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

Boudica's attitude was undeniably assertive.

They weren't given any face at all.

This made Amityon and Jolton, who had originally intended to have a proper conversation, look rather uneasy.

Not to mention William Cam and Targaryen Isa, who were already unhappy.

The two of them had increasingly unpredictable expressions, looking like they were about to explode in anger.

Boudica dared to do this entirely because Xiao Ce gave her confidence.

Xiao Ce made it very clear to Boudica that they should follow his lead; their current strength meant they didn't need to bow down to him.

Of course, Xiao Ce's confidence didn't come from nowhere.

While Xiao Ce was delirious and feverish, things were not idle at Wolong Manor.

Based on the blueprints given by Xiao Ce, Team One and his team actually managed to produce a Desert Eagle pistol, as well as an AK47 and a 98K, all of which were manufactured using these machines.

Although the success rate is only about 50%, as No. 1 said, this is because they don't understand it well and are not skilled in the production process. Once they are skilled, the success rate can reach at least 80%.

Although the production speed is not fast, it is thousands of times faster than hand-rolling.

He said that under normal production conditions, one hundred people could produce around one thousand weapons.

Bullets, on the other hand, don't require much technical skill and can be made by other people in the manor.

Therefore, they now have not only a hundred shadow guards equipped with the best rifles and pistols.

Their combat power is absolutely overwhelming.

Moreover, Xiao Ce allowed the Shadow Guards to produce a batch first, and then temporarily halt other production.

Because what he needs now is a well-trained army, not a large quantity of weapons.

Brian, Boudica's uncle, also brought a group of trusted men with him.

They've all tested these No. 1s, and they're definitely trustworthy.

So they were made familiar with the use of these firearms, especially the essentials of sniper rifles.

Although they were able to produce telescopes with decent accuracy, they were far less advanced than those of later generations.

However, something is always better than nothing.

Moreover, Xiao Ce instructed them to find some people with exceptional shooting skills to do the work.

According to Number One, they actually found some sharpshooters.

They can hit the bullseye every time without using a sight, and even more so when they do use one...

It was these changes that made Xiao Ce stand up for himself.

Guns and money are both a man's backbone.

Previously, money accounted for half; now, guns account for the other half.

Now that Xiao Ce has everything, he has a solid foundation.

Not to mention the British Empire, even the Illuminati.

Having just stepped forward and put up such a bold move, Xiao Ce was full of confidence.

Xiao Ce spoke with great confidence, following Boudica's words.

Boudica naturally trusted Xiao Ce, so she didn't keep anything.

Seeing that the others looked awkward and didn't speak for a long time, he noticed that they were all speechless.

Boudica's voice turned colder, and she said, "What, did you come here unprepared? Or are you just here to play a trick on me?"

William Armitage listened to Boudica's increasingly cold voice and was about to get up.

It's clear that Boudica doesn't have any affection for Zion Jolton or Targaryen Isa.

Boudica was quite direct. Therefore, it would be better for William Armiten to take over the conversation.

William Armington quickly chimed in, "No, no... it's just that Ms. Boudica, you're being too direct, I don't know how to respond for a moment..."

"We've come here with good intentions! First, we want to express our apologies. What happened before was not our intention... and our offense to you was even less intentional."

As he spoke, William Armiten glanced at William Cam and Targaryen Issa.

Although the two were extremely reluctant, they still came out.

Boudica didn't speak, but just looked at the two of them with a meaningful expression.

The two swallowed hard, just about to speak.

Boudica waved her hand: "Alright, you've been holding it in for so long, but you haven't come up with anything. You have nothing to apologize for. I haven't suffered any loss either. Although you were the ones who came to pick a fight with me, to be honest, you've shot yourself in the foot."

"I've suffered no loss, so an apology is unnecessary! Let's get down to business. I don't care about this level of apology..."

William Cam listened with a dark expression, his anger rising in his chest, ready to erupt.

However, William Armiten stopped her: "Ms. Boudica, you are right... We will show our sincerity... as long as you invalidate that gladiatorial book and stop pursuing the matter, we will do our utmost to facilitate your return to House Targaryen and your ascension to the position of head of the Targaryen family..."

To be honest, if we take William Armiten's word for it, this is actually quite a show of sincerity.

Of course, this is on the premise that they are really willing to do it, but it is clear that they are just talking the talk.

After listening, Boudica feigned interest, then laughed and said, "Oh? Is that so? Targaryen Isa, now the Targaryen family is under your mother, Zion Michelle, right? So, are you willing to spit out what you've already swallowed?"

Targaryen Issa was very uncomfortable with Boudica's haughty and arrogant demeanor.

However, he managed to keep his composure and managed to force a smile onto his face.

“Sister Boudica, yes, it was indeed my mother who was in charge. However, it was under duress... Back then, you..."

Boudica waved her hand: "Alright, I don't have a sister as vicious and venomous as you... Besides, is your mother really willing to hand over power to me?"

Targaryen Isa said with an extremely embarrassed expression, "Yes...yes...this family was originally supposed to be inherited by you, it's just returning to its rightful owner."

After listening to Targaryen Isa's words, Boudica laughed and said, "Good! Good line! Returning it to its rightful owner. Since it's about returning it to its rightful owner, isn't it inappropriate for you to use this as a bargaining chip..."

Boudica's mind worked quickly, and she immediately seized on the loophole in Targaryen Isa's words.

Sion Jorton glanced at Targaryen Isa before speaking, “Ms. Boudica, while it is indeed a return to its rightful owner, you know you have already left... Moreover, the British Empire is a complex web of intertwined power struggles. Without our support and assistance, even if we handed the position to you, you wouldn't be able to hold onto it securely. Therefore, you will need our help.”

Zion Jolton's words were not just an explanation, but also a threat.

Boudica sneered after hearing this, then said to Zion Jodon, "If you've shown this much sincerity... frankly, I don't care... Targaryen Isa said that me sitting in that seat is returning it to its rightful owner. If I want to sit there, I'll get it myself... I don't need your help!"

"After all this talk, is this all the sincerity you're willing to offer? If so, you can leave... Everyone's time is very valuable."

Boudica's attitude made them very embarrassed.

They had expected Boudica to give them some face, but Boudica's domineering nature exceeded their expectations.

I had hoped to finalize the gladiatorial book deal and also wanted to sow discord between myself and John Jonard.

However, after talking for so long, they haven't even resolved the issue of the gladiatorial book, let alone moved on to the next step.

Seeing this, William Armiten quickly said, "Ms. Boudica, we have certainly come with good intentions! However, all of this is contingent on your willingness to talk to us, isn't it?"

Boudica scoffed, "Haven't I been giving you chances all along? It's just that you've been hiding your true intentions. Don't treat others like fools! I've patiently listened to all your ramblings... Let's get straight to the point. Everyone knows there's no room for friendship between us. Since there's no friendship, let's just talk about interests..."

William Cam nodded after listening to Boudica's words: "Very well, Ms. Boudica, since you're willing to see us, you must know that John Jonard and his group are also using you as pawns..."

"No need for all that, let's get straight to the point," Boudica interrupted.

"As you know, we're currently dealing with John Jonard and the families of the Twelve Families... We're now confident of victory... We wouldn't normally have opened up that castle, and you should know that without our permission, you wouldn't have been able to get even a step closer. So, if you don't pursue the matter, we can let you use the castle for now..."

"As far as I know, that castle is very important to you, isn't it? How about this one?"

Boudica listened and said, "You really don't take those agents seriously. They bought that castle with real money. You're really more capable than them."

"To be honest, they're doomed this time! We didn't join you because we're all British. So, you're helping us this time, even willing to testify against John Jonard and his gang for the shady dealings they've made you do. I promise you, you won't be implicated."

"Of course, if you refuse to cooperate and insist on embarrassing us, then you should know that your backers have all fallen... and what will the consequences be for you? Ms. Boudica, you are a smart woman... it's far better to be on good terms with us than to be at odds with us..."

"This gladiator book matter can be considered a gesture of goodwill from you... Since you didn't make things difficult for us this time, we will definitely let you off the hook in the future."

William Armington's expression became increasingly interesting as he spoke, and he even seemed somewhat smug.

Because he felt that he had not only stated his demands, but also intimidated Boudica!

First, they used the castle to blackmail Boudica, and then they threatened her with what would happen next.

William Armiten immediately felt that if he used both methods, Boudica would obediently submit.

So, after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but straighten his back.
