Quinn John sighed. Although he knew this day would come, it still made his heart uncomfortable. After all, he’d watched Laura as she grew up. Now, suddenly, she said she agreed to Zhao Hai’s condition to marry him. It was like saying she would leave him forever. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
After a while, Zhao Hai calmed down. He looked at Laura and asked, “What else do you need to prepare? If you have anything you need to carry off, tell me and I’ll help you do so.”
When she heard what Zhao Hai said, Laura relaxed and said, “We’re almost finished tidying things up here. It’s really fortunate Mister gave us several of those Spatial Bags as they’re really helpful. Still, we’ll need a few more carriages in order to take away everything. Moreover, we need to explain several matters to the rest of our clan here, and that will take several days.”
Zhao Hai thought for a while before saying, “Alright then, we’ll stay here for a few days. Please arrange a room for us. When you finish whatever you have to do, we can leave together.”
Laura froze for a moment, then nodded and said, “Okay. The mansion has a guest room. You can stay there for the next few days.”
Nodding, Zhao Hai said, “You should speak to Evan. After we leave, he can send people to Stony Mountain every five days to get the commodities. Once they are at Stony Mountain, they just need to knock on the ground three times. We will arrive the next day and they can pick up the commodities from a warehouse. If they don’t knock, however, then they can’t get the products.”
Laura nodded. “Alright, I’ll tell him that. Also, I have some of Carlo’s subordinates held captive. I wish for them to pay for their crimes. What do you think?”
After thinking for a while, Zhao Hai said, “That’s fine. How do you want me to deal with them? Do you wish them to be silenced?”
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and sighed. “I don’t really want to silence them, but we can’t control them. The threat they represent is too large. While Alodia and his team have been obedient these past few days, we already have some sense of them. As such, I don’t trust them.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Alright, I understand. Hand them over to me and I’ll deal with them.”
Laura nodded. She turned to Nier and said, “Nier, take Brother Hai to his room to rest. Tend to whatever needs Brother Hai has.”
Nier complied and stepped up to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai stood and said to Laura, “This matter needs to be solved as soon as possible since Boric and the Markey Dell clan both have their eyes set on us. We will need to leave immediately.”
Laura nodded and Zhao Hai followed Nier.
After waiting for Zhao Hai to walk out, Laura turned her head towards Quinn John and said, “Grandpa Quinn John, we need to finish taking care of our issues as soon as possible. When the store managers arrive, we’ll tell them about everything and then we will need to leave immediately. What Brother Hai said about us not being safe now is correct.”
Quinn John nodded and said, “Relax, the matter of cleaning up here has already been assigned to Kiel[1] and the other trusted subordinates. Furthermore, they are determined to come with us, so rest assured. Oh, right. We forgot to ask Zhao Hai how many people we can take along. If he can take many people, then everything will be fine.”
Laura frowned. “I forgot to ask. Let’s talk about it at when it’s time to eat. Anyway, he’ll be staying for the next few days, so there’s no need to worry.”
Quinn John nodded and gave a faint smile. “I noticed that Zhao Hai is very concerned about you. In fact, he’d probably take you in even if you didn’t accept his request.”
Laura paled as she glanced at Quinn John. Sighing, she said, “To be honest, I have a very good impression of Brother Hai. We’ve met with great misfortune at this time, and only Brother Hai could and would help us. Moreover, from our previous meetings he didn’t say much. He didn’t try to coax a girl with his words. The condition he put forward was actually a proposal in disguise. With his disposition, doing such a thing was already being forward. Why wouldn’t I comply?”
