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

As Mr. Jin spoke, he invited Xiao Ce inside.

"Mr. Ce, I invited you here for two reasons. First, to thank you, and second, because there's something I'd like to ask you!"

After inviting Xiao Ce and Boudica to sit down, Mr. Jin got straight to the point.

After listening to Mr. Jin's words, Xiao Ce looked at him with some confusion.

He then asked, "Mr. Jin, are you thanking me? I didn't do anything. Besides, given our relationship, you can ask me anything directly, and I'll definitely answer to the best of my knowledge."

Mr. Jin smiled upon hearing this, and then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, that would be best."

Mr. Jin paused for a moment, then told Jin Haoke.

"You can serve the food now."

Looking at Mr. Jin, Xiao Ce thought to himself that discussing matters face-to-face at the dinner table seemed to be ingrained in the Xiao people.

Xiao Ce waited quietly to the side, without interrupting Mr. Jin.

Mr. Jin then spoke up again, saying to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, first of all, thank you for letting me earn 25 million Sols."

As he spoke, Mr. Jin gave them back the 100 million they had bet on, along with the 50 million they had won.

"They settled their accounts at the arena early this morning and brought this over. Since we were in the same private room, they gave me your share..."

Xiao Ce accepted the check given to him in the arena and looked at it: "Making money really is that easy..."

Mr. Jin smiled and said to Xiao Ce, "This can't be simple. This kind of money isn't easy to earn... If you lose, you'll lose a hundred million... So, it takes your unique vision and courage to do this... To be honest, if it were me alone, I might spend tens or hundreds of thousands to play around, but I wouldn't be so crazy as to spend fifty million..."

"To be honest, looking back now, I still feel quite scared. I was really impulsive back then. In fact, quite a few people in Lingas City lost everything in the arena overnight, and were thus eliminated from the chance to compete in Lingas City..."

Xiao Ce nodded and smiled, saying, "Mr. Jin, it's good that we won. But don't worry, we were involved in the black market in the Roman Empire before, so we've naturally seen these things before... Therefore, we always have a bottom line no matter what we do. I bet 100 million yesterday, but losing that money is not important to us at all... It won't hurt us at all!"

Mr. Jin smiled and said, "Of course I know that, and I do have that confidence... I still believe in you... I'm talking about myself. Actually, fifty million is quite a lot for me... So, thank you, twenty-five million soles is still a considerable amount of income for me."

Xiao Ce had heard of Mr. Jin's deeds and knew that he was generous with his money, so he was just being modest.

“Mr. Jin, you’re too kind. You earned this money yourself through your courage and boldness. Even if I raved about it, you wouldn’t dare to place a bet… And if anyone should say thank you, it’s me who should thank you. If you hadn’t taken me there, I wouldn’t have known about this, and I certainly wouldn’t have been able to get the tickets.”

Xiao Ce wasn't just boasting when he said that.

It was genuine gratitude, not because of making money. He actually had no interest in money at all.

There was no other reason than that I received news about Yin Pan'er.

Xiao Ce's first target upon arriving here was Yin Pan'er.

Mr. Jin laughed and said, "Alright, Mr. Ce, you really know how to talk. Then I won't thank you, we're even!"

Xiao Ce smiled and looked at Mr. Jin.

Mr. Jin continued, "By the way, Mr. Ce, I have another question. What are your chances of winning against Prince William and his men in the arena today?"

Xiao Ce said to Mr. Jin, "One hundred percent!"

Since Xiao Ce's words came out almost spontaneously, Mr. Jin looked on in astonishment and said, "Are you so sure, Mr. Ce? You must have witnessed what happened yesterday. Anything can happen in the arena..."

In fact, Xiao Ce had discussed it with Ye Mao and Da Lei yesterday. They were afraid that if they encountered that mad Taoist, they would have no chance of winning.

Not only Night Cat and Thunder, but the entire Shadow Guard is no exception. Based on the strength that Mad Taoist showed yesterday, no one is his match.

However, they also said that there is only one person like the Mad Taoist.

It's unlikely that he possesses the strength of the Mad Taoist.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ce said to Mr. Jin, "You must have seen the gladiator that Prince William and his group mentioned, right? How does he compare to that 5455 gladiator?"

Mr. Jin remained silent for a moment, appearing to be deep in thought.

After thinking for a while, he said to Xiao Ce, "They should be evenly matched. We'll have to see how they perform in actual combat. But they're definitely not as strong as that new gladiator from the East Asia Association's representative."

"I didn't even understand how that gladiator won..."

Then Mr. Jin began to talk about that match and the story afterward.

Mr. Jin said that after this incident, the entire arena, and even the people of Lingas, were in an uproar, and later the people of the arena also began to analyze it.

Finally, he came to the conclusion that the gladiator acting as the representative of the East Asia Association possessed extremely powerful strength; he had only made a throwing motion.

However, when the arena staff were cleaning up the battlefield, they discovered that one end of the spear was twisted and deformed, indicating that it had been caused by a tremendous external force.

They had people replicate it, and even had people known for their strength try it out.

As a result, they all failed. The final conclusion was that the gladiator possessed heaven-defying, unparalleled power.

This conclusion is the same as that of Da Lei and Ye Mao.

Xiao Ce listened as Mr. Jin said, "Mr. Jin, if that person and Gladiator 5455 are evenly matched, then we will definitely win..."

"Of course, if it's someone like that freak from yesterday, then we're guaranteed to lose! Simply put, as long as the opponent is within the realm of normal people, we're guaranteed to win; otherwise, we're guaranteed to lose..."

After listening, Mr. Jin said to Xiao Ce, "Alright, I understand. Victory is assured!"

Then Mr. Jin looked at Night Cat and Da Lei standing next to Xiao Ce and asked, "Is it one of these two gentlemen?"

Mr. Jin is knowledgeable and has a keen eye for people.

At first glance, Night Owl and Da Lei are clearly skilled martial artists, and the longer you observe them, the more extraordinary they seem.

Xiao Ce shook his head at Mr. Jin, then said with a touch of arrogance, "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"

Mr. Jin was somewhat surprised after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Because there were only a few people around him, and besides those few people, there was only that young Ryan.

However, he had also investigated this Ryan; he was a person from Lingas City.

They don't seem like they can fight.

Xiao Ce said to Mr. Jin, "Mr. Jin, although I was just telling you to stay calm and rational, I can now add this: these kinds of stable investment opportunities are rare... Bring out all the liquid cash you have..."

Mr. Jin looked surprised after hearing Xiao Ce's words: "Bet all of them on you to win?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right! I'll buy some too! I wanted to buy more, but I'm afraid the odds won't be high enough..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce wore a smiling expression.

Looking at Xiao Ce's smile, Mr. Jin felt that Xiao Ce had no good intentions.

"Mr. Ce, do you have something on your mind?"

Xiao Ce said to Mr. Jin, "That's right, Mr. Ce, let's go big... I want you to act in a play with me..."

Mr. Jin looked at Xiao Ce with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Ce then spoke softly to Mr. Jin.

Xiao Ce spoke with great enthusiasm, and the more Mr. Jin listened, the more respectful he became of Xiao Ce's expression.

After waiting for Xiao Ce to finish speaking, Mr. Jin smiled and said, "Alright... Mr. Ce, I'll play along with you in this scene..."

Xiao Ce cupped his hands to Mr. Jin and said, "Whether we can make a big score depends on you, Mr. Jin."

Mr. Jin asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, how much are you planning to invest?"

Xiao Ce said to Mr. Jin, "I'm going all in, since opportunities like this don't come often."

Mr. Jin said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, there are some things I shouldn't have said. If you reveal your true colors, everyone will see that you're easy prey. If Prince William joins forces with some people... it might not be a good thing for you."

Xiao Ce naturally understood Mr. Jin's implied meaning, and then said, "Mr. Jin, I naturally understand what you mean. So, what do you mean? How much money should we offer?"

Mr. Jin was silent for a moment: "At most one billion..."

Xiao Ce listened in silence for a moment, his eyes fixed on Mr. Jin.

Seeing Xiao Ce staring at him, Mr. Jin quickly explained, "Of course, Mr. Ce, you can go all in if you want, but I'm only talking about a low-probability event. I'm just making a suggestion."

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Mr. Jin, "Mr. Jin, your suggestion is very correct... I understand... Moreover, you have said a lot. I think even 1 billion is too much."

Mr. Jin looked at Xiao Ce with a sly glint in his eyes and a smile on his face.

This smile was exactly the same as the smile Xiao Ce had when he came up with the plan earlier.

Mr. Jin asked curiously, "Mr. Ce, so, you're preparing to...?"

Xiao Ce said, "I'll bet fifty million Sols."

After hearing this, Mr. Jin quickly waved his hand and said, "There's no need for such a small amount; it's you who won't be making any money..."

Xiao Ce shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I still need to make money. After all, I can't miss out on such a money-making opportunity..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at Mr. Jin again.

Looking at Xiao Ce's smile, Mr. Jin knew that he had something for Xiao Ce to do again.

Mr. Jin smiled and said, "Mr. Ce, what's your plan? Just tell me, and if I can do it, I definitely will..."

Xiao Ce said to Mr. Jin, "Mr. Jin, it's very simple. Do you have some very trustworthy friends? These friends don't need to be too rich, they're wealthy, but not the top-tier kind."

Mr. Jin had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

However, he did not interrupt Xiao Ce.

Instead, he nodded to Xiao Ce: "Of course."

Xiao Ce asked, "Mr. Jin, are those people from all walks of life?"

Mr. Jin nodded and said bluntly, "Just tell me what conditions you need."

Xiao Ce looked directly at Mr. Jin.

Without further ado, he said to Mr. Jin, "Ideally, everyone should be like us, starting from scratch and not having deep connections with the twelve families. If there are connections, it's not a big problem, but people need to have sound values ​​and not be like Prince William..."

Without further ado, Xiao Ce revealed his plan.

"As for the number of people, there is no upper limit. I won't hide it from you, I have prepared 20 billion. You choose how many people, and I will divide it equally among them, letting them place bets on my behalf. If they lose, it has nothing to do with them. Of course, if they win, I can give them half of the profits."

After Xiao Ce frankly revealed his plan,

Although Mr. Jin had guessed Xiao Ce's plan, he was still somewhat surprised when he heard it.

In fact, not only Mr. Kim was surprised, but Boudica was also astonished.

"Mr. Ce, are you aware of the risks involved? If I were to harbor malicious intentions, I could pocket all 20 billion of your money..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Mr. Jin, since I've said it, it means I trust you..."

Mr. Jin said, "It shouldn't be that simple."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's natural, Mr. Jin. As you know, and as I've mentioned before, we made our fortune through the underground industry. There are more than just these few people here. You should also know how many of us came... and those people are no ordinary folks! If you really can swallow this, I have ways to make you swallow it and then spit it out."

"Although this is Lingas City, establishing a foothold here isn't easy, but infiltrating here to do some things isn't difficult..."

"Actually, there's a saying: 'You might earn money, but not live to spend it!' We have the ability to make those who stole our money return it, and then pay the price with their lives. We won't suffer any losses; we'll simply leave this place."

"You know, the West is a huge place... Of course, this is all a last resort. The fact that I'm going to go along with you means I'm already absolutely certain. Although we haven't met many times, you can tell if someone is capable or not in just one glance. If you can tell at a glance, they're capable; if they're not, they're not..."

"And Mr. Jin, I think you're capable... so I trust you. Besides, making money isn't the primary concern. You should understand my ulterior motives. With your help, I've quickly made contact with those wealthy people here, and the fact that they've earned your approval proves they're people of good character and ability!"

"After becoming friends with them, I feel like I've officially established myself here. Expanding my circle of friends makes things much easier."
