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

At this moment, in John Jonard's private room, the four of them were very enthusiastic.

They saw it all.

"Yes...we've all been played...that wretched William Cam, they tricked us like this..."

"My lord, why do you think he did this?"

"Is it just to scam us out of some money?"

John Jonard said grimly, "Gentlemen, they're not just after our money... they're probably acting on the orders of Victor King, the East Asia Association..."

Upon hearing John Jonard's words, the group suddenly realized, "That's right... no wonder. Such a big matter, whether it's Victor King or that agent Yin Pan'er..."

"Not bad, not bad. Weren't those gladiators Boudica and his group using East Asians...? That gladiator definitely belongs to Yin Pan'er's group..."

These people thought and thought, and suddenly they understood everything!

After they figured it out, they all started asking each other questions.

"My lord, what do you think we should do next?"

After hearing this, these people thought about it together.

"Agent, if this is a trap they've set, what should we do?"

"We can't just accept this situation..."

John Jonard said, "First, keep an eye on William Cam and that Targaryen Isa, and see what they're up to. Then we'll go with each family to report... Do you know what to say?"

These individual representatives, all shrewd individuals, nodded repeatedly, saying, "I know...I know...Of course I know..."

"It was William Cam and Targaryen Isa who teamed up with Boudica to deliberately set us up. It was probably orchestrated by the chairman of the East Asia Association."

"That's right, it was Victor King from East Asia who deliberately tried to trick us..."

The representatives started talking, one after another.

John Jonard said, "What, do you have any evidence?"

After hearing John Jonard's words, they froze, then said, "There's no evidence... Agent, so you mean..."

John Jonard addressed the crowd, saying, "Since there's no evidence, there's no need for us to speak... If we do, it will seem like we're shirking responsibility... Let's just state the facts objectively..."

"Once you've said it, leave the rest to our superiors. Do you think they know the situation better than we do? Who ordered this isn't for us to decide..."

After hearing John Jonard's words, everyone gave him a thumbs up.

He then said to John Jonard, "Agent, you're right...you're right...let's go back first."

...

After Xiao Ce and Boudica left, they went straight back to the Gas Hotel to rest.

As it turns out, Xiao Ce was overthinking things.

They arrived safely.

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, it seems our worries were unnecessary."

Xiao Ce smiled slightly at Boudica: "The main problem is that there are two factions inside; otherwise, they would have tormented us to death..."

Boudica nodded: "So, Tse, there won't be any trouble in the future, right?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Boudica and said, "Don't worry, it won't do us any harm, it'll actually benefit us... This time, we should make a considerable profit..."

No sooner had Xiao Ce finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Ce then said to Boudica, "See? They've arrived..."

Ryan had just opened the door when Kimberly came in personally.

Kimberly had a smile on his face at that moment.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ce quickly got up to greet him, and this time he was also grateful for Kimberly's help.

Otherwise, the four gunmen would attack Shadow Guard Number Three together.

Even if Shadow Guard No. 3 is incredibly powerful, he probably won't be able to withstand it.

"Mr. Jin, you're back. Please come in...please come in...I'm so sorry, we were in such a hurry that we didn't tell you. I was afraid they'd be shameless and kill us if they lost too much."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he walked to the door and invited Kimberly in.

After this incident, Kimberly and Xiao Ce were truly on a closer level.

Moreover, he discovered that this Xiao Ce was smarter than anyone he had ever met.

So Kimberly didn't stand on ceremony and went straight in.

After Kimberly entered, he said directly to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, your vigilance is justified. However, there's no need to be so tense. The reason why Lingas City can attract so many wealthy people is because it has its own operating rules. Although the Illuminati controls this area, its members must abide by the rules of Lingas City."

"Although it is despicable for them to add rules on the spot today, it is still in accordance with the rules. Moreover, the rules they made are in line with the rules of Lingas City in some way, and judging from the results, these rules may have become a factor that hinders them instead."

"As for those gunmen they secretly sent out, this has already crossed Lingas's bottom line. This matter is very serious. Although those people are suicide soldiers, there is a city lord's management council in Lingas City, and they will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"After all, the reason why Lingas City has become a holy land for the wealthy in the West is because it is safe... safe enough that even two mortal enemies cannot settle their hatred in private; they can only settle it in the arena. Therefore, if this matter is not handled properly, once trust begins to collapse, everyone will stay away from here... and then, the prosperity here will cease to exist."

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "Are those assassins still insisting it was William Cam?"

Boudica said with a smile, "Tse, it seems they're going to be in trouble without us even having to lift a finger."

After listening to the two men's conversation, Kimberly said with a smile, "That's right, the assassins are adamant that it was William Cam and his men who did it, and they've prepared the entire chain of evidence. The money they received was all paid by checks from William Cam and his men... So, if they can't prove their innocence this time, they're in for trouble!"

Xiao Ce, standing to the side, asked, "Where are William Cam and the others now...?"

Kimberly said, "They've already been taken away by the Lingas City Authority..."

Kimberly then said with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Ce, how did you manage to get them to hug and shake hands with you in the end...?"

Xiao Ce then smiled and recounted their plan to persuade them to cooperate...

After listening, Kimberly gave Xiao Ce a thumbs up: "Mr. Ce, your plan is absolutely brilliant... Now the whole city is saying that William Cam teamed up with you to deceive the representative of the Illuminati and some representatives of the twelve families..."

Boudica said with some concern, "Mr. Kim, we won't be implicated, will we?"

Kimberly nodded: "Don't worry, you have absolutely no connection with them... We'll be fine. It's that William Cam who's the real problem."

Kimberly then said, "However, Mr. Ce, the money you just gave him might be a hidden danger."

Boudica looked puzzled after hearing Kimberly's words, and then said, "Hidden danger? What hidden danger?"

Before Kimberly could speak, Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Mr. Kimberly is afraid they might suddenly turn around and bite us, is that right?"

Kimberly nodded.

Xiao Ce said, "Mr. Jin, don't worry. I considered this issue when I gave him the money... We already had a reason for it. We said that the money was a gesture of goodwill, indicating that we just wanted to do business here and didn't want to offend too many people..."

Kimberly blurted out, "Mr. Ce, I'm afraid it's hard for others to believe this..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly and said, "Mr. Ce, I don't care whether they believe it or not. This is my explanation."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce's face hardened slightly, and he said, "Mr. Jin, if they want to reason with me, I naturally have ways to reason with them. Of course, if they don't want to reason, I naturally have ways to be unreasonable."

Kimberly looked at Xiao Ce with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Alright, Mr. Ce, you're right... Don't worry, now that we're friends, I, Kimberly, will definitely not stand idly by."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing Kimberly's words: "Mr. Kimberly, the people I've offended include members of the British Imperial Family, and even people from the Illuminati..."

Kimberly chuckled and said, “So what? Here, they have absolute power. To be honest, I wouldn’t dare help you… But this isn’t a place where the Western Illuminati representatives can control everything. This time, the East Asian Illuminati representatives won’t stand idly by either… So, even if I help you, it will be with reason and evidence; I won’t be fighting alone…”

After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce smiled with satisfaction.

After all, if Kimberly were the kind of person who blindly helped him, then frankly, Xiao Ce needed someone like that.

However, Kimberly is the kind of person who weighs the pros and cons before deciding to help, and Xiao Ce needs such a rational person even more.

Before Xiao Ce could respond, Kimberly spoke up, "By the way, Mr. Ce, we've gone off on a tangent. We almost forgot about the important matter..."

As he spoke, Kimberly produced a check.

"Mr. Ce, this is your profit, including principal and interest, totaling 738 billion Sols. Of these, 438 billion Sols were converted based on the odds, and 300 billion Sols is your principal."

Xiao Ce glanced at the check, then waved his hand and said, "That's not right. This portion of the profits should be given to the wealthy businessmen who came to help, according to our agreement."

Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, that's what we said at the beginning. But after this incident, everyone felt that we shouldn't accept the money... Originally, everyone thought it was a gamble with no suspense or risk, so they were willing to accept the money if they were allowed to participate."

"However, now that they've witnessed the risk firsthand, they feel they can't accept the money! Besides, they said their biggest gain this time was making you a friend. If they accept the money, that friendship won't be pure..."

"Actually, I think what they said is quite right, and it's clear that favors are more valuable than money. They obviously want a favor from you... Of course, Mr. Ce, if you don't want to owe them a favor, I'll help you pay them the money proportionally later..."

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Kimberly continued, "Of course, I definitely don't want my money... How about I make you owe me a favor?"

Kimberly's statement was actually quite satisfactory and did not make anyone uncomfortable.

When Xiao Ce heard Kimberly say this, he smiled and nodded repeatedly. In fact, human relationships become closer through mutual exchanges.

Xiao Ce naturally understood this principle: "Mr. Jin, alright, since everyone has put in such a good intention, I won't refuse. Tell those gentlemen that I'll treat them to dinner separately another day. Also, I need partners for what I'm going to do in the future..."

"If everyone's interested, then let's make money together..."

After this incident, Xiao Ce discovered that his progress here was much faster than he had imagined.

Now that everything is almost done, his luxury goods promotion needs to proceed...

But relying on him alone would be too slow.

He had met all the partners that Kimberly had found for him this time.

As expected of those handpicked by Kimberly, these people are all pretty good...

Seeing that Xiao Ce answered so readily and without any hesitation, Kimberly smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Ce, I will definitely pass on the message. You should get some rest first."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Haha, not bad, it is indeed quite tiring... However, many people are probably not going to be able to sleep tonight."

Kimberly chuckled and said, "That's right, Mr. Ce. You can sleep soundly. I'll report any other sounds coming from Lingas City to you immediately!"

Xiao Ce nodded and then said, "By the way, how much money did those agents lose? Mr. Jin, do you know?"

Kimberly nodded: "I've heard a little about it, it's probably over a hundred billion soles."

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's about it, and there should be quite a few people betting. They shouldn't be so angry, after all, they are all prominent figures in the West?"
