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

"Firstly, we can hand over the Darklight brand to you legitimately and without any side effects. Secondly, we can openly retaliate. You should know that the British Empire has long been in turmoil under their rule. There will definitely be people and families who have been suppressed by them who will rebel!"

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, Kimberly stared at Xiao Ce in disbelief: "Brother Ce, you really are a prodigy."

Boudica did the same, and then said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, this is your real plan, isn't it?"

Xiao Ce smiled at them and then said, "There's no real or fake stuff here! Boudica, you should know that I'm the kind of person who thinks a hundred steps ahead before taking a single one..."

"Actually, this is like playing chess; your plan can't stay the same! Every move your opponent makes will change your entire strategy. But we just need to remember that our ultimate goal remains unchanged..."

Kimberly looked at Xiao Ce and asked疑惑地问道, "So, your final plan is..."

Xiao Ce blurted out, "Of course we'll win!"

After reading Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly asked with a hint of doubt, "Winning? Everyone has a different idea and perspective on winning. What do you mean by winning..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly and said, "May the world be one!"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly clearly didn't understand the word.

However, Xiao Ce didn't explain: "Brother Kimberly, you'll know when the time is right..."

Kimberly didn't press further when he heard Xiao Ce say that.

Instead, he turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Brother Ce, are you sure you trust me with the Dark Light brand?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Kimberly, "Of course, I'm very relieved... Your execution ability, your influence, your background make you the best candidate..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly laughed and said, "Then aren't you afraid? I'm not just pretending to kick you out, I'm really kicking you out... That's a huge benefit."

Xiao Ce burst out laughing after hearing Kimberly's words.

Kimberly looked at Xiao Ce strangely.

"Brother Ce, what are you laughing at? Is what I said funny? I'm talking about something very serious..."

After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, "Of course I know you're talking about something serious. But, Brother Kimberly, have you forgotten my identity...?"

Kimberly was stunned for a moment after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then seemed to realize something.

He then burst out laughing: "Haha, I really asked an unnecessary question."

Kimberly then realized Xiao Ce's identity.

You have to understand that Xiao Ce was the man who controlled the entire East Asia before. He could hand over the entire East Asia to others to manage, let alone such a small, still-developing brand.

Xiao Ce looked at Kimberly and continued with a smile, "Of course, there's another big reason... that is, you have no interest in money..."

Kimberly smiled as well after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony... I really am not interested in money. If I make money, it's for you to make money too."

If someone else had said that, Xiao Ce would have been somewhat displeased.

But Kimberly's statement makes sense.

After chatting for a while, Kimberly let out a long sigh of relief and then said to Xiao Ce, "Alright, Brother Ce, now that you have this idea, I'm not worried anymore... I'll head back now..."

Looking at Kimberly's reply, Xiao Ce smiled and then said to Kimberly, "Brother Kimberly, aren't you going to ask how you're going to betray me later?"

Kimberly smiled and said to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, didn't you say that plans can't always stay the same? Even if you tell me now, we don't know how the other side will make their move... We'll just have to see how they play their cards... Besides, you also said there are loopholes in the contract, so we can kick you out later..."

"I've never done this kind of thing, but I've seen it all before... You often say, 'Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen a pig run, haven't you?'"

Xiao Ce smiled: "Alright, the best thing I ever did was cooperate with you..."

Kimberly smiled and nodded at Xiao Ce: "It's a pleasure to meet you too..."

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "Brother Kimberly, do you want to go back now? It's so late."

Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "Of course, right now we can't get too close, can we?"

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "There's no such thing... Don't overthink it, and don't be too deliberate. After all, the things I mentioned haven't developed that quickly."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly didn't hesitate and glanced out the window.

"Yes, it is getting late... I'll stay here."

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "Tomorrow, I'll go back with you..."

Looking at Xiao Ce's smile, Kimberly knew that Xiao Ce must have thought of something again.

"Brother Ce, have you come up with another great idea?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly and said, "Haha, Brother Kimberly, nothing escapes your eyes... Not bad, I have indeed thought of a good idea..."

Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "Oh? What's the best idea?"

Xiao Ce said, "I think this matter will definitely involve the management committee eventually coming to you. At that time, they will definitely try to coerce or bribe you... If you betray me then, won't you get another benefit...?"

Kimberly nodded with a smile after hearing what Xiao Ce said: "Brother Ce, you're really wicked... but I like it."

Kimberly then said to Xiao Ce, "However, I feel that if I agree to them, I won't be myself... I need them to go to my older brothers' agents. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for me to have my older brothers' agents come to me first, and then I'll agree?"

Hearing that Kimberly could apply his knowledge to other situations, Xiao Ce smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

"Haha, Brother Jin, as expected of you! You can even apply what you've learned to other situations..."

After receiving Xiao Ce's confirmation, Kimberly stood up and said, "If that's the case, I'll have to leave here again."

Xiao Ce looked at Kimberly with a puzzled expression.

Kimberly said, "I need to go through my brother's agents to discuss this matter, otherwise, I'm afraid they'll just refuse outright."

Seeing the hint of doubt in Xiao Ce's eyes, Kimberly continued, "They have received instructions from my older brothers that they will support you no matter what happens... they will support you unconditionally."

Xiao Ce was quite certain that those 'big brothers' from before definitely knew him.

Moreover, Xiao Ce was quite certain that he had seen him before.

"If the management committee contacts them, will they also refuse without hesitation?"

Kimberly nodded without hesitation.

"That's right, that's how it is..."

After hearing this, Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly and said, "If that's the case, then you should hurry up and go..."

Kimberly smiled and then left.

...

Boudica and her grandmother Eliza looked at Xiao Ce with admiration in their eyes.

Grandma Eliza said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, shouldn't we ramp up production here?"

Xiao Ce shook his head: "Of course not. Modern warfare is no longer about numbers... With modern combat methods and modern firearms, a force of a thousand men is enough to sweep them away. As for the rest, we can utilize the local armed forces!"

Grandma Eliza clearly didn't understand.

Although she didn't understand, Boudica did.

Boudica said to Eliza, "Grandma, do you know how many of the more than one hundred people we sent out yesterday who were killed?"

Eliza shook her head after hearing Boudica's words.

Boudica then looked at Xiao Ce, seemingly seeking his opinion on whether she could speak.

Xiao Ce naturally had no objections and smiled as he said to Boudica, "I trust the people you trust unconditionally."

Boudica's face lit up with joy and happiness after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Boudica then said to Granny Eliza, "We only used four people, or to be precise, only three people to kill. Moreover, they didn't go all out. If they had gone all out, the casualties might have been much higher."

Eliza was still somewhat surprised after hearing Boudica's words.

After listening to Boudica's words, Xiao Ce continued, "Of course, in a situation like last night, using our new Maxim rifles and the extremely powerful DP, a ten-man squad, positioned correctly, could wipe them all out..."

Eliza listened, somewhat stunned and incredulous, but without a trace of doubt.

Actually, if we damaged a few machine guns, we could just set one up at the entrance and start firing.

Those who are unarmed are just lambs to the slaughter.

The snipers positioned at several high points were completely helpless, unable to defend themselves or retaliate...

This is where Xiao Ce's confidence comes from.

The reason why large-scale production has not been carried out is quite simple.

Just like when we fought the Turks in the northern desert, we had what others had but not what they had, and we were better at what they had.

Once the design is leaked, the industrial levels of all parties will be roughly the same.

The advantage is no longer with him.

He will only be widely used when he can be mass-produced and manufactured in an assembly line.

Since everyone can do it, the competition comes down to the speed at which you can 'explode weapons'.

Although Eliza didn't understand everything, she grasped the general idea. It was about trusting them.

Eliza then said to them, "Alright, Boudica, Mr. Ze, whatever happens, I'll listen to you."

Xiao Ce nodded with a smile.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Targaryen Issa used the same method.

They did not resist at all, but cooperated fully.

They acted as if the guilty party had filed a lawsuit first, and went directly to sue them.

Moreover, they completely deny the accusations made by John Jonard and his associates.

At Targaryen Isa's prompting, they all said that the other side's people attacked first.

In fact, those involved in this group fight all understood that whether they were passively retaliating or actively attacking, it was a matter of choice.

This is a huge difference, so everyone is giving the same answer.

Anyway, William Armiten and Sean Jolton are already dead.

There's no way to prove it now that the dead are dead.

Moreover, judging from the actual evidence, they were indeed the weaker party, after all, more than a hundred people died.

Both sides claimed to be victims, and each had their own version of events.

This stumped the police chief.

After a relentless interrogation throughout the entire police station.

This case has made absolutely no progress.

Moreover, with so many people "surrendering" at once, it's impossible to arrest them all at once...

Even if they could arrest them, they couldn't imprison them.

Their police chief was also under immense pressure.

The management clearly told the chief police officer that he must investigate thoroughly and find the real culprit.

Because, although the city of Lingas was very quiet.

But all of this was the calm before the storm.

Everyone is watching and waiting. If this matter is not handled properly, it will inevitably cause a huge crisis of trust in Lingas City.

The chief police officer was in the police station's main conference room, listening to reports from his various police sergeants.

"You've talked about the investigation for so long, now we need your judgment... You also know the extent of the impact of this matter."

Upon hearing the chief inspector's words, the other police chiefs exchanged glances...

One of the sheriffs said, "Chief, based on our questioning and investigation, we believe this was a staged event by the William family. In fact, based on our analysis and the body distribution map provided by John Jonard and his group, according to normal shooting logic, it should have resulted in a large number of deaths, not just the Type 03 rifles."

"Moreover, with that kind of population density, it's almost impossible for everyone to get headshots. Although both sides claim there was a gunman, our investigation confirms that no one saw the gunman, which is very unusual."

"They all seem to be telling the truth, which means that one of them is lying. And to achieve this effect, it is very likely that a group of people in William's royal family orchestrated the whole thing. Someone fell, but no gunman was seen."

Just as one of the sheriffs finished his analysis, a tense voice said, "Sheriff Louis, your analysis is completely biased. We analyzed the bullet trajectory and the location of the shots, and those bullets were from the front!"
