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

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er, then said, "That's right...you could say that..."

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, Yin Pan'er's expression showed even more admiration.

Seeing Yin Pan'er's expression, Xiao Ce said, "Of course, the design, manufacturing, and research and development are all handled by specialists... This matter has nothing to do with me... I'm just in charge... And as the chairman, all of this belongs to me..."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he turned to Yin Pan'er and said, "Pan'er, I don't know if you understand what I'm saying..."

Yin Pan'er nodded to Xiao Ce: "Of course I understand. It's actually quite easy to explain... As the ruler of Xiao Kingdom, you let the Tianji Academy research various weapons... You naturally didn't do it yourself, but you were the initiator and the coordinator..."

Xiao Ce gave Yin Pan'er a thumbs up.

Da Lei and Xiao Yue, who were standing to the side, finally understood.

Xiaoyue then said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, is that person who claims to be you also a robot...? Because based on my observation, that person and the void are similar things. Are you able to control that person who claims to be you?"

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Xiao Ce shook his head: "No... the system I'm talking about is just an artificial intelligence system, and the robot is just a carrier..."

Xiao Yue was completely bewildered by Xiao Ce's explanation. Yin Pan'er, who had already understood, said to Xiao Yue, "Xiao Yue, it means their bodies are actually the same, but the things inside are different. One contains the original owner's soul, while the void soul was designed by the prince..."

Xiaoyue nodded as she listened to Yin Pan'er's words, clearly understanding what she meant.

"I see..."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Let's not talk about this for now... I need to see that person before I can make a judgment... Pan'er, did you go and tell the people from the Illuminati?"

Yin Pan'er nodded to Xiao Ce: "That's right, I've already spoken to Ed White... Ed White and the others should have received the message by now. I not only spoke to Ed White, but I also spoke to Victor King, the president of the Western Association."

Xiao Ce listened and then said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, is your goal to get them here so they can come as a group to their deaths...?"

Yin Pan'er smiled and said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, Your Highness, you can actually see it too. The Illuminati seems powerful... but in reality, they have internal problems. If we let them know, we can launch an attack... and then catch them off guard..."

"My original thought was that you would definitely make them pay... I believe you must have already planned how to deal with them. Now that we're united, it's even simpler. We can join forces to deceive those Illuminati... Once Boudica controls the British Empire, we can lure them in and kill them..."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "It seems we're on the same page... I was thinking that they'll definitely contact you then, so we'll have Boudica and the others pretend that everything is still peaceful here. After all, only a small number of people know what's going on in Lundini City, so we can lure them in and kill them..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "Sure...no problem...Besides, we have time now. Even if the Illuminati finds out, it will still take about a month for them to coordinate, decide on a meeting, and then take action...Judging by the timeline, they should have known the news as soon as possible..."

Xiao Ce nodded after hearing Yin Pan'er's words: "That's right, Pan'er, weren't Ed White and Victor King with Lingas? Why did they suddenly leave..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "They each have their own base of operations. They were originally on the British Empire's side, trying to win over the British Empire. At that time, the British Empire mostly supported Ed White, the East Asia Chairman. However, they suffered a great defeat on the East Asia battlefield."

"This is what caused divisions within the British Empire, so they all want to gain its support here... Therefore, I've been looking for a suitable opportunity... but I haven't found one yet. Then you caused a lot of trouble in Lingas City, which made John Jonard and I unable to attend to that matter..."

"Of course, John Jonard is definitely dead now... and they must have more important things to do. Of course, I don't know the specifics of what went wrong. Although I'm an agent, I don't actually know everything about Ed White's situation... However, Ed White was very anxious before he left, so I think something must have happened on his end..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Regardless, we at least have a lot to do right now..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "That's right, I still need to go to Heisenberg."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Then I'll go with you."

Yin Pan'er looked at Xiao Ce, then said seriously, "Boudica needs you right now, doesn't she?"

Xiao Ce smiled and shook his head: "Boudika doesn't need me right now... what he needs right now is for me to leave him alone..."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he immediately asked Yin Pan'er to go to Heisenberg with him.

At this moment, just as Xiao Ce had said, Boudica couldn't care less about him at all.

Xiao Ce spoke to several of his shadow guards.

Then they went to Heisenberg.

Then he spoke again, this time following William Cam and Targaryen Isa.

...

Meanwhile, on an island within Ed White's base of operations.

In Ed White's study, an elderly man with a full head of white hair gently knocked on the door.

After he said that, he went in.

An elderly man with a full head of white hair bowed as he entered. This man was Ed White's most trusted butler.

Ed White looked at the butler with a puzzled expression and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

The butler bowed to Ed White and said, "Master, something has happened in Lingas City..."

Ed White slowly put down the book in his hand, then looked at the butler with a puzzled expression.

"Something happened in Lingas City? What could have happened there? Was our agent killed again? Or did something go wrong? No way... Agent Yin is the youngest and most shrewd of all the agents I've worked with over the years. She wouldn't do anything outrageous..."

After hearing Ed White's words, the butler looked surprised and smiled, saying, "Mr. Ed, you're right...it's not that our agent has a problem...our agent hasn't caused any trouble either...on the contrary, our agent has done a good deed..."

Ed White was also curious as he watched the butler speak so slowly and deliberately.

However, Ed White wasn't in a hurry.

He knew very well that the news coming from Lingas City was at least half a month ago.

The butler continued slowly, saying to Ed White, "President Ed, a riot has broken out in the prison in Lingas City. The pirate Frank and that 'Female Light,' Morgana, escaped and led the entire prison in a rebellion. It's said they killed many people, and now they've seized the Union Savings Bank and kidnapped many others..."

"Not only have they kidnapped many people, but they've also killed many. It's said they've already declared independence in Lingas City and are planning to overthrow the Illuminati, listing its ten deadly sins and attempting to recruit people from all Western countries. It's said that this time, their Western representative, John Jonard, has been killed..."

As Ed White listened to the butler's detailed explanation, he quickly pressed for an answer: "Did our Agent Yin send this message? How did she know I was here?"

The butler shook his head: "Indeed, Agent Yin sent a message, but the people Agent Yin sent out did not find our people. However, Agent Yin is very clever. He sent out many people to look for us and also to the Western President, Victor King, but obviously those messengers did not find them. So, they also sent messages to the Illuminati branches in other countries."

"So this message reached the Illuminati headquarters. This time, it was a message passed down from the headquarters... It's already been relayed to us and the Western President, urging us to handle this matter carefully. Apparently, representatives from the headquarters have come down this time... to discuss it together..."

Hearing the butler's words, Ed White exclaimed in surprise and astonishment, "What? The guild leader has come down? It's been so long since anyone from the guild has come down, except for when they helped me become the East Asia guild leader. Even after the East Asia's crushing defeat, they didn't utter a sound... How come some lowly pirates have gotten them to speak up..."

After listening to Ed White's words, the butler shook his head: "I don't know the situation either... However, you should prepare to depart... We are some distance from the Western Guild Master, Victor King... Perhaps Victor King has already set off..."

After listening to the butler's words, Ed White smiled and nodded, then said, "Interesting... Okay, then get it ready for me."

The butler said to Ed White, "Yes, Master..."

Ed White said, "Where should we meet up with the people from their headquarters?"

After listening to Ed White's words, the butler said, "It's the same old routine. Tell us to go to Easter Island and wait there; they'll send someone to pick you up..."

Ed White nodded, then said, "Alright, do you know how many people were invited this time?"

The butler shook his head: "I don't know... Aside from this, we don't know anything else..."

Ed White said to the butler, "Our agent, Yin Pan'er, must have sent us a message too. I gave her a location; did you send anyone to look for it?"

After listening to Ed White's words, the butler nodded: "I've already sent men, and they've given instructions to come find us. If all goes well, they should be able to catch up with us as we head towards Easter Island. Once we know who the messenger was, we might be able to figure out what's going on..."

After hearing the butler's words, Ed White nodded in satisfaction: "Alright... then you don't need to come with us anymore, you can stay here!"

The butler nodded as Ed White listened: "Yes, sir. I'll have my third grandson, Robert Jr., come with you."

Ed White smiled and nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking..."

After the two finished speaking, the butler, old Robert, went off to do his work.

A short while later, a very clever-looking young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked over.

He bowed respectfully to Ed White.

"President!"

Ed White said to Robert, "I even held you when you were born..."

Robert Jr. respectfully addressed Ed White, saying, "President, my father and mother have always told me this since I was little, and I've always been proud of it..."

Ed White asked Robert, "Have you left this area?"

Robert shook his head: "Reporting to the Chairman, our people will not leave Dragon Rock Island without your permission!"

Ed White nodded: "You're not surprised either?"

Robert said to Ed White, "Grandpa is stricter with us than with the others here..."

Ed White nodded: "He's pretty much as I imagined. Are you excited to go out with me?"

Robert Jr. said firmly to Ed White, "President, I'm so excited..."

Ed White smiled. "Are you scared?"

Robert said to Ed White, "Of course not... For the past eighteen years, my daily training has been focused on serving the Chairman one day. I'm ready! Ready at any time!"

Ed White nodded in satisfaction after hearing Robert's words: "Good! Very good! Taking you this time will be a great challenge, and may even cost you your life..."

Robert Jr. remained fearless: "I'm not afraid. We've been taught since childhood that we should be able to die for the Chairman! It's our honor to die for you!"
