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

Yin Pan'er saw William Barton with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, I'm not joking. Do you think I'm joking when you look at me like that?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, William Barton dared not respond.

Yin Pan'er then said to William Barton, "Your Majesty, I know what you mean... You're worried that if the Illuminati launches a counterattack, will they purge us?"

William Barton listened to Yin Pan'er's words with a smile, and then said, "That's right, that makes sense... Besides, I can't possibly associate with those pirates..."

"Therefore, it's impossible for us to be with them... Besides, what level am I on, and what level are they on! No matter what, I will definitely stand with you..."

After listening to William Barton's words, Yin Pan'er looked at William Barton with a meaningful expression.

William Barton looked puzzled after being stared at by Yin Pan'er.

He then looked at Yin Pan'er and asked, "Agent Yin, why are you looking at me like that? I'm serious... I genuinely think this way, and I really want to do this..."

After hearing William Barton's words, Yin Pan'er rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking to herself, "He really thinks everyone is an idiot."

Thinking this to myself, but with a smile on my face, I said, "Of course I choose to believe you. However, looking at you like this, I feel like you might not quite understand the problem. Weren't you supposed to be a smart person? How come you can't even figure out something this simple!"

"Given the current situation, they possess weapons far superior to those here. If you don't cooperate with them, they won't let you off the hook."

Yin Pan'er knew that William Barton had deliberately led him to say those words.

Yin Pan'er naturally cooperated and told William Barton what he wanted to know.

William Barton was overjoyed when he heard Yin Pan'er say this.

However, William Barton is quite shrewd and has some acting skills.

He suppressed his excitement and exhilaration.

Then she began to act, frowning, "Agent Yin, I understand what you're saying. So, I haven't explicitly rejected him. I'm just currently negotiating with him..."

Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded: "Then you did the right thing... What I meant was that you should cooperate with him, but it was just a pretense, a temporary measure."

William Barton had been waiting for Yin Pan'er to say those words, and then said, "Agent Yin, you're right...that's exactly what I was thinking. I misunderstood earlier; I thought you meant for me to actually cooperate with him..."

Looking at William Barton's hypocritical demeanor, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "That's fine then. Just do your job with peace of mind... When the Illuminati counterattack, I'll definitely prove you right..."

William Barton said to Yin Pan'er, "That's wonderful! I also have a plan I'd like to discuss with you, Agent Yin..."

Yin Pan'er didn't want to talk, but seeing how patient William Barton was.

Having no other choice, he turned directly to William Barton and continued, "Your Majesty, since you're here, just say what you have to say... You've already taken me in and allowed me to send a warning to the Illuminati, I'm grateful for that... Even if you've said something wrong, I'll pretend I didn't hear it."

William Barton's smile remained pleased even after hearing what Yin Pan'er said.

He nodded vigorously, "Okay, then, Agent Yin, I won't stand on ceremony... I'll get straight to the point..."

Yin Pan'er watched William Barton dawdle like a woman...

However, he still suppressed his displeasure and patiently nodded.

William Barton then said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, do you know anything about their weapons?"

Yin Pan'er nodded to William Barton and then said, "I know! I heard about the lively scene today. I was wondering how a bunch of rabble could be so powerful. Now it seems there's a reason... Are you thinking of getting your hands on those weapons?"

William Barton said to Yin Pan'er, "That's right, Agent Yin, I have an idea now, based on the information I've received."

"Their weapons aren't manufactured here; they all need to be transported from elsewhere. I was thinking, could you contact the Illuminati to control the ships at sea and put pressure on them? If we hurt them badly, their weapons and ammunition won't be replenished. Once they run out of supplies, they'll try to manufacture them here..."

"Once we master this technology, they will no longer have this advantage!"

As Yin Pan'er listened to William Barton's words, she thought to herself, "His wishful thinking is really quite clever!"

“Okay. No problem! That’s definitely a good idea.” Yin Pan’er figured it was just a perfunctory response anyway, so she naturally agreed.

Yin Pan'er knew very well what kind of person William Barton was.

Xiao Ce could crush him with just a flick of his little finger...

Seeing that Yin Pan'er agreed so readily.

William Barton looked surprised: "Agent Yin...you've already agreed?"

Yin Pan'er smiled, then asked William Barton, "What? Shouldn't I agree?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, William Barton quickly shook his head: "No...no...of course not...I just feel a little surprised."

Yin Pan'er smiled, then said to William Barton, "Did you expect me to agree so readily?"

William Barton nodded: "Indeed, Agent Yin. To be honest, I've had quite a bit of contact with the Illuminati's agents before... but I've really never met an agent as straightforward as you..."

William Barton's words were partly flattering, but a large part of his reasoning stemmed from genuine feelings and a truly heartfelt statement.

Yin Pan'er smiled and said to William Barton, "Didn't you forget the most crucial one...?"

William Barton listened to Yin Pan'er's words with a puzzled look, and then asked, "Oh? The most crucial thing? What?"

Yin Pan'er said to William Barton, "I didn't discuss profit sharing with you, did I?"

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, William Patton quickly replied, "Agent Yin, don't worry, even if you don't mention it, I won't forget you... When the time comes, these weapons will definitely be the most advanced... I'll definitely count you in..."

Yin Pan'er looked at William Barton suspiciously, then said, "You certainly won't hand over these arsenals to the Illuminati, will you?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, William Barton swallowed hard.

He then said somewhat nervously, "Agent Yin, this is what I'm thinking. I don't think handing this weapon over to the Illuminati is the best option. After all, the Illuminati does have internal problems! I think we can manufacture it ourselves and then sell it to the Illuminati at a discount."

"Of course, Agent Yin, I can give half of the profits from this arsenal to you and the chairman of East Asia. How they are distributed is up to you..."

William Barton seemed to be speaking very politely.

However, there was actually a trap set inside. If Yin Pan'er really cooperated with him on this matter, bypassing the chairman, then he would have leverage against her.

Of course, the profits and costs of this production will be in their hands, and how much they are paid is entirely up to William Patton.

Moreover, once he has established himself, possessing these weapons means possessing the power to speak.

It's entirely possible that they could be kicked away.

If it were a serious discussion... Yin Pan'er naturally wouldn't talk to him like that...

However, Yin Pan'er now knows very well that this will not happen.

Therefore, when Yin Pan'er spoke, she mostly gave perfunctory answers.

“Alright, Your Majesty, you really mean it! Then, let’s do as you say…” Yin Pan’er said perfunctorily.

Of course, he spoke very perfunctorily.

However, they still showed great enthusiasm.

Yin Pan'er was just being perfunctory because she wanted to say as few words as possible to William Barton.

William Barton was still somewhat bewildered, for no other reason than this.

Because Yin Pan'er was so easy to talk to, she agreed to almost everything he said.

This struck her as somewhat unbelievable.

Just then, Yin Pan'er smiled and asked William Barton, "Your Majesty, is there anything else you would like to say?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, William Barton quickly shook his head: "That's all... nothing else to say... there's just one more thing..."

Yin Pan'er shook her head at William Barton, then said, "Your Majesty, didn't I tell you? Let's speak frankly... It seems you still don't consider me one of your own..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, William Barton seemed to have received a shot of adrenaline.

"Agent Yin, with your words, I'm relieved. I won't beat around the bush anymore... I was thinking of the note you wrote, to prove that you knew and allowed my temporary, feigned cooperation with Boudica and the others..."

Upon hearing William Barton's words, Yin Pan'er's smile instantly turned ugly.

Before Yin Pan'er could speak, William Barton said first, "Agent Yin, please don't misunderstand... I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just worried..."

Just as William Barton was explaining.

Before William Barton could finish speaking, Yin Pan'er said directly, "I know your concerns, no problem!"

William Barton froze on the spot after hearing Yin Pan'er's words.

With an incredulous look on his face, he asked Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, you agree?"

Yin Pan'er gave Xiaoyue some instructions and then went to get paper and pen.

After giving the instructions, he smiled at William Barton and said, "That's right, you're right. What if something happens to me? You won't have any proof then, will you?"

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, William Barton quickly waved his hand, "That's not true... Acting Agent Yin, you can't say things like that... I'm just in case you're summoned by the chairman or have other tasks and aren't here. If someone tries to smear me then, I really won't be able to defend myself..."

"Agent Yin, you're incredibly lucky, how could anything have happened to you..."

After hearing William Barton say that, Yin Pan'er's smile returned.

Then, turning to William Barton, he said, "It really does take His Majesty the King; you still know how to speak. You're absolutely right..."

William Barton smiled at Yin Pan'er and said, "Agent Yin, thank you so much. You've been so cooperative and helpful; I really don't know how to express my gratitude..."

Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "There's plenty of time..."

As she spoke, Xiaoyue prepared paper and pen.

Then Yin Pan'er began to write fluently on the paper, and then took out a unique agent's seal and stamped it on the paper.

Then he handed it to William Barton and asked, "Your Majesty, is this alright?"

William Barton took it and examined it carefully.

After looking at it for a while and confirming that there were no problems,

William Barton's face immediately broke into a wide smile, like a chrysanthemum in bloom.

At that moment, Yin Pan'er really didn't want to deal with him anymore.

He yawned twice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. You must have nothing else to do here."

William Barton was overjoyed; everything had been accomplished today.

This far exceeded expectations.

So, William Barton smiled and nodded, "Agent Yin, no, that's all. I'm sorry to have bothered you today... I have nothing else to discuss. But Agent Yin, is there anything you need?"

Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "I don't have any instructions, just make sure you keep my presence here a secret..."

William Barton looked slightly embarrassed.

"Agent Yin, that's probably difficult to do... because quite a few people know about what you've been doing here... However, I can go back now and ask them to keep quiet... But, secrets don't stay hidden forever..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "It's impossible to guard against this... So, would it be okay for you to increase my defenses here?"

William Barton shook his head repeatedly as he listened: "Agent Yin, this is absolutely no problem... I'll arrange it right away!"

Yin Pan'er yawned twice more, then waved her hand: "Alright, Your Majesty, that's enough for today!"
