In the eyes of these nobles, Zhao Hai's words were not meant to invade the Leon Empire; that was simply impossible. How could a person face such a great temptation of power from a king without a hint of ambition?
Thus, in the eyes of these nobles, Zhao Hai was clearly trying to play both sides, wanting to be a whore while also wanting to set up a memorial arch. So, they immediately pledged their loyalty to Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai showed no expression and just glanced at these nobles, saying, “Remember this, don’t play tricks with me. Don’t think that the Dragon Clan can save you. Do you really believe those from the Dragon Clan can deal with hundreds of thousands of level nine undead beings? So you’d better be honest and not make me unhappy. Any schemes or tricks are futile in the face of absolute strength. Don’t let a momentary thought put your entire family in danger; remember my words!”
After finishing, Zhao Hai moved, and he and the undead beings behind him almost simultaneously vanished.
Zhao Hai did not intend to stay long in the Leon Empire; he needed to prepare for the trip to Aklaya Mountain tomorrow. At the same time, he wanted to observe the reactions of these nobles. He believed that today’s events would spread throughout the continent in the shortest time possible, and he was curious about how the other empires would respond after learning about it.
The reason Zhao Hai chose to display his strength this time was to prepare for the future. After dealing with the Dragon Clan, he would talk to the emperors about the divine race. If his strength wasn't sufficient, he feared they wouldn't believe him. Therefore, he needed to showcase his strength to let those who understood it know that he was not someone to be trifled with.
After exterminating the Dragon Clan, his next target would be the church of light. This time, with Zhao Hai demonstrating his power and immediately preparing to confront the Dragon Clan, the church of light would certainly suspect that he had discovered their plans, and they might take immediate action. Thus, Zhao Hai planned to explain to several human emperors why he was targeting the church of light right after dealing with the Dragon Clan. Otherwise, those human emperors might hinder his efforts.
The human emperors would watch as Zhao Hai eliminated the Dragon Clan because the Dragon Clan was too powerful and posed a threat to their rule. However, the same reasoning applies; after Zhao Hai defeated the Dragon Clan, the human empires would shift their wariness from the Dragon Clan to Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai acted against the church of light at that time, they would think he intended to conquer the continent with his own strength. At that point, they would definitely join forces against him, and even the king of the Roson Empire would do the same. For an emperor, any existence that could threaten their rule was considered an enemy that must be eliminated, regardless of whether that person was their son-in-law or their son.
Thus, before Zhao Hai dealt with the church of light, he had to handle his relationships with the kings of these major empires well; he did not want to become an enemy of the entire human race.
When Zhao Hai returned to the space, Laura and the others looked at him with a peculiar gaze, which left Zhao Hai momentarily stunned. Confused, he looked at them and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? It’s strange.”
Laura chuckled at Zhao Hai’s expression and said, “Brother Hai, I really didn’t expect you to be so domineering sometimes. But you look really cool when you’re being domineering!” Meigen and the others also burst into laughter.
Zhao Hai rolled his eyes helplessly and turned to Galen and Kun Zheng, saying, “Grandpa Galen, Grandpa Kun Zheng, has the letter to my father-in-law been sent out?”
The father-in-law Zhao Hai referred to was the king of the Roson Empire. He knew that this matter would soon spread, so he wanted to send a letter to the king. Although he couldn't explain anything in the letter right now, he intended to inform the king that he would provide an explanation after dealing with the divine race.
