Thunder Ashley nodded . Naturally, he knew about these matters . After all, they were related to his daughter . He just paid little attention to Zhao Hai in the past . And after Zhao Hai closed up, his name was never heard of again .
At this time, an Internal Hall manager asked with curiosity, “Desbarres . I know that the level of your Bone Symbol Camp isn't good . Those spells used by the kid, I haven't seen them before . ”
Desbarres smiled bitterly and said, “Alright, are you mocking me or praising me? And what do you know about the strength of the Bone Symbol Camp? I can only say that Zhao Hai is a genius . He has a lot of formation sets in his hands, and all of it were created by him . The formations he used already existed, but the sets were all made by him . I have seen some of his creations and to be honest, they are really really strong . ”
As soon as those present heard Desbarres, they couldn't help but stare . Then all of them looked at Desbarres with s.h.i.+ning eyes . Desbarres saw their reactions and he bitterly smiled as he said, “I know what you are thinking . You want other Mages to learn Zhao Hai's formation sets? Forget about it . Zhao Hai is indeed willing to hand over his formation sets, but only a few individuals can study them . Don't forget, Zhao Hai is an all-element Mage . His formation sets have two or three elements in them . Their might is certainly huge, but if you're not an all-element Mage, then those formations are useless . ”
Everyone nodded upon hearing Desbarres . The formation sets Zhao Hai used were indeed from multiple departments . The power was great, but most Mages couldn't use it .
Everyone couldn't help but sigh . Thunder turned towards Desbarres and whispered, “Desbarres, tell me the truth . What is the kid's strength?”
Desbarres smiled faintly and said, “He should be level 4 . But even I won't dare to fight him . I reckon I could lose to him . ”
Desbarres was a level 6 Mage . When Thunder heard this, his eyes couldn't help but narrow . Then he chuckled and said, “It seems like luck has finally come to you . You actually gained a treasure . ”
Advertis.e.m.e.ntDesbarres smiled and said, “Right, I really picked up a treasure . In fact, he has more than you think . Patriarch, I'll report something to you later . ” Thunder blinked when he heard Desbarres . But he nodded and turned to look back at the stage . Thunder now wanted to know what Zhao Hai had that made Desbarres value him highly .
Before long, the 35 battles ended . The compet.i.tion's first day had ended . All victors will rest for two days before competing again .
After the compet.i.tion ended, Zhao Hai returned to his room to rest . Desbarres also issued a strict order stating that Zhao Hai shouldn't be disturbed .
Desbarres didn't return to the Bone Symbol Camp, instead he followed Thunder back into the family . Desbarres and Cadjo entered the study with Thunder . After Thunder waved his hand to invite everyone to sit down, he turned to Desbarres and said, “Fatty Des, tell me . There's no need to be mysterious . ”
Desbarres smiled faintly and said, “Young Master, it's good news . It is about Zhao Hai . ” When outside, Desbarres would call Thunder 'Patriarch' . However, when they were alone, he would call him 'Young Master' .
Thunder nodded and said, “This Zhao Hai is very good . ”
Cadjo also nodded and said, “He's calm . And not too forgiving either . He's a skilled kid . ”
Desbarres looked at the two and smiled, “Young Master, Smiling Demon . Remember the thing I have in the treasury? The item a Machine Field legend left behind?”
When Thunder heard Desbarres, his brows couldn't help but raise . Then he asked, “You mean the failed product? You still have it? I thought you sold it because you lacked money . ”
Desbarres smiled faintly and said, “It's more useful to keep it . Young Master, that thing has been completed by Zhao Hai . He's currently using it . ”
Boom! Desbarres's words were like a huge bomb exploding inside Thunder and Cadjo's minds . Since the two knew what the item was, they also knew the conditions of completing it . They thought that n.o.body in the Machine Field could complete it . And now, Desbarres told them that it had been formed . It was no wonder that they were surprised .
Desbarres saw their reactions and laughed, “What? You might not know, but Zhao Hai already completed it and is now using it as his staff . ”
Thunder stood up, he stared deeply into Desbarres and said, “Datty Des, don't joke with me . Did Zhao Hai really complete it? How did he do it? You should know that a lot of people worked together in the past, but they still weren't able to complete it . ”
Desbarres nodded and said, “Zhao Hai has done it . But he took the clever route . He added a material in the production and engraved 131,490 formations in one go . This caused the final stage to succeed . Now, he called the thing Liquid Silver . ”
Thunder gawked, “It really succeeded? People thought of this method before, but they haven't found the appropriate material . What did he use?”
Desbarres smiled faintly and said, “Measureless Golden Sand!”
“Measureless Golden Sand! So it's measureless golden sand? No wonder . ” Cadjo called out in alarm . One must know that measureless golden sand was a very precious material . Who thought Zhao Hai actually had it .
Desbarres nodded, “Little Hai also gave me a bottle of it . I already stored it inside the treasury . But Liquid Silver is truly evil . After Little Hai completed it, it became his exclusive item . No matter what method we try, that thing is only a hunk of silver metal in our hands . But in Zhao Hai's hands, it became ever changing . It can turn into all kinds of weapons, it's G.o.dly . ”
Thunder nodded and said, “Divine Artifacts always recognize their owners, that's normal . Also, that thing had always been useless in our hands, it's good if it can be used by Zhao Hai . This way, he could give benefits to the Ashley Family . But Fatty Des, is Zhao Hai loyal to the Ashley Family? Won't he run to other groups?”
Desbarres shook his head and said, “Young Master, you can rest a.s.sured . After observing him for the past few days, I discovered that Zhao Hai is very sentimental . Since we've been treating him properly, he will not betray us . You don't need to worry . ”
Thunder nodded, “I have tried the refining method you brought back last time . Did you send a reward Zhao Hai? Right, I heard that he's still living inside the camp's building?”
Desbarres smiled bitterly and said, “Forget it, that kid is a training madman . I've already sent his reward over, but he had yet to move to his villa . He's inside the camp every day, training . I don't know how to handle him . ”
As soon as Thunder heard Desbarres, he nodded and said, “So it's like this . But I still think he needed to be rewarded . Fatty Des, we need to make him satisfied with the Ashley Family . We can't afford to have him leave . ”
Desbarres smiled faintly and said, “Young Master, I have something in mind . But I'm afraid you won't agree . ” When he heard Desbarres, Thunder stared . Then he waved his hand and said, “Tell me . He has limitless future . I'm willing to pay anything as long as we get to keep him . ”
Desbarres replied, “I don't want to restrain him . Instead, I want to have him join the Ashley Family . Only once he becomes one of us would he never leave . ”
As soon as Thunder heard Desbarres, he paused for a moment . Then his expression changed as he said, “You mean Margaret?”
Thunder and Margaret's relations.h.i.+p wasn't good . Of course, this issue was with Margaret . But even if Margaret wasn't intimate with Thunder, Thunder still placed Margaret next to his heart .
Thunder had five sons and three daughters in his entire lifetime; with Margaret being the youngest . His two other daughters had already married while Margaret stayed single . Margaret was Zhao Hai's instructor and had already experienced difficulties with him . This was the reason for Desbarres's suggestion .
Cadjo knit his brows and said, “Fatty Des, your idea is good . But with Miss Margaret's temper, I'm afraid she wouldn't agree . ”
Desbarres smiled faintly and said, “Of course I know about that . But I wasn't thinking of matching them immediately . Instead, we should let them develop feelings for each other . Also, the last time I saw them together, Miss Margaret already had little thoughts about Zhao Hai . Let's have them meet more often and see what happens . ”
When Thunder heard this, he relaxed . He always felt that he had been lacking towards Margaret . Because of this, he didn't want to force Margaret into things for the sake of the family . So after he heard Desbarres, he nodded and said, “Alright, then let's have them meet more often . Right, Fatty Des, don't tell anyone else about Zhao Hai's matter . We don't want him to suffer any accidents . ”
Desbarres nodded . To be honest, Thunder was being seen as a tyrant in the family . There are only a few people who he would listen to, among these were Desbarres and Cadjo . As for the others, he wouldn't even hear them out .
Thunder stood up and said, “The Ashley Family had always been lacking during the past beginner compet.i.tions . With Zhao Hai, I hope that we can reach greater heights . ”
All great families give priority to their benefits . If a person was useful for them, then they would give them importance . If they couldn't be used, then they wouldn't place them in their eyes . Thunder was the same person . If Zhao Hai cannot give him a satisfactory result, then he would deal with him with no hesitation . Then he would s.n.a.t.c.h Liquid Silver away .
