Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

After Xiao Ce got out of the car, Saipu glanced at him directly.

However, Saipu greeted Xiao Yang first.

"Mr. Xiao Yang, thanks to your insistence. You're right, my father is still willing to see Xiao Ce and Agent Yin..."

Before Xiao Yang could answer, Sai Pu looked to the side at Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er.

"These two must be Mr. Xiao Ce and Ms. Yin Pan'er, Ms. Yin, right? Hello... hello."

"I am..."

Before Sepp could even begin to introduce himself, Xiao Ce walked up to him and said, "Hello, Mr. Sepp, I know you..."

Sepp feigned surprise and, without beating around the bush, said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, please come in. My father is waiting for you..."

Seeing that Saipu was so straightforward, Xiao Ce didn't waste any words.

At this moment, Xiao Yang was about to follow. Saipu smiled slightly at Xiao Yang and then said, "Mr. Xiao Yang, this time my father only invited the two of them to speak privately... I cannot go..."

Saipu's statement only indicated that he himself couldn't go; it didn't mean that Xiao Yang wouldn't go...

Therefore, Xiao Yang didn't seem uncomfortable listening to this, and simply nodded to Saipu: "Okay, no problem..."

Saipu was somewhat surprised after hearing Xiao Yang's words.

Seeing Saipu's expression, Xiao Yang said to Saipu, "Saipu, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I've always been an unreasonable person?"

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Sai Pu smiled and said, "No, I've always thought Mr. Xiao Yang, you've always been a cautious person... Aren't you worried about Mr. Xiao Ce and Mr. Yin Pan'er going in alone? Aren't you afraid of any risks?"

Xiao Yang smiled at Sepp's words: "If a single hair on their body falls, I don't need to lift a finger. There are plenty of men who can raze your entire Aurelius to the ground, leaving not a single piece of armor behind..."

Xiao Yang said this with a smile, but Saipu didn't doubt in the slightest that what he said was false...

Seeing Saipu's embarrassed expression, Xiao Yang continued, "Alright, you don't need to be afraid... I was just using an analogy, just joking..."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Saipu laughed and nodded.

He knew perfectly well that Xiao Yang wasn't joking when he said those words...

Knowing this in his heart, he continued, "Mr. Xiao Yang, we've ordered a new batch of coffee beans from the Dark Light brand. How about we invite you to have some coffee?"

Upon hearing Saipu's words, Xiao Yang smiled broadly and said, "Of course...please..."

Meanwhile, Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er were led to a room by an old steward.

After the old butler gently knocked on the door, a sound came from inside.

"Please come in..."

Upon hearing this voice, the old steward smiled slightly and gestured for Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er to enter.

Afterwards, Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er went straight inside.

Upon entering the house, Ux had already gotten up to greet him.

"Mr. Xiao Ce, Agent Yin, esteemed guests, please forgive me, but my health is not up to the task of welcoming you..."

Upon hearing Ux's words, the two men smiled broadly and said, "It's alright, Mr. Ux, we don't care about such formalities..."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ux smiled at the two men and said, "Please, distinguished guests, have a seat."

After hearing what Ux said, the two smiled again and then sat down.

After the two sat down, Xiao Ce said to Ux, "Mr. Ux, since you agreed to come and see us, you must know why I'm here..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ux nodded repeatedly and then said, "Of course... I naturally know why you've come..."

After hearing what Ux said, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Of course I know. So, let's get straight to the point. We want to know Mr. Ux's position."

Ux smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "Mr. Xiao Ce, others may not know, but you should know very well... I don't mean anything by it, but our entire Aurelius family is based on money. Therefore, we are acting in the interest of profit..."

Xiao Ce said to Ux, "Of course, I knew that too, that's why I came... Mr. Ux, since you're willing to see me, does that mean you're already very clear about some of my past?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ux smiled broadly and said, "That's right. It's because I know about your past, Mr. Xiao Ce, and your affairs in East Asia, and I know about your rule over East Asia, that I agreed to meet with you..."

Ux was very frank.

Xiao Ce then slowly said to Ux, "Mr. Ux, I know your concerns and worries... Since you are willing to meet with me, I naturally bring sufficient sincerity..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ux smiled and then said, "Oh? Is that so?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Ux and then said, "Mr. Ux, what do you think is the most important thing in the current situation?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ux said, "Naturally, it's weapons, advanced weapons, and technology! In fact, we know very well that there is no other reason why we in the West have been able to achieve great results time and time again."

"It's because we entered the Industrial Revolution ahead of time—or more precisely, because the Illuminati initiated it—that our entire West took off, allowing us to colonize many places. This gave us a continuous stream of profits to support us... This is the reason for our great achievements, without exception..."

"Although I've heard, Mr. Xiao Ce, that you've caught up and even invented many advanced weapons, these weapons seem to have played a significant role in the short term... and you appear to have the upper hand... but... you're probably unaware of the latest events in Lingas City..."

After hearing what Ux said, Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, I just found out... I wonder if Mr. Ux could reveal some details beforehand?"

Ux nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible... However, Mr. Xiao Ce, since you've come with sincerity—although I don't yet know what your sincerity is—since you dared to come, I still dared to come and talk to you..."

Xiao Ce said to Ux, "Mr. Ux, you truly live up to your reputation as Aurelius's pillar of strength... Rest assured, if you satisfy me, the sincerity I bring will absolutely satisfy you as well..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's confident demeanor, Ux was clearly genuinely curious.

He then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, before Cassivs went to Lingas City, he said that the Lingas coup appeared to be caused by the betrayal of the Lightguard, but in reality, it was because the bishop of the Illuminati was assassinated, and the four cardinals under him were also controlled... which led to this situation..."

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Yin Pan'er asked in surprise, "An Illuminati bishop was assassinated? I heard that the Illuminati's core is called the Hall of Light, and that place is extremely heavily guarded... And although they gave us many powerful Light Guards, they have even more powerful guards there... It's impossible for an ordinary person to assassinate someone there..."

Ux nodded: "Agent Yin, you're right... If we're talking about the safest place in the world, it should be the Temple of Light. Although the Illuminati has dominated the entire West for so many years, no one knows where the Illuminati's base, the Temple of Light, is... It's all just a rumor. The Temple of Light is the safest place in the entire world."

"Moreover, according to our existing intelligence, that Illuminati bishop wasn't assassinated, but rather he was attacked and killed by a force of one hundred men... Keep in mind that the Temple of Light has at least a thousand guards even more powerful than the Light Guards... According to reliable intelligence, all the guards and bishops of the Temple of Light were massacred, with only a few survivors left behind to report to the Fourth Cardinal..."

"Send the people from the Four Cardinals' place to the Hall of Light to see them, otherwise the next to die will be the people from the Four Cardinals' place..."
