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

"The people behind your original owner, Xiao Ce, are planning to enslave our planet. They want us to live lives worse than pigs or dogs, or even worse than pork... I believe you have the judgment to tell the difference: when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?"

After saying that, Xiao Ce walked straight out...

Nie Bing was left standing there, pondering those words.

After Xiao Ce left, several Creation Iron Guards followed him.

Xiao Dingshan smiled beside Xiao Ce and then said, "Xiao Ce, are you really sure you trust her?"

After listening to Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce shook his head: "Of course not. In fact, no one's heart is trustworthy. But I will make sure they have no other choice but to depend on me... I will cut off all the paths she might take, leaving her only one!"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan smiled and nodded: "It seems you're still as cautious as before."

Xiao Ce smiled, then said to Xiao Dingshan, "Actually, this is also a risky move..."

Xiao Dingshan said to Xiao Ce, "You played this move well... Besides the original owner of this body, Xiao Ce, the person who wants to make contact with that core individual is clearly Nie Bing..."

After listening to Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce nodded and then said, "I only have one thing to worry about now..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan frowned slightly and then said, "Worried? Worried about what?"

Xiao Ce said to Xiao Dingshan, "Creation Base..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan looked at him strangely and said, "The Creation Base? What's wrong with the Creation Base... Don't you trust them?"

Xiao Ce waved his hand, then said to Xiao Dingshan, "It's not that I don't trust them... I'm just afraid that if the original Xiao Ce discovers them, he might attack them directly..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan smiled broadly and said to Xiao Ce, "Xiao Ce, you don't need to worry about that..."

"I don't think the original owner, Xiao Ce, had this ability... Although that creation base was confined there, and their control over external affairs was very weak, for the people behind the original owner, Xiao Ce, to really try to fight their way through would undoubtedly be like throwing an egg against a rock..."

After listening to Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce thought of something else.

He then smiled and nodded, "Not bad..."

The two got into the carriage while they were talking, and Victor King came to greet them.

Xiao Ce said to Victor King, "Just arrange a few of your trusted men, and you can go and help Nie Bing clean up the mess here."

Victor King was outside and didn't know what happened inside...

"Me and President Nie Bing?"

Seeing Viktor King's bewildered expression, Xiao Ce smiled at him and said, "Not bad..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce briefly recounted to Viktor King what he had just accomplished with Nie Bing.

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Victor King looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

Xiao Ce then said to Viktor King, "Viktor King, do you think Nie Bing is not trustworthy?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Victor King gave an awkward smile, then nodded: "That's right, could it be a temporary measure..."

Looking at Viktor King, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Of course it's not a stopgap measure... it's very likely... because the person behind him has already been arrested... she had no choice..."

After saying a few words, Xiao Ce turned to Viktor King and said, "Viktor King, you don't need to worry too much. You just need to keep a firm grip on military power. Later, I'll arrange for some people to help you..."

Viktor King nodded.

He knew that Xiao Ce had stopped talking after getting to this point...

Xiao Ce said to Viktor King, "By the way, Viktor King, I'm going back to East Asia soon. Would you like your family to come with me...?"

Viktor King was stunned when he heard Xiao Ce's words.

After a moment, he nodded vigorously, then said to Victor King, "Of course...of course..."

Viktor King knew very well that Xiao Ce had already given him enough military power.

He had no trump cards at all...

This makes it hard for Xiao Ce to feel at ease...

Xiao Ce looked at Viktor King, smiled, and then said, "You agreed so quickly..."

Victor King said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, you've already placed so much trust in me, how could I possibly doubt you? Of course I believe you... I trust you unconditionally..."

“With my people following you, they will definitely live a good life in East Asia. I will have no worries, and you, Mr. Xiao Ce, will also have no worries at all…”

After hearing Viktor King's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right, what you said makes sense... But don't worry, I sent your family to East Asia not to blackmail you... I've given you these military powers, so I don't need to blackmail you... I wouldn't use someone's family to coerce them like that..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Victor King said awkwardly, "No...isn't that right?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Viktor King, "No...of course not...to be honest, if someone really wants to rebel, how effective do you think it would be to use their family as leverage?"

"That's the weakest way to coerce people. Those family members and blood relatives—saying you'll let go is a stretch, isn't it? I'm asking you this simply because I think it's a good thing..."

"The prelude to the future war should break out in the Western world, while in East Asia, the biggest flashpoint will undoubtedly be in Xiao Kingdom. There are still many places in East Asia where people live. Many members of the Aurelius family have already gone there, and they are all doing well. That's why I wanted to ask you a question."

"You can refuse. This is for your benefit, not a punishment..."

Xiao Ce did indeed think that way, so that Viktor King could move his family there without any worries.

Xiao Ce just guessed that the future war would start in the West because he would later decide to have such a war begin in the West...

He had many ways to control Viktor King, the simplest being to cut off his supplies...

Therefore, after hearing Xiao Ce's words, Victor King nodded repeatedly.

"I am willing... Mr. Xiao Ce, I was being cynical in my judgment of you... This is a good thing, and no matter what, I will never betray you..."

After hearing Viktor King's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "So you're also learning about Xiao culture?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Victor King smiled and replied, "That's right, Mr. Xiao Ce, did you notice?"

Xiao Ce nodded with a smile: "You used that idiom perfectly... Alright, then you make the arrangements. I estimate it will be about ten days from now, so your men can get ready to wait for me at the port of the Roman Empire..."

Victor King nodded: "Okay, Mr. Xiao Ce, I'll make the arrangements right away..."

As he spoke, Viktor King looked at Xiao Ce with a worried expression.

After seeing Viktor King's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Viktor King, what's wrong? Is there a problem on your end?"

Victor King said, "Mr. Xiao Ce, what you're telling Nie Bing now is that you're coming to ambush them... to incite their hatred towards you. In the future, won't you still be using these people? Aren't you just making trouble for yourself...?"

Xiao Ce said to Victor King, "No, these people are very smart... They may be indignant, but that's all they'll do. If Nie Bing really proposes an alliance between the two East Asian sides in the future, and their interests are not harmed, and they don't have to risk their lives, they will definitely agree immediately..."

"This is human nature. Once we understand human nature, everything will fall into place..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Victor King smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao Ce, if you've confirmed it, then there's no problem... I'll follow your arrangements."

After hearing Viktor King's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Alright, from now on, you can listen to Nie Bing... Of course, you can't let him control the military. You are free to make your own decisions regarding the matters she orders you to..."

The mere mention of "free judgment" still filled Viktor King with excitement...

This right is quite significant...

Xiao Ce didn't waste any more words and headed straight for the Aurelius family's territory.

Because Victor King had the Grand Commander of Lingas City with him, they naturally had no obstacles along the way.

Meanwhile, Viktor King went to Nie Bing's residence.

Nie Bing's expression was not good at this moment. When she saw Viktor King enter, her face turned awkward...

Before Viktor King could speak, Nie Bing said to him, "Viktor King, you were right back then... and now you've made the right decision too..."

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Victor King frowned slightly and then asked, "President, when you said you made the right decision, what did you mean...?"

Nie Bing smiled at Viktor King and then said, "She went to follow Xiao Ce..."

Upon hearing Nie Bing's words, Victor King smiled broadly and said, "You're not blaming me?"

Nie Bing shook her head, then smiled at Victor King and said, "Of course it's not your fault... If I had listened to your advice back then, we might have discovered him much earlier... And your choice wasn't wrong. That Xiao Ce is very powerful... What you did was actually quite normal... After all, you either cooperated with him... or you died... You didn't have any other choice..."

Victor King said to Nie Bing, "So, President, is your situation the same as mine? You're also at your wit's end?"

After listening to Viktor King's words, Nie Bing fell into thought, and then slowly began to speak.

"I didn't think much of it before. But now, I find it laughable..."

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Victor King said with some doubt, "Ridiculous?"

"That's right. What I was obsessed with my whole life is now nothing in Xiao Ce's eyes... or rather, I considered him an enemy, a mortal enemy! But I've never even appeared in his sights..."

"Now it seems, he might be someone I could follow... I might have been following the wrong people all along..."

Viktor King, upon hearing Nie Bing's words, seemed to understand but not quite: "President, yes, that's what I initially thought... I was oppressed by him, just to survive. But as time went on, I realized he might be a wise ruler... This person is not only intelligent, but also seems to have good luck..."

After listening to Viktor King's words, Nie Bing nodded: "Indeed, you are a smart man... As for what happened before, let's let bygones be bygones... Now... let's start cooperating again..."

Viktor King saw Nie Bing's outstretched hand, smiled, and then extended his own hand.

He then shook hands with Victor King and said, "I wish us a pleasant collaboration in the future."

Then Nie Bing turned to Victor King and asked, "Does Ed White know about this?"

Victor King shook his head: "I don't know, but it's clear that Ed White also wants to curry favor with Mr. Xiao Ce. However, after some initial contact, they haven't had the opportunity... and Mr. Xiao Ce probably feels there's no need to tell too many people about this..."

"After all, the fewer people who know about this if it blows up in the future, the safer it is for us..."

Nie Bing nodded, then said to Victor King, "So, what should we do next? Do you know?"

Viktor King nodded, then recounted to Nie Bing the details of their earlier sexual encounter.

After listening to it once, Nie Bing nodded, and then said to Viktor King, "Good, then you can arrange everything."

Victor King said to Nie Bing, "Then, President, do you have anything to add?"

Upon hearing Viktor King's words, Nie Bing gave a bitter smile, then waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No need, this is Mr. Xiao Ce's intention... naturally we don't need to add anything..."

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Victor King nodded: "Then, President, I'll go do it..."
