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

Boudica had originally intended to open an account for Xiao Ce as well.

But John said awkwardly that Boudica's identity could be revealed.

However, Xiao Ce, being of fourth-class status, could not be granted such privileges.

After asking in detail, Boudica learned that in Britain and Lingas, people were divided into several classes.

The highest level is naturally the residents of Lingas City. This includes both local residents and those who have purchased property here. Anyone who can obtain a Lingas household registration and become a Lingas resident can do so.

However, becoming a resident of Lingas means giving up one's original citizenship; Lingas is considered an independent city.

The second group consists of people from the four great empires. They are treated similarly to those in Linga City, but without any special privileges.

The third group consists of people from other small Western countries. They are essentially the same as the people of the four great empires, except that they are not allowed to attend a very limited number of gatherings. However, if you are very wealthy, this is not a problem.

The lowest class was the fourth class, which consisted of slaves, whether in the four great empires or in those small countries.

A slave will always be a slave and can never obtain normal citizenship.

Wherever they are, they are appendages of these so-called upper-class people. They can follow their masters to some high-class places, but if they don't have a master, they can't go anywhere.

Even places where pet dogs can come and go, they cannot go in alone.

Xiao Ce didn't care about this, because he didn't need to use the money from here.

He can still use gold.

Moreover, Xiao Ce truly did not have the habit of spending money.

Boudica was somewhat uncomfortable, but she had no choice.

However, when he looked at Xiao Ce, he truly didn't care at all.

John then placed all the documents in front of Boudica.

"Ms. Boudica, please keep this card book safe. You can use this card book for all your future purchases! Also, if you lose your card book, you will need to come and report it lost."

Xiao Ce listened to John's explanation that the so-called card was similar to a savings account and could be used for purchases at auctions designated by the United Savings Bank.

Behind the cardholder is a checkbook, which is generally used for large transactions.

This checkbook also has its own special anti-counterfeiting features.

It has to be said that things are already very convenient for them here.

Small transactions can be handled with cash (sols), large transactions can generally be done with a checkbook, and very large transactions can be done with a card.

After John finished speaking, he said to Boudica, "Ms. Boudica, I wonder if you need a place to stay here... If so, you can come and find me."

Boudica looked surprised after hearing what Johan said: "Oh? You have resources in this area?"

John laughed and said, "Isn't that how everyone in Lingas City is? I'll do anything as long as it makes money... I actually heard outside that your first choice is a castle, and your second choice is a manor, right?"

John Joe actually said that on purpose.

Boudica was taken aback for a moment, then realized that it must have been Ryan who said it.

However, knowing the answer already, he still asked, "Oh? How did you know?"

John Joe: "Our manager outside found out while chatting with your men... I figured it must have been at your behest. So, if I can offer you any assistance I can, that would be great."

Boudica nodded after listening to John's words, then smiled slightly helplessly. To be honest, their kind of workplace struggles were really too simple and straightforward.

However, Boudica naturally didn't care about any of that.

“John, that would be great if you could provide some information. Since you already know the situation, I won’t say anything more. By the way, I also need some shops in the best locations. Price doesn’t matter. But they must be in the most conspicuous places.”

"I don't think anyone outside has mentioned this."

Boudica asked.

John nodded: "No, I do know one. Number One Central Avenue, that shop is arguably the best in the entire city of Lingas. Anyone who comes to Central Avenue will see it, pass by..."

Boudica and Xiao Ce exchanged a glance; they remembered this No. 1 Central Avenue.

Because the doors of a huge shop were tightly closed.

Boudica did ask Ryan, who said it was originally a jewelry store run by one of the twelve families, but it closed down for some unknown reason.

Ryan didn't know and thought it was for renovations. He said he would look into it.

"Central No. 1, is that the first shop you see when you enter Central Avenue? That's definitely a very nice shop! So, is it for sale? Or is it under renovation?"

John nodded, and seeing their interest, his expression deepened: "Gentlemen, since you're interested, that's naturally the best..."

"I was the first to know this news, but it hasn't been made public yet. That's because one of my clients is the owner of this No. 1 Central Avenue."

Boudica's interest was piqued: "Oh? But won't such a prime location be snatched up by the Twelve Families?"

John said, "Of course, that's usually how it is... However, these good shops are usually auctioned off. These people are all businessmen, and businessmen are profit-driven. In the end, whoever has the money can win the bid."

"The qualification for this internal auction is not something everyone has. If you need it... I can talk to my client and get an auction qualification."

Boudica glanced at Xiao Ce, who nodded slightly.

He then turned to John and asked, "How much compensation do you need?"

John laughed and said, "No need...no reward needed. Your choice of me was already a huge help. Besides, I think Ms. Boudica is very capable. In the end, your participation is actually a favor to me. If you win the bid for that shop at a high price, the client will thank me profusely..."

"I'm not asking for anything! I'm also selective; I wouldn't give this opportunity to just any client..."

This John is really good at interpersonal relationships, and he knows how to talk.

He was the one who helped, but now it sounds like he was the one who was helped.

Boudica laughed and said, "Say something. But helping others is one thing, helping me is another. I don't want to owe favors if it can be solved with money... Just name a price, because honestly, if you help me for free, I'll always feel like you're trying to take advantage of me..."

Boudica spoke very directly, and Johan listened with nodding in agreement.

“Understood, understood! So, if it's Ms. Boudica, then we'll follow the rules. If you successfully bid for the shop, I'll take one percent of the sale price as a referral fee, up to a maximum of 100,000 Sols. If it doesn't work out, then that's fine…”

Boudica laughed and said, "No need! No need for such trouble. Even if you fail, I will still pay you ten thousand soles."

Upon hearing this, John nodded and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Ms. Boudica, I'll contact her later and let you know as soon as I have news... May I ask where you are staying now?"

Boudica said, "I'll ask later. I don't know either. I live in a farm outside the city."

Xiao Ce then asked John, "By the way, are there any decent places to stay around here? Our future focus is on this area, specifically on the people who are slaves. We need someone to support them."

John Joe said, "That's alright. These are just servants, and hotels usually accommodate them. There's only one exception: if you bring too many people, the hotel won't accept you."

"For someone of your status, like Ms. Boudica, the Hotel Lingas is the best in the entire city of Lingas, or even in the entire West, without exception... but the price... is beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy people."

Boudica said, "How expensive can it get?"

John Joe explained, "These are all suites, costing between 50,000 and 100,000 per day, depending on the type of room..."

Boudica looked visibly surprised.

Xiao Ce said calmly, "It's alright, not expensive. Let's go this way then."

After Xiao Ce said that, Boudica was clearly stunned for a moment, and then she controlled her expression.

She remembered what Xiao Ce had told her.

He's trying to act like he's rich, to the point of being outrageously extravagant.

So after a brief moment of hesitation, Boudica continued speaking.

"I thought it would cost a lot... It's so cheap, and there are other benefits too."

He then said to Boudica, "Okay, I'll stay there then. I'll give you the location after I confirm it..."

This confirmed to John that they were very wealthy.

After all, even some people who come to the Gas Hotel would hesitate to visit after hearing the price.

I stayed one or two nights, which was fine, but judging from Boudica's demeanor, she seemed determined to stay permanently.

They exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Boudica left.

After they left, the managers who had previously worked there lined up to see them off.

Ryan respectfully asked Boudica where to go next.

"Let's go to the Gas Hotel."

After hearing Boudica's words, Ryan immediately showed a look of fear and trepidation.

“Ms. Boudica, did I say something inappropriate just now? Or did we do something that didn’t please you…?”

Boudica was somewhat taken aback by Ryan's agitated state.

"What do you mean? No? What you said earlier was quite good. I do need a castle, as well as some real estate such as a manor."

"Then why did you stay in a hotel? If my brother finds out, he'll definitely scold me..."

Ryan's next sentence made Boudica understand what was going on.

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with you. As you know, your farm is about an hour away from here... maybe even longer. In the future, we will need to do many things in Lingas City, so it wouldn't be appropriate for us to stay at your place."

"Furthermore, our partners are not currently in a suitable situation to come here, so we still need your help... Therefore, they will continue to live here. In fact, not only us, but you also need to move out of that farm. Do you see any problems with these arrangements?"

Ryan's tense and flustered expression had clearly subsided considerably, and he said to Xiao Ce, "Then I'm relieved... I'm fine here, and as for your companions, you can absolutely rest assured about their safety on the farm."

Xiao Ce looked at Ryan. Although he was very smart, he still had a lot of childishness in him.

This is what Xiao Ce cares about, and what he values.

Just then, Xiao Ce said to Ryan, "Alright, Ryan, can we set off now?"

Ryan then smiled and began to drive the carriage.

After the carriage started moving, Xiao Ce first glanced at Da Lei and Ye Mao.

"Nothing happened just now, right?"

Da Lei and Ye Mao then recounted what had happened outside.

Xiao Ce nodded.

Boudica then said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, are we really not worried? Although those people from various countries gave us a lot of Qian, we need to exchange it..."

Xiao Ce said, "Isn't that John a very good person? Besides, didn't we just ask? Other countries have exchange windows in their savings banks where you can convert your savings into gold notes, and then exchange them according to the exchange rate here..."

Boudica nodded, but her face still showed a hint of doubt and nervousness.

"Is that Joe John trustworthy?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Of course we're trustworthy. How could we not be? Besides, you think we have a lot of money, but actually, this amount is nothing here... No one will even notice us..."

"Besides, we came here precisely to attract other people's attention, didn't we?"

Boudica nodded: "After all, this is the headquarters of the Illuminati. I'm just worried that Your Highness's wanted poster is still here, which is too conspicuous and might attract attention... and then..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Don't worry, your worries are completely unnecessary... You can rest assured, be as arrogant as you want, no one will dare to do anything to you..."

Boudica looked at Xiao Ce and asked him suspiciously, "Ce, why are you so sure? Do you know something?"
