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

John Jonard didn't respond.

Targaryen Issa continued, "If you, Agent, help us this time, I will certainly inform the British royal family, our Targaryen family, and all the families that are on good terms with us to thank you properly. Thank you for saving our reputation!"

John Jonard was waiting for Targaryen Isa to say this, and he smiled without saying a word as he looked at William Cam.

William Cam, understanding the implication, replied, "That's right, Agent, that's what I meant too. If such an accident were to occur, Agent, you wouldn't want to see those of us who support you suffer misfortune, would you?"

John Jonard was just waiting for these two to say this: "Okay, you're right. Now that you've spoken, I certainly won't let you lose... Alright, from now on, you'll just wait obediently, and everything else will be handled by us, okay?"

William Cam and Targaryen Isa nodded excitedly after hearing John Jonard's words.

He then said, "Of course...of course...we couldn't be happier."

John Jonard nodded and said to the white advisor beside him, "You guys go and spread the word that Boudica's gladiators might be the same gladiators that the East Asia President killed in an instant that day. Just exaggerate their prowess."

After listening to John Jonard's words, William Cam asked with a puzzled look, "Why do this?"

John Jonard said, "We need to make money, we need people to believe in them and then place bets on them... otherwise, we're just wasting our time."

After hearing this, William Cam and Targaryen Isa immediately realized what was going on and said, "Yes, yes, yes..."

These people nodded in agreement and then went about their own business.

After waiting for a while, William Cam and Targaryen Isa exchanged a few pleasantries with John Jonard and then hurriedly left.

Because Targaryen Issa felt that such money-making opportunities were rare.

Before they could even spread the news, many people started betting on Boudica and his team to win.

So the odds started to widen again, and Targaryen Isa mortgaged some of her properties in Lingas, including those in the British Empire.

To William Cam's surprise, Targaryen Isabella lent out nearly six billion dollars worth of those properties.

Seeing William Cam's expression, Targaryen Issa quickly explained, "Your Highness, I did this not to hold back, but simply because, firstly, all these assets belong to the Targaryen family, not to me personally."

"My mother gradually moved the money out over the years. Secondly, I'm always thinking, better safe than sorry. Look at this situation, there's still a risk... If it weren't for Mr. John Jonard, we might still have lost... And if we lost, I could still keep this money in my pocket. We're husband and wife... I always have to do some management..."

"I am your wife, so everything I have will naturally be yours from now on..."

William Cam listened and nodded, his expression softening considerably.

"Then why aren't you thinking about providing a safety net now...?"

Targaryen Isa smiled and said, “Your Highness, you see, even John Jonard is involved. Just as you said, they’ve put the money right in front of us. Wouldn’t it be foolish not to pick it up?”

William Cam nodded: "That's right. I saw those agents with quite a few people preparing to bet on us to win. And with the agents helping us change the rules of the arena... how could we possibly lose? We have no chance of losing."

Targaryen Isa smiled and nodded at William Cam: "That's right, we have absolutely no chance of losing, it's just... I have some concerns."

William Cam asked Targaryen Issa with a puzzled look, "Worried? What are you worried about?"

Targaryen Isa said, "I'm afraid John Jonard has already left the game. Do you think his rival, the East Asia Association's representative, might also leave... If so, and we go and provoke that East Asia Association representative to leave the game, wouldn't that just be giving Boudica a free ride?"

William Cam smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, absolutely not. At most, they won't get involved, but they will never stand against us."

Targaryen Isa looked at William Cam and asked with certainty, "Why are you so sure?"

William Cam smiled and said to Targaryen Isa, "Because their East Asia Chairman has already retreated from the East Asian battlefield. That naval battle caused them heavy losses, and they won't be able to organize a war for at least three to five years... So, it means they need to recuperate here, and naturally, they need our support..."

"So, at this critical juncture, how could they possibly offend us? Besides, this time, with John Jonard's advice, many family conglomerates will be involved... so they won't offend so many people on this matter..."

Targaryen Isa nodded. "Prince, your considerations are indeed insightful... Should we follow our people and inform them of the situation? After all, such opportunities are rare... It would be a favor we're doing..."

William Cam nodded: "Indeed, as expected of the Illuminati, their operations are truly professional... You're right, this kind of opportunity is like picking up money..."

As they spoke, they returned to their private room, where the people they had invited were still present.

William Cam then recounted what he had just discussed with John Jonard.

After saying that, he added, "Anyway, I've told you the news. Because of the tight schedule, Isa has already mortgaged all of their assets and made a bet... If you want to make money, go for it yourselves..."

"You only get one chance. If you miss it, it's gone forever... There won't be a second chance..."

These people nodded in agreement as they listened: "So, did John Jonard's agents also bet on you, Prince?"

William Cam raised his head: "That's right. Actually, I've already said everything you needed to say... I'm not forcing you, after all, I can't guarantee you a win..."

At this point, some of the wealthy businessmen quickly chimed in, "Hey, Your Highness, you're too modest... Since you've said that... if we don't understand, doesn't that mean we're out of our minds? We want to increase our bets... increase our bets..."

Wealthy businessmen have expressed their opinions, and those who originally did not want to place bets are now looking at William Cam with great interest.

William Cam chuckled and said, "Alright, if you want to place bets, of course I'll let you. But remember, this information must be kept secret... If word gets out and everyone bets on us, causing the odds to drop too low, I won't be responsible..."

The wealthy merchants nodded hurriedly, then said, "We understand...we understand...Prince, we know the principle of making money quietly, we understand..."

William Cam listened and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good... Now, we can just sit back and count the money."

So these wealthy businessmen pulled out all the stops, since the Illuminati had already changed the rules for this gladiatorial contest... they were going to such lengths to win...

They simply couldn't afford to lose...

Such opportunities are rare, and some wealthy businessmen have even started mortgaging their properties. Once one starts, others follow suit.

William Cam tried to persuade him, but to no avail...

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Ce and Boudica were in Kimberly's private room.

Just before that, Jin Haoke also took leave to come over.

When Jin Hulk first arrived, he was quite happy, but as more and more news came in...

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Because everything was exactly as Kimberly had said, and there were all sorts of rumors outside saying their gladiators were incredibly powerful, it was clearly an attempt to get people to bet on them...

"Mr. Kim, Mr. Ce, Ms. Boudica, although all the good news is favorable to you, I've heard that many large bets have been placed on the other side to win..."

Jin Haoke said nervously.

Looking at Hulk, Kimberly chuckled and said, "Hulk, did you also bet on Mr. Ce?"

Jin Haoke nodded awkwardly: "I didn't expect that the Illuminati would get involved in this matter..."

Kimberly glanced at Kim Hulk: "Alright, it's done. Adults have to be responsible for their actions..."

Jin Haoke nodded: "Mr. Jin, I know... my little bit of money is nothing... it's just..."

Jin Haoke looked at Xiao Ce and Boudica with some concern.

Jin Haoke hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Xiao Ce smiled at Jin Haoke and said, "Since I dare to gamble, I'm not afraid of losing... This is nothing... Besides, so what if it's that Western chairman's agent who ends up? Are they that powerful?"

"No matter how good they are, they still lost, didn't they? So, until the very last moment, who can really know what will happen..."

"Besides, to be honest, they should be the ones who are afraid, not me... This is the money we have, while they've mortgaged and borrowed a lot of money..."

Xiao Ce spoke with an air of nonchalance.

Kimberly, along with the group of wealthy businessmen he had invited, looked at Xiao Ce with amusement.

I still admire Xiao Ce very much; his relaxation is genuine, not feigned...

Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, we still need to learn from you... Even though we're all spending your money, we're definitely more nervous than you are."

After hearing Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Kim, I'm not using my own money..."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he looked at Boudica.

Boudica smiled easily, then said to Xiao Ce, "I believe in Ce's abilities... I've never seen him lose since I started following him..."

"This time, I still believe Mr. Ce will win."

Boudica's evaluation was quite high, and the way the group looked at Xiao Ce changed somewhat.

After all, there's that line: "I've never lost since I followed him."

This is of very high quality.

Most importantly, Xiao Ce did not refute it.

That is equivalent to tacitly agreeing.

Looking at the two people in the entire private room who seemed the most relaxed.

Kimberly chuckled and said, "It seems we were a little too worried this time..."

Some wealthy businessmen said, "That's right, Mr. Ce, would you like us to place a bet on you?"

Xiao Ce said with a smile, "Haven't you already placed your bets?"

The wealthy businessmen shook their heads and then said, "That's true, but ultimately that money is still yours. Although this time the risk is high, things are already in complete chaos... High risk also hides huge opportunities... so we want to take a gamble too."

Xiao Ce nodded after listening to their words: "That's up to you personally. Our stance is 30 billion... I can't say anything more. After all, if we lose, I won't have the money to compensate you. This was originally a good thing... I don't want it to turn into a bad thing..."

Kimberly smiled and said, "That's right, gentlemen. The profits Mr. Ce has given us are more than enough. We don't need to put any more money in... You know, we don't even know what they'll do."

"I don't know about other things, but I do know they'll definitely resort to dirty tricks, and that Western chairman's agent will definitely use very dirty methods to ensure their victory; they're here to make money. Let's wait and see..."

Mr. Jin's words helped these wealthy businessmen regain their composure.

The wealthy businessmen then asked Kim Haok, "Manager Kim, have you found out if the East Asia Association's representative has arrived?"

Jin Haoke shook his head: "This is exactly the same as Mr. Jin's guess...they dare not make a move..."

During the casual conversation, it quickly became clear that there was less than an hour left before the start of the match.

Kimberly urged Kim Hulk, who was waiting outside for news, to rush over.

"This is terrible... Mr. Jin, your guess was absolutely right, they really did resort to underhanded tactics... They're inhuman! They're utterly disgusting!"
