Ignoring his expression, Nie Bing continued, "I've done all this... for no other purpose... I don't seek power, I don't seek anything. If I wanted power, I wouldn't have had to travel all the way across the ocean to get here... I came here for only one purpose..."
Xiao Ce did not interrupt Nie Bing.
Because he already had a vague idea of what was going on.
Nie Bing said with absolute certainty, "My guess is very simple: Xiao Ce must die!"
After hearing Nie Bing's words, Xiao Ce looked at Nie Bing's gritted teeth.
He was very puzzled, because the hatred that Nie Bing was showing at this moment was almost tangible.
Seeing his overwhelming anger, Xiao Ce was still puzzled, because he and Nie Bing didn't have much interaction.
Nie Bing looked as if Xiao Ce had killed her entire family.
After saying a few words with a face full of resentment, Nie Bing turned to Sean (Xiao Ce) and said, "So, you don't need to steal my credit... As long as you can kill that Xiao Ce and make him die a horrible death, I'd even be willing to let you sit in this chairman's seat..."
Looking at Nie Bing's current demeanor, Xiao Ce could tell that he was serious and not lying...
Xiao Ce knew that if he forcefully disagreed now, it would make her suspicious.
Because, at this moment, after Nie Bing finished speaking, her eyes were fixed intently on Xiao Ce...
Xiao Ce smiled and then said to Nie Bing, "President, if you put it that way, then I have no problem..."
Nie Bing was initially wary of Xiao Ce because he seemed somewhat reluctant, but now that Xiao Ce had changed his tune, she immediately relaxed her guard.
Then he said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Sean, it's fine if you want to go back. But go see the bishop first, and then you can go back... The Western Alliance's formation, with all the details and time involved, can't be completed in less than six months..."
"Furthermore, judging from the current situation... Xiao Ce didn't intend to fight a local war with us as we had imagined... He probably fled... So, we have time to develop our strength..."
Xiao Ce nodded. At this moment, regardless of whether he wanted to see the bishop or not, he couldn't show any sign of not wanting to see him in front of Nie Bing.
"Alright, President, then we'll follow your arrangements... Shall we wait here? Or should we go over there to see His Holiness the Bishop...?"
Xiao Ce wanted to try and find out if he could get a hint of what was going on.
However, although Nie Bing couldn't identify him, she remained very wary...
"I'll contact you regarding the specifics... As for whether we'll go to see His Holiness the Bishop, or whether His Holiness the Bishop will come to us... I'll let you know when the time comes..."
After hearing Nie Bing's words, Xiao Ce nodded...
"Alright! Then, before I see His Excellency the Bishop, is there anything I can't say... anything I can't say..."
Xiao Ce deliberately acted flustered, but Nie Bing was quite satisfied with his performance.
She smiled and said, "It's alright, just be yourself... His Holiness the Bishop isn't a cold-blooded person... He's someone who extremely values and cherishes talent..."
Nie Bing was bragging about the original owner of this body, but Xiao Ce didn't listen to a word she said...
In his eyes, the original owner of this body wasn't exactly a smart person...
It's nothing more than acquiring some advanced weapons and equipment...
While thinking this in one's heart, one would naturally not reveal it at all...
Nie Bing didn't continue the topic: "I'm just mentioning it to you first. As for when I'll see His Holiness the Bishop, I'm not trying to hide anything from you... it's just that I really don't know..."
"His Excellency the Bishop is always elusive..."
Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "President, I understand..."
Nie Bing then turned to Xiao Ce and said, "By the way, you said you were going to the British Empire to investigate... Is there some problem there?"
Upon hearing Nie Bing's words, Xiao Ce naturally waved his hand and said, "President, of course not... No problem... I was mainly thinking that since the alliance was formed so smoothly this time, with the development of the Western Alliance, one alliance city will inevitably not be enough to meet the future development needs of the entire Western Alliance. In the future, annexing the British Empire will be an inevitable thing..."
"I just went to check it out on-site beforehand..."
Seeing Xiao Ce's words, Nie Bing had no doubt whatsoever and nodded in approval of his idea...
“Well, Mr. Sean, I knew I hadn’t misjudged you…you are indeed a meticulous person…but there’s no rush…we don’t know if anything will change during His Holiness the Bishop’s visit to us…”
Seeing this, Xiao Ce nodded, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Ce left directly.
On his way back, Xiao Ce began to struggle with his decision.
Was he staying behind to see the original owner of this body?
He should just slip away as fast as he can. If he wants to leave, he can easily make it look like he's been kidnapped.
However, if you do it this way, no matter how similar they are...
This will inevitably raise doubts for Nie Bing... Even if he returns in the future, it will certainly mean that all his previous efforts have been in vain.
However, if it were in the past, the original owner would definitely have had some even more powerful robots around him...
Even if I went there myself, there's no guarantee I'd survive...
However, if one can avoid being discovered, it's also possible to make close contact with the original owner of that body...
This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If he were to kill him outright, it might be a good opportunity.
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold...
Just then, Xiao Ce went to ask Ling Xu.
However, Lingxu wasn't entirely clear on this either...
Lingxu simply said that his method could block 99% of the discernment, but it could also determine what kind of person the other party was.
What kind of machine is facing them...?
Therefore, it cannot be said for certain that Lingxu is involved...
Xiao Ce was caught in a dilemma.
After he went back, Cassievis still came to find him.
After all, this was something Xiao Ce had told him beforehand.
Xiao Ce had said that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would be going back to the Roman Empire with them.
When Cassies saw Xiao Ce return, he got up to greet him.
Because Xiao Ce did not hide or conceal his emotions, Cassivus could immediately tell that Xiao Ce was preoccupied.
Cassivs said to Xiao Ce, "Ninth Brother, are you alright... What went wrong? Is the guild leader preventing you from leaving?"
Xiao Ce finally snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Cassievis, who was equally worried.
"Cassie, it's alright... everything went relatively smoothly... there were just some problems, so I probably won't be able to go with you..."
As Xiao Ce spoke, he glanced towards the door, and A Tie went to stand at the doorway.
Then he asked Cassies to sit down, and Cassies looked at him with a hint of doubt.
Before Cassivs could speak, Xiao Ce said, "Judging from the president's words, the bishop might be coming... he wants to see me..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs looked at him with a face full of worry...
"Is something wrong?"
Cassivs knew Xiao Ce's identity, and although he was worried, he still asked very discreetly...
Xiao Ce shook his head: "It's probably just their curiosity about me..."
Cassie nodded, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing the worried look on Cassivs's face, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Don't be afraid... it's definitely safe here... you can say whatever you want..."
Cassivs nodded: "Ninth Brother, that bishop is probably a thousand times more difficult to deal with than this president... Although you are quite capable... but... if you slip up, you'll be in deep trouble... with no way to escape... Do you want to go see him?"
Xiao Ce gave a bitter smile, then said, "I don't know... I want to go... but I also have concerns..."
Cassivs said to Xiao Ce, "Ninth Brother, perhaps we should forget about it... the risk is too great..."
After hearing Cassivs's words, Xiao Ce smiled helplessly, nodded, and said, "Of course I know... but you've forgotten... my initial purpose for coming here was to get close to that person... Now that I have such a good opportunity, why would I chicken out..."
Cassivs was stunned for a moment when Xiao Ce said that, unsure of what to say...
After all, he knew that Xiao Ce was a very decisive person.
What Xiao Ce wants to do, or what he doesn't want to do, is not something he can influence...
Just then, Cassivs asked Xiao Ce, "Then, Ninth Brother, what do you need me to do?"
Xiao Ce pondered for a moment, then said to Cassivs, "You go back first... If you find any problems on my side... have Xiao Yang, Yin Pan'er, and Morgana retreat to East Asia... In any case, the situation in East Asia is good now. No matter how powerful the West is, they can hold them off... You all go with them..."
Cassivs's expression darkened as he listened to Xiao Ce's words, which sounded like a deathbed farewell...
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Xiao Ce looked at Cassivs, whose expression was even more disgusting than if he had eaten shit, and laughed...
He turned directly to Cassivs and said, "Cassivs, what's wrong? Are you having second thoughts... do you think you made the wrong bet..."
"I haven't even started, and it already feels like I'm going to lose..."
After a brief moment of surprise, Cassivs shook his head firmly, and changed his address for Xiao Ce from "Ninth Brother" to "Mr. Ce..."
“Mr. Ce, I have no regrets. I will return with your message... and I will take good care of your family... Our Aurelius family has fought alongside you for so long... no matter how far we've come, we will be proud... and whatever the outcome, we will follow in your footsteps…”
As he spoke, Cassivs's gaze became even more resolute, and he said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, besides, you're not an ordinary person...you're God Xiao...I think you're definitely fine..."
After hearing Cassivs's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded.
"Alright! Then I'll take your kind words to heart..."
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs said somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Ce, I noticed you weren't quite sure about what to do earlier. Was it something I said that made you decide to do it..."
After hearing Cassivs's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "It's not you... I just suddenly realized something. After all, I'm already here... My purpose in coming here is to find out exactly what that person is..."
"As for danger... we'll deal with it as it comes..."
Xiao Ce said this mainly because Ling Xu had been calculating whether the Star Network Hub's attack defenses could reach this area in case of danger.
Since Lingxu's answer was affirmative, Xiao Ce naturally decided to take the gamble.
Moreover, Xiao Ce had heard several times that the original owner wanted him alive...
Even if all else fails, Xiao Ce believed he had the trump card of the Star Network Mechanism.
He firmly believed that if he played this trump card, he could save his life.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Xiao Ce concluded that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages...
Xiao Ce was not a conflicted person; as long as he didn't die, there would always be a chance.
Moreover, he always felt that the original owner of this body probably wasn't very smart either, after all, before he transmigrated, the original owner's life as that person was anything but human...
Therefore, Xiao Ce had this confidence.
After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs nodded: "Shall I go back first?"
Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, Cassivis, you guys go back first. Just cooperate with them in everything..."
Cassivs nodded.
Xiao Ce continued, asking Cassivis, "By the way, what about your father and the others..."
Cassivs nodded: "A group from the Aurelius family has already gone, but we dare not send too many to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. However, we have prepared separate routes and ships, so we can leave immediately if anything goes wrong..."
Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright...then, don't tell them about my situation yet...If anything unexpected happens, I'll let you know..."
Cassiev nodded again, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left.
