Mr. Zhao Hai sat calmly in a deck chair, which he had intentionally created. Next to the chair was a small table with a cup of tea on it. Zhao Hai held a book in his hand, looking as if he was enjoying a leisurely moment.
This deck chair was made using his staff, and he always found it very comfortable. Now that it was ready, he could sit in it and let the people from the otherworldly divine race know that he wasn't worried about the previous incident.
Laura and the others weren't standing outside; instead, Xiao Bingya and his companions respectfully stood to the side. The three of them now held even more respect for Mr. Zhao Hai than before. They never expected him to possess such a magical space, and to be honest, they longed to move everyone from their clan into that space.
At that moment, a smile unexpectedly appeared on Zhao Hai's face. The book he was reading was merely about magic circles and wasn't anything extraordinary. The reason he was reading it was to show it to the three clan leaders of the otherworldly divine race.
Zhao Hai smiled because he knew that the three clan leaders had arrived. However, he did not get up, remaining half-reclined in his chair with the book in hand, as if he were completely unaware of their arrival.
Before long, a group of people flew down from the sky. Xiao Bingya shot a glance at them and turned to Zhao Hai, saying, "Sir, they are here." This was something Zhao Hai had informed them about in advance.
Zhao Hai had never intended to take revenge on the otherworldly divine race for the previous incident. He only wanted to teach them a lesson, and there was no need to hold a grudge. After all, Zhao Hai still needed to cooperate with them. Until his objectives were achieved, he wouldn't do anything excessive. Once those objectives were met, however, it would be a different story.
Zhao Hai placed the book on the small table, stood up, and looked in the direction where the three clans from the otherworldly divine race were flying in. They were already very close now. Zhao Hai waved his hand, and the darkness king immediately took off toward the group.
Soon, Zhao Hai reached the otherworldly divine race. Leading the group were three individuals, with a lion person standing in the center, a dwarf to his left, and an elven woman to his right.
The three were sizing up Zhao Hai, and he was observing them in return. Neither side spoke for a while, until the lion man slightly bowed his body, as if there was a steel plate hidden at his waist and bending even a centimeter would be quite arduous. He merely inclined his body slightly and said to Zhao Hai, "Beast God Clan Leader Yage greets Mr. Zhao Hai."
In contrast, the dwarf was quite polite. He bowed and said, "Dwarven Divine Race Lahualdoril greets Mr. Zhao Hai." The elven woman also bowed, saying, "Yelduo greets Mr. Zhao Hai." The attitude of this elven queen was a bit stronger than that of the beast god clan leader but slightly weaker than that of the dwarf clan leader, leaving Zhao Hai unsure of her intentions.
From the attitudes of the three, Zhao Hai could tell that they were more close to him, but he didn't feel any particular fondness for the dwarf clan leader. It was impossible to divide the three otherworldly divine races now.
Zhao Hai also bowed slightly and said, "Zhao Hai greets you three. I didn't expect the three of you to come in person. Please come aboard for some drinks."
After saying this, Zhao Hai stepped aside and invited them onto the ship. The three exchanged glances with Zhao Hai, nodded, and boarded the darkness king. Once on board, Zhao Hai waved his hand lightly, and chairs appeared on the deck.
He invited them to sit down, and the door to his cabin opened. Laura and the others came out, each carrying a tray filled with food and drinks.
Seeing this, the three clan leaders from the otherworldly divine race were taken aback; it was obvious that everything had been prepared in advance. They couldn't help but glance at Xiao Houya and the others, who lightly shook their heads. The expressions on the three leaders' faces became heavy as they turned back to Zhao Hai.
