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

One of them spoke up, saying, "Don't you know? That slave was just trying to shout out a price to intimidate Prince William."

"However, Prince William doesn't seem to be buying it and is even provoking us. So, have you noticed a detail?"

This person does have some talent for storytelling.

He always leaves a hook in his speech, making it interesting to the listener.

The others shook their heads, indicating that he should speak his mind.

The man continued, "It's actually quite simple. The slave asked Mr. Jin if they could give their master's business a name when they donated their extra money to the Lingas City Development Foundation. After receiving Mr. Jin's approval, they became even more unscrupulous in their bidding."

After this person finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.

Then it suddenly dawned on me.

None of the people present were ordinary individuals; they were all highly successful businesspeople.

These people have a very high level of vision.

"So, they did this to increase their own visibility."

"That's right. This incident will be all over Lingas City by tomorrow. The fact that someone spent 45 million Sol to stay at the Lingas Hotel for two nights and even confronted Prince William will be all over the place!"

"Everyone will be curious about who this person is, and when the time comes, everyone will ask who that person is."

“Mr. Jin will definitely promote this in the future, and then their chamber of commerce will be famous throughout the entire city of Lingas.”

"What will be the first thing that comes to mind when people hear the name of their chamber of commerce in the future?"

Some people were silent for a moment: "They're rich!"

The group suddenly realized.

You know, what might not mean in other places, but here, having money means having status.

Moreover, in the city of Lingas, where the wealthy gather, there is no shortage of rich people. It is not easy to label someone as rich in this group of rich people.

From this perspective, the money is well worth it.

The onlookers, each offering their own opinions, clearly revealed Xiao Ce's true intentions.

In fact, Xiao Ce wouldn't have done this if it were anyone else.

After all, it's forty-five million Sols.

However, his initial thought was to let Boudica win once.

After all, although this wasn't the first time Boudica and Targaryen Isa had clashed, he really didn't want her to lose.

If Xiao Ce wanted to achieve this goal, he had other methods.

However, it doesn't matter.

He really wanted to create the persona of Boudica as a wealthy person!

This left Prince William and Princess Elizabeth looking grim, feeling not only as if they had been slapped in the face, but also as if they had been trampled on to rise to power.

They also sensed that the people around them were talking about them and looking down on them.

Prince William said to Eliza beside him, "Eliza, I will definitely avenge you!"

Isa waved her hand and said, "Prince, don't worry about it! That slave is insignificant... But the woman who hasn't appeared yet... her back looks somewhat familiar..."

Prince William watched as the backs of the people who had been invited upstairs were seen.

"Oh? You know him?"

Isa shook her head: "Not really..."

Isa didn't continue the conversation, but instead said to Prince William, "Your Highness, shall we stay here from now on, or...?"

William said to Isa, "Of course we'll stay here. We haven't lost; he was just tricked by me. Besides, where else could we be worthy of our status?"

Isa listened and nodded in agreement.

...

At this moment, Xiao Ce and his companions were taken to the King's Suite on the top floor.

This King Suite truly lives up to its reputation.

They also had dedicated servants and butlers.

These people will wait at the door 24 hours a day.

We provide services at any time.

There are also some pretty and sexy women here. The housekeeper said they can provide services at any time.

When the butler mentioned that they had arrived at this place, Xiao Ce noticed that Boudica glanced at him subconsciously.

After the introductions, these people were waiting at the door.

We can guarantee timely service, as well as ensure their safety and privacy.

Once inside, Night Owl and Da Lei began searching the area. After a while, they confirmed that there was no danger.

Boudica then said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, isn't it a bit too much to spend so much money on them?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Boudica and said, "How could it not be worth it... I'm spending money to buy fame, don't overthink it. I'm just trying to create a persona for you. After this incident, when people mention you, they'll think of you as rich."

Boudica understood perfectly well that Xiao Ce was saying this to lessen her guilt.

Boudica nodded. "Thank you, but I didn't expect to see Isa so soon..."

Xiao Ce asked Boudica, "What are your thoughts?"

Boudica gave a wry smile, then said to Xiao Ce, "Tell me the truth?"

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Of course!"

Boudica said, "I hate him, but because of you, I don't seem to hate her as much as I thought I did. What I hate most about her now is that she killed my family, not that she killed me or took away everything that was originally mine."

“I’ve thought about it. All of this is mine… I’m not happy. Just like that William, he’s not even worth one of your toes.”

When Xiao Ce heard Boudica say that, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Boudica continued, "Tse, I don't hate her now, I just want her dead."

Boudica said, then looked at Xiao Ce and asked, "Ce, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Of course! Of course I understand."

Boudica said, "Tse, I thought she might not know. She doesn't remember me, but I was naive..."

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "I know that..."

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "You know this, yet you still did it? Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "The moment I decided to have you come here under your own name, I wasn't going to try to get a reward secretly. I wanted her to know that you're back! And that you've become very powerful."

"Do you think it's better to just kill her, or to keep her constantly worried, fearful, and living in constant anxiety, not knowing when you'll seek revenge? Which is better?"

Boudica's eyes brightened immediately, and she said to Xiao Ce, "Naturally, the latter is better."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right, and even the heavens are on my side. I was worried before that the British Empire was their territory, but with Lingas here, even if the British wanted to extend their influence, it wouldn't be so easy for them!"

"Heaven is helping us!"

Boudica nodded, then said, "By the way, Ce, you were really cool when you shouted out the price just now. But, we're out of money now..."

Xiao Ce said with a smile, "No rush. Judging by the time, Xiao Yang will have the remaining funds sent over after the sea area is unblocked."

Back in the Roman Empire, Xiao Ce had arranged for Xiao Yang to be there to receive them and handle the subsequent payments.

Xiao Ce was also making two preparations, leaving half of his wealth to Xiao Yang.

Then Xiao Yang was asked to act as a transit point in the Roman Empire.

Firstly, it allows for some leeway in case of danger.

Secondly, it allows Xiao Yang to develop and expand within the Roman Empire. If they were together, they wouldn't achieve the desired results.

Xiao Yang was also very principled; he only asked for a few elite soldiers given to him by Brian Carter.

No one else is acceptable.

Xiao Ce told him to take it easy and also to see if there was any news about Yin Pan'er.

Boudica nodded, and Xiao Ce said to Ryan, "Ryan!"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ryan immediately looked at Xiao Ce with a respectful expression.

Because Xiao Ce and Boudica had just spoken in the Xiao Kingdom language, he couldn't understand a single punctuation mark.

Ryan approached respectfully; today's experiences felt like a dream to him.

After all, they had exchanged so many Sols at once, and then, with just a few words from Xiao Ce, they had almost spent them all.

For Ryan, this was like a dream.

Just being in this room now makes him feel a pang of heartache. He feels that every second he stays here is worth several months' salary.

However, Ryan also has a new understanding of them.

Ryan used to think they were rich, and now Ryan still thinks they are rich.

However, being rich is not the same thing.

"Mr. Ce, do you have any instructions?"

Xiao Ce said to Ryan, "I will have Da Lei go with you to exchange money. We have gold notes from various countries. You can exchange them all for Thor."

At this moment, Xiao Ce glanced at Night Cat, who then gave him the gold notes that Brian had previously scavenged from the other representatives.

The reason why Xiao Ce didn't feel bad was largely because of these gold notes.

In a way, he was squandering other people's money...

Ryan stared wide-eyed at the thick stack of gold notes.

Xiao Ce looked at Ryan, who was standing there in a daze, and said, "Take it and see if it's real!"

Ryan then came to his senses and took the gold ticket.

After checking them over, he said, "Not bad, Mr. Ce. These are all gold notes from various countries, which can be exchanged here. However, they all have passwords."

Xiao Ce looked at Da Lei and said, "I told him that you should go directly to John Joe, and he will make the arrangements for you."

Ryan was still a little worried: "Mr. Ce, should we find some people to protect us?"

Da Lei then said to Ryan, "Don't worry, I'm here..."

Ryan nodded, but then looked worried.

However, Da Lei was absolutely certain.

After watching Da Lei and Ye Mao leave, Night Cat subconsciously glanced at Xiao Ce, then at Boudica.

Night Owl suddenly realized something and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I'll go out first..."

Seeing the malicious smile on Night Cat's face, Xiao Ce quickly said to him, "What are you thinking, kid?"

Night Owl said awkwardly, "Your Highness, weren't you going to rest?"

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "What rest now? What time is it...?"

Night Owl said to Xiao Ce, "Where do we go next? We're broke right now!"

Xiao Ce then took out a slip of paper with a room number written on it.

Night Owl and Boudica were both taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Ce said, "Just now, the manager handed it to me. He said that Mr. Jin wanted to see me."

Boudica said warily to Xiao Ce, "Ce, are you going? That Mr. Jin doesn't seem like a simple person to me."

Night Owl nodded: "That's right, Your Highness. The two people behind that man are not simple! If Da Lei were not here, I'm not sure I could have dealt with them."

After hearing what Ye Mao said, Xiao Ce asked, "The two people behind me?"

As Xiao Ce spoke, he fell into thought, but after thinking for a while, he really didn't notice anything.

Night Owl said, "Actually, I didn't notice at first because the two bodyguards were always in the crowd. The really good bodyguards are ordinary, inconspicuous, and ideally, they are so unnoticed that people don't even notice their existence. That's how you achieve the greatest effect."

"Those two people completely 'disappeared,' not only disappeared, but remained within Mr. Jin's protection range. Therefore, Mr. Jin is definitely not simple. Perhaps we should wait for Da Lei to return. Or maybe we should send Number One and the others over..."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised to see Night Cat like this.

Because he has always been very confident.

Those who made him feel threatened were obviously not simple people.

However, compared to the night owl's nervousness, Xiao Ce was not so nervous.

"It's alright, you don't need to worry, you don't even need to go..."

At this moment, Night Cat stared wide-eyed at Xiao Ce and asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"They said they wanted to see me alone, and they want me to go alone! Not only can't you go, but Boudica can't go either..."

Night Owl and Boudica said almost in unison, "Your Highness, no! This won't do... It's too dangerous!"

"Your Highness, didn't you say that a wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall..."

Listening to Night Cat's words, Xiao Ce laughed and said, "That's not a dangerous wall. You said it yourself, even the two people beside him made you feel so dangerous. What if there were more people? You should know that this is his territory. If he wanted to kill me, it would be very easy for him!"

"Moreover, I think that person is not simple, and may be a great help to me. If he doesn't even have this much courage, then I'm superfluous!"

Finally, Xiao Ce opened his clothes.

Both of them were shocked when they saw it!
