<h4>Chapter 191 - Within Two Days</h4>


    Zhao Hai sat in the Spatial Vi’s living room. Standing behind him was Zhao En . He was once called Raeen before, but his name was changed to Zhao En.


    Zhao Hai didn’t want to ask him about anything else since Raeen had already told Zhao Hai what he needed to know. Zhao Hai now understood the strength behind Carlo, as well as his goal.


    Markey Dell n sessors were each given their own territory. They were assigned to manage these territories, just like what Laura was doing here in the Purcell Duchy. Carlo’s share was the whole of the Aksu Empire, except for the Purcell Duchy.


    The difference between just the Purcell Duchy and the entirety of the Aksu Empire was reallyrge, and one could see the disparity between Karen and Carlo from this point.


    Carlo’s days, however, weren’t so good, and it was due to the Purcell Duchy. The Aksu Empire wasrge, and they had already established their chain of Markey Dell stores. Moreover, the business was doing good. Although this seemed very favorable for Carlo, and he had a great deal of wealth in his hands, one shouldn’t forget that currently, the people working in these stores were all assigned by Sioux. As such, Carlo’s every action and movement were transparent, and he couldn’t fool them.


    What’s more, these people held important positions, so Carlo couldn’t just move them easily. If Carlo wanting to fully control his territory, it would be impossible.


    In the Purcell Duchy, however, there wasn’t such an issue since the Markey Dell n didn’t have any stores there. Although Laura had began with a lot of hardships, she could at least control her own territory and wouldn’t allow others to meddle in it.


    Carlo also wasn’t ordinary as he was the one who’d taken control of the Markey Dell n’s chain of stores in the Aksu Empire. His strength grew very quickly. Besides not having a Rank Nine expert, he was stillparable to a middle ranked aristocrat since he had several Rank Eight experts on his side. This was all Raeen knew, and he didn’t know much since Carlo was a very careful person. Thus, he hadn’t even trusted Raeen fully.


    The reason why Carlo had noticed the Purcell Duchy was because of the pest crisis. The news of it had since been spread throughout the Aksu Empire. This was amon practice forrge businesses, and anyone with some status inside the Aksu Empire knew of it. With regards to the maniptions within the Purcell n, the other great and powerful aristocrats were against it. Luckily, the Purcell n had met Zhao Hai.


    These people hadn’t ced much emphasis on the pest crisis, but rather, they noted the sudden appearance of Zhao Hai. They all had the same sort of questions, such as where had Zhao Haie from? Where was he producing hismodities?


    When Laura started selling the Taoyuan products, these people soon realized how big an opportunity this was. They were also aware, however, that it was due to the Purcell n’s kindness that Zhao Hai had a ce to call home .


    This time around, the Purcell n’s loss wasn’t small, and these people knew that Zhao Hai’s products were a great opportunity. The Purcell n also knew of this, however. Now, moving against Zhao Hai was tantamount to pping the Purcell n in the face. Although the Purcell n couldn’t be considered a veryrge n, after many years of development they could still be recognized as one of the great aristocrats. The n had two Rank Nine experts, so no one would dare look down on them.


    It was due to this that no one had thought of using Zhao Hai as a business opportunity. Going against a respected aristocratic n wasn’t something that the other established great aristocratic ns were capable of.


    Carlo, however, didn’t have such ayer of scruples. He needed this opportunity. Right now, within the Markey Dell n, he was the weakest among the three top sessors. He needed to quickly increase his strength. That was why he had sent Alodia and Raeen. He thought that as long as those two moved, Laura would certainlyply. When the time came, Zhao Hai wouldn’t be able to run freely and would be taken in.


    He hadn’t thought that they would fail to coordinate against Laura, even to the extent of shutting Alodia up and confining him. Raeen had known that this matter was bad as they had wanted to kidnap Laura and use her to find a way to take over Zhao Hai.


    Naturally, if Laura resisted intensely, then they weren’t afraid of taking her life. So long as Laura dies, the business within the Purcell Duchy would be headless. Perhaps they could even take over the entire Purcell Duchy’s industry without a problem. They hadn’t thought that Zhao Hai would send his Eagle Virtuous Phantasms at the scene of the ambush. All those that died have now be his undead.


    This information had some uses for Zhao Hai, but it wasn’t too significant. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn’t care much for it. After having asked Zhao En, he moved back inside the Space. He watched the eagles as they advanced forwards through their route. He didn’t want to make any more mistakes, else he certainly wouldn’t be able to reach Flower City.


    Green and the others, whom were sitting in front of Zhao Hai, didn’t speak of anything. After some time, Green said, “Young Master, I think the issue about us telling our identity to Miss Laura wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Miss Laura should have a sense of proportion. Moreover, she took many undead from us. Thus, if Miss Laura does have bad intentions against us, we will know ahead of time.”


    Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I’m not worried about Laura betraying us. What I was thinking about is our alliance with the Purcell n. Although it can be said that Evan was good to us, look at it this way; Evan is a verypetent politician. If he became aware of our identities, he might just give us some trouble.”


    Green shook his head and said, “That shouldn’t be the case. If Miss Laura indeed won’t betray us, then she won’t tell Evan about our identity. Thus, it’s impossible for Evan to know.”


    Zhao Hai nodded. “I do hope so. Also, Zhao En told me things about Carlo’s situation. I don’t mind Carlo’s strength alone, but having understood his portion of strength, I fear that the whole Markey Dell n’s power is very high. It seems like this time, we might have met with some hard stubble.”


    Green coldly snorted and said, “It’s not an extraordinary matter. So long as we are cooperating with the Purcell n, the Markey Dell n won’t easily move against us. A Rank Nine expert won’t be easy to get rid of. And then there are the many Rank Eight experts within the Purcell n. We still have a little power to restrict them with.”


    Zhao Hai nodded. He looked at the terrain on the screen and checked the map. Taking a deep breath, he said, “I only hope that Carlo won’t start moving within the next few days. ording to the map, we can arrive at Flower City in about two days. I hope Carlo will give us enough time.”


    Green also looked at the screen and checked the map. He nodded and said, “Looking at the terrain on the map, we should arrive at Flower City the day after tomorrow. During this period, no one should leave the Space.”


    “Well, let’s have Zhao En look at the situation,” Zhao Hai said, nodding. “If there is anything when we go out, he can immediately tell us about it. I’m worried that while we are going to Flower City, there may be Rank Nine magic beasts or undead that might attack us.”


    Green frowned and said, “It’s better if they won’t attack us, otherwise it will be difficult for us to go to Flower City. I’m hoping that this time, we can also have the same luck Buffy hadst time.”


    The people in the room didn’t believe in Green’s words. Green also knew that Buffy had been a Rank Nine expert magician. As such, those other Rank Nine experts didn’t want to annoy him in order to avoid any further confrontation. The Eagle Virtuous Phantasms, however, weren’t Rank Nine. They might be Rank Six, strictly speaking, and them braving through the territory of Rank Nine experts would be very dangerous.


    The dignity of Rank Nine experts could not be taken lightly. Those who do would die without a doubt. Due to this, Zhao Hai was a lot more careful.


    The people in the room had a few more conversations before he left the Spatial Vi. The Space was now Level 15, and altogether it had a total of 48 mu ofnd. Radishes were nted in 8 mu of thend, fruit oil trees in 10 mu, and bamboo rice for another 10 mu. He also nted corn in 10 mu of thend, and different nts were nted in the remaining 10 mu. He’d nted cabbages, potatoes that were called tuber blocks here in the Ark continent, sweet peppers, green lettuce, and olives, each on 2 mu ofnd .


    Oil fruit and bamboo rice weremodities that Laura normally needed. After keeping several for himself, the cabbages and potatoes were sold to Laura. He had to save up on some of thesemodities. After all, the Taoyuan products were very popr on the continent, thus there mighte a time when he couldn’t supply themodities needed.


    He only needed to check on things and the Space would handle it all for him. He needed to check, then ept, and then point some things out. In the end, Zhao Hai didn’t need to handle these matters much.


    There was also nothing to do at Fort Iron Mountain since there were already people managing the mountain valley. Thend near Fort Iron Mountain was also used by the ves to nt things, so he didn’t need to worry.


    Thend near Fort Iron Mountain hadn’t beenpletely improved, only about 700,000 square meters were. Aside from rewarding Chee and Schee the 7000 square meters, the remainder of thend was being nted with some ordinary vegetables by the ves, not with magic vegetables. Although these ordinary vegetables were inferior to magic vegetables, their maturity time was shorter. As long as one could store them, vegetables like cabbage could be kept for a long time. It was autumn right now, so they would prepare it for the winter.


    There was sufficient food, clothing, and food production from the Space for theing winter. Adding in Laura’s cooperation in terms of selling the blue-eyed rabbit meat, and they’d umted a lot of rabbit fur. Furthermore, they also bought a lot of cotton clothing from Casa City. As such, there shouldn’t be any more problems.


    Wood fuel wasn’t a problem either. Zhao Hai had saved a lot of fruit oil trees, corn stalks and corn cobs, and bamboo rice. They should have sufficient materials. The issue of drinking water was also mostly solved. Even if the moat were to be frozen, there were mountainkes, called tarns . Even if the tarns were frozen, there was still Zhao Hai’s Space. Although it wasn’t good, you could also take water from ice . Although they won’t be able to do anything much during the winter, eating wouldn’t be a problem.


    In order to alleviate the fear of not being able to eat at all times, Zhao Hai had left behind some blue-eyed rabbits. This could improve their meals during the winter time. If you let the ves of the other regions know about how the ves lived, here in ck Waste, he feared that they mightmit suicide out of envy.
