Chapter 1330: Side Story: Having the Whole World in View (7)
Qi Haoran felt that the current situation in the West was equivalent to the Warring States Period, being originally from the same empire initially but had since split into many countries. Meanwhile, Joao and Jose were just a side branch of the royal family of one of the small countries.
He didn’t mind using them to train his son, but he was unwilling to let them use his son like this. Moreover, seriously speaking, the brothers owed a debt of gratitude towards the King’s estate.
It was fine if they did not want to repay the debt of kindness, but they actually wanted to use Qi Haoran’s son. Seeing as they were already so ungrateful under his nose, who knew to what extent they would make use of King Rong’s estate when they returned to Portugal?
Qi Haoran raised the corners of his lips and said, "So I guess they’re reluctant to leave because of the riches of Great Qi, so they’ll want to stay here for a few more years."
Mu Yangling mourned for Joao and Jose in her heart, but she couldn’t help but applaud her husband. After all, who asked them to bully her son?
Although Qi Haoran said that, it was not to stop Joao and Jose from returning to their home country. It was just to cut off their path to borrow the power of the King’s estate.
If they gave up on this idea, they could take a boat at the docks with a wave of their hand.
However, it was obvious that Joao and Jose did not want to give up on the connections that they had painstakingly established. Not only did they spend the past two months teaching Little Leopard to gain favor with him, but they also communicated frequently with them after they left the capital and continued teaching them through letters.
Since Joao and Jose were born into noble families, in some aspects, they were indeed better than the priest that Mu Yangling had hired for Little Leopard. Therefore, even if Little Leopard had already sensed that he was being used, he did not cut ties with them.
This kid saw the situation clearly. "Since they have the intention of using me, I won’t treat them as friends. However, we can still interact. Perhaps I’ll have a use for them in the future."
Then, he went to persuade Qi Haoran. "Daddy, since they want to borrow the power of our King’s estate, why don’t we lend it to them? One day, we’ll take back the benefits."
Qi Haoran looked at his son and turned to Ah Ling. "This kid has actually improved even more than Tiger Head and the others."
