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

After hearing Viktor King's words, the guard nodded and then went out.

After watching his guards leave, Victor King swallowed hard, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

He knew very well that if Nie Bing, who already harbored suspicions about him, found out about this, it would be disastrous.

So what kind of reaction would that be...?

Thinking about this, I felt a tingling sensation in my feet, followed by a fine sweat breaking out on my forehead...

...

His staff members all lived nearby, so they all came over after being notified by his personal guards.

However, they were all somewhat unsure of what to do.

When asked, Viktor's personal guards also refused to say anything.

However, after these staff members arrived at Viktor King's residence...

They discovered that several of Viktor's staff members had been summoned.

They knew something serious must have happened...

If it weren't something important, these people wouldn't have come all together...

When they arrived, they noticed that Viktor King's expression was not good.

Moreover, the atmosphere inside the entire tent became extremely oppressive...

After these staff members went in, they didn't say anything, but just waited quietly to the side.

Victor King remained silent until he saw his men approaching.

Viktor King remained seated in his chair, showing no intention of getting up...

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to get up, it's just that at this moment, his legs were really a little weak...

Viktor King addressed his staff, "Gentlemen, you are all men I, Viktor, can trust! Men I can entrust my life to... You know this, don't you..."

After witnessing Viktor King's actions and hearing his words, the staff members nodded in agreement.

"That's right, President, you're absolutely right... We've been through thick and thin together for so long, and no matter what, I'll always be loyal to you to the death..."

"Yes, President, what happened? Or is it time for the final battle?"

...

The five advisors in the tent were all speaking in unison with Viktor King...

After seeing what these people said, Victor King nodded, somewhat relieved.

"Alright, what I'm about to tell you might involve my life, and even yours... If you're afraid of dying, I won't force you out of consideration for our master-servant relationship... If you're afraid to listen, or don't want to listen, you can leave now..."

After Victor King said this, the people around him looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Some of the more diplomatic individuals were the first to speak up: "President, we're not afraid to die... We'd die for you..."

After one person made an initial statement, the other staff members began to follow suit.

He then said, "That's right, President, that's exactly it... Without you all, I wouldn't be where I am today..."

"That's right, President, no matter what happens, we will stand with you through thick and thin..."

The staff members have never changed their way of addressing Viktor King; they called him Chairman before, and they haven't changed that title even after he became Vice Chairman.

These advisors were all operating in the shadows, and they were all intelligent people.

Therefore, Victor King was never bothered by the way they addressed him and never asked them to change it.

After they finished speaking, they all stared at Viktor King with wide, curious eyes, full of anticipation.

Seeing this, Victor King said to them, "Alright, since everyone has decided to stay here... then we should all decide to stick together..."

The group listened to Viktor King's words, and although they didn't quite understand, they all nodded in agreement...

Viktor King didn't beat around the bush either.

"Gentlemen, we've run into trouble. Our scout squadron has very likely been bribed by Morgana and her group... The information they gave us was all false... Morgana's team didn't follow our planned route at all... Just yesterday, the entire scout squadron vanished..."

"I sent people to search, but along the way... instead of the usual throngs of refugees, we didn't see a single one. Even the people in the towns along the route said they hadn't seen any refugees coming... So, it's clear... we've all been fooled..."

After this period of consideration, Victor King has calmed down considerably.

However, after hearing this, the staff members' faces turned extremely grim: "President, are you sure? Wasn't the commander of the scout brigade someone you personally promoted? Someone you absolutely trust... Anyone could betray you... but he wouldn't..."

"Yes, the scout regiment commander has no reason to betray you... this..."

After hearing his advisor's words, Viktor King gave a bitter smile and said, "You know, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Besides, I only said he betrayed me... but I don't know if it was voluntary, passive, or something else... This is the result now... We've been tricked, they slipped through our lines, that's the truth... So, how should we deal with this situation..."

The staff members all looked grim after hearing Viktor King's words.

They were all stunned by the news, their minds went blank, and they didn't know what to say...

Viktor King wasn't surprised by their reaction...

Because when he first learned of this news, he was actually even more confused.

Therefore, after Viktor King finished speaking, he didn't rush to ask them any questions.

After a good ten minutes, one of the aides spoke up: "President... I think we should truthfully report to the current President of the Illuminati..."

Before Victor King could speak, the other staff members immediately expressed their differing opinions.

"No... I absolutely can't... That woman already had a lot of suspicion about our president... If we do this now... the consequences will be unimaginable... If we go and tell her, there's no doubt we'll label her a traitor... We absolutely cannot tell her..."

“That’s right, I think so too… The current chairman is quite suspicious of our Chairman Victor. If we tell them the truth… then we’ll only be facing certain death. We might as well take a gamble…”

Upon hearing his aide's words, Viktor King asked curiously, "Take a gamble? How?"
