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

Let us drink this cup together!

With just one simple sentence from the female president, the people in the first and second seats started to fawn over her!

"The presence of the President to share Holy Communion with us is a testament to the Illuminati's continued favor and high expectations for our families. Thank you, President, and thank you, Illuminati!"

A new order has arrived, and the shadows of chaos and rebellion are being swept away. Let us raise a toast to this great new era, to the Illuminati of rebirth, and to our future! Cheers!

After the two people offered their flattering words, everyone, whether sincerely or not, shouted in unison: "To the great new era! To the everlasting covenant!"

After everyone had a drink...

The female president slowly sat down, then waved her hand, indicating that everyone could start eating.

The female president said that, but no one moved.

The female president addressed the crowd: "You have all likely heard about some of the changes within the Illuminati. The previous Illuminati bishops betrayed the Illuminati... they collaborated with the opposition, so we have purged the Illuminati from within and corrected the Illuminati's tendency to stray further down the wrong path..."

"Everyone knows about this, right? Does anyone have any different opinions?"

It's clear that the female president's statement was based on everyone's perspective.

People here would only voice their opinions if they were completely out of their minds.

However, Xiao Ce underestimated the patriarchs of these families.

I thought they would soon agree.

However, with the support of the Mergrave family, who held the first and second positions, and the Joles family, the situation changed.

"President, of course we know. Previously, we were only following the orders of the Four Cardinals. That's why we colluded with those opponents and the pirates..."

"Yes, thanks to the President and the new bishops for purging the Illuminati, we avoided going down that wrong path..."

The Mergrave family, and the Joles family, were originally affiliated with the Illuminati.

After the two family patriarchs spoke, the other family patriarchs said nothing, but simply smiled and nodded in agreement.

However, this statement still greatly displeased the female president.

The female president looked directly at Cassivus: "You are... Cassivus, right?"

When the female president called his name directly, Cassivus stood up and said to her, "President, yes... that is me. I am now the head of the Aurelius family."

As she spoke, the female president glanced at Xiao Ce and Kate standing to the side.

Xiao Ce showed no fear at all, and simply said to the female president, "President, I am Sean Aurelius, the ninth son of the Aurelius family!"

The female president nodded.

Kate then introduced herself: "President, my name is Kate, Kate Aurelius... I am the third generation of the Aurelius family..."

The female president nodded as she listened to the three people introduce themselves: "Good, the Aurelius family also attaches great importance to this matter and has sent the three of you."

“Just now, the heads of the Joles and Mergrave families expressed their opinions. You only nodded. What does that nod mean?”

Cassivs Aurelius respectfully addressed the female president, saying, "President, we naturally agree. Actually, we had our doubts before. Now that you've appeared, the truth has been revealed... We naturally support you..."

After listening to Cassies's words, the female president smiled and nodded, not making things too difficult for them.

Instead, they contacted other families and asked them.

None of the families had answered initially, but after being called upon by the female president, they all expressed their agreement.

Just then, the female president nodded: "I know that although you say you agree and support me, you must have your own doubts in your hearts..."

“The previous Illuminati was controlled by the former agent Yin, namely Yin Pan’er, and Xiao Ce, namely Mr. Ce whom you know or have heard of.”

Xiao Ce was taken aback when the female president suddenly mentioned his name...

However, seeing that it was only his name that was mentioned, he remained calm.

At this moment, the female president didn't stop and continued, "I believe you've all heard about Xiao Ce's identity..."

At this moment, most of the clan leaders looked at each other, none of them indicating that they recognized Xiao Ce.

Instead, their eyes were full of doubt...

"President, we don't know anything about Xiao Ce's identity. We only know that his relationship with Agent Yin is not simple... We don't know much else..."

"Yes, President, we shouldn't know the answer to that. Please tell us..."

The patriarchs of these families all spoke up, saying that some of them genuinely didn't know, while others were pretending not to.

The female president nodded and began to talk about Xiao Ce.

"Alright, it seems that none of you know much about Xiao Ce, so I'll tell you about him."

"That Xiao Ce is the ruler of East Asia. The famous East Asian naval battle, in which so many of our Western compatriots were killed, was his doing."

"This Xiao Ce was a vicious and ruthless man. He used his brutal methods to sweep across East Asia, leaving no country unscathed in his invasions. The local people fared even worse, being enslaved by him..."

The female president spoke vividly about it.

To be honest, if the person the female president was referring to wasn't Xiao Ce himself...

Xiao Ce almost believed it.

The female president's words about Xiao Ce's brutality had an effect.

The faces of these family patriarchs were all extremely grim.

The female president continued, "Xiao Ce came to the West with only one purpose: to conquer and slaughter us. Previously, the East Asia president used Japan to invade their country, and they've blamed us for that. Therefore, they want to enslave us all... to make our people forever subservient to them..."

"So, gentlemen, tell me, can we let him succeed?"

The female president's few words immediately drew shouts of "No...no..." from the crowd.

Although it sounded like the crowd was indignant, Xiao Ce found it interesting to listen to from the side.

It's obvious that these family patriarchs aren't stupid.

They didn't believe everything the female president said.

After all, some family patriarchs actually know what Lingas City was like before and what it is like now.

Although these family patriarchs weren't particularly fond of their beliefs, such as equality for all.

However, what they knew was that what Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er did was neither beneficial nor harmful to them.

Some people still believe there are benefits to this.

Actually, if the female president wasn't exaggerating too much, and simply said that Xiao Ce and his group's ideas might harm their interests, they would still believe her from that perspective...

However, the things the female president is saying now are completely treating them like fools.

They didn't think Xiao Ce would do that; they just felt the female president was making a fool of them.

However, due to the influence behind the female president, they only offered perfunctory praise.

In fact, Nie Bing's approach was also a copy of Xiao Ce's previous methods.

However, it is clear that Nie Bing did not conduct any investigation before coming here.

Nie Bing was using the same tactics Xiao Ce had used in the Xiao Kingdom, but these tactics didn't seem to work well here.

In fact, the female president could tell from everyone's perfunctory replies.

"Do you all think what I just said was alarmist?"

As the female guild leader spoke, the clan leaders all smiled awkwardly and said no.

Then he looked first at Xiao Ce's position.

Xiao Ce was both amused and exasperated after being looked at like that.

Is there some appeal to this?

Xiao Ce had no doubt that she had discovered him.

The reason the female president looked towards Xiao Ce was entirely because of the Joles family. The Mergrave family and the Illuminati were essentially lackeys of the Illuminati, and it would be difficult to get any truth out of them.

The Aurelius family has always had a good relationship with the Illuminati. The reason they sought out Xiao Ce was because Cassivs, as a member of the family, would surely say that he was much more handsome... But looking at Sean Aurelius, he couldn't quite put his finger on it either.

There's a sense of familiarity when I look at him.

"Mr. Sean, what do you say?"

After the female president made it clear, Xiao Ce naturally stood up.

At this moment, Cassies also got up to try to help, but before Cassies could speak...

The female president then addressed Cassivis, saying, "Cassivis, the reason I sought out your brother is because I wanted to hear the truth. A family patriarch like you must be good with words... You don't need to speak; let Sean answer me..."

After the female president said that, Cassies nodded.

Although his expression was slightly embarrassed, he wasn't worried at all.

Because he knew who the person next to him was.

This person is truly remarkable.

At this moment, Xiao Ce stood up, looking embarrassed, and said to the female president, "President, you really know how to choose people... I'm not very good at speaking..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, the female president revealed a sly smile beneath her mask, and then said, "I don't need you to be too eloquent; I need you to tell the truth..."

"I've noticed that people don't seem very honest with me... Everyone seems a bit wary of me... But when I met you, I felt an instant connection... I felt you were someone I could be honest with..."

"Sean, I'll let you speak... tell the truth..."

After hearing the female president's words, Xiao Ce thought to himself, "You really know how to pick people..."

From a certain perspective, this female president actually has a very good eye for talent...

Upon hearing the female president's words, Xiao Ce looked embarrassed and then said to her, "President... I can tell you the truth... but sometimes, the truth might not be so pleasant to hear..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the female president smiled and said, "Sean, I didn't come here to listen to your echoes. My goal is the resurgence of the West. I want more than just the West to rise again; I want you to uproot East Asia and bring it into our territory, into the territory of your families..."

"Therefore, I want you all to trust me, not just agree with me..."

Before Xiao Ce could speak, the female president continued, "It seems, Mr. Sean, you do indeed have a lot of truth to tell me..."

At that moment, the patriarchs of the twelve families all looked at the Aurelius family with meaningful expressions.

After all, they didn't really agree with what the female president said.

Moreover, he also sensed that the female president wasn't entirely sincere...

However, as the female president said... sometimes speaking the truth can really hurt people...

They didn't want to offend them either.

The female president just described Xiao Ce as a bloodthirsty demon.

The heads of these families expressed doubt about what she said.

However, they had a question mark about the female president in front of them.

After all, they didn't know who this female president was; all they knew was that the person behind her was someone who dared to slaughter even the headquarters of the Illuminati...

These kinds of people are not to be trifled with, so they dare not speak the truth.

However, they don't say it themselves, but they still hope others will say it...

After all, as long as they aren't the ones who suffer, they don't really care...

Therefore, they all adopted a spectator's attitude and expression.

At this moment, Xiao Ce naturally adopted a hesitant demeanor. Cassivs, playing along perfectly, stood up, forcing an awkward smile: "President, my brother usually keeps to himself and has an eccentric personality. His views and attitudes don't necessarily represent the majority... Besides, what he says might offend you... Let's just leave it at that... We have no other opinions..."

Hearing Cassivs trying to smooth things over, the female president wanted Xiao Ce to speak even more.

"Chief Cassivus, don't try to smooth things over. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who can't take criticism... or can't stand different opinions... If he's right, I'll reward him. If he's wrong, I absolutely won't punish him, much less hold it against him..."

"We don't know each other very well. Today, I'm here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you all... Only when everyone puts aside their own achievements can we cooperate seamlessly, right?"

“Come on, Sean Aurelius, just say it…”
