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

The sudden sound startled Xiao Ce.

Turning his head, he discovered that the person who had come was none other than the Mad Taoist, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Just two days ago, when they woke up, they found that the mad Taoist priest had suddenly disappeared.

Night Owl even tried to get Okamoto Juzo to send someone to look for it.

Okamoto Juzo also diligently searched several other families, but to no avail.

Xiao Ce wasn't too nervous, after all, this mad Taoist had always been eccentric.

Moreover, he looks like he's gone mad.

But he wasn't actually crazy. And since he wasn't there, there must have been a reason.

After all, this mad Taoist didn't go mad after meeting Xiao Ce; he was already mad before that.

Therefore, he has been able to remain safe and sound throughout his journey.

He definitely has his own way of surviving.

Xiao Ce asked the mad Taoist, "Where did you come from?"

The mad Taoist priest did not answer Xiao Ce's question, but continued to ask himself, "Don't you think this woman looks familiar?"

Xiao Ce knew the madman's temper; if he didn't want to talk, no one could make him open his mouth.

So Xiao Ce said to the mad Taoist, "Is this person Yin Pan'er?"

The mad Taoist smiled at Xiao Ce, then gave him a thumbs up.

Just as the two were talking, Okamoto Juzo, who was walking ahead, turned back.

Okamoto Juzo was clearly surprised to see the Mad Taoist.

"Why is your third uncle back?"

Before Xiao Ce could answer, Okamoto Juzo said anxiously, "Yice, you have to stay close... we'll be going in a bit."

As he spoke, Okamoto Juzo called out to the person beside him, "Hey...you...yes...yes...it's you. Come here right now and keep an eye on me, your third uncle. If anything goes wrong, I'll kill you."

As he spoke, Okamoto Juzo pulled Xiao Ce forward.

Xiao Ce was naturally more than happy to do so, as he had originally wanted to find Yin Pan'er.

Would you say that this is something that comes without any effort at all?

However, he was unsure of Yin Pan'er's true identity at that moment.

He was still somewhat wary, but despite his wariness, he was still willing to think of her with a sliver of goodwill.

Just then, Xiao Ce followed him into a room.

At this moment, Yin Pan'er had already been invited to the seat of honor.

Beside him were Tojo Seisuke and his son. Okamoto Juzo led Xiao Ce to the other side and sat down.

Tojo Seisuke then said to Yin Pan'er, "Representative, let's explain the situation."

Yin Pan'er nodded while wearing a mask.

Tojo Seisuke began to speak.

After receiving the Mad Taoist's reminder, Xiao Ce looked at it more and more closely and it seemed more and more like the real thing.

However, it didn't seem quite like it before.

No one knows what she went through. She had previously made contact with the Blood Nether Pavilion, but suddenly she became a superior of the Blood Nether Pavilion and a representative of the Illuminati.

Xiao Ce knew very well that none of this would be easy.

Yin Pan'er listened attentively to Tojo Seisuke without interrupting at all.

He kept nodding.

After listening to Tojo Seisuke finish speaking, Yin Pan'er nodded: "Okay, I understand. Now take me to see him."

Tojo Seisuke was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yin Pan'er and asked, "Who?"

Yin Pan'er said, "Who else could it be but Tokugawa Heiyasu?"

Tojo Seisuke gave an awkward smile and nodded, then turned to Yin Pan'er: "No problem... Representative, so, should I bring him over, or..."

Yin Pan'er said to Tojo Seisuke, "Take me there."

Tojo Seisuke nodded and began to lead the way.

From beginning to end, Yin Pan'er didn't glance in their direction even once.

That mad Taoist's disguise skills were truly amazing; Yin Pan'er didn't even notice.

They arrived at the door of the makeshift prison cell.

Upon arriving at this entrance, the members of the Tokugawa Heiyasu family were all very calm and composed.

After seeing the Illuminati's attire once again, their expressions remained remarkably calm.

There was none of the previous fervor and madness.

When they arrived at the entrance of the prison where Tokugawa Heiyasu was being held, Yin Pan'er said to the people following Tojo Seisuke and his entourage, "You can stop here. I need to speak with him alone."

Tojo Seisuke said with a worried look, "Representative, isn't this a bit unsafe?"

Yin Pan'er glanced at Tojo Seisuke and said, "What's unsafe? Didn't you confiscate their weapons?"

Tojo Seisuke shook his head: "No, we checked their bodies and they weren't carrying any weapons."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "That won't work."

As she spoke, Yin Pan'er walked over to the door of the prison cell.

Tokugawa Heiji then rose respectfully.

Tojo Seisuke had the door opened, and Tokugawa Heiyasu bowed to Yin Pan'er.

Although Yin Pan'er was wearing a mask, she still subconsciously covered her nose.

The smell in the cell was quite strong.

Just then, Tojo Seisuke said to Yin Pan'er, "Representative, shall we change to another place?"

Yin Pan'er waved her hand and then said, "No need, this side is fine."

"You can leave now." Seeing that Tojo Seisuke showed no sign of leaving.

Yin Pan'er still spoke.

Tojo Seisuke then left in embarrassment.

After watching Tojo Seisuke leave, Yin Pan'er looked at Tokugawa Heiyasu.

Tokugawa Heiji stood in front of Yin Pan'er, looking at her calmly.

However, it is clear that Tokugawa Heiyasu did not seem to have anything to say.

Yin Pan'er looked at Tokugawa Heiyasu and then said, "Speak!"

Tokugawa Heiji looked at Yin Pan'er with an embarrassed expression, then asked with a puzzled look, "Say? Say what?"

Yin Pan'er asked Tokugawa Heiyasu, "Why do you do this?"

Tokugawa Heiyasu gave an awkward smile, then asked Yin Pan'er, "Representative, didn't Tojo Seisuke tell you that we did this in a fit of anger? We were wrong. But we hope you can understand us; we were provoked to the point of no return..."

"As you all know, our Tokugawa Heiyasu family has sacrificed the most for the Illuminati and for Japan... But now..."

Before Tokugawa Heiyasu could finish speaking, Yin Pan'er simply raised her hand and said to him, "Alright, I didn't come here to listen to your story!"

As Yin Pan'er spoke, she directly took out a ring that represented her identity as the representative of the Illuminati president.

Do you know what this is?

Tokugawa Heiyasu glanced at it and shook his head.

Although he was shaking his head, he was still incredibly shocked.

After all, he did know him, but he was very clear that this person was not the agent.

Yin Pan'er continued, "There have been some changes within our Illuminati, so I will be acting as the acting president for the time being. All family representatives will now be under my command."

Tokugawa Heiji looked embarrassed and said to Yin Pan'er, "This representative... no, this agent, what do you mean by repeating all this to me?"

Yin Pan'er said to Tokugawa Heiyasu, "What I mean is, your life, no... the lives of your entire clan, are in my hands. No reason is justified for you to attack the Illuminati."

“That person attacked and killed one of your men first. That person violated the rules of the Illuminati, and he and his family will be punished by our Illuminati. We have people specifically assigned to carry out the punishment. And the person who will carry out the punishment is definitely not you.”

"Therefore, I have every reason to kill you and your people."

"However, your compatriots, those people from Japan, they say you've been bewitched. That's not your character. There's something fishy about this; you're being manipulated..."

"They spoke with great conviction, wanting to plead for you. So, I need a definite answer from you: did you do this on a whim, or was someone instructing you?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Tokugawa Heiyasu fell silent.

Yin Pan'er actually already knew the answer from Tokugawa Heiyasu's behavior.

"Does this still need to be considered?"

Tokugawa Heiji looked at Yin Pan'er awkwardly, seemingly considering the situation.

Just then, Yin Pan'er stood up: "Okay, I already know the answer!"

As Tokugawa Heiji watched Yin Pan'er walk out, he quickly asked, "What answer do you know?"

Yin Pan'er said, "You weren't ordered to do it; it was all a spur-of-the-moment act on your part that led to the murder!"

As he spoke, Tokugawa Heiji's expression changed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't continue.

Yin Pan'er didn't say anything and left directly.

Tokugawa Heiyasu continued shouting, "Agent, what will you do with us?"

Yin Pan'er's voice was devoid of any emotion, containing only one very simple word: "Die!"

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Tokugawa Heiyasu's face immediately turned ugly: "Impossible, it's impossible for him to be dead. We...we had a reason for what happened. We...you need to vote, right? This is your resolution."

Seeing Tokugawa Heiyasu's words, Yin Pan'er said calmly, "It seems you know a lot about our Illuminati."

"However, you still don't quite understand. Normally, decisions are made by a vote of the delegation, but the chairman's representative has veto power! So, I will make the decision now. Moreover, this matter is egregious in nature and seriously damages our reputation."

Yin Pan'er waved her hand and said, "I have nothing more to say to you."

"No! You can't kill me!"

Seeing Yin Pan'er walk away decisively without looking back, Tokugawa Heiyasu called out anxiously.

"You have no right!"

"Are you... are you lying to me?"

“We were just defending our dignity. We just killed those who trampled on our dignity. You can’t kill me…”

Yin Pan'er completely ignored Tokugawa Heiyasu's desperate shouts.

He didn't even turn his head; he left resolutely.

Originally, the people in these makeshift prisons were very calm.

However, after Tokugawa Heiyasu shouted that, the originally calm and quiet crowd suddenly began to stir.
