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

Nie Bing quickly swiped her hand across the light screen to reply. She didn't dare hide anything and recounted everything that had just happened...

He then added his analysis above: "[...Your Excellency, I believe that the information you obtained is also part of his plan...]"

Nie Bing spent a lot of effort editing the message, and then sent it...

However, at that moment, a long line of text appeared in the chat box.

[Message being sent...]

[Signal interrupted, transmission failed...]

Nie Bing saw this scene and then looked at the robot on the side.

"How is this going?"

The robot remained emotionless before saying to Nie Bing, "The signal has been lost, I don't know the situation..."

Nie Bing frowned and quickly took out a controller-like device from her phone.

After trying it, there was indeed no response.

Just then, Nie Bing said with a grim expression, "Could it be that there's another problem?"

The robot did not provide an answer...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Ce boarded Aurelius's ship and, after confirming that he was safe,...

Lingxu was then instructed to shut down the Star Network Mechanism.

Because Xiao Ce did indeed use the Star Network Hub just now, but he knew very well that once the Star Network Hub was activated, their previously interrupted communications would be restored...

Therefore, after confirming that he did not need the Star Network Hub, Xiao Ce still chose to shut it down.

There is a cooldown period after this Star Network Hub is shut down.

However, Xiao Ce has already achieved his goal.

After Xiao Ce finished all these tasks, he realized that Cassies and Kate were both looking at him with admiration.

Looking at their eyes, Xiao Ce had no doubt that they regarded him as a god.

Just then, Xiao Ce said to Cassivs and Kate, "Kate, Cassivs, why are you looking at me like that? I'm just a person, don't treat me like a god... I'm just a person..."

Then, Xiao Ce said to Kate, "Kate, you saw what just happened, right..."

Kate said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, that's a miracle..."

Xiao Ce was speechless when he heard Kate say that. He then said to Kate, "That's not what I asked you to say. Is this not true?"

Kate nodded to Xiao Ce, then said, "That's right, Lord Xiao Ce, is this really true...? That's why I said it's a miracle..."

Xiao Ce said to Kate, "This isn't some miracle, it's just technology..."

Seeing the two's confused expressions, Xiao Ce said to Kate and Cassivs, "Cassivs, Kate, I've discussed this so-called technology with Mr. Ux. I can't explain it to you in just a few words..."

"Next, let me tell you about my plan."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Kate and Cassie nodded and then said nothing more.

Just listen attentively...

"Actually, this action today wasn't my intention. If I hadn't been exposed beforehand, I wouldn't have done it... But there are advantages to doing it this way."

"After all, the family patriarchs saw what I did at the docks. Seeing that will plant a seed in their minds..."

"Furthermore, the people of Lingas City will surely think I am a god... This kind of news will spread like wildfire, which will be beneficial for our subsequent resistance against the Illuminati here..."

"I also managed to rescue my key partners... Of course, the most important thing now is that Nie Bing will definitely trust me completely... I doubt they'll have any doubts about the Aurelius family..."

"This really does kill two birds with one stone..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassievis and Kate nodded and then said, "That's right, Mr. Xiao Ce, you're right... So what do we do next?"

Xiao Ce said to Cassivis, "Still the same, we'll deal with whatever comes our way..."

Then Xiao Ce said to Cassivis, "There's one more thing, about how you address me..."

Cassivs gave an awkward smile, then said to Xiao Ce, "Ninth Brother..."

At this moment, Kate looked at Xiao Ce with excited and expectant eyes.

After looking at Xiao Ce, he seemed to have eyes full of expectation and said to Xiao Ce, "Ninth Master, what do you think of my performance this time?"

Xiao Ce gave Kate a thumbs up and said, "Not bad, very good... You see, only under these circumstances can a person be truly tempered... You did a great job..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs gave an awkward smile, then said to Xiao Ce, "Ninth Brother, you're really brave to do this... How could an ordinary person dare to do this?"

Xiao Ce smiled, then said to Cassivs, "Actually, within my control, isn't it better for him to face this so-called desperate situation than for him to face a desperate situation later when there is no more control over him?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs nodded and then said, "That's right, Ninth Master, you're absolutely right..."

"Then what's next..."

Xiao Ce was unaware that Nie Bing's assessment of him was that he thought a hundred steps ahead for every one step he took.

He was indeed like that before, always thinking a hundred steps ahead for every one step he took.

However, things are completely different now...

Having experienced so much, Xiao Ce realized that the idea of ​​"planning for the future" was actually just needless worry.

Because no matter how capable Xiao Ce is, his calculations are all within his own understanding.

Many things are simply beyond our comprehension; for example, after he transmigrated, the original owner of this body was still there.

For example, some technologies, machines, and even robots that shouldn't exist here at all are here.

All of this was something he never expected.

Therefore, after experiencing so many things, Xiao Ce's state of mind underwent a significant change.

He's only focused on making immediate plans now.

Xiao Ce then said to Cassivs, "From now on, let's just see what happens. Third Brother, weren't you doing really well at the port? I'll initiate the fight, and you follow up..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs gave an awkward smile: "I hope I haven't caused you any trouble... I actually suspect that Victor King has been relentlessly targeting us because of my unnecessary actions..."

Looking at Cassie's eyes, which held a hint of guilt...

Xiao Ce smiled at Cassivs and then said, "You did a great job... not at all superfluous... From now on, everyone, just keep it up..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs smiled gratefully and said, "Alright, Ninth Brother, as long as it doesn't cause you any trouble or annoyance..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Cassivis and then said, "Third Brother, you're too kind..."

Then Xiao Ce said to Cassivis, "Third Brother, you seem to have something to say? Don't hold back because of what happened earlier... I like people who speak their minds..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs smiled and nodded, then said, "Okay, everything will be as you say. I'm just worried about those people from Lingas City. Actually, we won just now because of the commotion you made."

"That omnipresent voice did create a sense of pressure, and the sudden appearance of guns by the civilians was quite unexpected. After all, the Illuminati initially had the upper hand, but the sudden reversal threw everyone into disarray... which gave them the advantage."

"The clan leaders were also afraid of death, and seeing the clan leaders scatter and flee, the Illuminati leader temporarily left... Now, once they recover and return to fight... those people simply cannot withstand them..."

"So, should we send someone to warn them not to hold out there...? My concern is that they might think they have divine help and just stubbornly resist..."

After hearing Cassivs' concerns, Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Yes, your worries are valid... However, I've already told them... Morgana will handle everything..."

Cassivs stared at Xiao Ce's confident smile for a moment, then nodded to him, "Ninth Brother, I guess I was overthinking it..."

Xiao Ce smiled, waved his hand, and then said to Cassivs, "It's alright, you're right. It's better to speak out than to keep it to yourself... Besides, my ideas are always limited; we still need to brainstorm..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs smiled and then said, "Yes, Ninth Brother..."

In fact, Cassies did not understand his father Ux's actions and decisions before.

But he did as instructed.

He did as he was told because he trusted Ux.

However, after experiencing this incident, Cassivs completely admired Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce is clearly a very capable person; he has the ability, yet he is still so approachable.

Cassies knew very well that this was a skill, not something he was born with.

In particular, Cassivus discovered many admirable qualities in Xiao Ce, such as his composure in the face of danger and his ability to remain calm under any circumstances, qualities that he himself admired.

So now, he understood why his father had chosen Xiao Ce's faction.

He now admires him sincerely.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

It was some of Cassivs' trusted men who opened the door.

Cassiv's trusted subordinate said, "Chief, the Illuminati has sent a beehive to inquire about our situation. They then invited you to board their ship and asked us to move closer to their fleet."

"They will send the Lannister Navy to escort us..."

After hearing his trusted subordinate's words, Cassivs nodded and said, "No problem... Go tell them we're on our way... Tell the captain we're heading towards the Illuminati's warships..."

After hearing Cassivs's words, his trusted subordinates paused for a moment, then remained silent.

Cassivs asked his trusted subordinate, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The trusted subordinate bowed to Cassivus and said, "Patriarch, if I may be frank, the Illuminati now has great suspicions about Ninth Master, and even about our entire Aurelius family... If we go back and leave now, they won't do anything to us?"

"But if we obediently go back, we might be walking into the lion's den..."

Cassivs smiled upon hearing his trusted subordinate's sincere advice, then said, "Don't worry. The Illuminati's leader isn't stupid. We have nothing to hide... Just do as he says. Sean has already proven himself with his actions... There won't be any problems..."

After hearing Cassie's words, his trusted subordinate nodded.

Just left directly.

Cassivs looked at Xiao Ce and asked, "Ninth Brother, is it alright for me to do this?"

Xiao Ce returned Cassivs's smile and then said, "No problem, of course no problem... I've done so much just to gain Nie Bing's trust..."

"If I leave now, all that elaborate act I just put on would have been for nothing..."

Cassivs nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "By the way, Ninth Brother, what about your face..."

Xiao Ce knew what Cassivs was talking about, and with a thought, he created a wound on his forehead, making it appear as if it were swollen and red.

Seeing Xiao Ce suddenly become injured, Cassivs exclaimed that it was a miracle...

Seeing this, Xiao Ce said to Cassivs, "By the way, don't let slip what I just said about Nie Bing. Because Nie Bing has never revealed her name, has she..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivus nodded emphatically: "Ninth Brother, I was just about to ask... do you know this chairman?"

After hearing Cassivs's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right, we do know each other, and we were even partners a long, long time ago..."

Seeing Cassivs's curious expression, Xiao Ce gave a wry smile and said, "But none of that matters anymore... it's all in the past..."

Cassivs nodded, then nodded to Xiao Ce, and continued to ask, "Ninth Brother, is there anything else you need to say?"

Xiao Ce waved his hand, then said to Cassivs, "No need, you are all smart people...you did a great job, believe in yourselves!"
