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

Mr. Jin was satisfied with Xiao Ce's answer and was not unhappy with his threatening words. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with his methods.

Brave and resourceful!

"Haha, okay, Mr. Ce, since you put it that way, I'll definitely help you. It's a win-win situation, and I can't refuse!"

Hearing Mr. Jin's straightforward answer, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Of course, if Mr. Jin helps us, it will inevitably offend the royal family of the British Empire..."

Mr. Jin smiled and said, "It's alright. Actually, we're the ones who are doing all of this. If they weren't stupid, they wouldn't have taken the bait... What we're mainly doing is in our own interests... Besides, I'm not afraid of offending those royals!"

Mr. Kim then looked at Boudica and said, "Besides, isn't this a British noble family too? Who can say for sure what will happen in the future... Whoever laughs last laughs best!"

After listening to Mr. Jin's words, Xiao Ce knew that Mr. Jin had also decided to invest in them.

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Mr. Jin, "Mr. Jin, you're right. He who laughs last laughs best..."

As they spoke, one dish after another began to be served.

Xiao Ce changed the subject and said to Mr. Jin, "Mr. Jin, by the way, I've been calling you Mr. Jin, but I still don't know your name."

Mr. Kim smiled and extended his hand, then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, look, I've forgotten how to give a proper self-introduction. My name is Kimberly."

Compared to the many other foreign names that came up, Kimberly's name is relatively easy to remember.

Kimberly continued, seemingly noticing Xiao Ce's confusion: "Actually, generally only nobles use their paternal surname in their names. Ordinary people usually don't. So, it's quite simple to tell if someone is noble here... People like us are just ordinary people..."

Xiao Ce subconsciously looked at Jin Haoke.

"And what about this Jin Hulk? Is he also your relative?"

Xiao Ce finally asked the question that had been on his mind all along.

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly made no attempt to hide anything and said directly to Xiao Ce, "Not bad, Mr. Ce, you really have a good eye... But, you can't really call us relatives."

“His father was one of my most capable assistants, so I watched this boy grow up. When he was born, his father insisted that I choose a name for him. I was reading a book from the East and I thought the character ‘gold’ was pretty good, so I named him something similar to my name.”

Xiao Ce nodded.

Kimberly continued, "Of course, his father has been dead for many years now."

As they were talking, a sumptuous breakfast was served.

They started eating.

After they finished eating, Xiao Ce didn't sit there anymore.

"Mr. Jin, our duel is tonight, and we don't have much time left! We'll get busy now... How much money we can make this time depends on how much of a commotion we can create."

Kimberly nodded with a smile.

Xiao Ce then remembered that he had just followed Kimberly's advice and written dozens of checks.

The total is 20 billion.

Seeing that Xiao Ce was serious, Kimberly didn't hold back either.

After all, Xiao Ce had already said that he had a backup plan.

This amount of money was indeed substantial, but Kimberly really didn't take it seriously.

In Kimberly's eyes, one million soles was enough.

So Kimberly had a farm on the outskirts of Lingas—yes, not an estate, but a farm.

He also had a million soles of gold hidden over there.

So Kimberly said that even if he lost everything, he could still live the life of a farmer.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely screen these people carefully for you..."

Xiao Ce nodded and smiled at Kimberly, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Kimberly..."

After the two finished talking, Xiao Ce stopped talking and left with a bow.

After Xiao Ce returned...

Boudica and the others did not question Xiao Ce's decision.

However, Xiao Ce could tell that Boudica and the others had some questions.

However, Boudica and the others, trusting Xiao Ce, said nothing...

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Aren't you having some doubts?"

Boudica nodded: "After all, it's all our money... If something goes wrong... there's still a big risk."

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Firstly, I'm no longer afraid of them embezzling; my shadow guards are not to be trifled with. Secondly, I did this to strengthen my relationship with Kimberly. After this incident, Kimberly will definitely consider us close friends..."

Boudica nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, I support you... no matter what you do, I will support you..."

Night Owl and Big Thunder nodded in agreement: "Is this Kimberley really that sinister?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals dwelling there. Water is not sacred for its depth, but for the dragons residing within. This Kimberly may look ordinary, but believe me! His abilities are no less than some members of the Illuminati..."

Night Owl and Big Thunder nodded, then said, "Brother, you're the professional in this. What we say doesn't mean anything... and please don't take it too seriously..."

Just then, Ryan came in from outside.

Seeing Ryan's hurried appearance, Xiao Ce quickly asked, "Ryan, is there any news?"

Ryan nodded and smiled at Xiao Ce, saying, "That's right, Mr. Ce, we have news... I've confirmed it. Their East Asia president is in Twin Castles, and not only that, their agent is also there."

Xiao Ce looked at Ryan's confident expression with some surprise: "Oh? You're so sure, did you see it?"

Ryan shook his head and said to Xiao Ce, "It's not that I saw it. I was watching from over there. It was really a coincidence that I ran into an older brother I grew up with. He and my brother Lyca are brothers. I knew before that he had been accepted into the Lingas City Guard."

"Unexpectedly, recently, because the East Asian president and his agent, as well as the Western president and his agent, have all moved into Sun Castle and Twin Castles, many of the guards from Lingas City have been transferred there..."

"After I saw him, I asked him about him. And I actually found out! Not only was the acting president there, but the president himself was there too."

After listening to Ryan's words, Xiao Ce nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, people here often have a lot of connections.

"Has the person you mentioned ever seen them?" Xiao Ce asked Ryan.

Ryan nodded, then said, "Yes, I've seen her... I asked my childhood friend, who was fortunate enough to participate in the Guard Protection mission, so he saw the agent. He said the agent was a young and beautiful woman, and an Eastern woman..."

Although Xiao Ce already had some guesses in his mind, he was still very pleasantly surprised to confirm Ryan's identity.

The young woman from the East is Yin Pan'er.

Xiao Ce nodded in satisfaction and said to Ryan, "Good! Very good, Ryan, you did a great job... Go and cultivate a good relationship with your friend. You'll need his help in the future, so spending some money is no big deal..."

Ryan nodded: "Yes, sir. Is there anything else you require?"

Xiao Ce shook his head: "Just go and talk to him, keep an eye on their movements, and if they seem inclined to leave, notify you immediately..."

"Of course, I can't let you work for free. You still have to pay me the due compensation. Of course, you can decide for yourself how much to pay..."

Ryan nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, as you command..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ryan very sensibly went to open the door, and the person who came in was the manager here, Jin Hulk.

Ryan nodded respectfully to King Hulk: "Ryan, is Mr. Ce here?"

At this moment, Xiao Ce said to Jin Haoke, "Manager Jin, please come in."

Jin Haoke bowed and then came in.

After entering, Xiao Ce said to Jin Haoke, "Manager, is there any news yet...?"

Jin Haoke nodded: "That's right. Prince William and his wife went to the Bia restaurant in Lingas City for dinner. We went there before you and reserved all the private rooms at the hotel. If they go now, they'll definitely be turned away..."

This was a plan devised by Xiao Ce, because he had learned that Bia's restaurant was the most luxurious and expensive restaurant in the entire Lingas Hotel.

They mainly operate in the catering industry, so their dining standards are higher than those of Lingard's Restaurant...

For Prince William, who always wants to flaunt his status and identity, their arrival in Lingas City meant treating Bia Restaurant as their canteen.

After learning of this news, Xiao Ce, knowing that they were trying to provoke him, naturally booked them a private room.

Of course, this is only the first step; Xiao Ce used a series of stratagems.

Xiao Ce booked these private rooms so that Kimberly could invite families with many powerful gladiators to dine with him.

Xiao Ce wanted to create the impression that he didn't even have a decent gladiator under his command.

Although Kimberly was the one who made the invitation, Xiao Ce also made Kimberly distance himself from him, instructing Kimberly to say that he was merely acting as a go-between and that he had no personal connection to the matter...

Once Kimberly said that, the others naturally wouldn't come over.

Not only that, Xiao Ce also planned to have Boudica show up to provoke Isa.

This is the first step; now that they have stepped forward...

Xiao Ce then said to Jin Haoke, "Manager, thank you... Now that their main character has shown up, we should too..."

Jin Haoke nodded to Xiao Ce: "Mr. Ce, is there anything else we can do?"

Xiao Ce then said to Jin Haoke, "Just follow our plan. We'll make some publicity... Tell Mr. Jin that once we start arguing with them, they can send people to place bets in multiple smaller amounts."

Jin Haoke nodded and then fell silent.

Xiao Ce had already told Kimberly that the people he had found could place bets using insider trading, and no one would find out.

The so-called "insider trading" is the act of splitting a sum of money into several or even dozens of bets.

This avoids the situation where large or heavy positions are immediately detected by market makers.

As the saying goes, even a hero needs three helpers; let them all go to the people they trust to place their bets.

As for the 50% of profits promised by Xiao Ce, that's enough for them to divide up.

Xiao Ce did this so that, even if he succeeded, others wouldn't think it was a favor.

I still have ways to thank them.

That's how human relationships work; through repeated interactions, they develop into favors.

Moreover, given the situation with Yin Pan'er and her group yesterday, it's strange that they would bet on an upset match.

This gave him a pretext. Moreover, Xiao Ce would also have Kimberly spread some news.

Attracting retail investors to place bets will create a huge gambling den, making it even harder for the bookmakers to verify the information.

Therefore, Xiao Ce was very interested in this plan. Although it was just a betting scheme, Xiao Ce used his stock market experience from his previous life to play with them as easily as toying with children.

With that in mind, Xiao Ce changed his clothes and then said, "Although the rest of the scenes have been arranged, this opening scene still needs to be performed well..."

They left unhurriedly. As they went out, Jin Haoke added to Xiao Ce, "We sent it out as you instructed, but everyone asked if it was Mr. Jin's idea... We just said it was only an introduction, and whether they attend or not is entirely up to them..."

"Judging from the people who returned with the message, although they didn't explicitly refuse, there's a 90% chance they won't participate..."

Xiao Ce nodded and smiled at Jin Haoke, saying, "Okay...okay...okay...it's good that you're not coming..."

Jin Haoke didn't respond: "Mr. Jin has also found people to place bets on you, and they are discussing it together now."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Very good, thank you for your hard work."

As they spoke, Xiao Ce looked at Jin Haoke as if he had something to say.

Jin Haoke said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, I also want to bet everything on you to win... Is that alright?"

Jin Haoke only knew part of the plan and was unaware of Xiao Ce's overall plan.

Xiao Ce had a good impression of Jin Haoke, so he smiled and said, "Whether it's feasible or not depends on you, but I personally bet 20 billion... as you know! Although this is a good opportunity to invest, you should also know that investment requires caution!!"
