Chapter 30: Father and Son (Seeking Monthly Pass)

For the Zhao family, the failure on the warship island also means many things.

Before leaving, Zhao Daizong saved a lot of face with his calm aura and rekindled morale. But for him, he did not lose his due vigilance at all.

After leaving the warship island, he did not return to Haifan directly, but took a private spaceship and went directly to Ruhui Island.

Ruhui Island is a small glacier island located near the extreme of Tonghaixing. It is not large in area but has a unique view. Unfortunately, this place is not open to the public and is the private property of the Zhao family. Only important members of the family have the right to go to Ruhui Island for leisure and vacation.

The spacecraft landed on a small port at the northernmost end of Ruhui Island. Zhao Daizong walked off the spacecraft expressionlessly, but the moment he landed, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Because he saw an unexpected person not far ahead, an old man with a medium figure and kind-looking face.

"dad?"

As Zhao Daizong spoke, the old man, who seemed ordinary, also revealed his extraordinary identity.

The contemporary head of the Zhao family, the real ruler of Tonghaixing, led the family to fight against the central government's 50-year hero, Zhao Zhiru.

This is an old man with a very legendary color. Even in the central China, there are many officials who admire this old man very much because he is really a living legend. He took over the family power in his youth and spent decades to stabilize the situation of Tonghaixing, and cultivated a heir Zhao Daizong who was no less than his own. After the heroes emerged more than a hundred years ago and the magnificent history ended, it was really difficult to find a hero in the Republic of China who could compete with this old man.

However, at this moment, Zhao Zhiru was like an ordinary gentle old man, nodding to his son with a smile, and then whispered: "Well done."

Zhao Daizong still had his face tense, but accelerated his pace to walk to his father and supported him with his strong arms. Although Zhao Zhiru was in a tough body and did not need it, he still silently accepted his son's kindness.

"I already know the matter on the warship island, it is not a crime of war. You have handled it well."

Zhao Daizong frowned, wondering why his father told him about this.

In recent years, as he has rich experience and his methods of handling things have gradually become more sophisticated, Zhao Zhiru has transferred most of his power to his hands, and rarely comments on what he does. He occasionally makes some comments, and it is all aimed at major strategic projects. The competition on the warship island is not worth the old man's words.

"In the years, you have become more mature and often do better than I expected. So I think it's time to formally give up your position."

Zhao Daizong was shocked when he heard this and looked at his father in surprise.

The transfer of power has indeed been decided long ago, and even he has more power than Zhao Zhiru, but these powers were transferred to him. Simply put, it is like renting out, and there is a possibility of being taken back at any time... However, if Zhao Zhiru really gave up his position, it means that he completely retired and there is no possibility of resurrection. This step is inevitable, but the process should not be so fast! No matter how harmonious the relationship between father and son is, it is also related to the rule of a planet. Since ancient times, there have been countless father-son loves crushed by imperial power. How could Zhao Zhiru's generation of heroes be able to hand over power so easily?!

While thinking about it, Zhao Zhiru said again: "Daizong, over the years, you have been the head of the Zhao family in the actual sense. How do you feel?"

Zhao Daizong thought about it and did not answer anything like other people in power, and was like walking on thin ice. Instead, he said with deep emotion: "The power is in control, and I can't stop."

Zhao Zhiru smiled and said, "It's right that you want to stop. The rule of the Zhao family is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. But have you ever considered why we can rule this planet and become the leader of hundreds of millions of people?"

Zhao Daizong thought about it again and replied: "It is the heart of the people. The Zhao family wins the world by relying on the heart of the people."

Seeing that his father did not respond, Zhao Daizong paused and said, "Then, maintaining rule depends on inertia. When everyone is accustomed to the rule of the Zhao family and is used to living under the shade of the Zhao family, even if people's hearts are dispersed, it doesn't matter."

Zhao Zhiru still didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"Finally, the one that maintains this inertia is force." Zhao Daizong's voice gradually became colder. "Any attempt to change inertia will be excluded with absolute power. In this way, the rule of the Zhao family can be truly stable."

"Very good!" Zhao Zhiru finally nodded, "Martial power is the key to everything. I am very pleased that you have not been confused by the peace of the past few decades and can always grasp the core of the problem. You are helping to win over the Yue family at all costs, right?"

Zhao Daizong nodded. The marriage with the Yue family was his most proud design in recent years. Yue Xinyao was extremely talented and had a bright future. She was almost locked in a five-star super warrior with unlimited potential. Anyone can see that, so why can the Zhao family win over Yue Xinyao?

Is it because of the Sirius War alone that investment in Yue Fengyun? Obviously not enough - because to some extent, once Yue Xinyao advances to five stars, her value is higher than Yue Fengyun, so why should she be at the mercy of others?

So Zhao Daizong actually proposed a very good condition for Yue Xinyao: to marry Zhao Tianhua.

There is no doubt that Zhao Tianhua is an absolute playboy - compared to Yue Xinyao. But compared to those young talents, a playboy is actually more suitable as a partner for marriage. Because the playboy is incompetent, he will not have too much ambitions, nor has any strong capital. He will save time and effort when getting along with such people, and will not cause trouble. Moreover, when the strength and weakness are extremely clear, the Yue family can take this opportunity to swallow the resources of the Zhao family and strengthen itself. This is a very irresistible temptation.

Zhao Daizong did not care about the blood of the Yue family sucking the Zhao family, because the Yue family was not a century-old wealthy family with deep roots and lush leaves. Excessive blood sucking was conducive to the integration of the two families. Just like in ancient times, nomadic civilization conquered the agricultural civilization, but was assimilated by the latter.

At present, Yue Xinyao has enjoyed the convenience of marriage with peace of mind. She began to mobilize a large number of resources from the Zhao family and quickly become stronger with the extra rare elements. This is an excellent trend. Next, as long as she gave birth to a son and half of her daughter with Zhao Tianhua, Zhao Daizong will fully support her and pass the throne across generations, and the marriage between Zhao Yue and the Zhao Yue family will be unbreakable.

Regarding Zhao Daizong's proud work, Zhao Zhiru just sighed softly: "Daizong, you have really put a lot of effort into Tianhua."

Zhao Daizong's expression suddenly restrained a little.

That's right, this marriage...of course, is not just for the sake of family. For his doting son, being able to reach the daughter of Yue's family is his greatest guarantee in the future. This is also a piece of insurance left by Zhao Daizong, the father of his son.

"It's a pity that Tianhua never understood your painstaking efforts, and you spent too little energy on him. Even if he almost caused a huge disaster, you knew nothing."

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Daizong's face changed: "What's wrong with Tianhua??"

Zhao Zhiru smiled and reached out to take out a transparent plastic bag from the inner bag of the windbreaker, which contained a thin layer of gray powder.

"This is a rare element that Tianhua gave to Yue Xinyao, you can take a look at it yourself."

Zhao Daizong carefully opened the plastic bag, picked some with his fingernails, and at the same time, he pulled open his clothes with his other hand to expose his chest, and then tapped the powder on his chest, and the powder disappeared as if it had melted.

After a while, Zhao Daizong's face changed, his body shook continuously, and his anger erupted at the same time.

"Zhao Tianhua, this damn beast!"

Zhao Zhiru did not blame him too much, but instead patted Zhao Daizong on the shoulder: "You should know that Tianhua alone can't do such a thing."

Zhao Daizong nodded silently.

That's right, although Zhao Tianhua is a playboy, he definitely does not have such means, and... the things mixed in rare elements are not something Zhao Tianhua can do.

This matter must be something that someone is instigating behind the scenes, and that person... is also clear at a glance.

"So... have you just arrived on Ruhui Island?" When Zhao Daizong spoke, his voice was already a little dry, "Have you dealt with her?"

"That's your business, and you will naturally handle it yourself." Zhao Zhiru said, "There is another thing to come to Ruhui Island. The child named Wang Ye has some fate with me. Remember to avoid him when you do things. That child is not simple either."

Zhao Daizong was a little surprised. If it weren't for his father's mention, he hadn't paid much attention to the sniper named Wang Ye. Although his performance was amazing in the battle of the warship island, he was just an ordinary human without roots and without Ping after all.

Unexpectedly, my father actually made a special trip to Ruhui Island for him!

Zhao Daizong opened his mouth and wanted to ask him what fate he had with Wang Ye, but then he thought of the woman who almost caused great disaster and was upset.

"Okay, I've said everything I should say, so take care of the rest. Don't forget that this family still needs you." Zhao Zhiru patted his son's hand and turned around and left.

Zhao Daizong was full of bitterness and didn't know what to do.

Handle your own business?

Zhao Zhiru has never been such a rude person. He has actually expressed his meaning very clearly when he comes today.

If you want to inherit the position of the head of the family, you should deal with what you should deal with.

If you want to live up to this family, you should deal with what you should deal with.

Yes, I should have dealt with it long ago. It was more than 30 years ago... and it was just causing trouble for myself and causing trouble.

However, thinking of the proud figure in his memory, Zhao Daizong couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
