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

Xiaoyue said with lingering fear, "If he wants to attack us, are we powerless to resist?"

Yin Pan'er nodded and smiled, saying, "It's been like this for a long time..."

Seeing that Yin Pan'er could still laugh, Xiao Yue said to her with some surprise, "My lady, you have such a good attitude..."

Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded: "Actually, we should allow everything to happen, good or bad... and this thing isn't necessarily a bad thing..."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Xiaoyue nodded with a smile.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After Xiaoyue opened the door, the mad Taoist priest had changed back into his tattered, patched robe.

After entering, the Mad Taoist remained expressionless and stood silently beside Yin Pan'er.

"Taoist Master, weren't you being too flamboyant just now?" Yin Pan'er asked the mad Taoist.

The Mad Taoist shook his head and said, "This is already me concealing the vast majority of my strength... This is the most discreet way I can think of to win..."

The Mad Taoist said this without any emotion.

Anyone who heard him say that would think he was showing off.

In fact, Yin Pan'er also felt that the Mad Taoist was just showing off.

However, on second thought, this mad Taoist priest wasn't the type to show off.

So Yin Pan'er blurted out, "What if you don't keep a low profile?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, the Mad Taoist was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to fall into thought.

After thinking for a while, he finally spoke, "For example, you could crush his skull, or punch him in the head and blow it off..."

The methods this mad Taoist priest described were chilling just to hear.

Most importantly, the mad Taoist priest spoke very seriously...

"Alright, now that everything here is over, we can leave..." Yin Pan'er nodded and said.

The Mad Taoist nodded: "Now that person will have to obediently admit defeat."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "However, it might be that he agrees verbally but not in his heart..."

The mad Taoist priest, still devoid of any emotion, said, "If they're not satisfied and keep challenging you... then let's go and take them down..."

Yin Pan'er waved her hand: "Don't make any rash moves..."

The Mad Taoist glanced at Yin Pan'er: "Hopefully they'll know what's good for them. As long as they don't make a fool of themselves..."

Yin Pan'er, slightly displeased that the mad Taoist had no intention of listening to her, said to him, "Alright, if you want to listen to me, then you must follow my actions. If you want to listen to you, then I won't do anything... Do whatever you want."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, the Mad Taoist stared at Yin Pan'er for a while.

Then he slowly said, "Don't be angry, I'll listen to you..."

Although the mad Taoist was clearly trying to comfort people, he spoke without any emotion whatsoever.

Just then, Yin Pan'er said, "Your master has already told me what to do, I know what I'm doing... If you change my plan because of your impulsiveness, I will immediately go on strike, I quit!"

The mad Taoist nodded expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "My lady, don't be angry. Look, he doesn't react at all."

Xiaoyue cricketed at the mad Taoist in front of him, and the mad Taoist was unharmed.

Xiaoyue has also grasped some rules. For example, as long as you don't say any sensitive words that might provoke the Mad Taoist, he won't care at all.

However, Xiaoyue is still figuring out how to use these sensitive words.

However, Xiaoyue knew that confronting the mad cricket Taoist in person wouldn't be a big problem.

Or rather, he simply doesn't care.

After exchanging a few words, they took the cards they had redeemed and left.

The mad Taoist priest sat in the hood of the carriage and started driving.

As Xiaoyue watched the mad Taoist drive the car, she became very alert and realized that the road they were taking was not the same road they had come by.

Xiaoyue said to the mad Taoist, "Aren't you on the wrong path? We have our own special path. Why are you taking this one? Isn't this the path for ordinary people?"

The mad Taoist said to Xiaoyue, "Because someone is waiting for us on that road!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue immediately became wary and asked the mad Taoist, "Waiting for us? Who?"

The mad Taoist priest simply drove the carriage and did not answer.

After spending time with the Mad Taoist, Xiaoyue also learned about his habits.

Whenever this mad Taoist stops talking about something, it means he no longer wants to continue the topic.

Even if you beat the mad Taoist to death, you can still do it if he doesn't want to talk.

He won't tell.

Xiaoyue climbed into the carriage and looked at Yin Pan'er.

Looking at Xiaoyue, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Xiaoyue, let him go. This mad Taoist's control over danger is very strong... Ordinary people are really no match for him."

"Vans' side, their gladiators were instantly killed by us, they're definitely going to be unhappy..."

Vance is a new agent appointed by the Western Association president.

Yin Pan'er now suspects that they will cause trouble for them after they lose.

Xiaoyue listened with a puzzled look and said, "Isn't there a rule in Lingas City that private duels are not allowed within the city..."

Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Isn't this Lingas City the territory of the Illuminati? And aren't those the people who make the rules here? So no matter what, they're the ones who call the shots. As for early warning, we can still trust Madman."

Xiaoyue nodded in agreement and then said nothing more.

...

At this moment, Xiao Ce and his group were already waiting on the only road that Mr. Jin had mentioned.

However, after waiting for a while, not a single carriage came out...

After waiting for more than an hour, the sky grew even darker.

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, why haven't they come out yet?"

Xiao Ce frowned slightly and shook his head: "Perhaps they were delayed by something..."

Boudica asked Ryan, who was standing beside her, "Ryan, are there any other roads this way?"

Ryan said to Boudica, "Ms. Boudica, there are only two roads here. One is this private road, and the other is the public road. The one we came in on..."

Xiao Ce thought of something and said to Ryan, "Then can they also take that public road?"

Ryan nodded. "Of course, they could take either path, but they won't... unless there are special circumstances..."

After listening, Xiao Ce gave a wry smile and said, "Alright... how could we make such a basic mistake... why can't we only block one side of the enemy?"

Night Owl asked, "Brother, are you saying they deliberately took a different route?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "It's obvious, look how sparsely populated the people inside are..."

Da Lei said, "Did they do it on purpose? Or..."

Xiao Ce shook his head and said, "It's hard to say... After all, that mad Taoist is like a radar, it seems like he can know any information he wants... If that's the case, it wouldn't be difficult for him to hide from us."

"Of course, it's also possible it's just a coincidence..."

With that, Xiao Ce waved his hand: "Alright, no need to wait any longer... As long as we know Yin Pan'er is safe, that's enough... Anyway, we're both in Lingas City, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the others nodded.

Boudica still seemed somewhat unwilling to give up: "How about we wait a little longer!"

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "No need... I didn't think it through... Let's go back first. Since they're here, they shouldn't stay too long."

Because when they communicate, they use the Xiao language.

Therefore, Ryan, who was standing to the side, couldn't understand at all.

At this moment, Xiao Ce said to Ryan, "Ryan, tomorrow you go and find out something for me."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ryan immediately became extremely respectful.

He was constantly looking for an opportunity to get Xiao Ce to assign him tasks.

However, if Xiao Ce didn't make arrangements, Ryan couldn't ask directly.

"Mr. Ce, you said..."

Xiao Ce said to Ryan, "Go and find out where the East Asia President and the acting president of the West President live."

Ryan nodded: "Okay... Mr. Ce. But actually, I already know that."

Upon hearing Ryan's words, Xiao Ce immediately became interested and then asked Ryan, "Oh? You know about this too?"

Ryan nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, yes, I do know... however, we need to verify whether they actually live there."

"If I'm not mistaken, the person acting as the representative of the Western Guild Master should be residing in Sun Castle. Sun Castle is the largest castle in the entire city of Lingas, and it's the residence of the Illuminati... If the Master isn't here, the representative must be staying there as well. After all, there are already personnel there..."

"And the East Asia chairman's representative should be in the Twin Castles. The Twin Castles are the second largest castles, and they were sold off by their internal spies a few years ago. Everyone knows that the castle was purchased by the so-called East Asia chairman. So, since they are working for the chairman."

"Whether from a safety perspective or for other reasons, living in Fort Sunrise or the Twin Castles is the most suitable..."

Hearing Ryan's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright, then go and confirm it. But be careful... don't get discovered..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce took out Boudica's card book and wrote a check for one million soles on the back.

It's not that Xiao Ce is stingy, it's that he gave too much, which might not be a good thing for Ryan.

As the saying goes, a man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.

Xiao Ce handed it to Ryan.

Ryan looked at the check with a puzzled expression: "This..."

Xiao Ce said, "When you go out in the future, you'll also need operating expenses, such as for keeping watch on people and gathering information, all of which require money..."

Ryan nodded at first, then shook his head: "No...too much...too much...ten thousand...ten thousand is enough."

Xiao Ce laughed out loud, then said to Ryan, "Alright, you know how much money we have. And, if you do anything I ask you to do in the future, you'll need to use money to pay for it... I originally wanted to give you ten million, but I was thinking that if I gave you too much, some people might find out, and it would be unsafe for you."

Seeing that Ryan was still trying to refuse, Boudica said, "Ryan, just take it. This money isn't for you; we'll pay you separately for your services. Mr. Ce isn't concerned with the money; he wants you to turn this money into useful information and useful people..."

"Go and make more friends, or gather more information... Information is money. You saw that Mr. Jin gave us some information, and we made back at least 50 million in hotel expenses... You have to be willing to spend money! Don't lose the big picture for small gains, do you understand?"

Ryan nodded: "Thank you, Ms. Boudica. I understand your guidance..."

Xiao Ce said to Ryan, "You should know that when wealth is distributed, people gather, and when people gather, wealth comes."

Ryan looked extremely excited after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

He seemed to have heard some profound truth.

...

After Xiao Ce returned, he thought Mr. Jin would come to find him.

However, Mr. Jin did not come.

The next morning, Ryan, having received his mission, left early.

Xiao Ce was also woken up by Mr. Jin's invitation to have breakfast.

However, Xiao Ce naturally agreed.

This Mr. Jin is currently their biggest backer.

Actually, you can't really call them a backer; they're more like friends.

After spending time with him and making inquiries, Xiao Ce came to have a personal understanding of Mr. Jin.

This person said he was amazing, and he really was amazing. If he wanted to, he could find people from the Illuminati to help them.

However, to say he's not powerful is a stretch. In reality, he doesn't have much influence or business; he just has a lot of friends.

Actually, the theory that Xiao Ce followed Ryan to talk about yesterday was actually the feeling that Mr. Jin gave him.

Mr. Jin is very good at making friends.

He truly put into practice the principle that wealth disperses to attract people, and attracting people brings wealth in return.

Therefore, there is a saying in the city of Lingas.

If you have a problem that you can't solve in Lingas City, you can talk to Mr. Kim.

As long as Mr. Kim agrees, the matter can be resolved.

Even if Mr. Kim doesn't know any members of the Illuminati, he can still get information from within the Illuminati, even at the level of the president.

This precisely demonstrates Mr. Jin's prowess.

Xiao Ce then took Boudica to Mr. Jin's residence.

The door opened, and it was still that manager, Kim Hoo-ke. Last time, I didn't ask in detail about the relationship between Kim Hoo-ke and Mr. Kim.

Jin Hulk greeted the two with a smile.

Mr. Jin greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Ce, I hope I haven't disturbed you so early in the morning..."
