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

Targaryen Isa smiled triumphantly, "Thank you, Agent..."

John Jonard addressed the representatives present, saying, "We'll split the difference equally."

The group naturally expressed that they had no objections...

"Alright, Agent, whatever you say, we'll do as you say."

Then, these people said to William, "However, Prince William, please use your brains when you bid. Don't think that just because it's our money, you don't value it..."

William Cam, though somewhat displeased, nodded: "Yes... please rest assured... we won't do anything reckless."

John Jonard chimed in, "Alright, in that case, go and get ready."

William Cam gave an awkward smile, then looked at John Jonard and stammered.

Seeing William Cam's hesitant manner, John Jonard said to William Cam, "Prince William, just say what you have to say... We can speak frankly here... There's no need for us to beat around the bush."

William Cam listened with a smile, nodding repeatedly: "Agent, you're right...that's exactly how it is...then I'll get straight to the point."

John Jonard nodded.

William Cam awkwardly rubbed his hands together: "So, even though you've made a promise, I think it's better to have a written agreement..."

The representatives of the families standing to the side had slightly gloomy expressions: "What do you mean? Do you think we would renege on our promises?"

"You underestimate us... What do you mean by our family's honor...?"

“Indeed, Prince William, you should know that a verbal promise is still a promise.”

These people kept talking, but Prince William just smiled faintly, showing no sign of backing down.

Although John Jonard was uncomfortable, he still wanted to maintain the overall situation.

So John Jonard said to William Cam, "William Cam, we understand your concerns... You're right, have someone draft the agreement."

William Cam naturally sensed the displeasure in John Jonard's words...

However, William Cam knew from the significant drop in odds that they were being manipulated.

But he was used, and he was willing to accept it...

He'd accept not making a single penny. However, even if he doesn't make money, he can't afford to lose money.

William Cam was thinking that this was the bottom line.

So, after a draft agreement was quickly prepared, everyone signed it.

Then the staff came over again to urge William Cam.

William Cam and Targaryen Isa then left.

After they left.

Soon, representatives from some of the twelve families approached John Jonard and said, "Sir, who is that William Cam? He dares to negotiate with you and even force you to sign an agreement..."

"Yeah, he really can't tell right from wrong. If it weren't for us, he might have lost this time... Listening to him, it's like we took advantage of him..."

These people said indignantly.

John Jonard said, "It's alright, it's harmless... as long as we know what kind of person he is... this scene shows he's not very capable... after all, we've invested so much money, if we let him quit for such a small gain... then it would be a huge loss..."

The group nodded in agreement.

...

Just as William Cam and Targaryen Isa left, they heard the cursing and accusations coming from inside.

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

“Your Highness, I didn’t expect you to dare say that…” Targaryen Isa said.

William Cam said, "Isa, you're not bad either. Your suggestion is excellent... But aren't you afraid of offending them?"

Targaryen Isa shook her head and said, "What's so special about that? Among the twelve houses, there are several members of our British Empire..."

After listening to Targaryen Isa's words, William Cam nodded, "Yes, why haven't we seen those families..."

Targaryen Isa said, "They obviously heard about our affair with Boudica, and they clearly don't want to get involved... After all, these families in the British Empire have always been opportunists, playing both sides. They don't offend anyone, so whoever is in power won't affect them... So, that's how things are."

"Just you wait and see, they might be placing bets secretly..."

William Cam nodded: "To be honest, I have a feeling that I've been cheated."

Targaryen Isabella looked at William Cam with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"

William Cam said, "Without the Illuminati joining, our odds would have been enough to make me a fortune. After those Illuminati agents joined, they gave us a bunch of intimidation, pretending to help us by creating a new system... Do you think it's possible that this system was originally something they wanted to promote, and now they're trying to shift the blame onto us?"

"Anyway, they're the ones making money. Our gladiators were capable of winning anyway, weren't they?"

Targaryen Isa, listening to William Cam's words, seemed to have an epiphany.

You know, all of this wasn't easy...

After listening to William Cam's words, Targaryen Isa continued, "Prince William, things are already like this, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore... Just beat Boudica now..."

William Cam nodded menacingly, "That's right. That bitch Boudica, if it weren't for her, none of this trouble would have happened... Once we win, I'm going to thoroughly humiliate her..."

...

At this moment, on one side of the arena.

Boudica and Xiao Ce, Da Lei and Ye Mao, and the third Shadow Guard.

They were all waiting here.

Da Lei wanted to try again.

Shadow Guard No. 3 remained silent, after all, in terms of seniority.

Da Lei can be considered the ancestor of Shadow Guard No. 3.

Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Alright, Da Lei, since we've already sent Number Three, just keep your strength to yourself... There will be plenty of experts in the future."

After Xiao Ce said this, it meant that he had made up his mind.

At that moment, Da Lei remained silent and obediently shut up.

Then Xiao Ce said to Shadow Guard Number Three, "Number Three, it's very likely that you'll be fighting that gladiator without any protective gear or weapons... and you might only have three minutes to dodge. Do you understand this condition?"

The shadow guard nodded: "That's right, I understand. Originally, we were going to send number four... but after hearing about this rule, we got myself to participate. My strengths are hand-to-hand combat and agility... I can handle three minutes, even half an hour, without a problem... Your Majesty..."

The shadow guard almost blurted out "Your Highness," but then shut up at the crucial moment.

"My lord, just watch. I have no chance of losing..."

If the opposing gladiator is someone who has no news, they will definitely be careful after hearing this.

However, this gladiator has already fought many battles, and he can win against any ordinary person.

The third shadow guard spoke with absolute certainty, his face radiating confidence.

Xiao Ce was initially a little worried, but seeing the confidence of Number Three, they had no further objections...

Just then, Xiao Ce said to Number Three, "Okay...be careful!"

Just then, a commotion broke out in the room, and then a host began to speak fluently and passionately.

Then, the two arena initiators and initiators were invited to enter the arena.

Prince William originally wanted to go on stage, but Targaryen Isabella saw that Boudica was preparing to go on stage.

So Targaryen Isabella discussed it with Prince William and decided that she would go up.

William Cam naturally had no objections.

The host, however, was quite adept at stirring things up.

"This is a gladiatorial contest within the Targaryen family! Let's first invite the initiator of the contest, Princess William, daughter of the head of the Targaryen family, to the stage."

The room quickly erupted in cheers.

Targaryen Isa appeared remarkably calm about the situation, as if she were already used to it.

When the host introduced Boudica, the tone was less friendly, and the implication was very clear.

"Next, we welcome the self-proclaimed Targaryen Boudica, who has been missing for over ten years and claims to be the legitimate daughter of the Targaryens and the rightful heir to the Targaryen line!"

A self-proclaimed title, a legal heir—these few words hint that Boudica might be an imposter.

Sure enough, there wasn't a particularly loud cheer when Boudica came on.

At this moment, Targaryen Isa looked at Boudica as she approached: "Boudica, whether you're real or fake... this time, I'll tell you. This place no longer belongs to you..."

Boudica chuckled dismissively, turning to Targaryen Isa: "Isa, look at yourself now! What has fear turned you into? Let me tell you, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger... My return is destined to be the beginning of your nightmare!"

"I had intended to let you have a few more days of peace, but since you've chosen to court death... then rest assured, I will grant you your heart's desire... From this day forward, at this very moment... every day from now on, I will make sure you live in fear and endless suffering..."

"I will make you lose everything... until you have nothing left to lose, then I will come to take your life..."

When Targaryen Boudica said this, he exuded confidence, determination, and power.

Targaryen Isa, however, remained unfazed, saying, "Hahaha...what a ridiculous joke. Fine...I'll wait and see...I suggest you wake up and stop daydreaming..."

...

When both sides were exchanging harsh words.

The host continued, "You may not have heard clearly, but both sides are making bold statements... Please look forward to an exceptionally exciting match."

"Furthermore, as you've all noticed, this time our arena has developed a new fighting style... more exciting and fairer. In order to thoroughly implement the principle of money above all else in our city of Lingas... we have introduced three bidding items."

"The first is to prohibit the other side from using weapons."

"The second rule is to prohibit the other side from using protective gear."

"The last rule is that you can't attack for the first three minutes, you can only defend. You can only start attacking after the referee's gong sounds."

"Each round of bidding requires direct payment, which will be verified by United Savings Bank staff... The money of unsuccessful bidders will not be refunded, so please bid carefully."

"Let's not waste any more time, you two, prepare for the bidding..."

The rules had already been explained in advance, and soon a staff member from a joint savings bank arrived.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Boudica couldn't help but sigh, "What a small world this is..."

Because the person who came to conduct the appraisal was none other than John, who had previously handled their financial matters.

However, John did not show any sign that he knew Boudica at this moment.

Instead, he took the position of host and identified himself.

The host began, "Very good. Next, for the first right in our bidding, the winner can have the other party refrain from using weapons. The starting price is 100,000 Sols. The highest bidder wins. If no one bids, this right is automatically forfeited."

"You can raise your bid within ten seconds of me announcing the price! Since your bids will be included in the final outcome, and the money paid will not be refunded regardless of who wins the rights, please think carefully."

The host reminded them again.

After giving the reminder, the host stopped wasting time and announced the start of the event.

Targaryen Issa was the first to act, seizing the initiative: "100,000 Thor."

Boudica had initially wanted them to contribute more money, but after discussing it, the two decided that there was no need to spend more in this area...

In the end, it was the gladiatorial arena that benefited.

Therefore, Boudica never called for a price.

As the host announced the deal, it was still 100,000 soles.

Seeing this, Targaryen Isa couldn't help but sneer, "I've heard you've already gone all in and won? Now you don't even have 100,000 Thors left?"

Boudica ignored his provocation...
