Boudica then said to Kimberly, "By the way, Mr. Kimberly, won't what we're doing provoke them... After all, they are the members of the Illuminati. If they really want to do something to us on their turf, we're afraid it will be difficult to deal with them. As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake."

Kimberly smiled and said, "It's alright. Actually, if it were before, if I had known that the Western president's representative had gotten involved in this matter, I would have definitely advised you to let it go. But times have changed. As you know, the East Asian president and the others have arrived... It's not their decision-making power anymore."

"Everyone's watching this matter. Besides, they currently only think that you were instigated by their East Asia Association president... and they don't take you seriously at all... at least not for now."

As he spoke, Kimberly looked firmly at Xiao Ce and Boudica and said, "Furthermore, since Mr. Ce and Ms. Boudica have gotten involved in this matter, I will definitely see it through to the end... I can't speak for other places, but I still have some connections in Lingas City!"

"I wouldn't dare to boast, but saving your life is absolutely no problem."

Xiao Ce cupped his hands to Kimberly and said, "Mr. Kimberly, with your words, we have no more worries..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at Kimberly with some concern.

Kimberly looked at Xiao Ce and asked with a puzzled expression, "Mr. Ce, what's wrong?"

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "Mr. Kimberly, I'm just a little confused. Why are you helping us so much? Besides our initial attraction?"

Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "Of course, there are also interests involved. I actually see that changes are about to occur within the West, and if we want to remain undefeated in this change, we need to learn to choose sides!"

Hearing Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce was somewhat puzzled and wary. He said to Kimberly half-jokingly, "Mr. Kimberly, you're making it sound like I'm a troublemaker in your Western world."

Xiao Ce was still very guilty when he said this, because he really did come here to cause trouble.

Kimberly smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Of course not... However, in fact, I have witnessed the changes in the West to get to where I am today, and many of these changes are actually quite small."

"The current upheaval is precisely because of the complete collapse of the East Asian front. Two tigers cannot share one mountain... Their conflicts were already quite serious before, but they were still able to protect their own interests... Once their interests can no longer be met, war will break out. This is quite normal. And we, of course, cannot sit at the table and play the game with them, but being able to stand in the right position is very important."

Listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce realized that this man was intelligent.

"So, this time, you're optimistic about the East Asia Association president?"

Kimberly smiled and shook his head: "Of course not... If I thought highly of the East Asia Chairman, I would have supported him long ago, and there would be no need to wait until now..."

Xiao Ce was even more confused by Kimberly's words.

"Mr. Jin, now that you put it that way, I understand even less... So what are you...?"

Kimberly smiled broadly, then said to Xiao Ce, "Is it hard to understand? Actually, the person I have my eye on is you..."

After hearing Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce asked in confusion, "Me?"

Kimberly smiled and said, "That's right! It's you..."

Xiao Ce was putting on an act, but in his heart he was praising Kimberly's good eye.

Xiao Ce said, "Mr. Jin, you really flatter me..."

Kimberly remained silent with a smile, and the two continued talking and laughing.

At this moment, Jin Hulk walked to the door with a bright smile and knocked on it.

Jin Hulk must have made a lot of money this time, even though Kimberly returned Xiao Ce's share.

However, Jin Haoke was quite bold, mortgaging all his assets and some of his residences.

This also doubled his net worth instantly, and not only that, he also shared the same views as Kimberly.

That meant Xiao Ce owed someone a favor...

After the incident at the arena, Jin Hulk finally understood Xiao Ce's prowess, and Kimberly's judgment of character was indeed accurate...

Jin Haoke had just knocked on the door.

Kimberly, understanding the unspoken message, said to Hulk, "Hulk, is it time...?"

Jin Haoke nodded: "That's right, Mr. Jin. It's almost time. We've already sent out the carriage."

Kimberly then looked at Xiao Ce and Boudica.

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "Mr. Kimberly, I've almost finished eating...we can probably head out now..."

Kimberly nodded: "Okay, Mr. Ce, Hulk has already sent people to follow... so I won't show up."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jin."

Kimberly smiled and said, "Mr. Ce, you're too kind. Don't worry. Although I don't show my face, I'm keeping an eye on everything..."

Xiao Ce nodded with a smile.

Then, led by Jin Haoke, they went outside.

When Xiao Ce followed Jin Haoke out, he saw Jin Haoke's respectful demeanor.

"Manager Jin, Mr. Jin has returned the money I promised you. Was this your decision, or Mr. Jin's?"

Xiao Ce learned of this matter and felt that it was necessary to bring it up.

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Jin Haoke smiled and said, "Mr. Ce, actually, I really didn't expect this. This is everyone's idea, and I think it makes sense... If I could become a friend of Mr. Ce and Ms. Boudica, I would be willing to give up everything I own, let alone this money..."

Xiao Ce was quite satisfied after hearing Jin Haoke's words.

He spoke very sincerely, and there was no sense of falsehood in his words.

"That's a lot of money! Are you really willing to give it up? Actually, even if you accept it, I'll still consider you a friend."

Jin Haoke waved his hand: "Mr. Ce, I'm not afraid to admit it, but I do like money... However, as you said, when is there ever enough money? Enough to eat and drink, and everything else is driven by desire... There are many things in this world that are more important than money... Besides, that money is yours to begin with, and you're the one who bears the risks... We have no reason to take it..."

As he spoke, Jin Haoke chuckled and rubbed his hands together. Then he said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, you are all so rich, you must have many ways to make money. As long as you bring your underlings along, I'm afraid I'll have more money than I can spend."

Listening to Jin Haoke's well-reasoned explanation, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, "Okay... if you're willing to trust me, I can take you with me. However, I can't guarantee a profit!"

Jin Haoke smiled and nodded: "That's for sure...that's for sure..."

Amidst laughter and conversation, Jin Haoke saw Xiao Ce and Boudica off onto the carriage. Jin Haoke, having other work to do, didn't follow.

Once in the carriage, Boudica asked Xiao Ce what to say when they arrived at the police station.

Xiao Ce smiled slightly and said to Boudica, "You don't need to go later."

Boudica nodded, though slightly puzzled.

“Our main task is to mislead them and make those members of the Illuminati suspicious. If we all go together, it would seem a bit too deliberate. If you don't show up, it will make them feel mysterious. Mainly, I also want to leave a hook for that John Jonard.”

Although Boudica didn't quite understand Xiao Ce's thoughts, she was very clear that Xiao Ce definitely had his own ideas.

All she had to do was follow the instructions.

Actually, this police station is similar to the police station in Xiao Kingdom, except that it incorporates a prison.

He is one.

The carriage drove directly to the deepest part of Lingas City, to a secluded corner.

Xiao Ce then saw the police station.

The size of this police station exceeded Xiao Ce's expectations; since it was integrated with the prison, it also had a guard team.

Therefore, the area occupied by this police station is almost the size of a standard castle.

Xiao Ce had never been here before.

This was quite an eye-opener. One of the drivers was one of Kimberly's men.

They stopped the carriage at the main entrance of the police station and then asked them to get out.

After they got off, Ryan took the initiative to park the carriage in the stable next to them.

Boudica didn't come down; Xiao Ce had Da Lei accompany her.

The night owl followed him and caught up with the servant.

The attendant then led them into the police station.

The attendant, familiar with the place, led them to the police station, which was quite large.

There are many people being held inside, and there are many police officers in uniform here.

To be honest, Xiao Ce hadn't actually seen a sheriff in Lingas, but he had seen quite a few patrolling guards.

They entered the police station and waited in a large hall.

A short while later, a sheriff with blond hair and blue eyes, and a typical British Empire appearance, appeared.

He nodded upon seeing the attendant.

He then glanced nervously at the group of people before finally fixing his gaze on Xiao Ce.

"Didn't your Lady Boudica come?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "I am Ce, Ms. Boudica's authorized representative, is that alright?"

The blond, blue-eyed sheriff extended his hand: "Hello, my name is Aaron, and you must be Mr. Ce. Sure! Of course..."

This Sheriff Elon was clearly a Kimberly connection, because after learning about Xiao Ce, the sheriff treated him very well.

"Sheriff Elon, thank you for your trouble," Xiao Ce said with a slight smile.

Sheriff Elon smiled and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, you're too kind. It's my duty. However, you should be prepared. Those two are really stubborn and won't say anything."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

Sheriff Elon said, and then led the way.

They were taken to an interrogation room, where Sheriff Elon said, "You have absolute privacy here, and we will not be listening in. Of course, if you have any questions, you can press this bell! We will come immediately."

Xiao Ce nodded.

Sheriff Elon continued to tell Xiao Ce that he would bring William Cam and Targaryen Isa over later.

After bringing them over, they had a half-hour meeting time.

After saying that, Sheriff Elon left without another word.

After watching Sheriff Elon leave.

Xiao Ce glanced at Night Cat.

Night Cat looked around and said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, there is indeed no one hiding here... it should be safe, no one is eavesdropping."

Xiao Ce smiled at the night owl and said, "They're quite particular about these privacy matters..."

Night Owl glanced at himself, then said, "Sir, isn't this a case of neglecting what should be respected and being overly particular about what shouldn't be respected? Isn't this supposed to protect the privacy of prisoners? Doesn't this kind of place just give them the opportunity to collude?"

"In my opinion, these Westerners are actually no different from the people of our former Fusang country..."

As he spoke, Night Owl's eyes darted around a few times before he said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, it's what you said before... what was that saying again... being concerned with trivial matters... and... and... lacking in righteousness... In short, it all boils down to two words: hypocrisy!"

After hearing what Night Cat said, Xiao Ce laughed out loud, gave Night Cat a thumbs up, and said, "Haha, I'll give you two words too."

Night Cat looked at Xiao Ce with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Clear and transparent..."

...

At this moment, William Cam and Targaryen Isa were both in despair, even on the verge of collapse.

Although the two of them were locked in one room.

Moreover, although the room looks quite clean, it has no windows and the only lighting comes from a few kerosene lamps.

Here, the amount of kerosene lamp oil is rationed every day, and you have to buy more when it runs out, not to mention that the price is extremely expensive.

It's expensive, fine, but under this dim, yellowish light...

There's always a lapse in judgment, a lack of awareness about whether it's morning or night...

Targaryen Isa originally thought she could definitely hold on.

As a result, no one knows how much time has passed.

Targaryen Issa said to William Cam, "Your Highness, how long have we been locked up? I can't take it anymore, I want to get out... I want to get out..."

William Cam was also on the verge of a breakdown, and said irritably, "Alright! Just shut up. Didn't you say we shouldn't betray them? Now... look, nobody's talking to us... what's the point of you following me?"

Targaryen Isa's eyes reddened immediately after William Cam's reprimand, and she retorted, "William Cam, are you sure you want to talk to me like that?"
