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

Xiao Ce then said to Boudica, "Are you wondering why I'm doing this? It doesn't seem to benefit us at all?"

Boudica nodded at first, then shook her head: "Although I don't quite understand, I believe you..."

Xiao Ce then said to Boudica, "John Jonard isn't here to get that castle back for us. They made this decision because of our attitude last time."

"They wanted us to fight against the William royal family so they could reap the benefits, but clearly, they didn't expect us to abandon Luminova Castle outright. This was beyond their expectations!"

"After all, everyone knows that they exchanged a three-year lease of Luminova Castle and the naming rights of the castle for twenty percent of our Dark Light brand shares. They were just trying to get something for nothing. If we don't get the castle and can't use it, it's not us who lose face, but them."

"So, if we don't take action, they have no other choice. To save face, they can only let them fight it out themselves. Therefore, the best thing for us to do now is to do nothing... let them fight it out."

“The William royal family never took us seriously. They didn’t follow our lead. Their actions were all aimed at John Jonard and his group… We’re doing this so that John Jonard and his group have no choice but to do the same.”

Boudica listened to Xiao Ce's analysis and nodded: "Ce, if we just kill William Armiten or Sean Jolton, John Jonard and the others will know they didn't do it... They won't think it was William's family who did it. I'm afraid that even if they do it this way, they'll still eventually suspect us..."

After listening to Boudica's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "What can they do if we don't admit it? Besides, whether they admit it or not isn't up to them... it's up to the management committee... and what the William family thinks..."

"Don't worry, this fire won't reach us..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Boudica took his arm.

He then said to Xiao Ce, "Of course I believe you..."

...

After a peaceful night, Xiao Ce and Boudica found the most conspicuous shop in Lingas the next day and began to set up, saying that they had decided to hold a launch event for the Dark Light brand.

When John Jonard and his group learned of their actions, they went to find Xiao Ce and Boudica in person.

Xiao Ce and Boudica saw John Jonard and invited him over.

Xiao Ce naturally put on an acting performance, directly addressing John Jonard: "Agent, what brings you here?"

John Jonard said to Xiao Ce, "I heard you're holding a press conference here..."

Xiao Ce nodded but did not answer John Jonard directly. Instead, he changed the subject and invited him to a quiet room to the side.

After inviting John Jonard to sit down, Xiao Ce said, "Agent, we chose this side because we don't want to cause you any trouble. We know very well that the William royal family is trying to provoke you this time."

"They just want to cause trouble for you! They want to embarrass you. Rest assured, I will not fall for their tricks! I won't give them that chance. Regarding the incident at Luminova Castle, you used real Sol to film it. I believe the Lingas management will give us a fair explanation..."

"We can hold our press conference anywhere...it doesn't have to be in that castle...let's focus on building our business first..."

While Xiao Ce acted as understanding, he also fanned the flames from the sidelines.

His skill in stirring up trouble had long since reached a level of perfection.

Although John Jonard appeared relaxed, it was clear from his expression that he was gritting his teeth.

“Mr. Ce, Boudica! Are you surrendering to them? No way! The Dark Light brand event must be held in that castle. Since the Luminova Castle has already been named Luminova, and the Dark Light brand is its name... if it's placed in a place like this, the sense of sophistication you mentioned will be lost.” John Jonard said.

Xiao Ce smiled bitterly: "Agent John Jonard, we naturally know what you're saying. But, as you've seen, the William family's attitude is very tough. We sent people over before, but they were all driven away. We went to the police station, but it was no use... I heard that they have people in the management."

"While we want to deal with them, we've been in business for so long, we've learned a lesson: you can't fight a rock head-on... If you do, you're doomed..."

"Actually, this is because you, our agents, think highly of us. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a hurry to turn against them... We do want to deal with them, but not now... We have a long-term plan... We're willing to wait... We can wait..."

Xiao Ce's words were very rational.

John Jonard listened with great satisfaction and nodded to Xiao Ce: "Good, Mr. Ce, you are a smart man... We have remained indifferent to the castle matter and have not taken any action. Do you have any opinions about this? You have been secretly cursing us, haven't you?"

Seeing John Jonard's probing manner, Xiao Ce sneered inwardly, thinking, "Unexpectedly, he still has some self-awareness..."

While thinking this in her heart, she naturally wouldn't say it aloud: "Of course not, Boudica and I have praised you from time to time... We keep saying that we need to learn from you. You're already in such high positions... yet you still cower like turtles, protecting yourselves and always mindful of your safety. You're simply too clever..."

Xiao Ce had a serious expression on his face. He spoke very earnestly, but his words sounded like he was cursing.

Actually, it didn't sound like an insult; Xiao Ce was deliberately calling them cowards.

However, because Xiao Ce's acting was so convincing, even though John Jonard's expression wasn't pleasant, he still feigned innocence and acted as if he knew nothing, asking John Jonard in a pitiful manner.

"Agent, is there something wrong with what I said? Why do you look so unhappy?"

John Jonard didn't think much of it and simply echoed Xiao Ce, saying, "It's nothing, it's just that your analogy sounds more like you're insulting us."

Xiao Ce snorted coldly when he heard what John Jonard said, thinking to himself, "He can still understand, so he does have some brains."

Thinking this to himself, he continued with feigned trepidation, "No, no, no...we didn't. Sea turtles were sacred in Roman culture, they were sea gods..."

Xiao Ce opened his mouth and started rambling on and on.

Anyone who has dealt with Xiao Ce knows that his words are worth more than a thousand troops.

After being swayed by Xiao Ce's words, John Jonard laughed and said, "Mr. Ce, I believe you. We're friends... What you're saying is just a cultural difference, nothing more..."

"Oh, right, Mr. Ce, I almost forgot about the important matter I wanted to discuss with you..."

After listening to John Jonah's words, Xiao Ce looked at him curiously.

"Put your business on hold for now. Give us a few days, and we'll give you an explanation about the castle... Since we've taken twenty percent of your shares, we won't take them for nothing... I'll ensure you can continue doing what you're supposed to do inside safely..."

After listening to John Jonard's words, Xiao Ce said with an embarrassed expression, "No, no, no, Agent, we don't want your conflict with them to escalate because of us. We really can be patient for now... A moment of patience brings peace, and taking a step back opens up a vast sky. We want to learn from you, like a sea turtle..."

Xiao Ce then cursed them again, without revealing his true feelings.

John Jonard still sounded a bit strange, but Xiao Ce had already explained it.

He naturally accepts it now.

However, John Jonard is just showing off now.

"No, no, no, you can tolerate it. We can't. You don't need to worry about this. You don't dare to offend them, but we're not afraid of them. Besides, you've seen it yourself. This time, they're not just here to deal with you! They're here to deal with us... So, this matter is no longer your concern."

"I'm here to inform you that you need to stop your activities here... What will others think of us if they see this... They bullied you, and instead of protecting you, we told you to move elsewhere... That would be a huge slap in our face..."

Xiao Ce feigned sudden realization: "I'm sorry, Agent, that's not what we meant... we just didn't want to escalate the situation."

Xiao Ce continued to feign a look of fear and trepidation.

John Jonard listened, a hint of arrogance appearing on his face: "It's alright. It's normal for someone of your status to have such concerns. Don't worry, since we've entrusted you with this, we won't abandon you... Can we stop things here?"

Xiao Ce nodded respectfully...

Upon seeing this, John Jonard smiled and said, "Alright, then you can wait for good news."

Xiao Ce continued to display an obedient and sensible expression.

John Jonard was very pleased with what he saw.

"Alright, let's leave it at that then..."

Seeing John Jonard stand up, Xiao Ce immediately rose to cooperate, saying, "Acting Sir, if there's anything we can help with, please just say the word..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, John Jonard glanced at Xiao Ce, his eyes practically overflowing with disdain...

"The greatest help you can give us is simply to wait quietly and do nothing..."

Seeing this, Xiao Ce chuckled and nodded in agreement...

He was secretly hoping that John Jonard and his group would look down on them, and he was even afraid that John Jonard and his group would actually come to them for help.

This is good now...
