Chapter 721 Chess Player
Kimberly smiled and nodded: "Of course, you know I'm just offering advice..."
"Actually, this chairman's representative is powerful, but not powerful either, so he's not very effective... Therefore, you don't need to feel too much pressure."
After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Mr. Kimberly, I understand them..."
What Xiao Ce said was true.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kimberly left.
The two of them were dressed to the nines.
They changed into clothes from the Dark Light brand that they had prepared for them; Xiao Ce and Boudica's clothes before did not have the Dark Light logo.
But now that it's already fixed, let's just put it up there.
Xiao Ce didn't put in much effort to design it; wasn't there a brand called Donkey Brand in his previous life?
This is a Lolita fashion brand, pretty much the same, he just copied it.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.
When Jin Haoke saw Xiao Ce wearing a custom-made suit, his eyes lit up.
Because Xiao Ce has an outstanding temperament, even though he has an East Asian face, he might be looked down upon in their region.
However, Xiao Ce's face, combined with his clothes, was a huge plus.
Priceless.
Jin Haoke thought it was the magic of the clothes.
After they got into the carriage, Xiao Ce noticed that Ye Mao and Da Lei had both gained weight.
It was obvious that they had a lot of explosives strapped to their bodies.
Xiao Ce didn't say anything, he just glanced at the two of them.
The two immediately understood each other and gave Xiao Ce an awkward smile.
He then said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, isn't this just for safety's sake?"
Xiao Ce said to them, "Do you think you can get in dressed like this?"
The two men said to Xiao Ce, "We'll definitely be able to get in..."
Xiao Ce didn't understand at first why these two people were so confident.
However, after watching the two of them take off their clothes...
Xiao Ce then understood why.
This was the first time he had ever seen it.
Xiao Ce was surprised by what he saw.
Because what's in front of us, simply put, is a bomb disguise.
To be precise, it's a vest emblazoned with explosives.
The two also explained the safety of this device…
They said it was specially designed, and as they spoke, they kept pounding on the explosive vest.
This really scared Xiao Ce. He really didn't expect that the stability of their explosives had been upgraded so much.
The two men said they weren't stupid; they would never dare to wear it if it weren't safe.
Their mission was to protect Xiao Ce, not to assassinate him.
Xiao Ce looked at these things; what they had developed now had completely exceeded what he had previously suggested to them.
Xiao Ce even felt that if their weapons were this powerful...
There's absolutely no need for him to go through all this trouble.
After all, we can conquer them directly by force.
However, Night Cat seemed to have guessed what Xiao Ce was thinking.
He then said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, although these things are stable, they are extremely difficult to make. It is said that they sacrificed thousands of people to create just a few pieces... Although they sent them over, they want us to use them in crucial moments. After all, if we want them to replicate them, it's possible, but they don't recommend it because it would require them to risk their lives..."
Xiao Ce finally understood after listening to this.
However, those who conducted the research were also considered crazy.
When Boudica saw this, she told them to put the clothes on and said that they hadn't expected it to be a weapon.
Even if it were placed in front of them, they wouldn't be able to see or understand it.
Da Lei nodded: "That's right, sir. Actually, after I saw this, I was certain that what you did was right. Absolutely right."
After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce asked with some surprise, "What does this have to do with anything?"
Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, do you remember when we first met?"
Da Lei's words instantly transported Xiao Ce back to a day five or six years ago.
Back then, they were trained by Uncle Wang, and they had nothing.
At that time, Xiao was beset by internal and external troubles and was extremely weak.
However, over the years, although the Xiao Kingdom has also faced some catastrophic disasters.
Fortunately, we all got through this together.
As Xiao Ce's thoughts drifted, he nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, back then, we thought we were invincible, but when you showed us the muskets, we were filled with despair, especially when we were fighting with bombs, it was truly upside down."
"Things we never dared to imagine before are now commonplace in our Xiao Kingdom. Firearms are standard equipment for the army. Moreover, especially after the establishment of the Tianji Academy, everything we dared not think of is becoming a reality. Our country can be described as changing rapidly."
“Every day brings new changes, so you've slowed down the West… allowing our Xiao Kingdom to develop. I believe that with our nation's resilience, diligence, and intelligence, all we need is three years of peace and stability, perhaps even less, to develop in a way that will shock these Westerners… making them dare not harbor even the slightest thought of resistance…”
"Therefore, what you are doing here is very meaningful, buying time for the entire Xiao Kingdom, and even the whole of East Asia..."
After listening to Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce looked at him with great interest and smiled.
Da Lei then said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "You've got quite the mouth... Do you still remember what you looked like before?"
Da Lei seemed to be recalling something, and then he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Of course I remember... Sir, I don't think I was alone before..."
Hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce was both amused and exasperated, saying, "You guys can't just insult yourselves like that..."
Da Lei said to Xiao Ce with absolute certainty, "My lord, I wasn't just insulting myself... I was speaking the truth. Back then, we were more like a machine... a killing machine..."
Night Owl nodded, "That's right, sir. If we say that the old prince gave us life, and that you, princes, infused us with life..."
Da Lei nodded as he listened to Ye Mao's words.
Xiao Ce nodded in agreement as he looked at the two of them, and Boudica also sighed with emotion.
Xiao Ce interrupted him directly, saying, "Alright, we've gone off on a tangent... It's not that I helped you, we've just achieved mutual success. Even the people of Xiao Kingdom are grateful to me, but I'm grateful to them too. We've just achieved mutual success."
"Besides, even though we've come a long way, we've only just begun..."
The others didn't quite understand Xiao Ce's words, but Xiao Ce knew what they meant.
In fact, over the years, he has almost exhausted all the conditions for being a prophet who travels through time.
At this very moment, he is relying entirely on himself, and he will rely even more on himself in the future.
Although they didn't quite understand, they did grasp the point that they needed to support each other.
They would naturally be willing to do so.
As they spoke, they arrived outside the Sun Castle, which was magnificent and imposing.
It is said that this castle was the first castle in the entire city of Lingas, and even in the entire British Empire, it was among the first.
The situation here is similar to that at Twin Castles; uniformed guards are patrolling this area.
At this moment, a Westerner was already waiting.
John Jonard took hosting them quite seriously.
As Kimberly said, John Jonard's position is both impressive and unimpressive.
He is just a pawn, and if he is discarded by the player, his fate will be terrible.
Therefore, even if they are just a pawn, they still need to make a value as a pawn.
John Jonard had already made a mistake in the arena.
Although Ed White did not blame him, and Ed White had agreed to the gladiatorial arrangements.
But John Jonard knew very well that even if the player made a mistake and lost, it was still possible to win.
The player might not notice anything after one or two times.
After a while, the player holding the piece will feel that the piece is unlucky, and they will replace it with another piece.
For the player making the move, exchanging a piece incurs absolutely no cost.
Therefore, these pieces are hoping that the player who moves the piece will win.
They also did some things they were able to do...
They lost a round, especially after all that happened, and especially after seeing the Darklight brand's current sensation in Lingas City.
Even a fool could see Boudica's difference.
Moreover, Boudica was a Targaryen.
Therefore, John Jonard valued them, because even as a chess piece, if they had some additional value, the player would be even less likely to change them.
The Western servants stepped forward and greeted Boudica, and even Xiao Ce, Da Lei, and Night Cat showed her respect.
After all, Boudica is the only one with a Western face, while the others all have East Asian faces.
John Jonard made it very clear that those who came here should not be underestimated.
So, after a warm welcome, they were led inside.
Moreover, what Xiao Ce had initially worried about did not happen. Not only did they not search him, they didn't even ask him the most basic questions.
This is actually a way of expressing respect and importance.
The main point is that there are separate laws in the city of Lingas.
Entering the castle, we found it to be very large.
It was like a maze, and Xiao Ce had no doubt that he couldn't walk out alone.
After walking around for a while, we arrived at the outside of a restaurant.
Compared to the Gas Hotel, the decor here is definitely not luxurious.
However, this place has a sense of sophistication and a profound feeling.
The weight of history.
As soon as they arrived, John Jonard came out to greet them with a warm smile.
Boudica always appears in extremely luxurious clothes, so her outfit today was as elegant and beautiful as ever, which didn't surprise John Jonard.
What surprised him was Xiao Ce's very high-quality suit. Although it was a suit, Xiao Ce's suit looked much more upscale in terms of both material and style.
It made his suit look rather shabby.
After Xiao Ce put on that suit, he looked incredibly wealthy.
John Jonard didn't just invite them rashly; they did some research beforehand.
These lessons were information that Xiao Ce and his companions deliberately left for them to know.
John Jonard also knew that Boudica's success today was all thanks to Xiao Ce's help.
John Jonard certainly harbored racial prejudice in his heart.
Deep down, he looks down on anyone of skin color other than white people like himself.
However, he is definitely attracted to strength.
He will apply double standards and worship the strong as long as the other party is strong.
Just then, John Jonard greeted them very warmly.
They were then invited into the restaurant.
Upon entering the restaurant, John Jonard immediately invited them to sit in the seats of honor.
Even Da Lei and Ye Mao were invited to take their seats.
That's quite an achievement.
Da Lei and Ye Mao had a habit of eating with Xiao Ce and Boudica.
Even Kimberley would invite them.
Therefore, they sat down very naturally.
After witnessing this scene, John Jonard realized that he no longer dared to underestimate Big Ray and Night Owl.
Although Da Lei and Ye Mao were not dressed as smartly as Xiao Ce.
After sitting down.
John Jonard smiled and politely said, "Ms. Boudica, Mr. Ze, and our two distinguished guests, thank you for accepting my invitation. I express my gratitude..."
John Jonard was very polite.
Although it's obvious he was acting, his performance was still quite stiff.
However, Xiao Ce felt that if he continued to act, he wouldn't mind if it were mutually beneficial.
As for the fact that he and Yin Pan'er were rivals, Xiao Ce didn't care at all.
He was perfectly aware that Yin Pan'er definitely knew of his existence, and since she was not seeing him, there was no reason for her not to see him.
Boudica replied with a smile, "Agent, you are too kind. In fact, we have long wanted to befriend you, Agent... but we dared not presume to do so, considering our lowly status."
"Furthermore, we were still thinking about the misunderstandings we had with John Jonard. We only wanted to harm William Cam and Targaryen Isaac, but we never expected that they would drag you into this mess as well! We just didn't know! If we had known, we would have lost everything back then, but we wouldn't have dared to beat the Agent and your friends!"
"We've always felt guilty, but we've never had a proper opportunity to apologize..."
