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

After Xiao Ce finished speaking.

Kimberly then sent someone to draft the agreement.

Xiao Ce then said to these people, "By the way, everyone, if you were to join forces, even the twelve families would be wary of you... So why are you still being manipulated by them?"

Lugi Oka, a tycoon from the largest livestock industry, spoke up: "Mr. Ce, you're right... Although we are top-notch in our respective industries, we face many restrictions. The beef and mutton we raise are monopolized by local families... If you don't sell to them, they have ways to deal with you. After all, those families wield both the law in one hand and the butcher's knife in the other."

"If we make even the slightest move, they can wipe us out completely. Right now, we're like an infant with an enormous fortune in their eyes..."

As he spoke, the livestock tycoon looked at Seth Garner and Ivan Voss, as well as Victor Gru, who were standing to one side.

"Those three are not under the control of the Twelve Families. Seth Garner's slave trading network is unique to him. As for Ivan Voss, he is the king of smuggling because his brothers are pirates at sea. The Twelve Families do not dare to challenge him, but they also look down on him."

"And then there's Victor Gru. He has troops under his command, so naturally he's not afraid. However, in the eyes of those nobles, mercenaries are nothing more than high-ranking slaves, so there's not much difference between them."

Slave trader Seth Garner gave a bitter laugh: "Hey! We seem to be free, but if those twelve families unite, they can pressure us to lower the price. We have no choice but to sell, and we're at their mercy."

Smuggling boss Ivan Voss: "Yes, we also have to appease various military departments. My pirate brothers still need to be captured by them a few times a year, supposedly as a way to show off their pirate achievements..."

The mercenary leader, Victor Gru, chuckled, "Yeah, actually, we're just exploited by them in every way. They basically treat us as laborers; they give us some benefits, and they take the lion's share. If we dare to resist, they have all sorts of ways to replace us..."

Xiao Ce naturally understood what they meant and said with a smile, "Don't worry, all of this will pass... I have a way to help you break free from their control."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, the group of people were filled with curiosity and excitement.

However, Kimberly arrived at this moment.

Holding the drafted contract.

Xiao Ce said, "Everyone, there's no rush. There are so many of you; it would be a waste of time for me to explain everything to you all. I'll give you individual advice later... Let's just get this done today..."

They all cooperated fully with Xiao Ce's words.

The signing was completed in no time, and then they went together to the police station for notarization.

These people said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to include us?"

Xiao Ce gave a wry smile: "Of course it's confirmed! You trust Mr. Jin, and I trust Mr. Jin too. You can rest assured that he chose me. I can also rest assured that he chose you."

Xiao Ce was giving Kimberly a lot of face when he said that.

Xiao Ce would never have said that before.

However, Kimberly has now gained his trust, and if he can do well...

Xiao Ce can write a new chapter in his life.

After going to the police station, I completed the notarization process.

There was no more nonsense.

Xiao Ce said he would contact them separately later.

After they left, Xiao Ce looked at Kimberly and said, "Mr. Kimberly, the people you selected for me are practically the best candidates for rebellion!"

I was just about to say those words to Kimberly.

Kimberly chuckled and said, “Besides, these people are all decent people…trustworthy. However, as you’ve seen, their reputations seem impressive…but in reality, they each have significant limitations…it’s very difficult to get them to challenge them.”

Xiao Ce said, "Of course, it's impossible to say that now... but we still have other allies."

After saying this, Xiao Ce revealed a sly smile.

Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "You mean... John Jonard and the others?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Not bad..."

Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "You really are crazy. To be honest, I wouldn't even dare to think of something like this... Let alone the twelve families, most nobles wouldn't cooperate with them, let alone support them."

Xiao Ce looked at Kimberly and said, "I dare not even think about it! Why don't you dare to think about it? That's because your thinking is limited..."

Kimberly looked at Xiao Ce with unwavering confidence: "To be honest, I think even getting them to join forces is difficult... I initially thought that by doing this, getting them to cooperate ahead of time, you were trying to annoy John Jonard and his group, so they would withdraw their shares and stop trying to take advantage of you..."

"Now it seems you really want to cooperate with them?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly: "Of course we really want to cooperate with them... If these fools are used properly, they can be a powerful weapon... Why don't we do that?"

Kimberly nodded: "I'm curious, what will you do..."

Xiao Ce glanced at the sky: "That should be about it... They should be arriving soon."

They waited in a lounge for a while, and then John Jonard and his men came over.

After they arrived, they saw Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Ce, you've arrived so early..."

They were particularly surprised to see Kimberly: "Mr. Kim, you're here too?"

Kimberly's position is actually quite delicate.

He himself may not have much face, but no one can ignore his influence at the Gas Hotel.

Kimberly smiled and said, "That's right, Mr. Ce just confirmed the shareholding."

John Jonard, visibly surprised by Kimberly's words, asked, "Oh? Mr. Kimberly, you've also invested?"

Kimberly smiled and nodded: "Indeed, Dark Light is a good project. I certainly won't miss it. I have a good personal relationship with Mr. Ce, and it took a lot of money to get Mr. Ce to give me an investment opportunity."
