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

Upon hearing Nie Bing's words, Xiao Ce couldn't help but chuckle.

Others may not understand, but doesn't he?

However, Xiao Ce naturally pretended not to know anything at this moment...

"President, we should have received some news by now. Haven't you received anything? It should be about time..."

After hearing Xiao En's (Xiao Ce's) words, Nie Bing shook her head and said, "I haven't received any news... I've only received reports every now and then, just saying we're waiting..."

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "That's right, no news is actually very good news..."

Nie Bing gave a wry smile, then said, "That's true... but no news for a long time can't be good news, can it..."

Xiao Ce nodded in agreement: "Let's wait a little longer, perhaps the good news is already on its way..."

After listening to Xiao En's (Xiao Ce's) words, Nie Bing nodded and then said, "That's right, it is indeed possible..."

Just then, Xiao Ce smiled at Nie Bing and said, "By the way, where are the monarchs of those countries that came from the sea, the leaders of the twelve families, and the patriarchs of those families? They should have arrived long ago..."

After hearing Sean (Xiao Ce)'s words, Nie Bing smiled and said, "That's right. However, these people discussed it before coming. They said they felt it would be troublesome for us to come individually, so they joined forces... They decided to come together once everyone was assembled..."

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Xiao Ce nodded and looked at Nie Bing with a meaningful smile.

When Nie Bing saw Xiao En's (Xiao Ce) smile, her expression became even more interesting.

He then said, "Mr. Sean, don't you think they weren't telling the truth...?"

Xiao Ce nodded, making no attempt to hide anything: "Of course, it's obvious they all understand. They must have discussed it with each other before coming... The Western Alliance is indeed a great temptation for them, but they also understand one thing: with the power of any one of their countries, or any one of their families, they are like ants before our Illuminati..."

"However, once they unite, they are indeed a force to be reckoned with... Their coming together is clearly part of their strategy against us, aiming to secure a place within the Western Alliance in the future... and also to increase our influence..."

Nie Bing was quite satisfied with Sean's (Xiao Ce's) words and said, "That's right, Mr. Sean, you're right... That's what I was thinking too, but looking at your expression, you don't seem worried at all..."

Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "What's there to be afraid of...isn't this a good thing?"

Clearly, Sean's (Xiao Ce's) words elicited a flicker of doubt and confusion in Nie Bing's eyes...

"Is this a good thing? If they really unite, then in some ways they could be evenly matched with us... In that case, wouldn't we be..."

Upon hearing Nie Bing's words, Xiao Ce realized that Nie Bing was nothing more than a pretty face.

In terms of ability alone, Nie Bing is far inferior to Yin Pan'er...

With such limited knowledge, he is truly of little use.

In fact, this also gave Xiao Ce more confidence in dealing with the original owner of the body.

The reason is simple: this incident reveals that the original owner of this body wasn't very knowledgeable either...

Xiao Ce continued to explain to Nie Bing, "President, you're right... However, you should know the plan I gave you... We're not afraid of them uniting, but rather of them not uniting... Moreover, the conditions I offered them in the plan were already quite generous..."

"Anyway, our principle is that we can concede profits, but they need to relinquish their military power and hand it over to the Alliance for control. Furthermore, we will retain control of future research and development achievements and advanced technologies. Our goal in establishing the Alliance University is precisely this... to attract a large pool of talent..."

"We can give them whatever they want... and once we have these core technologies, if they disobey us, we can give them what they want, and naturally, we can take it back..."

After hearing Sean's (Xiao Ce's) words, Nie Bing nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Sean... what you say is true... so you mean, even if they make some unreasonable demands... we can agree..."

Xiao Ce nodded again, then said to Nie Bing, "President, that's good... I still maintain that as long as it's not a matter of principle... I think it's not a big problem..."

After hearing Sean's (Xiao Ce's) words, Nie Bing nodded: "Okay, Mr. Sean, if you say it's no problem... then I know it must be no problem..."

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Xiao Ce gave an awkward smile: "President, perhaps my ideas aren't quite right either..."

Nie Bing waved her hand, her expression solemn as she said to Xiao Ce, "How could it be wrong? I think your ideas are absolutely correct... Alright, Mr. Sean, I believe you... Facts have proven that my belief in you was correct... In the future, when the leaders of those Western countries arrive, I will still need your help..."

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "President, this is necessary...this is certain...I will definitely do it...it's just..."

Seeing that Sean (Xiao Ce) looked somewhat hesitant, Nie Bing asked directly, "Mr. Sean, what concerns do you have?"

Xiao Ce said to Nie Bing, "President, the greater your trust, the greater my pressure... I'm truly afraid that one day I'll make a mistake, or misjudge..."

Nie Bing looked at Sean (Xiao Ce) with a very serious expression and said, "Mr. Sean, do you think I'm the kind of person who would betray someone after using them?"

Before Nie Bing could finish speaking, Xiao Ce interrupted her.

"No, no, no...of course not...of course not...I'm just...afraid of letting you down..."

Nie Bing was quite satisfied with Xiao En's (Xiao Ce's) attitude...

"I know, Mr. Sean, don't worry. What I want to say is that no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes... Even with repeated setbacks, I choose to trust you and won't blame you..."

Looking at Nie Bing's determined eyes, Xiao Ce was very pleased. The brainwashing during this period had been quite successful.

At this point, it was perfectly timed for him to begin expressing his loyalty.

"President, I will absolutely not let you down..."

Nie Bing smiled and said, "I believe you..."

While they were exchanging pleasantries, Victor King, lying in ambush in the mountains far away on the side of the British Empire, was contemplating death...

The reason was simple... because after waiting for several days, overnight, the entire group of refugees vanished into thin air...

Yes, it just vanished into thin air...

At first, they set up some scout posts to check from time to time, but the reports from the scouts all said that everything was normal, except that they were short of food and clothing and their movements were slow.

Today, the scouts who were supposed to come and report back have vanished as if they've disappeared into thin air...

He then sent his personal guards to investigate, and found that their entire scout squadron had disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, their own guards went to investigate, but there were no refugees at all; not a single refugee was seen along the way...

Listen, that's the reply from his personal guard.

Viktor King felt his head was spinning...

He said to his personal guard, "You mean, our entire scout squadron vanished into thin air, and not only that, hundreds of thousands of refugees who should have been nearby have also disappeared without a trace..."

The guard's face was grim, even though he knew the matter sounded somewhat unbelievable...

However, that is indeed the case...

“Vice President Victor…that’s right…we already went to look for him on our way…but we haven’t heard from him at all…”

"And...and...we asked around in some of the cities along the way, and they all said there were no refugee caravans at all. There were some at the beginning...but they're long gone now..."

Viktor King's face turned ashen. He then turned to his guards and asked, "So, what's the story behind the message from our scout squadron?"

Viktor King already had an answer in his heart, but clearly, he was finding it hard to accept...

The guards, naturally, followed Victor King's lead and told the truth: "Vice President...it's obvious that our scout team gave us false information; they didn't take that route at all...and, according to the information I have now, it seems...those refugees have already managed to get through our blockade using various methods..."

Victor King's face turned ashen: "You mean, my scout squad, my eyes, were all bribed by them..."

The guard shook his head: "It's not that it's definitely like that, but it's very likely..."

Viktor King slumped into a chair, remaining silent for a long time...

Victor King asked his bodyguard, "Are you sure?"

The guard, his face grim, said, "It's almost certain... though there's no concrete evidence..."

After a moment's thought, Victor King asked his personal guards, "How many people know about this?"

The guard whispered to Viktor King, "Don't worry, Vice President. When we sent our guards to search before, I suspected something was amiss, so we only chose people we could absolutely trust..."

Viktor King finally breathed a sigh of relief, then said to his guards, "Alright, they can all keep their mouths shut, right..."

The guard nodded firmly: "Vice President, these are all your trusted confidants from when you were the president of the Western Association... absolutely no problem..."

Viktor King said with a grim expression, "Fine, then go and invite all my staff over..."
