Chapter 680 Can I Be Your Friend?
They discovered that Xiao Ce had somehow acquired a ring of the latest type of explosives developed by the Tianji Academy of the Xiao Kingdom strapped to his body.
A ruthless look appeared on Xiao Ce's face, and he said, "Does this count as equality for all beings?"
Boudica and Night Owl both showed great surprise.
"Your Highness, didn't you say... that even the most stable things can still have problems? Didn't you say not to do dangerous things?"
Xiao Ce laughed and said, "It's fake! It's enough to fool people."
The two of them finally burst out laughing.
"Don't worry, I'm prepared! Like I said, they have a thousand and one ways to deal with this. I personally don't think he'll use such a foolish method..."
Seeing Xiao Ce's confident demeanor, Night Cat didn't waste any more words.
They had all spent a long time with Xiao Ce, so they naturally knew about his abilities.
They also knew that Xiao Ce had carefully considered everything he said.
They then stopped talking.
"Then, Your Highness, I'll go with you and wait outside..."
Xiao Ce waved his hand: "No need, no need for such trouble... Since you've decided to go alone, let's be generous..."
With that, Xiao Ce walked out.
Before Xiao Ce left, Night Cat said to him with great certainty, "Your Highness, rest assured... If that person dares to lay a finger on you, I will bring my men here to avenge you!"
Xiao Ce listened to Night Cat's words, smiled helplessly, and glanced at him: "Hope well for me... and from now on, either call me brother or call me by my name..."
Night Owl smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Ce."
Although Xiao Ce had spoken for quite a while, he really couldn't bring himself to call Ye Mao "brother."
After Xiao Ce walked out, the steward was already waiting for him.
"Mr. Ce, what are your instructions?"
Xiao Ce handed him the note: "Take me to this room."
The butler nodded respectfully.
...
At this moment, in Mr. Jin's room.
The previous manager was in the same room as him.
At this moment, the hotel lobby manager continued to thank Mr. Jin repeatedly.
Mr. Jin waved his hand: "There's no need to thank me like that. Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you."
The manager, still resorting to flattery, said, "Mr. Jin, your solution is truly excellent... If it weren't for your method... it wouldn't have been resolved so easily. If I had thought of that myself, I wouldn't have troubled you..."
After listening to his words, Mr. Jin glanced helplessly at the manager and said, "You still don't understand what's going on? The reason this matter was resolved has nothing to do with my method."
"Even if you came up with this idea, it wouldn't have the same effect. Do you think those people would listen to you?"
The manager continued to nod, like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Yes, yes, it won't fetch that price. But Mr. Jin, didn't you invite the wrong person just now? You should have invited the slave's master, not the slave himself?"
Mr. Jin smiled faintly: "Whatever I need his master to do, I'll ask him!"
Mr. Jin only said that, without revealing his true thoughts.
The manager standing to the side nodded: "Well, if you let him come alone, do you think he dares?"
Mr. Jin slightly raised his head, as if he was thinking.
"If you don't dare to come, then I've misjudged you..."
Just then, a very rhythmic knocking sound came from outside the door.
Mr. Jin revealed a triumphant smile: "It seems my judgment is still sound; I haven't misjudged anyone."
The manager bowed and said, "Mr. Jin, would you like me to open the door?"
Mr. Jin nodded, and the manager walked over without saying a word.
Upon arriving at the door and opening it, Xiao Ce was immediately spotted.
Previously, this manager had discriminated against Xiao Ce because of his skin color and appearance, but after this incident...
The fact that Mr. Jin arranged a private meeting with Xiao Ce further demonstrates that Xiao Ce is no ordinary person.
You should know that Mr. Jin has helped a lot of people over the years, and anyone he has taken a liking to and helped has become very successful here.
This manager's identity is actually quite impressive, otherwise he wouldn't be in his current position...
Therefore, he was very respectful to Xiao Ce at this moment.
He then said, "Mr. Ce, you've arrived! Mr. Jin is already waiting."
Seeing that the manager was still there, Xiao Ce's suspicions were somewhat confirmed.
When Xiao Ce saw Mr. Jin step in to help him, he felt that this manager might be someone special, and later sent a letter to Mr. Jin.
The fact that he's still around shows that he must be someone Mr. Jin trusts.
Therefore, Xiao Ce was quite polite to the manager and nodded slightly.
He then went inside. The manager looked around to make sure that no one else had followed him except for the hotel's butler.
Then they closed the door.
At this moment, Mr. Jin saw Xiao Ce coming over: "Your name is Ce, right?"
Xiao Ce looked at Mr. Jin and nodded: "That's right, Mr. Jin."
Mr. Jin then sat down at a table and switched from speaking British to speaking the language of the Kingdom of Xiao.
"Would you like coffee or tea?"
Xiao Ce immediately recognized that Mr. Jin's Xiao Guo dialect was very non-standard, with a strong foreign accent.
Just like his judgment, this Mr. Jin is actually a banana (a person who is Westernized but not Chinese)...
Xiao Ce didn't hide anything and replied to Mr. Jin in Xiao's language, "Mr. Jin, I'll do as you say. I'll follow your lead..."
Mr. Jin laughed heartily upon hearing Xiao Ce's Xiao Guo dialect, then switched back to British English: "Did I show off a bit? I hope you'll forgive my boasting..."
Xiao Ce replied with a smile, "Mr. Jin, what you said is very accurate..."
Mr. Jin waved his hand: "Hahaha, you're the one who speaks well. Whether it's Xiao Guo language or British English, it's very standard... Are you from Xiao Guo? Or did you grow up in the British Empire?"
Xiao Ce said to Mr. Jin, "Mr. Jin, my childhood was indeed in the British Empire. I grew up on a farm in a small town in Thames. After I was three years old, I was sold to the port of Villatu in the Roman Empire, and later to a wealthy family in the city of Louisnor. Later, the wealthy family offended a powerful figure and was killed. We then escaped. At the age of eight, I wandered through the city of the Sirens, and at the age of nine, I went to the city of Helios..."
"At the age of twelve, I went to sea again, to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and finally to the British Empire. Later, I met my master at sea, Lady Boudica. He taught me British. Later, he had enemies in the British Empire, so we went to the Roman Empire to settle down and do business together."
"She had a noble status, and I had a business mind. We joined forces and made our first fortune by selling gladiators in the Roman Empire. Later, we operated underground in the Roman Empire until we had enough money to return with my master."
This "underground" doesn't actually refer to underground areas, but rather to some shady industries.
This story was carefully considered by Xiao Ce. Firstly, although he was a slave, he believed that his abilities and Boudica's relationship were not that of superior and subordinate.
The cities he mentioned are all real, and the black market is normal; it exists everywhere.
It won't be surprising how much money they have by then, since everyone knows the black market is lucrative. However, everyone also understands that engaging in the black market means risking your life for money...
Moreover, the reason for following Mr. Kim's lead in saying all this was to reveal Boudica's identity.
After all, Xiao Ce didn't think Boudica could hide her identity for long. If it weren't for the people from the British Empire, she might be able to hide it for a while.
But now that their arch-enemy has arrived, it's better to be direct than to hide it.
So, this explains Boudica's story of being sold and then meeting someone at sea.
The story then unfolds as Boudica expands his influence in the Roman Empire, and his return is solely for revenge.
After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Mr. Jin smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Xiao Ce's frankness.
After all, Mr. Jin had also seen that Xiao Ce was not just an ordinary slave.
"I never imagined, Mr. Ce, that your manager's life had been so bumpy. So, you and your master, to be precise, are partners?"
Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right! That's how it is... But I don't care. My master doesn't care either... We don't care about other people's opinions."
Mr. Jin followed up on Xiao Ce's words, saying, "Mr. Ce, you said your master was also a nobleman of the British Empire? Would you mind telling me?"
Mr. Jin is a smart man, and even more so, a wise man.
One of them was deliberately passing on the message, and the other knew how to respond, and neither of them exposed their ulterior motives.
Xiao Ce glanced at Mr. Jin: "Mr. Jin, I think we are destined to meet... at least we have the same skin color. You don't mind me saying that, do you?"
Mr. Jin smiled and said, "I have never denied my bloodline. My parents were from the Xiao Kingdom in East Asia... It's just that I have never been there. I am not ashamed of this; on the contrary, I am proud of it."
"After all, here, if a white person achieves what I have, people might not think much of it. But because I have this face, people will definitely look at me differently. They'll definitely think that I'm someone extraordinary..."
After listening to Mr. Jin's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right, Mr. Jin. That's what I think too. Looking at me, don't you also think that I must have some extraordinary qualities to have achieved this?"
Mr. Jin nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, that's how I got here."
Xiao Ce smiled and, instead of digressing, steered the conversation back on track.
"Yes! Actually, Mr. Jin, there is a reason why I did this today. It wasn't done rashly. My master was indeed a nobleman here, and a very high-ranking one at that."
After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Mr. Jin seemed to have thought of something, but he did not interrupt.
At this point, Xiao Ce said, "My master is from House Targaryen..."
Mr. Jin suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Targian Boudica?"
Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing Mr. Jin's words: "How did you know?"
Mr. Jin said, "The news of Targaryen Boudica's disappearance was a major event in the British Empire. In order to find him, his uncle, Brian Carter, wanted to join the Illuminati, but he encountered many obstacles."
"Later, they sold off all of the Brian family's assets, and then went to search for...so..."
Hearing Mr. Jin say this, Xiao Ce replied, "That's right, we found it. However, it wasn't mentioned back then that Brian also went to East Asia. Without the help of a benefactor, we wouldn't be where we are today..."
As Xiao Ce spoke, he completed the story...
Mr. Jin listened with even greater conviction: "So, judging from your actions, Ms. Boudica wasn't actually missing?"
Xiao Ce nodded: "Of course!"
Mr. Jin smiled and nodded: "Alright! So, you've come here this time to..."
Xiao Ce smiled slightly at Mr. Jin, making no attempt to hide anything, and said bluntly, "Revenge!"
Mr. Jin was taken aback by Xiao Ce's straightforwardness: "You're just telling me this so directly? Let's just say we're strangers. Aren't you afraid I might have some entanglement with them and could nip you in the bud?"
Xiao Ce smiled: "I might have had those concerns before, but, Mr. Jin, after you say that... I won't anymore..."
After saying this, Xiao Ce looked at Mr. Jin with a smile...
The two looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
"Good, good, not bad! A smart person..."
Xiao Ce said to Mr. Jin, "Mr. Jin, you didn't come here to chat just like this, did you?"
Mr. Jin smiled and said, "Mr. Ce, not bad... I didn't have any other thoughts. We were just chatting. I mainly thought you were a smart man. I owe my current position entirely to the support of my friends. Therefore, I enjoy making friends, especially new friends in Lingas."
"Then, if my friends need help, I can offer whatever assistance I can!"
Xiao Ce had already understood what Mr. Jin meant.
This Mr. Jin is here to find people with potential, and then provide them with help when they are nobody.
This can also be considered a form of venture capital...
When the friends he takes a liking to recover, they will naturally remember his help!
This kind of investment in connections is undoubtedly more valuable...
So Xiao Ce smiled at Mr. Jin and said, "So, Mr. Jin, do you think I have the honor of becoming your friend?"
