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

"Although it's ridiculous to talk about this in a prison cell right now, many things, like building a house, are not easy to start with. Once you have a solid foundation, you can build layer by layer very quickly!"

Frank nodded: "Mr. Xiao Ce, if you're willing, I'm willing to work with you after I get out. Aren't we aiming for the same goal? You're rewriting the rules, and I'm going to destroy those twelve families! We should be on the same path, right?"

Xiao Ce smiled. Although what he said was somewhat vague, what Frank said was still very realistic.

After listening to Frank's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's good! Then let's have a pleasant cooperation."

Frank shook hands with Xiao Ce: "Mr. Xiao Ce, it's a pleasure to do business with you."

Xiao Ce then asked Frank, "Mr. Frank, don't you want to ask me about my plans while I'm in prison?"

Frank chuckled and said, "No need to ask. Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it. If you want my help, you'll just repeat what I say..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Frank, "Mr. Frank, you're right... My idea is actually very simple: what do you think the people here feel about the people in Lingas City...?"

Frank said to Xiao Ce, "Of course, I hate him to the core..."

After saying that, Frank suddenly realized something and said directly to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, you're not thinking of inciting the people here to rebel, are you? If that's what you're thinking, I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible, because it's simply not feasible..."

After listening to Frank's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Of course not. What I'm concerned about is whether, if we release them, they'll wreak havoc throughout the entire city of Lingas..."

Frank was somewhat puzzled after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Xiao Ce continued, more bluntly: "After I release them, I will give them weapons and send them to wreak havoc in Lingas City, to destroy everything here, and let them occupy this place..."

Frank listened to Xiao Ce's words and said, "If that's the case, no problem... I can contact the various bosses here... But you have to guarantee that they won't attempt a prison break, because it's simply impossible..."

Xiao Ce listened to Frank's words: "Of course not. What they need to do is take their weapons and leave this place, then go and kill everyone who tries to stop them. Kill them all, and rob all the rich people here..."

Frank nodded at Xiao Ce's words, "That's no problem... Your purpose in doing this is... You know there are quite a few people here, but if you really anger those twelve families, there won't be any good consequences..."

Xiao Ce said, "They won't need to stay long. Just ten days of chaos here will be enough. Aside from the British Empire's army, other countries won't have time to arrive. Believe me, once a riot breaks out here, the British Empire definitely won't intervene..."

"So, these ten days are enough for them to plunder. What I need to do is actually very simple: change this place... change everything here... make this city of Lingas completely vanish..."

"If the riots here last for ten days, everyone who can escape will have fled... leaving behind only ruins... I know this Illuminati; they hold meetings, they discuss things, and by the time they've finished discussing everything, it'll be too late..."

"When they've plundered their wealth here, those who wish can leave and start a new life. Those who don't want to leave, I'll go to the British Empire, and they can find a way to join us... Of course, all of this is voluntary..."

Xiao Ce shared his thoughts.

Frank said, "No problem... These people hate the rich and nobles to the core... I'll tell them, but whether they follow through or not is beyond my control... Besides, getting them to join you is almost impossible..."

"Once they've plundered the wealth of Lingas City, they'll definitely start over. Who would be willing to risk their life for you again..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Don't worry. You just need to tell them. They will naturally come to me when the time comes..."

Seeing the sly smile on Xiao Ce's face, Frank looked puzzled.

Xiao Ce said to Frank, "It's actually very simple... They will definitely suppress the riots at the beginning, but some cowardly people will run away, and as soon as their guards show signs of weakness, they will run away too..."

"Furthermore, before it begins, I will release some information to allow some people to escape in advance. Once it's the turn of the people under the city lord's management to escape, they will definitely sail away with all the ships. And all the ports will be closed. Without a large number of ships, these people will have no way to leave and will be stuck here."

"Of course they can use some small boats to get away, but there is a lot of wealth here. Most people are greedy and will definitely not want to leave with their money... If they don't leave, they only have two options: one is to stay here and hold out. There must be some smart people among these people."

"If they try to hold out here, they'll only end up dead. So, when that happens, I'll extend an olive branch, indicating that if they come to me, I can protect their assets and safeguard them... Won't they have no choice but to come to me?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Frank smiled and said, "Indeed...you're a smart man...but the British Empire will likely join forces with others in the future..."

Xiao Ce said, "So, I need your help with this. I need the people here to make sure that this is done in accordance with the will of the William royal family. They said that the William royal family instigated this riot... and that you should all take the money and go to the British Empire... something like that. Just make sure that everyone gets this message out..."

"When these prisoners take the money and go to the British Empire, do you think it will be useful for their royal family to explain?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Frank smiled and said, "Okay... I understand your plan..."

Frank said with lingering fear, "To be honest, the best decision I ever made was deciding to talk to you here today... It's really hard to imagine how terrifying it would be to have you as my opponent..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "But you're not that stupid..."

Frank, still somewhat admiring, said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, to be honest, I admire you very much... I didn't expect that you would dare to reveal your entire plan to me after knowing me for so long and exchanging only a few words..."

"What if I leak your plan? Wouldn't all your efforts be in vain?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "First of all, I trust my own eyes. I believe that anyone I set my sights on, anyone I can trust, I can definitely trust."

"Secondly, you and I are the same. We are both victims of this system. You don't lack money! My plan will do you no harm, only benefit you, so you have no reason to refuse me..."

"Thirdly, it's about trust! Once I consider you my friend, I will naturally always treat you as my friend... Trust is the foundation of friendship... Trust is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Frank smiled and said, "Okay! If you can really show me your sincerity as you say, I can sponsor you a large sum of money."

Xiao Ce shrugged, then said to Frank, "I said money is not a problem, and I wasn't joking! I don't need your money, your gold... The reason I'm seeking cooperation with you is because I think highly of you as a person and your experience. Cooperating with you is just a convenient thing."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Frank smiled and nodded: "I believe what you said!"

After hearing Frank's words, Xiao Ce's face showed a look of curiosity.

Then he said, "Oh?"

Frank said, "Because the plan you described truly doesn't require me to do anything..."

"Moreover, you are fully capable of doing the things you asked me to do, given your abilities! So, I believe in you! Of course, even though you trust me so unconditionally, I will still remain skeptical... Please forgive me for doing so. Because those twelve families will stop at nothing to get my money."

Xiao Ce said with a smile, "Frank, you can actually trust me unconditionally."

Frank looked puzzled when he heard Xiao Ce say that.

Xiao Ce continued speaking to Frank, "Because I will never inquire about your hidden gold. And you never need to echo my words. If I utter a single word, you can leave me at any time..."

When Frank saw Xiao Ce say this, his eyes were fixed on him.

Frank saw only sincerity.

"Alright! Good brother! Then I'll trust you unconditionally. Of course, if I find out you have ulterior motives, I won't remember your kindness. I'll say it again: I can give you what you want, but you can't ask me for it!"

Xiao Ce was pleased to hear Frank say that.

Instead of constantly guessing each other, it's better to just say it directly.

It becomes much simpler when smart people talk to each other like this.

Xiao Ce knew that Frank had faced many challenges and tests, so his suspicions were understandable.

After telling Xiao Ce openly, he was actually quite honest.

After exchanging a few words, Frank said, "Alright, Xiao Ce, although you hold a high position, I am much older than you, so I will not stand on ceremony and will call you Brother Ce from now on. You can call me Frank, or Big Brother, whichever you prefer."

Xiao Ce said to Frank, "Okay, Brother Frank, I don't stand on ceremony... Just throw away those rumors you've heard about me. They have nothing to do with me... I'm just your brother!"

Frank smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words and then said, "Alright, my brother!"

The two men chuckled, then said, "By the way, Brother Frank, I hope your brothers who bullied Jones Snow will apologize to him later..."

Frank waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal.

As he spoke, Frank waved directly to the prisoners who were covering their ears in the corner.

When the prisoners saw Frank waving at them, they came over respectfully without saying a word.

After they walked up to Frank, Frank glanced at them.

Seeing how intimate Xiao Ce and Frank were just now, they knew that the two of them had already resolved their differences.

The two men who had just provoked Xiao Ce were trembling with fear.

After looking around, Frank finally fixed his gaze on Jones Snow.

He then waved to Jones Snow.

Jones Snow noticed Frank's actions and a look of concern crossed his face.

But seeing Xiao Ce's smiling face, her expression relaxed considerably.

Then he walked up to Frank.

What happened next was what everyone saw.

Frank bowed deeply to Jones Snow, saying, "Brother Jones Snow, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done so many hurtful things to you before."

Frank then took out a cigar and handed it to Jones Snow.

"You burn my tongue too, then we'll be even, and we can be brothers from now on."

Upon hearing Frank's words, Jones Snow quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no!"

Seeing Frank's actions, Xiao Ce said, "Boss Frank, I didn't ask you to apologize."

Frank said, "I didn't know he was your underling before, but now that I've made a mistake, I should apologize!"

Jones Snow was practically terrified and quickly said, "Boss Frank, I accept your apology. But you were right to burn my tongue. I deserved it..."

Frank didn't mince words, simply saying to Jones Snow, "So, is this matter over?"

Jones Snow nodded vigorously, "It's over, Boss Frank. I didn't really take it to heart. It's over!"

Frank said to Jones Snow, "Alright, from now on, Brother Ce and I are brothers. You are his little brother, and also my little brother."

Frank then looked at the other prisoners.

You should know that these prisoners had all bullied Jones Snow to some extent.
