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

If they were to frame the East Asia Association president and his associates, Xiao Ce believed that those presidents were not to be trifled with and would certainly not let them off the hook.

Of course, if they don't listen to the Western chairman and don't frame them... John Jonard and his group won't let them off the hook.

No matter what, they'll be badly injured, if not killed.

What Xiao Ce needs to do now is actually very simple: take down the production line for this luxury item.

Xiao Ce had previously wanted to handle things himself, taking it slowly.

But after he stayed there for a while, God helped him.

Moreover, he also discovered a shortcut from Kimberly's side.

That means you can get a lot of helpers; a hero needs three helpers.

The people Kimberly recommends now are all very good. His ultimate goal in coming to the West is not to make money.

Instead, he wanted to disrupt the situation here, and Xiao Ce had already discovered that there was a problem here.

What Xiao Ce wanted to do was to make their Illuminati exist in name only.

His goal will be achieved once the Western world falls apart.

The female workers had settled down since the last meal, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Ryan is a very good subordinate, especially since there are many things he can ask Lyca to do.

After finishing things here, it was already evening.

Xiao Ce went back, just as he was about to go to Kimberly to discuss finding a partner.

Having stayed in Lingas City for so long, Xiao Ce understood one principle.

Although Lingas kept saying that money was everything, Xiao Ce was also very clear that you couldn't get by here without money.

But having no connections is even worse.

Having too many connections inevitably leads to contact with the twelve families, and even the Guangzhao.

Kimberly's connections were just right.

So, as soon as he got back, he saw Jin Haoke enthusiastically approach Xiao Ce.

“Mr. Ce, you’re back…that’s wonderful.”

Looking at Jin Haoke, Xiao Ce hesitated for a moment and said, "Great? How is it great that I'm back?"

Kimberly smiled and said, "Because Mr. Kimberly asked me to find you, and now that you're back... I've saved myself a lot of trouble finding you."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing Jin Haoke's words: "Oh? You're looking for me? What happened?"

Jin Haoke smiled at Xiao Ce and said, "That's right, something big has happened..."

Seeing Xiao Ce looking at him with a puzzled expression, Jin Haoke quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Ce, it's good that you're not in a hurry..."

As he spoke, Jin Haoke gestured for him to proceed.

Xiao Ce asked Jin Haoke what good news it was, and Jin Haoke replied that it was indeed good news...

However, it wouldn't be good for him to just tell Kimberly what happened when he approached him; it would be better to let Kimberly speak for him personally.

Xiao Ce and Boudica, led by King Hooke, went directly to Kimberly's room.

Upon arriving at Kimberly's room, Kimberly bowed and left.

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "Mr. Kimberly, I heard you have good news to tell me?"

Kimberly nodded: "Didn't Kim Hulk tell you that?"

Xiao Ce then repeated what Jin Haoke had said. Kimberly listened and smiled, saying, "That kid of his is always up to some kind of nonsense... It's a good thing, but there's nothing to keep secret."

As Kimberly spoke, he invited Xiao Ce to sit down beside him.

After Xiao Ce sat down.

Kimberly continued, "Mr. Ce, you said you wanted a castle before, do you still need it now?"

After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "Of course... So, do you have any castles for sale? Actually, I've been running around all day about this. I knew castles were rare before, but after investigating in detail, I realized they really are incredibly rare. There are only twenty castles in the entire city of Lingas, one for each of the twelve families, the Sun Castle of the Western Chairman of the Illuminati, the Twin Castles of the East Asian Chairman, and the police station's castle, leaving only five castles..."

“Those castles are owned by the royal families of some top countries... These castles are not for sale... Mr. Jin, where did you get this information?”

Kimberly smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Ce, I told you before... Actually, I didn't have much hope... After all, buying a castle requires the right time, place, and people... But, I didn't expect it... Mr. Ce, Ms. Boudica, you are really lucky... But, it seems that everything is arranged by fate."

After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce became even more curious, so he just looked at Kimberly with a curious expression.

Kimberly was not interrupted.

Kimberly continued, “Just recently, a friend from the Colosseum sent me a message. He said that William Cam and his gang had mortgaged a castle to them as a bet, and now that William Cam and his gang are suspected of committing crimes, all the properties they mortgaged will be auctioned off. Among those properties they mortgaged was a castle.”

After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce couldn't help but interrupt, "Shouldn't we make them repay the money first? Although they have mortgaged a lot of money, we should be able to notify their families. Those people from the British Empire shouldn't be unable to come up with even this much money."

Kimberly nodded: "That's true, that's the usual procedure. But isn't this a special case? Among the twelve families here, one belongs to the British Empire. The people from the Lingas City arena naturally went to that family first. But that family stated they wouldn't repay the debt..."

"Since they refused, and William Cam and Targaryen Isa are both imprisoned and unable to repay, there's a rule in Lingas City that if they can't be contacted within three days, they're considered missing. Once they're missing, an auction begins, and if they don't show up within seven days, it's considered a tacit agreement to the auction... So, given their current situation, they won't be coming out."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ce couldn't help but chuckle as he said, "Isn't this deliberately messing with them? That British family must be at odds with William Cam and his group, right?"

Kimberly smiled and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, you're right. It was deliberately done to deal with them, and it was all legal and justified... I heard that John Jonard got his comeuppance at the police station. And that family, one of the twelve families belonging to the British Empire, actually doesn't have a good relationship with the current monarch of the British Empire... Moreover, in fact, whether it's those twelve families, the various forces here, or even the royal families of other countries, they all wish for their castle to be auctioned off."

"As long as it's auctioned off, they have a chance. So, all parties are doing their best... to make this auction happen, since it's in everyone's interest... Moreover, John Jonard's faction was really screwed over by them, and they're convinced that William Cam and his group put on a show for you this time... So, they're holding William Cam and Targaryen Isa responsible for all this hatred."

After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "So, they're now the ones everyone's kicking when they're down, the ones everyone's beating when they're broken?"

Kimberly listened and nodded with a smile: "Isn't that a very apt description? Is this what the Xiao Kingdom calls a proverb?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Not really, it's just a proverb at most. But, Mr. Jin, haven't you helped us?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly looked at Xiao Ce with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean? How can I help you?"

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "Why aren't John Jonard and his group coming to us? They should be coming to cause us trouble too... Did you do something to prevent them from coming to me?"

Kimberly waved his hand with a wry smile: "Mr. Ce, you really are mistaken... I didn't do anything. To be honest, I'm the one wondering... I was going to ask you, did you do something to prevent them from seeking revenge?"

After hearing Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce smiled, then shrugged, indicating that he hadn't done anything...

Kimberly smiled and said, "Mr. Ce, to be honest, I have thought about it. I've considered whether I should help you and have come up with some countermeasures. However, if they really do target you, there's probably nothing I can do."

Kimberly added, "Of course, if you were in a life-or-death situation, I might be able to save your life, but beyond that, there's nothing I can do. Although the favor is good, often a favor can only be used once..."

After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce nodded. In fact, he had a vague feeling that Yin Pan'er might be helping him in secret.

But then I thought about it again and ruled out that possibility.

The reason is simple: if it really was Yin Pan'er who did something...

Those John Jonards must have done him an even worse job.

After thinking it over, Xiao Ce still felt that they probably wouldn't bother arguing with them.

Indeed, John Jonard and his group were skeptical of both Xiao Ce's and Boudica's identities.

The reason they didn't contact them was that they felt people like them were just pawns, pawns of the East Asia Association.

Therefore, they didn't take this seriously at all. Besides, the East Asians they had encountered were all too formidable fighters.

They were terrified that if they clashed with these East Asians, these East Asians would twist their heads off alive.

When Xiao Ce realized that the topic had gone a bit off track, he took the initiative to bring it back.

Xiao Ce then said, "By the way, Mr. Jin, you also said that this matter is being watched not only by those families, but also by powerful figures from various countries... Am I qualified to participate in this auction?"

Kimberly chuckled and said, "Of course...you're certainly qualified to participate. Lingas City does a good job in this respect; everyone has the opportunity to participate in such a public auction...after all, ordinary people can't compare to those super-rich..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright, what kind of procedure do you need..."

Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "If you don't want to attract attention, you can just find an agent to participate in the auction... This is the common practice here, since bidding this way means that no one knows who the other is?"

Xiao Ce nodded in agreement: "We don't even know who ultimately took the picture?"

Kimberly nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, Mr. Ce, this method is indeed correct. I think you made such a big splash in the arena before, so if you agree, I can help you with the bidding..."

After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce said expectantly, "I agree, of course I agree... but, Mr. Kim, aren't you afraid that you're getting too close to us..."

Kimberly laughed and said, "Don't worry, actually, I didn't do anything. Everything I did was legal and compliant. Even if someone wanted to mess with me, they couldn't kill me. Besides, if you want to be friends, you always have to give something... And these things are insignificant."

Xiao Ce was indeed deeply moved after hearing Kimberly's words; in fact, the two were kindred spirits.

Kimberly helped Xiao Ce for two reasons: first, he had high hopes for Xiao Ce; second, he saw a reflection of himself in Xiao Ce; and third, Xiao Ce's potential was clearly much greater than his own.

Kimberly may seem to be helping Xiao Ce, but in reality, he's more like helping his younger self...

Kimberly then said to Xiao Ce, "By the way, Mr. Ce, I heard from Hulk that you were also looking for me just now?"

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "That's right, Mr. Kimberly. Actually, my initial intention in coming here was to create a luxury brand. And now, I'm already starting to put that into practice..."

Kimberly nodded after listening to Xiao Ce's words. He had actually heard Xiao Ce say this more than once before...

However, due to various other matters that had been keeping him occupied, Kimberly did not inquire further.

Now that Xiao Ce had spoken up, Kimberly said to him, "I've heard you mention it before, but I've never had a chance to ask you what this luxury item is."

Xiao Ce thought about it for a moment. In fact, what he wanted to do and the Gas Hotel that Kimberly was building were quite similar.

Xiao Ce pondered for a moment and pointed to an exquisite water glass in front of him: "Mr. Jin, how much is this glass worth?"

Kimberly was taken aback by Xiao Ce's question, and subconsciously replied, "Probably fifty soles..."
