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

After hearing what Ed White said, Nie Bing's expression became intriguing.

"Alright, let him go then..."

As she spoke, Nie Bing suddenly thought of something: "What if he really is a spy... then wouldn't they all know about Mr. Sean's plan? In that case, wouldn't we just be letting them all go?"

Ed White nodded after hearing Nie Bing's words: "That is indeed possible. However, Guild Master, those people from Lingas City are gone... It doesn't really affect us..."

"Actually, the bigger reason we're dealing with them now is to prevent Xiao Ce and his group from succeeding so quickly..."

"So, if Mr. Sean's plan succeeds, that would be the best outcome... Of course, if it fails... well, it's alright... We can still catch the spies among us, which is actually a good thing..."

"What's more important for us right now is developing this area and helping the Sion family consolidate the British Empire... After all, if Xiao Ce wants to fight us here, he definitely needs to compete for the British imperial power... So, that's what's more important..."

Nie Bing was utterly astonished upon hearing Ed White's words...

Then, a look of realization crossed his face, and he said to Ed White, "Ed White, you're right... I really overlooked something in this regard... That's true... Ed White, it seems I underestimated you..."

"Or is it that you've been hiding your own intelligence?"

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Ed White smiled and said, "No, President, I just didn't show off... After all, we haven't known each other for very long. I believe that a lot of wisdom doesn't need to be shown off. Deliberately showing off would only seem contrived..."

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing smiled and nodded, "Ed White, it seems I still need to get to know you again..."

Ed White gave an awkward smile: "President, I didn't mean to... I was just being normal..."

Nie Bing smiled and said, "I know..."

Ed White didn't continue the conversation, nor did he linger. He bowed directly to Nie Bing and said, "President, well then, I'll go find Mr. Sean now..."

Nie Bing nodded.

Ed White then left respectfully.

"Ed White".

Ed White hadn't walked far when he heard Nie Bing calling out to him.

Upon hearing Nie Bing's call, Ed White stopped and glanced at her...

"President, is there anything else you need?"

Nie Bing beckoned to Ed White in a mysterious manner.

After seeing Nie Bing's appearance, Ed White asked mysteriously, "President, is there a problem on your end?"

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing lowered her voice and said, "After you go to Sean's side, keep an eye on him for me..."

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Ed White looked at her sharply: "President, you suspect him..."

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing waved her hand: "I wouldn't say I doubt him... but we can't place all our trust in one person..."

Ed White smiled and then said, "President, you're right... I'll do it..."

Nie Bing nodded after hearing Ed White's words.

Ed White continued, turning to Nie Bing, "By the way, President, you can also arrange for someone to keep an eye on me. I'm as good as gold, I fear no fire..."

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing smiled but didn't respond.

Although he didn't respond, his words were enough to demonstrate his attitude...

After saying a few words, Ed White prepared to leave...

Just as Ed White reached the door, Nie Bing said to him, "Ed, I won't spy on you... I've already said that to you, which means I absolutely trust you..."

Upon hearing Nie Bing's words, Ed White immediately broke into a bright smile and said to Nie Bing, "President, I know..."

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing smiled and didn't continue.

Ed White simply left.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Ce was quickly writing and drawing on that sheet.

When the guards returned, Xiao Ce was not surprised after hearing the story.

Just then, a sound came from outside the door.

Xiao Ce heard the voice outside the door and knew without a doubt that it was Ed White.

After all, Victor King has a mission right now, and Ed White was just with Nie Bing.

They're definitely here to find work...

Just then, Xiao Ce said to the door, "Come in."

Ed White opened the door at that moment.

When Xiao Ce saw Ed White standing at the door, he smiled and said, "Vice President Ed, I knew you'd be here around that time..."

After hearing Sean's (Xiao Ce's) words, Ed White smiled and then said, "Mr. Sean, did you guess I would come?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Ed White, then nodded and said, "Not bad, I guess so... Come, have a seat..."

Ed White didn't say much, went straight to Xiao Ce, and then bowed respectfully.

Ed White immediately replied, "Yes, sir."

Seeing Ed White's expression, Xiao Ce gestured for him to sit down and then asked, "Vice President Ed, I have something to discuss with you..."

Ed White smiled upon hearing Sean's (Xiao Ce's) words and then said, "Sir, you said... the Chairman has instructed me to unconditionally support you... to support any action you take..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's good. I'll have Viktor handle those unrest. Won't you feel resentful?"

Ed White shook his head immediately after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then said to Sean (Xiao Ce), "Sir, of course not... I know you must have your reasons for doing this..."

Upon hearing Ed's words, Xiao Ce's face immediately showed a look of suspicion: "A deeper meaning?"

Ed White didn't hide anything, nor did he pretend.

He then said to Sean (Xiao Ce), "That's right, that's indeed the case... Isn't there one?"

Xiao Ce was taken aback for a moment: "I really didn't mean anything by it. What do you think I meant by it?"

Ed White paused, stunned, after seeing Sean's (Xiao Ce's) expression...

Because at this moment, his expression was indeed normal, and he certainly didn't seem to be aware of the situation.

He then said to Sean (Xiao Ce), "Isn't that right?"

Xiao Ce smiled, then smiled at Ed White, and said, "Of course not... Do you think I have some hidden meaning?"

Ed White stared at Sean (Xiao Ce) again, noticing that Xiao Ce's expression was genuinely sincere.

Xiao Ce then said to Ed White, "Tell me... I really don't know what you mean..."

Ed White nodded, and without hiding anything, said directly to Sean (Xiao Ce), "Sir, we thought that sending Victor was a test... to see if he was a traitor?"

After hearing Ed White's words, Xiao Ce suddenly understood...

So that's what he meant. Xiao Ce was surprised, but then a smile appeared on his face.

Although he didn't intend to test Ed White's loyalty, he was definitely planning to frame him...

Before, he was wondering if it would be easy to get rid of this blame, but now it seems it is quite easy...

"I really hadn't thought that far ahead... and besides, I don't have that much guts... After all, this plan was meticulously designed by me... I actually trust Viktor, and if I just wanted to test him, then I wouldn't have needed such a meticulous plan, would I?"

Upon hearing Sean (Xiao Ce) say this, Ed White realized that it was indeed true.

"So, Mr. Sean, you really haven't thought about that?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "I really hadn't thought that way, but it seems Viktor is still someone I can trust..."

He paused for a moment, then changed the subject, turning to Ed White and asking, "Vice President Ed, do you and the President still have doubts about him?"

"If that's really the case, I'll call him back immediately. You should go instead... This plan has truly taken a lot of my effort..."

After hearing Sean's (Xiao Ce's) words, Ed White smiled and waved his hand: "No...no...we thought that was what you were thinking...we naturally trust Mr. Victor."

Xiao Ce naturally knew what they were thinking, and deliberately said to Ed White, "You don't think I'm settling a personal score, do you... Gentlemen, you don't need to think that way... I'm not that low... I just thought Victor was trustworthy, that's why I let him do it... I had no other intentions..."

Hearing Sean (Xiao Ce) say this, Ed White kept waving his hands and then said, "No, no, no... no, we didn't think that way. Mr. Sean, your ability and character are trustworthy. Otherwise, the Chairman wouldn't have entrusted the most important Iron Man to you, wouldn't you say?"

Seeing this, Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, but what you said makes sense too. Testing Vice President Victor could also be interpreted as such..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce paused, then looked at Ed White...

Ed White only caught a glance from Sean (Xiao Ce) and immediately understood, saying, "Yes, yes, it seems we were oversimplifying things... Please, Mr. Sean, don't overthink it..."

As he spoke, Ed White cleverly changed the subject.

"Mr. Sean, is there anything you need my assistance with? Please just tell me what you need..."

Xiao Ce nodded to Ed White: "Getting off-topic, let's get back to the point. I really do have something to discuss with you... We need to divert traffic from Lingas City. Without people, the entire city is paralyzed... It will inevitably cause paralysis in various aspects... Soon, the people from the twelve families and the kings from various countries will arrive. If they see Lingas City in this desolate state, it will definitely have a significant impact on the Illuminati..."

Ed White smiled and nodded at Xiao Ce: "That's true, but for ordinary people, this is a chaotic world... so I'm afraid no one would be willing to come now... after all, from the outside perspective, the situation is uncertain..."

"Moreover, the storm has already begun! So, whenever a storm arises in the future, Lingas City will inevitably be at its eye... Therefore, Mr. Sean, do you have any good ideas...?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Ed White and then said, "Vice President Ed White, I do have a way... but I'm not sure if it's a good one..."

Ed White addressed Sean (Xiao Ce), saying, "Mr. Sean, you can speak... I'm all ears..."

Xiao Ce nodded, then said, "Actually, it's a very simple method. We just need to grasp people's psychology."

"If we just told everyone that we're hiring in Lingas City, what do you think people would think?"

Ed White said to Sean (Xiao Ce), "Everyone probably thinks we're just looking for cannon fodder, for laborers..."

Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "If we were to recruit top talent from around the world to the capital of the Western Alliance, raising the entry requirements and implementing rigorous selection methods, along with extremely generous benefits, to create a situation where Lingas City residents have an absolute advantage... then what would everyone do?"

Ed White's eyes brightened slightly after hearing Xiao Ce's words, but he still had some concerns.

"Mr. Sean, the method you mentioned is indeed feasible! But how exactly does it work?"

"How do you set such high requirements and offer such generous benefits to attract people? After all, Lingas City has just experienced a period of turmoil, which took away hundreds of thousands of people. Ordinary people, especially talented individuals, probably value safety the most."

"After all, anyone with some ability carries a certain amount of influence in the local area..."
