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

The others listened and nodded without interrupting, signaling him to continue asking questions.

John Jonard continued, "I need your honest answer. Are you sure you didn't arrange for a gunman?"

The family representatives nodded repeatedly, saying, "We're sure! We can swear on it!"

"That's right, we can swear an oath!"

You can tell from these people's reactions.

They did not send out gunmen.

Moreover, they have many ways to handle this matter.

There's no need to use such a foolish method.

Therefore, John Jonard was still willing to believe them.

“Okay, since no one else did it, it’s obvious they did it on purpose... After all, there’s no other way to explain it…” John Jonard said with certainty.

Negan, the representative of the Rust family, said directly, "There's no need to just kill William Armiten and Sean Jolton. Isn't killing them a bit too much..."

After listening to Rust Negan's words, Aman said, "Is it possible that William Armiten and Sean Jolton also don't know...?"

John Jonard snapped out of his daze and said to them, "So, you mean the William family did it?"

After listening to John Jonard's words, Finn Jaeger, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Very likely! You know, the William royal family always prioritizes their own interests, regardless of who is sacrificed..."

"Furthermore, I've heard that William Armington and Sean Jolton have been in contact with Yin Pan'er, the acting president of the East Asia Association... You know, Yin Pan'er may seem like a woman, but she's ruthless. It's very possible she's already reached an agreement with William's royal family to sacrifice both of them..."

These representatives, relying on their own brilliant imaginations, began to fill in the gaps in their minds.

After listening to these people's imagined scenarios, they became even more determined.

They almost unanimously reached the same conclusion.

That means all of this was done by the East Asia Association's representative in collusion with the royal family, all to frame them.

John Jonard quickly asked Kidd, "Kidd, what did you do with those bodies...?"

Kidd quickly said, "I had them put them all together first. We wouldn't dare do anything without your orders."

John Jonard frowned slightly after hearing Kidd's words: "Quickly put the body back in its original position..."

Kidd said awkwardly, "That's probably difficult. I've had the whole scene cleaned up."

John Jonard's face darkened further, but they weren't wrong to do so...

If they want to cheat, this is indeed the best course of action.

John Jonard paced around a few times before saying to Kidd, "Now load the bodies into the truck and take them all to the police station."

"And all of us involved should turn ourselves in to the police station, honestly telling them everything we did, heard, and saw, without hiding anything..."

“Tell those people that even if they get caught, we'll take care of them to the end. For every length of time they're detained, we'll pay their families ten times their usual income…”

Kidd simply nodded, and John Jonard continued, "Also, have someone make a map of all the locations where those people witnessed the shootings, and then draw it out..."

John Jonard is indeed a capable agent; although he can be foolish at times, he still displays remarkable wisdom and competence.

Kidd nodded: "Will there be any problems if we move the body and clean up the scene?"

John Jonard shook his head: "It's alright. When asked, just say you believe the William family deliberately dumped the body here to create chaos in Lingas City... so we did it to avoid panic..."

"Your people should still remember which body was moved from which location, right?"

Kidd wasn't quite sure.

But at this moment, he dared not say he didn't know...

He just nodded.

John Jonard said, “Go quickly! Make sure you know the facts, and then go and turn yourself in... no, not turn yourself in, but report it to the police. Tell them the whole story, without any falsehoods.”

Kidd nodded again.

John Jonard continued, "Are you sure it was William Armiten and Sean Jolton who made the first move?"

Kidd nodded: "That's absolutely certain. The police chief also saw it..."

John Jonard nodded: "Then you'd better hurry up and get to work..."

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing his words.

Rust Negan asked, "So, should we do something?"

John Jonard said, "It's not time for us to get involved... let them do their thing first..."

Aman, standing nearby, said, "Should we get the police to seal off Lingas City now...?"

John Jonard shook his head: "No need... By now, if they wanted to run, they would have disappeared long ago... Alright, don't worry, if someone dies, we'll be in danger... Their management might try to shift the blame."

"But with so many people dead, the management committee will surely deliver a fair verdict... We did nothing, so we have nothing to fear. All our people will be taken to give statements and cooperate with them."

“And William Armiteng and Sean Jolton are already dead... Their Prince William and Targaryen Isa probably don’t know about this, so the people involved in this matter must be on the run.”

"Besides, those two idiots, William Cam and Targaryen Isa, might not even know the true thoughts of the William royal family... Let's see if the William royal family has joined forces with Yin Pan'er and the others, and observe their next actions..."

"If William Cam and Isa Targaryen were just messing around, then perhaps they genuinely wouldn't know. But if William Cam and Isa Targaryen are acting very methodically, then it means our guess was correct..."

"Let's wait a bit... This situation is in our favor. We've retaken the castle. They lost over a hundred people... we didn't suffer too many losses, and that's enough..."

After John Jonard said that, they all felt it made sense.

...

Meanwhile, in a hotel on the other side, some people were fleeing in all directions; some of them had already left this side.

After all, if their master could be beaten to death, then they would be no match for them.

They were genuinely afraid that if they stayed, they would lose their lives.

Nevertheless, some people still managed to find William Cam and Targaryen Isa.

The two were initially quite unhappy about being woken up.

However, they saw that the person who came in had been beaten black and blue, and had a mournful look on his face.

The two of them immediately realized that something was wrong.

Only after pressing them did they learn what had happened outside.

After hearing about this, especially after hearing that William Armiten and Sean Jolton had been killed.

They immediately became anxious and angry.

William Cam slammed his fist on the table, almost roaring, "You're saying Amityon is dead? Are you sure?"

The person who came to deliver the message nodded with great certainty and then repeated it.

"Fuck! Those John Jonards are going too far! First they used gunmen to frame us, and this time they're actually trying to shoot us. They're just agents of the Western Guild Master, but they really think they're the lords of this city..."

"They are truly arrogant beyond measure... Go! Call for help... I can't let my uncle die in vain... I'll make them pay the price."

Seeing William Cam's anxious expression, Targaryen Isa, standing to the side, showed a degree of calmness.

"Cam, don't panic... calm down..."

William Cam, after hearing Targaryen Isa's words, looked at her with disbelief and questioned, "Isa, are you kidding me? Amityon is my uncle, and Jordan is your uncle... They're dead!"

"They were shot dead for fighting for our interests! Shot in the head! Are you deaf? You want me to calm down now... are you even human?"

Targaryen Isa said to William Cam, "Fine, I'm not human... then you go. Lead your men and fight back... what if it's a trap?"

"Do you really think we're a match for them? Have you forgotten how they completely outmaneuvered us before? Uncle Amityon and Uncle Jordan, how do they compare to us? They must have been stronger than us. They were both shot dead. Do you think they'd be afraid of us?"

“I’d rather die than go to the police station and that awful prison again… Besides, they’ve gone mad; they even dared to lay a hand on Uncle Amityn and Uncle Jordan… Why don’t you think they would dare to lay a hand on us if we went there?”

"Of course, Cam, it's your business what you want to do... but I won't pay for your impulses anymore. What you do is your right, and I can't stop you... but don't ask me to do anything either..."

As she spoke, Targaryen Isa pointed to the bruises all over her face and body, and said to William Cam, "People say that once the wound heals, you forget the pain, but your wounds haven't even healed yet... and you've already forgotten the pain..."

"You know why Uncle Amityon and Uncle Jordan don't want us to get involved in their affairs? It's because they know the enemy is ruthless, and we're not only no match for them, we might even be completely manipulated... Of course, if you're confident, go ahead... I won't have any direct conflict with them until I'm fully prepared..."

It was only after Targaryen Isa unleashed her fury that William Cam calmed down.

She had no idea what Targaryen Issa had gone through in prison.

But what he went through in prison is very clear...

Upon realizing this, William Cam felt a sudden tightness behind him, and a series of scenes flashed before his eyes and flooded his mind.

His face turned deathly pale instantly, and then he said to Targaryen Isa, "Isa, what you said makes some sense... So what do you suggest we do?"

William Cam calmed down.

"Let's go find Yin Pan'er, the representative of the East Asia Association, first. Uncle Amityon and Uncle Jordan contacted her before the operation, although we don't know what they said. But since they dared to do this, Yin Pan'er must have known about it to some extent..."

"If she understands and is willing to offer help, we'll listen to her advice and assistance. Of course, if she's unwilling to help us, we'll simply leave..."

"Otherwise, like before, we'll be captured by them..."

After saying this, Targaryen Isaacs unconsciously revealed a deep fear again...

After he said that, William Cam nodded.

"Then let's hurry up."

Targaryen Isa said to William Cam, "Yes, and we can't just leave like this... They might target us next..."

A single sentence from Targaryen Isa terrified William Cam.

Don't be fooled by how loudly William Cam shouted just now; he's calmed down now.

He became incredibly cowardly again.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

At Targaryen Issa's suggestion, they went to change their clothes together.

The person who came to report asked, "Your Highness, Your Highness, what should we do now?"

William, Cam has absolutely no idea about this.

Instead, he looked at Targaryen Isa.

Targaryen Isa pondered for a moment, then said to the messenger, "I now command you to be their commander-in-chief. Gather all those people together and prevent them from wandering off..."

"First, you need to leave Lingas City. Afterward, wait for our message at the port..."

The messenger nodded after hearing this, and then looked at William Cam.

Clearly, the princess's words did not carry as much weight as the prince's.

William Cam said anxiously, "Why are you looking at me like that? The Princess's opinion is my opinion!"

The messenger was quite meticulous and asked William Cam to write it down on paper.

After all, the people here are in a state of chaos. If he only relies on his words and has no evidence, it will be difficult for others to believe him, let alone follow his orders.
