and Ryan's decisions were quite correct. Zhao Hai also knew that those elders might not all be seeking personal gain. They were likely also thinking of the Versailles Family's well-being. However, they truly underestimated the church of light, which led to such mistakes.
The elders of the Versailles Family might have their selfish motives, but they were not fools. They understood that the reason they were being noticed was due to their connection with the Versailles Family. It was the existence of the Versailles Family that provided them with everything they had today. If the Versailles Family disappeared, they would be nothing.
