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

Yin Pan'er nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I need to go to the police station for a proper investigation."

The two men smiled and nodded: "Of course, no problem, it's a must!"

As she spoke, Yin Pan'er asked the two men, "Gentlemen, how much do you need here? You haven't said yet..."

The two exchanged a glance: "The more the merrier!"

Yin Pan'er seemed to be considering it for a moment, then looked at the two of them and said, "Gentlemen, considering that you've waited so long, I'll give you some news!"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, the two people immediately looked curious: "News? Please give us your instructions, Agent!"

“Led by John Jonard, they united their four families and borrowed a total of 20 billion soles from Boudica.”

"what!"

The two of them were completely surprised by what Yin Pan'er said.

"Are they crazy? Are they going to put up 20 billion soles to bid?" Zion Jolton said incredulously.

William Armiten shook his head and said, "No... they borrowed 20 billion soles, it doesn't mean they only have 20 billion soles..."

Zion Jolton was initially surprised, but a wicked smile quickly spread across his face.

Seeing that smirk, William Armiten said to Sean Jolton, "Jolton, what are you laughing at?"

Sion Chawton said to William Armington, "Armiton, you've forgotten... we're not just a plan, are we? Since they're so confident of victory, let's give them a good scare..."

William Armiteng looked embarrassed by Sean Jolton's words, then gave Sean Jolton a wink.

It seemed to be indicating that he didn't need to say anything.

Sion Jorton looked at Yin Pan'er: "Acting Lady Yin Pan'er will definitely help us, no problem... Besides, since we're going to ask Acting Lady Yin Pan'er to lend us money, we should at least tell her what we're going to do with the money."

Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "That's right. To be honest, if you wanted to borrow money from me to buy that castle at a high price, I probably wouldn't help you. After all, in my eyes, everything has a value! If it's overpriced, I'm afraid you'll feel like you've lost money and then try to renege on your promise!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, even if I don't help you, I won't sabotage you..."

William Armington smiled and nodded: "Of course, of course...we understand...and we absolutely trust you on this point...The reason I didn't let Jordan come with you is because I thought you hadn't decided to help us yet, and if we said that, you might misunderstand and think we were deliberately trying to get you on our side..."

After listening to William Armiten's words, Yin Pan'er thought to herself that these people were also quite eloquent.

"It's alright, don't overthink it. My desire to help you stems primarily from my own will and the will of the student council president. Even the student council president cannot change my mind about things I don't want to do."

Yin Pan'er's words made the two of them look at her with new respect.

With that, Yin Pan'er told them to speak frankly.

William Armington said, "As I just mentioned, we actually have two plans. Lady Yin Pan'er, you might not have been paying attention. One is to bid directly, of course, if the price is right. Our bottom line is around three billion. But if it exceeds that price, we'll raise the price as much as possible, and regardless of whether they get their money back in the end, we'll make sure they lose everything..."

"So, you said John Jonard and the others borrowed 20 billion from Boudica. We mainly just raised the price for them. So, if possible, we'd like to borrow at least 20 billion from you, 22 billion would be best."

"Because we still have three billion soles in funds..."

After listening to William Armington's explanation, Yin Pan'er wasn't surprised and nodded, "I can lend you the money. I know your two families' assets are far more than that. But I have another question: you want to drive up their price, have you considered that they have the same goal? How do you plan to avoid being framed by them in the end... What if you dig a hole and bury yourself? You know that even with a premium, that castle is only worth three billion, which is already very expensive..."

"Have you considered that even if you help William Cam and his group get acquitted, in the best-case scenario they'll return the value of the castle to you? But it certainly won't be an exorbitant price. You know the Inquisition's valuations are always very average and below market value... In that case, you'll truly lose everything!"

William Armiten said, “Lady Yin Pan’er, we have raised this question before. First of all, we can afford to compensate! When we harm others, there is naturally the possibility that we ourselves could be framed. I cannot guarantee that I can dig a pit and bury them! If that happens, I admit defeat…”

"Of course, don't worry, even if we dig a hole and bury ourselves, we will definitely repay the debt to you!"

"Your answer was really unexpected. I thought you were sure you wouldn't lose. Okay, I can lend it to you," Yin Pan'er said with a smile.

The two people excitedly said to Yin Pan'er, "Acting Lady Yin Pan'er, thank you."

Yin Pan'er continued, "Of course, you need to remember this yourselves. I'm not helping you; I also need interest. For me to truly help you, I need evidence. I need to know that they are the ones at fault."

The two of them nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, Lady Yin Pan'er, we understand."

Yin Pan'er told them to wait a moment while she changed her clothes and then went to the police station to have the documents notarized.

The two nodded happily.

They were both very clever; they knew that since Yin Pan'er had spoken up, all she needed now was a reason.

If they give Yin Pan'er a reason to act, she will definitely act.

...

Xiao Ce returned to the ground floor of the Gas Hotel.

Now, Jin Hulk is wearing a new suit, and his hair is combed so meticulously that it looks like a fly would fall over if it stood on it.

Today, Kim Hok seems to be bathed in exceptional light.

Seeing Jin Haoke come to greet him, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Jin Haoke, are you going on a blind date? You look exceptionally handsome."

Jin Haoke had a bright smile on his face and was extremely excited: "Mr. Ce, thanks to you, what we are going to do today is much more important than Kobe's blind date."

Xiao Ce looked at Jin Haoke with a puzzled expression: "Oh? What's wrong? Why aren't you going? What are you waiting for me here for?"

Jin Haoke smiled at Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Ce, the two big bosses have arrived and are currently at Wolong Manor! Mr. Jin has already gone to entertain them and asked me to wait for you."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised: "Oh? Two big brothers from Kimberly are here? Should I change my clothes?"

Jin Haoke didn't say anything.

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, your clothes are very nice. Besides, it's getting late, I think it would be better to go sooner."

Jin Haoke chimed in, "Mr. Jin instructed before he left that there was no rush, and he would contact you when you returned..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright, let's set off then. You mean they're at the manor? Not at this castle?"

Jin Haoke nodded: "That's right! I was quite surprised too... However, I've always been very curious about these two big bosses."

As he spoke, Jin Haoke invited Xiao Ce to sit in his carriage. Their carriage had been traveling all day, and now that they were about to leave the city, they were afraid that their stamina would not be able to keep up.

Xiao Ce naturally agreed, while Ye Mao and Da Lei cautiously suggested checking the carriage.

As far as Night Owl and Big Thunder are concerned, they would be suspicious of everyone except Xiao Ce.

Jin Haoke looked at them and smiled, indicating his understanding.

After checking, they said there was no problem.

After getting into the carriage, Xiao Ce asked Jin Haoke, "Didn't you grow up with Mr. Kimberly since you were little? What, you've never seen them before?"

Jin Haoke nodded: "That's right, I haven't seen it before... Actually, as you've seen, the Gas Hotel has only been established for a few years. Although Mr. Jin had many businesses and many friends before, his status was far lower than it is now..."

"Mr. Kim's position came about after the establishment of the Gas Hotel, when he became the actual manager of the hotel. Mr. Kim himself is very talented in management, but what is even more powerful is the influence of the two big bosses."

“Mr. Ce, you should know that there is a custom of using representatives here. The two big bosses also have two representatives, but these two representatives rarely show their faces. It is said that these two representatives are servants of the two big bosses. However, even if they are servants, their status is very extraordinary.”

"They seem capable of resolving anything here. It's no exaggeration to say that a single word from those two big bosses would get the Western chairman, Ed White, to give them face. Of course, I don't know exactly why he would give them face..."

"However, there's nothing here that we can bother them with; the management here values ​​harmony. But you should know that in Lingas City, there's a specific law: no disturbances are allowed in the Lingas Hotel. If Mr. Kimberly deems it a disturbance, it's a crime without trial, and the sentence is determined by Mr. Kimberly. Furthermore, any person or organization wanting to arrest someone from the Lingas Hotel needs Mr. Kimberly's permission; otherwise, no one can be taken away..."

Xiao Ce listened to Jin Haoke mention this regulation with a look of surprise: "Oh? There's such a thing? I didn't hear Mr. Kimberly mention this? According to you, if Kimberly commits a crime, he'll be invincible here?"

Jin Hulk nodded: "Yes, you could say that. Of course, Mr. Kimberly has never used such privileges. So, this Gas Hotel can be considered a haven for refugees..."

Kimberly nodded, "Of course, money is also required. However, Mr. Kimberly hasn't abused his authority. Generally, he shelters those who come for refuge, as long as they aren't heinous criminals. But ultimately, the high prices here cause some to leave. And for real criminals, Mr. Kimberly, after learning about them, will also persuade them to leave. Those people all comply. Although the death penalty is rare in Lingas City, Mr. Kimberly theoretically has the authority to have someone sentence someone to death!"

Xiao Ce was genuinely surprised upon hearing this: "This must be due to the connections of the big boss you mentioned?"

Kimberly nodded: "That's right! Although he has a lot of power here, Mr. Kimberly has never abused his power, which is why he is respected."

Xiao Ce nodded: "I'm even more curious about those two big bosses now... people who can get the Western chairman to give them face. Interesting..."

Jin Haoke nodded: "The president of the Illuminati is also one of the more powerful ones in the regulations... After all, the Illuminati is not the work of any one person, but is supported by countless families."

Xiao Ce listened to Jin Haoke's words and nodded with a smile: "I'm becoming more and more curious."

Night Owl chimed in, speaking in the Xiao language, "Your Highness, there's nothing to be curious about. They're just exaggerating. You are practically a legend in Xiao..."

Da Lei wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right, any legend is nothing compared to you... Besides, all that mystification..."

Boudica listened to their words and agreed: "Indeed, Your Highness, in front of you, no matter how powerful or formidable something may be, it is nothing more than this..."

Xiao Ce was somewhat amused and exasperated to see everyone praising him in the Xiao Kingdom dialect: "What's going on? Why are they suddenly praising me like this..."

Night Owl said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, it's because we're so surprised by you. You always underestimate yourself. After we got to know you, even the most powerful people seem weak in comparison..."

Da Lei nodded: "That's right, Your Highness, we want you to realize your own limitations, to recognize how awesome you are..."

Boudica nodded in agreement as before.

Jin Haoke, who was standing to the side, listened as they suddenly switched to speaking a different language.

He couldn't understand a word they said, but seeing them laugh, he could only awkwardly smile back.

After exchanging a few jokes with them, Xiao Ce continued to say to Jin Haoke, "Manager Jin, we were just making a few local jokes."

Jin Haoke smiled and nodded, "I know...I know..."

Da Lei glanced out the car window and asked, "How far are we from that manor? Is the security situation worse once we leave Lingas City?"

Seeing Da Lei's wary expression, Jin Haoke nodded: "Mr. Da Lei, although this area is still part of Lingas City after we leave Lingas City, it's not like Lingas City anymore because it's a well-connected area."
