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

Before leaving, Cassivs told Xiao Ce to take care...

Xiao Ce returned a confident smile, which reassured him...

After seeing Cassivs off, Xiao Ce immediately instructed A Tie to invite Viktor King over...

Viktor King was usually very busy, but upon seeing Atie arrive, he naturally approached with utmost respect...

There was no other reason; the longer he spent with Xiao Ce, the more terrifying he felt Xiao Ce was...

Especially after that previous meeting, he discovered that Xiao Ce was almost a hexagonal warrior...

No weaknesses...

Therefore, he felt that both Nie Bing and the bishop behind her were incredibly powerful.

He didn't even think he was a match for Xiao Ce.

He rushed over to Xiao Ce's side.

Xiao Ce still had A Tie stand at the door.

Seeing the nervous look on Viktor King's face, he then said, "Come, Vice President Viktor King, have a seat..."

Viktor King felt even more nervous seeing Xiao Ce's smiling face.

He nodded and then sat down where Xiao Ce pointed.

After sitting down, Viktor King straightened his back and kept swallowing.

He then turned to Viktor King and said, "Vice President Viktor King, don't be nervous... What? I'm not going to eat you..."

Seeing Xiao Ce say that, Victor King's expression became even more awkward.

Although he kept nodding, he still said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Sean, I'm not nervous..."

Although Victor King said this, he couldn't hide the nervousness on his face.

In fact, even Viktor King himself couldn't explain why he was so nervous...

He's seen the world, he's weathered many storms...

But he just couldn't control himself.

Xiao Ce looked at Viktor King, smiled, and then said, "Vice President Viktor King, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Victor King sized up Xiao Ce, then shook his head: "He probably has something to instruct you on..."

Xiao Ce nodded, then said to Victor King, "That's right, Nie Bing just contacted me... saying the bishop wants to see me..."

Upon hearing this, Victor King immediately tensed up and then asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Sean...did they say why they wanted to see you?"

After hearing Victor King's words, Xiao Ce shook his head and then said, "No... Have you seen that bishop?"

Viktor King nodded first, then shook his head...

Looking at his expression, Xiao Ce asked, both amused and exasperated, "Does this mean I've seen him before... or haven't...?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Victor King said awkwardly, "I saw someone... but that person was fully armed and didn't identify himself, so I don't know if it was him or not..."

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Viktor King, "Okay, why did we come to you back then?"

After hearing Viktor King's words, he didn't mince words and said directly, "They just coldly asked us if we wanted to live or die... Of course we wanted to live, so they threatened us and showed us those horrific scenes... and their powerful Iron Man Legion... So we naturally followed them..."

"After all, both Ed White and I have realized that what these newcomers have brought is far beyond our comprehension... We also know that our era is probably over... So, just surviving is a tremendous blessing..."

Xiao Ce nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Victor King then asked Xiao Ce in advance, "Mr. Sean, are you... going to the appointment?"

When Xiao Ce saw Viktor King ask him this question, he didn't answer, but stared intently at Viktor King.

Viktor King felt a chill run down his spine as Xiao Ce stared at him...

Immediately, his expression became increasingly awkward, and he said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Sean, please don't misunderstand... I didn't mean anything by it... I was just asking..."

Xiao Ce looked at Viktor King's expression, smiled, and then said, "What do you think?"

When Victor King heard Xiao Ce ask this, he was taken aback at first, and then said, "What?"

Clearly, he could hardly believe his ears.

He probably thought there was something wrong with his ears...

Xiao Ce repeated, "Do you think I should go?"

Victor King said awkwardly, "Mr. Sean, I don't know... and I can't speak for you either..."

Xiao Ce said to Victor King, "Then just pretend it's me... what's your decision...?"

Viktor King's eyes darted around when he heard Xiao Ce say that...

Xiao Ce did not interrupt him.

After seemingly pondering for a while, Victor King finally said to Xiao Ce with a serious expression, "Reporting to Mr. Sean, if it were me... I would go..."

Seeing Viktor King's curious expression, Xiao Ce asked him, "Oh? Why did you make this decision...?"

Victor King looked at Xiao Ce earnestly and said, "Mr. Sean, first of all, your purpose in coming here should be to confront them... You said you need to know yourself and your enemy. Getting close to this President Nie Bing is definitely not your ultimate goal... So, sooner or later, you'll have to deal with that bishop..."

"Moreover, at this critical juncture, I think it's a good thing...not a bad thing..."

Seeing Viktor King's analysis, Xiao Ce asked curiously, "Oh? Why are you so sure?"

Victor King said, "If they wanted to harm you, I could. Given President Nie Bing's current strength and situation, there's no need for her to deceive you... They probably don't think you're a problem..."

"Because, if he suspects you of something wrong, he can simply send Iron Man to arrest you... You probably wouldn't be able to resist..."

When Victor King said this, Xiao Ce suddenly realized something.

He thought about it a lot, and to be honest, he really overlooked such a simple and obvious truth.

"Go on..."

Seeing that Xiao Ce had agreed with his words, Victor King continued, "I think they wanted to see you privately. After all, what you've been doing here is very impressive... groundbreaking... I think they simply admire your talent and want to recruit you, that's all..."

"Of course, there's also the test... If you pass his test, he might give you more power..."

Xiao Ce nodded after listening to Viktor King's words.

“Yes, Victor King, you make a very good point…”

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Victor King gave an awkward smile, then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Sean, these are merely some of my own superficial understandings..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Viktor King, "What you said makes a lot of sense... So now you know why I asked you to come here..."

Victor King sized up Xiao Ce for a few moments, then nodded firmly and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Sean, I'm guessing that if something unexpected happens to you... you might need me to come and rescue you..."

Seeing Viktor King's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said to him, "If I asked you to do this... would you come?"

Viktor King paused for a moment, then nodded.

Xiao Ce smiled, then said to Viktor King, "No...you definitely won't..."

Victor King wanted to argue, but Xiao Ce's hawk-like eyes were fixed on him...

He was at a loss for words...

He looked embarrassed.

Xiao Ce said to Victor King, "You can tell me the truth... if our roles were reversed, I still wouldn't go to save him... after all, it's not a wise move for a moth to a flame..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Victor King finally spoke up: "Yes... Mr. Sean, it depends on the situation... If there's a chance of victory, I'll come to rescue you... Of course, if I know it's impossible... I'll hide myself, accumulate strength, and wait for Yin Pan'er or Morgana to come to rescue you later before offering my help..."

Viktor King said this with a sincere expression.

Xiao Ce looked into Viktor King's eyes, and Viktor King said awkwardly, "Mr. Sean, I'm serious..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "I believe you... but if something were to happen to me, why would you still be willing to support them...?"

Victor King said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Sean, your ideas are correct... Actually, I knew it after I saw East Asia prosper... I just didn't want to admit it... This outdated system here was doomed to fail sooner or later... Even without you, there would have been resistance..."

Victor King gave another wry smile, then said, "Of course, Mr. Sean, you're a smart man... If Morgana's rescue team had been easily defeated, I wouldn't have intervened... After all... I've gone through all this trouble just to stay alive..."

"If there's absolutely no hope here, I might continue to build up my forces and look for an opportunity to leave...or perhaps..."

Viktor King seemed to be deep in thought as he spoke, then shook his head: "Of course, who knows what the future holds..."

As he spoke, Viktor King's gaze hardened as he looked at Xiao Ce.

“Of course, Mr. Sean, you sent me here... not just to listen to you... but because you definitely have something to say to me... Although I have many thoughts, I can assure you that whatever you ask me to do, whatever you request of me, I will absolutely do it without hesitation, and will wholeheartedly for you..."

When Viktor King said this, his eyes were firm, and he didn't seem to be joking or just saying it to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce looked at Viktor King with a half-smile: "Even if this is like a moth drawn to a flame?"

Victor King nodded firmly, then said, "That's right... even if it's like a moth drawn to a flame..."

Xiao Ce asked in confusion, "Why?"

Victor King said, "Actually, there aren't many people who can truly convince me... You're one of them... In fact, neither Nie Bing nor that bishop truly convinced me... because what they displayed was the oppressive power... and that power wasn't something they brought themselves..."

"And based on what I know of you... those advanced weapons you possess were genuinely developed under your own guidance. Furthermore, your intellect... I believe it's beyond that of an ordinary person... I have no doubt about what they call you..."

"Xiao Shen!"

Looking at Viktor King's words, Xiao Ce realized that they were indeed somewhat sincere flattery.

His sincerity was so genuine that it was impossible to tell it was flattery...

Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright, let's assume you're speaking from the heart... Then I won't hide anything from you..."

"If I'm safe and sound, then everyone will be happy... But, if something truly unfortunate happens to me..."

Xiao Ce paused, and Viktor King looked at Xiao Ce with unwavering determination...

Xiao Ce then waved to Viktor King.

Although Victor King didn't know much about it, he still went over to join in.

Xiao Ce whispered something in Viktor King's ear...

The more Victor King listened, the more interesting his expression became...

Immediately following was admiration...

...

On the other side, Nie Bing had already boarded a carriage and hurriedly left.

Just after he finished speaking with Sean (Xiao Ce), the Iron Man next to the bishop came to deliver a message, saying that the bishop wanted to see her in person.

She didn't know what was going on, but naturally she dared not disobey the bishop's orders...

At that moment, she left...

The place the iron man took him to wasn't a port, but rather he was heading towards the British Empire.

Although she was a little curious, she didn't ask any further questions...

After all, the original owner of that body had always been elusive and unpredictable...

...

Ed White was also the first to see Nie Bing leave in a hurry.

After much deliberation, he decided to go with Xiao Ce to report.

After all, he could tell that Viktor King and Xiao Ce had a special relationship...

Although the two didn't have much contact, Ed White was very perceptive and noticed...
