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

Xiao Ce remained somewhat indifferent towards them, which was consistent with Sean Aurelius's character.

All of this was witnessed by Cassivs.

After those people leave.

Cassie looked at Xiao Ce, then at Kate.

Cassies actually sensed something from Kate's eyes.

Xiao Ce looked at Cassivs, knowing that if he asked, he would tell him the truth.

After all, sometimes telling him the truth also puts him under pressure.

For example, after Xiao Ce told Kate, his psychological pressure increased even more.

Therefore, since Cassivs didn't speak first, Xiao Ce didn't speak either.

However, what Cassivs said next was beyond Xiao Ce's expectations.

Cassivs said to Xiao Ce, "Hello, Mr. Xiao Ce."

The moment Xiao Ce saw Cassivs extend his hand and directly uttered his name.

Xiao Ce was still surprised...

The reason is simple: Cassivus is very clever and actually figured it out.

Now that he had guessed it, Xiao Ce stopped pretending.

Xiao Ce smiled and was about to speak.

Kate then explained to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, I didn't say anything."

Xiao Ce smiled at Kate and said, "Kate, relax, I know it wasn't you..."

Xiao Ce shook hands with Cassivs and said, "Mr. Cassivs, you are indeed clever... How did you know I was Xiao Ce?"

Cassivs said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, firstly, you yourself gave yourself away; otherwise, I would never have known..."

"Secondly, I received a secret letter from my father before, saying that we are on your side. My father is a meticulous person... He wouldn't do this unless he saw you in person and saw something of value."

"After that, I received another message! A team was coming to me to make contact and help me negotiate with the new Illuminati. This message came openly and honestly, so I'm certain that one of them is one of your people... I didn't dare imagine it would be you at first..."

"But when I saw Sean coming, I was confused. But sir, you spoke to me in a way that Sean wouldn't use, so I became suspicious. Maybe it's you who's here..."

"Mr. Xiao Ce, I actually know you quite well. You always seem to be able to do things that ordinary people wouldn't dare to do, or couldn't do. Although it seems a bit unbelievable to me, I still dared to make a guess, and I was right..."

"Most importantly, I believe you will definitely come!"

Seeing Cassivs speak with such certainty, Xiao Ce asked with some surprise, "Oh? Why are you so sure?"

Cassie said to Xiao Ce, "Because, based on what I know about you, you're not the type to run away when you're in danger... Besides, you have many of your companions here. Most importantly, I've met Frank and Morgana, and they were very calm in prison, without the slightest tension or anxiety, as if they were recuperating."

"So, considering all factors, I thought you would come. However, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

Listen to Cassivs' analysis.

Xiao Ce nodded in satisfaction, then said to Cassivs, "Cassivs, no wonder they chose you as the head of the Aurelius family. You're clever..."

Despite Xiao Ce's high praise, Cassivs remained modest.

He then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, it was all thanks to your hints; otherwise, how would I have known..."

Xiao Ce smiled and didn't continue with the pleasantries with Cassivs.

"Anyway, just keep this to yourself. From now on, I'm your ninth brother, and the fewer people who know about this, the better..."

Cassivs nodded, then looked at Kate: "Mr. Xiao Ce, I'm probably fine on my end. But Kate, she's inexperienced... Although she's one of the best among the younger generation, she still lacks experience, and she's carrying such a huge secret... I'm afraid she might ruin things..."

Seeing Cassivs's words, Kate nodded awkwardly, "Ninth Master, Third Master is right... I'm scared..."

Before Kate could finish speaking, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of... Isn't your instinctive reaction good? I am your Ninth Master, and you didn't even need much time..."

"Since we've brought you here, consider it a learning experience. It's alright! You can't always stay in a greenhouse, relying on your families to protect you. This is a great opportunity..."

Then Xiao Ce said to Cassivs, "Third Brother, let Kate stay by my side. Besides, we'll all be following you around quietly... there shouldn't be any major problems..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs looked at Kate: "Kate, since Sean has said so, then we'll see what you think..."

Kate instinctively looked at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce didn't respond this time, but simply gave Kate a bright smile.

Kate saw Xiao Ce's smile, which seemed to give him courage.

His gaze was firm as he looked at Cassivis: "Third Master, since Ninth Master trusts me so much, I feel that this is a very rare opportunity for us... I want to stay."

When Cassivs heard Kate say this, he was a smart man and naturally didn't waste any more words.

With a bright smile on his face, he said, "Then it's decided. This matter ends here... and we'll never mention it again... Sean, what do you think?"

Upon hearing Cassivs' change in address, Xiao Ce smiled at Cassivs and said, "Of course, no problem..."

Cassivs said to Xiao Ce, "Sean, what's the purpose of your visit this time..."

Xiao Ce said to Cassivs, "Our purpose in coming here is simple: to see what's going on with them. I'll repay him tenfold for how he treated me... I'm not one to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of trouble either..."

When Xiao Ce said this, a determined look appeared on his face.

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivus nodded, not doubting what Xiao Ce said.

However, Cassie still asked Xiao Ce, "Sean, how much do you know about the situation here?"

Xiao Ce shook his head: "All I know is that the Illuminati has changed hands... Of course, whatever message you passed on to Father, that's what I know..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs nodded and then said to Xiao Ce, "Let me give you a brief overview. You should know the two people who are mainly in charge of management here. They are the former president of the Western Association and the former president of the East Asia Association, Ed White and Victor King..."

"They now both hold new positions: vice presidents of the Illuminati. One is in charge of affairs in Lingas City, and the other in the British Empire. It seems they've had a change of heart after the fall of Lingas City and are no longer willing to let the British Empire remain on their side; they must control the British Empire..."

"After Empress Boudica's disappearance, many rebels emerged within the British Empire, which is now controlled by the former Sion Capo..."

After hearing Cassivs's words, Xiao Ce nodded sharply: "Good... As expected, it's still that old bastard... That old bastard really didn't disappoint me... Has Boudica not been caught yet?"

Cassivs nodded to Xiao Ce, then said, "Indeed, Empress Boudica seems to have gone into hiding, and there's been no news of her..."

Xiao Ce nodded, then said to Cassivs, "By the way, you said I arrived just in time, what's that all about?"

Cassivs said to Xiao Ce, "Sean, the president of the Illuminati will be here today. He should make an appearance... Let all twelve families greet him. Then, this president of the Illuminati will hold a meeting for our twelve families..."

Upon hearing Cassivs's words, Xiao Ce immediately became interested: "Oh? The new president? Who is this new president?"

Xiao Ce was probably guessing that it was the original owner of the body.

However, what Cassievis said next changed his mind.

"This isn't the first time the president has come; she's been here before. However, she's never shown her true face before... All we know is that the new president is a woman!"
