His rest for the rest of the night went very calmly.
However, the entire Sky Water City wasn’t.

All nobles and powers inside the city acted, not because they wanted to revolt but instead to look for the suspect.
They wanted to check out exactly who actually dared to touch Smith’s daughter.

These powers inside the city don’t have choice but to do so, this way, the suspicions towards them would be washed out.
They really feared Smith’s suspicion.
If by chance they get the City Lord’s doubt, they wouldn’t be able to keep their livelihood inside Sky Water City.
And it would not only be inside Sky Water City, they were afraid that they wouldn’t even be able to re-establish themselves inside the whole Rosen Empire.

In fact, the major reason why these people became so anxious was the fact that the City immediately went into martial law after Megan was attacked.
There were people from the urban management bureau everywhere on the streets.
Along with them, the city garrison, warriors from Calci Family, and even mercenary companies were seen inspecting everything along the blocks.
On this day, the business inside Sky Water City dropped threefold.
It was obvious that the effects of the matter were very huge.

Seeing Smith acted very seriously this time, the aristocrats inside Sky Water city as well as the other powers became nervous.
At this time, if someone actually offended Smith, they would die a terrible death.

Compared to the others, the Shelley Hotel was very calm.
Although they also worked along with the city and also sent their warriors to patrol around, their range of movement wasn’t that large.
The people from the hotel only covered two streets near them and made sure that there was nothing unusual going on.
The acted very low-key, which was to Smith’s liking.

This action was obviously not being handled by Marriott, much less Might.
The two of them were inside an office and discussing the matter.

Marriott looked at Might and said, “You say that this matter is related to Zhao Hai? I heard that when Megan was attacked, Laura and Meg are also present.”

Might nodded and said, “There’s a very high possibility.
Except for the arrogant fool Lionheart, I cannot think of anyone else who would dare to act against Megan inside Sky Water City.
If Lionheart did it, then his target would be Meg and Laura.”

Marriott thought for a long time and said, “There’s also another group of people who would dare, the Radiant Church.
The Church’s influence has been steadily increasing these years.
Also, they weren’t dealing with Calci Family, they were going for Zhao Hai; they could also be the likely suspects for today.
And if the attack was unsuccessful, they could just plant the blame on Zhao Hai since Megan was the only one implicated.
This way, they could create a wedge between Smith and Zhao Hai, which would be great for the Church.”

Might’s complexion went down a single step, “If this really is so, then we’ll be in danger.
The Church would likely group us up with Zhao Hai and might deal with us as well.
We have to inform the family as soon as possible so they would pay some attention.”

Marriott smiled faintly, “Did you think that the higher ups in the family hadn’t thought up to this point? They may have thought that the benefits Zhao Hai bring are worth it.
Moreover, we don’t have any previous connections with the Radiant Church, so in a business standpoint, it would be better for the family to side with Zhao Hai.
Now I just hope that Smith wouldn’t get angry at Zhao Hai.
It would be really bad for us if Zhao Hai loses Smith as his backer.”

Might nodded, “I also hope so.
But I think that when Zhao Hai comes here in two days he would explain the situation to us.
On the other hand, if this matter is actually caused by Lionheart, then he would actually be very stupid in offending our Shelley Family as well as the Calci Family.
Did he think that he was taking too slow dying?”

Marriott faintly smiled and said, “I think that the present Grand Duke Lionheart was a bit like Aksu Empire’s Buda Clan.
Like Lionheart, they were also their King’s sword.
Their matter might be casting a shadow towards Rosen Empire’s Emperor.
After all, how could the Emperor know that his the sword in his hands would actually go out of control, suddenly acting too arrogant and overbearing.”

Might sneered, “Grand Duke Lionheart isn’t qualified to be paired with the Buda Clan.
If the old King didn’t die, it was impossible for the Buda Clan to perish since they acted very obedient and low-key.
I heard that their successor, Adam, was a spoiled young master which I think was intentionally made to happen by the Buda Clan.
This was so that nobody would suspect that they harbored deep ambition.
Nobody would suspect a clan with a useless successor.
Even if their family would suffer because of Adam, it would still ensure that their bloodline will carry on.
The Buda Clan did a very good job since the old King never held any suspicion towards them.
And after the family fell, Adam actually managed to flee.
Although they were exiled, the Buda Clan still survived.
On the other hand, Lionheart’s son was a rarely seen before martial genius.
Not to mention within their clan, he was very famous between the circles of nobility.
This brought attention to their family which, regarding Grand Duke Lionheart, wasn’t a great thing.”

Marriott smiled faintly, “In every nation, old aristocrats are always in conflict with the Royal Family.
All Royal Families are always thinking of ways of dealing with their old nobles, After all, these families held great power and influence.
This was also the reason why our Shelley family didn’t have to fear such actions.
Because we are a merchant family and was not as overbearing as the Markey Family, nobody paid any attention to us.”

Might smiled and said, “Speaking of Markey Family, they really had it bad.
For Haven products, they unexpectedly had a falling out with Laura and gave her to Zhao Hai for cheap.
Hahaha, I must say that Zhao Hai is quite formidable, Laura is a beautiful woman, moreover she’s even taller than Zhao Hai.
One could see that Zhao Hai’s appearance isn’t worth someone like Laura.
But surprisingly he made Laura like him, she even severed her connection from her family, that guy has my full admiration.”[1]

Looking at Might’s appearance, Marriott couldn’t help but laugh, “What? You want Zhao Hai to teach you his moves? But I think that would be difficult, Zhao Hai is a Space Mage.”

Might also laughed, “Forget it, I don’t have his capabilities.
But I truly believe that Grand Duke Lionheart made a grave mistake in annoying Zhao Hai.
Not only did he lose a lot of men to Zhao Hai, he was also slapped in the face.
I expect him to not last for long.”

Marriott coldly snorted and said, “Even if he manages to stay, we wouldn’t let him feel comfortable.
Now that the people from the clan has arrived, our plans could be set into motion.
Lionheart staying in his current position would be impossible.”

People be roasting our boi Zhao Hai these past few chapters.
