Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge
Chapter 695 Fermentation
Everything was exactly as Xiao Ce had imagined.
After waiting for a while, William Cam and Targaryen Isabella, who had been waiting for a long time, finally seemed unable to wait any longer.
"Hmph... Don't wait any longer. Boudica, how can you still be so naive after all these years! Why do you think those people came?" Targaryen Isa said quietly to Boudica and the others as she sat down.
Boudica glanced at Targaryen Isa and then said, "Do you know who I'm waiting for?"
Before Targaryen Isa could speak, William Cam interjected, "Isn't it just because we challenged you to a gladiatorial contest, and you didn't have any gladiators, so you wanted to go and buy gladiators from those wealthy merchants?"
William Cam spoke very loudly, his aim being to make sure everyone could hear him.
Boudica saw that they had taken the bait, so she put on a full-on performance.
"You...you...how did you know?!"
Boudica feigned surprise, then put on a stubborn expression.
"No, that's not me! You're overthinking it. It's not like that at all."
Xiao Ce observed that Boudica's acting was very rich and nuanced.
William Cam sneered: "Boudica, you can be stubborn... but you don't think that spending tens of millions to stay at the Gas Hotel will make Mr. Kim give you face, do you? Or perhaps you've bribed Mr. Kim."
Boudica still feigned a resentful expression.
Targaryen Isa looked at Boudica's murderous expression and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Didn't we just guess? Do you know why we know? Because Mr. King told us all these things."
"Mr. Jin said that if you go and ask him, he'll feel awkward refusing. That's why he symbolically went to find some other people for you, but Mr. Jin said it's up to them whether they go or not. Do you think they'll come after Mr. Jin said that?"
Xiao Ce found this Targaryen Issa quite interesting; she even dragged Mr. Kim into it, trying to sow discord between them.
Boudica's expression hardened with rage: "Impossible... Don't try to sow discord. We have a very good relationship with Mr. Kim!"
“Targaryen Isa, let me tell you, you're going to lose today…”
When Boudica first revealed her identity, Targaryen Isa was somewhat surprised.
I was taken aback by Boudica's extravagant spending back then; I was genuinely intimidated.
But later, as he learned more, he even had to borrow gladiators.
Targaryen Issa is no longer afraid of Boudica, after all, Boudica may just be rich.
Lingas City is never short of rich people, and here, Targaryen Issa could easily torment Boudica if she wanted to.
Therefore, Boudica's words sounded like a joke to Targaryen Isa at that moment.
Targaryen Isa slowly rose and walked over to Boudica.
Then, he looked Boudica up and down.
He then said, "What makes you think you are? You're not even a gladiator..."
As she spoke, Targaryen Isa seemed to have thought of something funny and burst into laughter.
Laughing, he said to Boudica, "You're rich, aren't you? You can buy it at the arena... Hahaha..."
Boudica was momentarily stunned as she watched Targaryen Isa laugh somewhat exaggeratedly.
I don't know what she was laughing at.
William Cam then said, "Alright, Isa. We thought she had some kind of ability, but it turns out... she's not even worth our attention."
Then, he looked at Boudica with disdain and said, "You think you can get revenge? Remember, no matter how much money you have, you can't touch a hair on our heads."
After saying that, the two of them couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Alright, enough of this nonsense. Talking to you is just a waste of our energy..."
"If you're willing to wait, then continue waiting here..."
As they spoke, the two of them didn't provoke Boudica any further, because they were afraid that if they provoked her too much, she wouldn't dare to participate and would eventually leave.
They simply swaggered away.
They then left in their carriage, while the people in the restaurant looked at Boudica with pity.
Immediately afterwards, they all secretly decided that they must watch the competition later.
After all, such stable investment opportunities are rare.
Boudica was still acting, and at this moment she put her embarrassment and awkwardness to the extreme.
The restaurant manager was very nice; he came over right now.
"Ms. Boudica, why don't you go back to your private room first?"
Boudica also felt quite tired of acting, so she took the opportunity to back down.
After going up to the second floor, the restaurant manager said to Boudica, "Ms. Boudica, shall we continue with the next dish?"
Boudica glanced out the window: "If they're not coming at this hour, they probably aren't coming..."
The restaurant manager, seemingly worried that Boudica might want a refund, awkwardly said, "Ms. Boudica, since you booked a private room and ordered your food in advance... we cannot give you a refund..."
"However, if you need it, I can go with our boss to see if we can apply for it..."
Boudica waved her hand and said with a smile to the restaurant manager, "Manager, you're underestimating me. I can afford to pay this little bit of money. I just don't have as much power as they do, but I have just as much money."
Of course, Boudica was exaggerating a bit; although they did have a lot of money.
However, the two families behind William Cam and Targaryen Isa possessed terrifyingly large fortunes.
However, neither William Cam nor Targaryen Isa can control them right now.
The restaurant manager nodded with a smile.
"So... are we not serving the food or not? You people..."
Boudica said, "It's alright, I was prepared."
Boudica then looked at Ryan. Actually, the performance just now was for others to see.
Boudica, adhering to the principle of never wasting anything, had Ryan hire the craftsmen they had invited.
Leica hasn't come these past two days either.
However, Xiao Ce also held the idea of making the best use of resources and talents.
I had Lyca bring over all the best craftsmen from Lingas.
This meal is on their behalf.
He glanced at Ryan as he spoke, and Ryan smiled and said, "I already invited them over earlier."
After they left, Ryan went to fetch someone.
Those people were actually drinking coffee not far away.
As she spoke, Boudica stood beside the bed, watching the carriages arrive one after another.
After the carriage arrived, the female workers got off one by one.
Previously, when Leica approached them, they promised to give them an extremely high price, and the boss would treat them to a meal.
They never expected it to be the Laybiya Restaurant.
Although these are all people from Lingas City, they are all ordinary people.
In fact, in Lingas, the rich and the ordinary are two completely different worlds.
At this restaurant, some people might spend a year's salary just to eat a meal in the main hall.
However, it's impossible for people to go without food and drink just for this one meal.
So in most cases, these female workers just look at it.
Boudica came downstairs again at this moment, and the female workers stood at the door, none of them daring to go in.
They even asked the driver who brought them here if he had taken them to the wrong place.
After Boudica left, they saw Ryan behind them.
"Ladies, this is your future boss, Targaryen Boudica."
Most of these female workers were middle-aged white women.
Although they are ordinary people, they have received all kinds of etiquette from a young age.
Upon learning Boudica's identity, they all bowed in respect.
Boudica smiled slightly: "Please, everyone, don't stand on ceremony. I'm just here to treat you all to dinner. In the future, I'll need your help..."
Boudica launched into a long string of polite remarks.
Boudica learned a lot about public speaking and inspirational techniques from Xiao Ce.
After his speech, Boudica invited everyone to a private room for dinner.
Not only was the manager dumbfounded, but even some of the wealthy businessmen who were originally in the lobby were dumbfounded.
Keep in mind that these private rooms, including the meal costs, are worth at least several million.
Is it just to treat some workers to a meal? That's a bit too extravagant.
However, everyone is aware of the hidden story behind it all.
...
William Cam and Targaryen Isabella were in good spirits after returning to the Gas Hotel.
When Jin Hulk saw the two people coming over, he knew it was his turn to appear.
With a hurried and anxious expression, Jin Haoke walked up to the two people.
"Prince William, Princess Elizabeth, you're finally back!"
William Cam noticed Kim Hulk's anxious expression: "Manager Kim, what's wrong?"
King Hulk looked around and then said, "Prince William, Princess Elizabeth, are you going to the arena to fight with Lady Boudica tonight?"
William Cam nodded: "Not bad. What's wrong? Is there a problem? You look scared."
King Hulk said to William Cam, "Prince William, be careful. Something's not right..."
William Cam looked at Kim Hulk with a puzzled expression and said, "Manager Kim, just say what you have to say."
Jin Hulk said to William Cam, "Prince William, go and check the odds for your match. Do you know what the odds are for that gladiatorial contest?"
William Cam said to King Hulk, "How would I know? I didn't even look... What's wrong?"
Jin Hulk said to William Cam, "Prince William, your odds of winning are 1 to 27340 soles. That means if you win, a bet of one sole will earn you 27340 soles."
"And Boudica and his team's odds of winning are only 1:1.00000281 Sol..."
William Cam listened, stunned for a moment, and didn't need Kim Hulk to explain what the odds were all about.
These odds mean they are destined to lose this match.
“Are you sure?” William Cam asked.
Jin Haoke nodded: "Of course, definitely. These odds show that Boudica must have gotten a sure-win gladiator. Otherwise, how could she dare to bet like this? With odds like this, there must be at least tens of billions of dollars betting on her to win."
William Cam and Targaryen Boudica exchanged glances, though they had no idea what was going on.
They had wondered if Boudica had deliberately placed such a bet to scare them away.
But this doesn't make sense either.
After all, no one in their right mind would do that. Although the two were arrogant, they realized that something was wrong.
They didn't say anything to Jin Haoke and left in a hurry.
As Jin Haoke watched them leave, he muttered to himself, "Looks like my acting skills are still pretty good."
William Cam and Targaryen Isabella discussed it in the car, but she still couldn't quite believe it until she saw it with her own eyes in the arena.
When they arrived at the arena, they found a long queue at the betting area.
Everyone was discussing the gladiatorial combat that was about to begin that evening.
The two of them listened for a while and realized that most of the people here were speculators.
Mainly because the odds were so outrageous, they were all prepared to bet 100 or 200 dollars on William Cam and his team to win.
It wasn't that they were optimistic about William Cam and his team, but rather that the odds were over 20,000 for every dollar won. If William Cam and his team won with 200 dollars, they could earn over 40 million soles, making them rich overnight.
However, as more and more people hold this idea, it has attracted a lot of speculative funds from retail investors.
Moreover, as the news spread quickly, it reached a hundred people from one to ten.
So when they arrived, the odds had already reached 1:12567 Sol. Although it had dropped considerably, it was still a very alarming number.
William Cam and Targaryen Issa exchanged a glance.
"Isa, what's going on?"
Targaryen Isa said to William Cam, "Do you think Boudica might be playing a ploy to scare us away?"
William Cam shook his head: "It's at least a multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme. Even if she's rich, there's no need for her to do this. If we don't leave, she'll lose tens of billions. Tell me, it's not worth it!"
As William Cam spoke, he followed up with Targaryen Isa, saying that he could go to the manager here and then try to figure out what kind of Ponzi scheme this was.
The two of them talked and then hurriedly left.
...
This news spread rapidly throughout the city of Lingas.
On one hand, it was spontaneous; on the other hand, some say that Xiao Ce asked Mr. Jin for help.
They also asked Lyca and the others for help, so when the time came, the whole city of Lingas was in an uproar.
Everyone was hoping to get a bargain, and many took time off work to place bets...
