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

Xiao Ce looked at Kimberly and realized he wasn't joking.

And they were very serious, adopting a posture of fighting to the bitter end.

Xiao Ce had no doubt that if he really encountered difficulties or was in mortal danger, he would be able to help.

Kimberly is really going to do that, and it is because of Kimberly that Xiao Ce dared to do some of the things that followed.

"Okay, thanks a lot, Brother Jin."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly smiled and then left.

As Kimberly walked down, Kim Hulk looked nervous.

“Mr. Jin, they came here with ill intentions. And they’re acting very aggressively.”

Jin Haoke only knew a little about the extent of the cooperation between Kimberly and Xiao Ce, and did not fully understand it.

Therefore, Kimberly doesn't know what Kimberly will choose to do in this situation.

Kimberly asked Kim Hulk, "Did you see all the people who came outside?"

Jin Haoke nodded: "There are over a thousand people... If they try to force their way in, we probably won't be able to stop them... Should I take Mr. Ce to hide for a while?"

After hearing Kimberly's words, Kimberly smiled and said, "No need! Don't worry. If they want to break in, they can. They're just doing this to create a spectacle..."

After listening to Kimberly's words, Kim Hulk nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Instead, they went straight downstairs.

John Jonard and William Barton did not go to rest at this time.

Instead, he stood at the doorway.

At this moment, Kimberly wore a smile and composure.

He has experienced many ups and downs along the way.

This kind of scene was nothing to Kimberly.

"Your Majesty King William Patton, I've long heard that the King of the British Empire has arrived. At first, I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems it's not... Welcome, welcome..."

"President John Jonard, what...why did you all come together...?"

Kimberly, seemingly oblivious to what was happening outside, asked the two men with a beaming smile.

William Barton smiled at Kimberly and said, "Mr. Kimberly, it's all because the kids are so disappointing, causing me so much unnecessary trouble. We parents can't do anything about it, we always have to deal with it."

John Jonard continued, "Mr. King, there were some misunderstandings between us and Prince William and the others, and now that they've all been cleared up."

After listening to the two men's conversation, Kimberly smiled again.

He then said, "That would be best. Come on, you two must have come to see me about something. Come on... let's talk somewhere else. There are too many people coming and going here, it's not appropriate to discuss business here."

Upon hearing Kimberly's words, William Barton and John Jonard nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Kimberly followed Kim Hulk's instructions and asked for the best conference room.

Jin Haoke nodded in agreement.

The two men assumed Kimberly would mention the people outside, and they would take the opportunity to do so.

But Kimberly didn't say a word about it, as if he knew nothing about it.

This prevented them from joining the conversation.

They didn't know if Kimberly was pretending to be stupid or if he really didn't know.

But whether he genuinely doesn't know or is pretending not to know.

The two of them still wanted to let him know, which could be considered a bargaining chip in their later negotiations.

William Barton and John Jonard exchanged a glance.

It would be better if John Jonard spoke next, since it's from a positional perspective.

John Jonard still clung to his fellow Illuminati members.

At this moment, Kimberly and Kim Hulk walked ahead, watching the two people behind them who didn't follow.

Kimberly knew exactly what was going on.

However, he still pretended to be stupid.

"Gentlemen, why didn't you follow us? Is there a problem?"

John Jonard still had a smile on his face; he had already prepared his answer in his mind.

"Oh, right, there's something else, Mr. Jin, that I think I need to tell you beforehand to avoid any unnecessary trouble."

Hearing John Jonard say this, Kimberly feigned curiosity and asked, "Oh? What is it?"

John Jonard smiled slightly at Kimberly: "Mr. Kimberly, don't you know what's going on outside? Manager Kim should know, hasn't he told you yet?"

Kimberly was still acting very well, expressing confusion and bewilderment.

He looked at Jin Haoke.

Kim Hulk and Kimberly have been working together for many years.

With just a glance, they could guess each other's thoughts.

King Hulk immediately turned to Kimberly and asked, "Mr. King, I didn't have time to mention earlier that along with John Jonard and William Patton, there were also over a thousand guards..."

Upon hearing this, Kimberly immediately began to play along, looking at John Jonard and saying, "Agent, this is... even if it's to protect your safety, the security of our Lingas City doesn't warrant deploying so many guards, does it?"

Hearing Kimberly's words, John Jonard immediately broke into a smile: "Misunderstanding...misunderstanding...that's exactly what we're talking about. Although they came with us, it doesn't really concern us!"

"Oh? It has nothing to do with you?"

John Jonard nodded: "That's not what we're discussing here. Let's talk privately for a moment. I'll explain later..."

After listening to John Jonard's words, Kimberly smiled and nodded, then didn't press the matter further...

After moving to a dedicated meeting room.

After they were invited inside, both William Barton and John Jonard looked at Kimberly with calm expressions.

Both of them were a little surprised.

After all, Kimberly seemed much calmer than expected...

After inviting them to sit down, they were given water.

Kimberly then asked them, "Gentlemen, what brings you here today...?"

John Jonard said, "Mr. King, since you've gotten to the point, we won't beat around the bush either..."

Kimberly listened to John Jonard, then smiled and said, "Of course, I like to be direct."

John Jonard said, "We've come here to ask you to hand over the people."

William Barton continued, "That's right, Mr. King. The chairman of the management committee told you about their initial deductions. Now, with some corroborating evidence, it can be confirmed... those people outside are the ones who are ready to arrest at any time, led by Boudica, and that man named Ce next to him."

Before Kimberly could respond, John Jonard continued, "The board presidents said that you can take over the Darklight brand and are willing to cooperate. What we mean is that we have now reached an agreement on the ownership of Luminova."

"As long as Mr. Jin is willing to cooperate, we can achieve a win-win situation. Then we can catch the scoundrel who tried to sow discord between us and take advantage of us, and bring him to justice. What do you think?"

Kimberly paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "Oh? Is it confirmed now?"

John Jonard nodded: "That's right, otherwise these guards are all completely subordinate to the management council. They can't come here without their permission."

“Mr. Jin, we were actually partners to begin with. We’re just kicking out a bad guy. For the sake of our relationship, let’s talk about something else. You probably don’t know this, but if you don’t hand over the person, they’ll keep these guards stationed at your door.”

"Moreover, once they obtain conclusive evidence, they might even come in and arrest people directly. It's a certainty that Boudica and his group are involved in something fishy. Mr. Kim, there's no need for you to protect these two people who want to harm you..."

"If those guards break in, all the myths and rumors about the Gas Hotel will be exposed...right? We don't need to..."

John Jonard spoke with a smile, but his words were full of threats.

Normally, Kimberly would not pay any attention to them.

However, it is clear that Xiao Ce is now trying to push things forward.

Therefore, Kimberly did not argue with them.

Instead, he smiled and then offered himself a way out.

He then said, "You two say you've reached an agreement on the Luminova Castle?"

William Barton nodded: "That's right. Through the mediation of the management council, the arena is willing to give us all the Thors they obtained from the auction, after deducting some handling fees. And this castle also belongs to John Jonard and his group. John Jonard's agents have assured me that as long as there is an opportunity for a castle to be sold in Lingas City next time..."

"They will definitely help me acquire the castle... If the price is higher than the amount of sols I received, they will cover the extra cost... However, I believe that the previous incident was due to Boudica and her group stirring up trouble, and there was a misunderstanding. In the future, even if the price is higher than that, we will not ask them to pay... We can have a deeper cooperation in the future."

"Including, Mr. Jin, I learned from the management committee that you will be taking over the Dark Light brand. This is a great thing. We'll be friends from now on, and if you need anything, I can also invest in the Dark Light brand... and give you my full support..."

Kimberly listened to their endless empty promises, and his smile widened.

He nodded to them with a smile, "Thank you... thank you all for your kindness... I certainly welcome it. As for Boudica and Tsering, I always suspected their motives for approaching me..."

"The management had spoken to me before... and I made my stance clear! Now that he has a problem, I will ask him to leave..."

Kimberly's cooperation far exceeded their expectations.

William Barton looked at Kimberly with some disbelief and said, "Mr. Kimberly, you mean you agree to kick him out? But we'll have to wait until you give him his property..."

Kimberly waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Only if you arrest him will I have a chance..."

Upon hearing Kimberly's explanation, William Barton and John Jonard suddenly understood: "I see, we get it... Mr. Kimberly, thank you for your cooperation."

Kimberly said to William Barton and John Jonard, "By the way, gentlemen, there's something I feel I need to tell you. I can cooperate, but I need someone from the police station to come with some documents..."

William Barton and John Jonard listened and said, "No problem... Sheriff Frost, who is in charge of the case, is already waiting outside."

Kimberly laughed and said, "Then you could have just sent someone over directly... Why go through all this trouble? Didn't I already talk to Chairman Gaddafi about this? Does he think I'm a fickle and treacherous person?"

Hearing Kimberly say this, John Jonard shook his head: "No, no. Chairman Gaddafi originally intended for them to come, but King William and I have already reached an agreement, and besides, this matter was ultimately caused by us."

"Most importantly, we're also very interested in your Dark Light brand. Previously, because Boudica was in charge, we didn't have many opportunities... Let's see if there's a possibility of collaborating this time..."

"Don't worry! This time we're sincere. To be honest, the reason we used Luminova's three-year term to offset twenty percent of the shares before was because we didn't have high hopes for Boudica and his team, and that was intentional... But if you have the Dark Light brand, we will definitely show our sincerity. Let's join forces!"

Their approach was quite direct, and after listening to what they said...

Kimberly smiled and said, "That would be ideal...no problem, but I'm afraid it's not possible right now..."

The two men looked puzzled and confused when Kimberly said that.

"The Dark Light brand still belongs to Boudica and that Mr. Ce. We need to prove his crimes and then put them in prison forever. Only then will we have no more worries. Don't you agree?"

Kimberly's words made them smile with immense joy.

The two nodded: "Yes! Yes! Yes! We'll go and inform Sheriff Frost right away and have him come over!"

Kimberly nodded: "Okay, but I still hope they take a firm stance, otherwise it'll be difficult for me..."

The two men immediately understood and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, we've already explained..."
