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

Meanwhile, in the city lord's management office and the police station.

At this moment, William Cam and Targaryen Isabella sat silently in an interrogation room.

They thought everything was over, but as soon as they stepped out of the arena, they were taken away by the police.

Moreover, they only believed what Xiao Ce and his group said after hearing the information from the police chiefs in these police stations.

Those damned members of the Illuminati are really framing them.

One of the sheriffs in charge of the interrogation spoke up: "Don't think that just because you won't talk, we can't do anything! We already have the testimonies of four gunmen, and the checks you gave him..."

William Cam said to the sheriff in front of him, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. I've already said it, we've been framed. I know nothing about the gunman or the checks."

Targaryen Isa said, "And Sheriff, we need you to inform our families... Do you know who we are?"

The sheriff said to the two men, "Stop talking nonsense. I arrested you, so I know who you are."

"But put away your own ways. What works for others won't work here. And you need to know your place. Even if you were a king, it wouldn't matter here. When you entered Lingas City, you were just citizens of Lingas! You have no special privileges here."

Upon seeing this, William Cam said, "We've already said it! We know nothing. This is a frame-up by someone with ulterior motives. You said we are citizens, and you can't accuse me just because someone else framed me!"

The sheriff realized that after talking to them for so long, it was all just empty talk.

"So, you deny all the accusations against you, is that right?"

William Cam and Targaryen Issa both nodded.

The sheriff nodded: "Alright, then, as suspects in this case, according to the Lingas City Ordinance, you need to be taken into custody!"

William Cam frowned slightly upon seeing this: "On what grounds? We are innocent!"

The sheriff said to William Cam, "Whether you are guilty or not is not up to you or me to decide, but we now have the right to take you into custody."

William Cam said with a grim expression, "If I reveal the real culprit, will you release us?"

After listening to William Cam's words, the sheriff nodded: "Of course, if what you're saying is the real culprit..."

It looked like William Cam was about to implicate John Jonard.

Targaryen Isa stated, "We demand that we be locked up together."

William Cam understood after Targaryen Isa interrupted him.

“Yes, we request to be locked up together.”

This sheriff had seen it all, so he naturally knew they were about to recant their testimonies.

"Didn't you say you'd reveal the real culprit?"

William Cam said nervously, "You said you wanted the real culprit, and all I know is who might be. Since that's the case, I won't say. You can investigate yourselves. Now, I demand that we be locked up together..."

The sheriff said, "Sure, if we want to lock them up together, we do offer that service. You'll need to purchase a private cell, but that costs one million soles per night."

William Cam glared at him and said, "Are you robbing me? Do you even know how much your best suite at the Lingas Hotel costs per night?"

The sheriff smiled faintly and then said, "You can stay over there. Our prices are also clearly marked, so you can choose not to stay here."

William Cam rolled his eyes at the sheriff after hearing his words.

But there's no way to change things now that we're here.

Actually, this is a unique feature of Lingas City.

Fortunately, Xiao Ce was paying for their accommodation, so they were able to stay for the time being.

They didn't bother with any nonsense, signed some documents, paid the money, and went to stay.

The so-called "private detention cell" was actually just a large bed and a small room.

There's also a price list on this wall, which is a unique feature of Lingas City.

The sign listed all sorts of goods, but the prices were outrageous.

After settling them in, the sheriff said, "You can still confess at any time. Confessing will be considered turning yourself in. Once we have a complete chain of evidence, you will be severely punished..."

William Cam and Targaryen Isa exchanged glances before turning to the sheriff and saying, "We know nothing and did nothing."

Seeing that the two were still being stubborn, the sheriff stopped talking nonsense.

"Very good, then I wish you a pleasant stay here."

After they left.

William Cam asked Targaryen Isa, "Isa, why didn't you let me tell John Jonard and the others? They betrayed us!"

Targaryen Isa said to William Cam, "Don't be hasty, Your Highness. You haven't been bribed by them with some money, have you? Boudica and the others have caused us to lose nearly 10 billion."

"You just talked about cooperation, but you didn't actually say anything else. Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"

When Targaryen Isa first started in the arena, the successive blows left him somewhat dazed.

So they didn't react to their actions for a while.

However, a long time had passed since then, and she gradually calmed down.

William Cam naturally knew this and quickly said to Targaryen Isa, "Isa, you're right, but those gunmen were clearly sent by John Jonard and his men. This will allow those gunmen to identify us. Not only that, they even prepared our checks. This is clearly a scam against us."

"That Boudica only caused us to lose some money, but that bastard John Jonard, they want our lives!"

Targaryen Isa nodded: “That’s true, but we need to stay calm… This is their territory, and it won’t do us any good if we go straight for John Jonard. Let’s wait and see.”

"Look what Boudica and the others are doing? Didn't they promise us they would rescue us?"

“If Boudica and the others really are here to rescue us, there’s no need for us to confront John Jonard and his group… let Boudica and the others do it.”

William Cam nodded: "Yes, you're right."

William Cam paused for a moment before continuing, "If Boudica really comes to help us, will we really become friends with them instead of enemies?"

Targaryen Isa said with a ruthless look, "Of course not, and never. I would never keep a dog around that could bite me at any moment. I'll lure her away from here and then kill her."

"However, if we can use her now, let's take advantage of it. At least she has a lot of money..."

William Cam listened, smiling and nodding.

So you mean we should do nothing and just watch them fight like dogs?

Targaryen Isa nodded: "That's right! You see, we also have the agreement signed between us and John Jonard and his group, which serves as evidence that we're in their group..."

William Cam nodded: "That's right, but will this thing even work?"

Targaryen Isa shook her head: "I don't know... but we don't need to rush. Even if we are convicted, it will take a long time..."

“With things escalating like this, the British Empire must know about it. Neither my mother nor your father will allow us to remain imprisoned here…”

As they spoke, both of them nodded.

...

The next day, after Boudica and the others woke up, Kimberly once again invited them to breakfast.

Da Lei and Ye Mao laughed and said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, I have no doubt now that Kimberly is of Xiao Kingdom blood. I even suspect that you two might be related..."

Xiao Ce was beginning to have some doubts about the idea of ​​having breakfast together.

Xiao Ce and Boudica did not refuse; Kimberly would not invite someone without a reason.

We arrived at one of the restaurants on the second floor of the Gas Hotel.

Kimberly said, "I hope I didn't disturb you this time."

Xiao Ce said with a smile, "Of course not, Mr. Jin. You've always been the one to invite us, and we've never invited you... Tomorrow, I'll invite you tomorrow. You've already done us such a big favor."

Kimberly chuckled and said, "Haha, Mr. Ce, we're friends, no need for formalities. Actually, there's something I need to tell you..."

Xiao Ce spoke with a curious expression.

Kimberly didn't continue speaking, but first invited Xiao Ce and Boudica to sit down.

After everyone was seated, Kimberly encouraged them to eat and talk.

Even Da Lei and Ye Mao were invited to sit together.

Kimberly, noticing the undisguised amusement on Big Thunder's and Night Owl's faces as they sat down, asked with a hint of confusion, "Do these two gentlemen have some kind of problem?"

Kimberly was impressed by the strength of Shadow Guard No. 3, who had never shown his face before, and also recalled Xiao Ce's higher evaluation of Da Lei and Night Cat.

He began to suspect that this Da Lei and Ye Mao might be just as powerful as the gladiator that Yin Pan'er sent out.

Kimberly, anyway, thought it was very likely, since they were both East Asians.

Yesterday's duel was a spectacle for laymen, but a demonstration of skill for experts.

Kimberly had figured out quite a few things.

It appeared to be a chase, but Shadow Guard Number Three didn't even use half of his strength.

Kimberly has always respected the strong.

Da Lei and Ye Mao waved their hands and said, "It's alright, it's alright, Mr. Jin, we just think you and Mr. Ce look very similar."

A hint of doubt appeared in Kimberly's eyes.

Xiao Ce then mentioned to Kimberly that he also had a habit of using meals to build relationships and discuss matters.

“They looked at our lifestyle and saw that we were all East Asians, so they suspected that we might not be related.”

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly finally burst out laughing: "Haha, that's for sure..."

After exchanging a few jokes, the topic drifted off course.

Xiao Ce then said to Kimberly, "Mr. Kimberly, you just said you wanted to talk to us about something."

Kimberly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, we've gone off on a tangent, let's get back to the main topic."

“A sheriff friend of mine from the police station just told me that William Cam and Targaryen Isa didn’t admit to anything after they came to the station. They didn’t even do what you’re guessing, like trying to implicate John Jonard.”

"Furthermore, John Jonard, the representative of the President of the Western Illuminati, has already requested to meet with them. If they meet, won't your secrets be exposed? So, I was thinking of asking you if you want to meet with him beforehand."

"Because I had a relationship with the sheriff before this, I took the liberty of arranging a meeting with them before they did. Of course, you don't have to go... it won't have any impact. However, I feel that if you go, even if you don't say anything, it will only deepen the suspicion between them."

"The reason I did this is because I heard that those agents and family representatives still seem to have some doubts. Apparently, John Jonard wanted to question them today about whether they had allied with you to harm them, and he wanted them to implicate the East Asia Association president and his associates..."

After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce said, "Alright, Mr. Kim, you're right. Sure, when? It wouldn't hurt to go there later... to stir the water up a bit more."

Then Boudica asked, "By the way, Mr. Kim, what... what's the reaction from the East Asian association president? They've been acting very strangely in this matter."

Kimberly nodded: "That's right. Actually, it's not just you who's curious. Everyone in Lingas City has been talking about what their Western president's representative did this time. If the East Asian president wanted to seize this opportunity to attack them, they could have had plenty of chances, but they didn't... Everyone thinks that's unusual."

Xiao Ce smiled faintly and said, "What they're doing isn't unusual; it's called being clever. In fact, those accusations won't harm the other party's core interests. If they were to jump out, they'd easily be bitten back, which would be a loss for them. So, from the beginning, they didn't intend to get involved in this matter, and they will definitely see it through to the end... There's a master among the East Asia Association members!"

Xiao Ce said this, but in his heart he was thinking of Yin Pan'er. He wondered if it was her doing!

Kimberly's eyes lit up as he listened to Xiao Ce's analysis from this perspective.

They definitely hadn't considered this angle...
