The liaison officer was also taken aback when he heard Yin Pan'er's words.

"This is our headquarters' badge, it proves my identity..."

Yin Pan'er took the badge and then began to examine it.

After examining it repeatedly for a while, he finally spoke, "How can you prove it?"

Xiao Ce only realized what Yin Pan'er wanted to do after hearing what she said, and he forced a smile.

Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, so the liaison officer from the Illuminati headquarters didn't notice anything.

Just then, the masked liaison officer spoke first, asking in confusion, "What do you mean, how do I prove it? Can't this badge prove it?"

Yin Pan'er said to the liaison officer in a serious tone, "What I mean is, how can you prove that this badge is the headquarters badge... I've definitely never seen it before! And I believe most people haven't seen it either..."

The liaison officer was completely baffled by Yin Pan'er's words.

Yin Pan'er continued, her face serious, "Mr. Liaison Officer, to be honest, I'm willing to believe you... but I truly cannot verify your identity. You could at least have our guild leader verify your identity, instead of just showing a badge and claiming you're from headquarters, that you're our guild leader..."

"So, if I just grab any random thing and tell you I'm from the General Management Committee, can I then give you orders?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, the liaison officer was first stunned, and then speechless for a moment.

Because Yin Pan'er's expression was very serious when she said this.

Moreover, what Yin Pan'er said was very sincere.

This led the liaison officer to believe that these words made sense.

However, he was only stunned for a moment.

He then said, "Agent Yin, the issue you raised is indeed... If that's the case, then I really can't prove the identity I'm claiming... However, I can only say that it is... You can listen to what I've told you before making your own judgment."

This liaison officer was actually an honest man, but he was easily fooled by Yin Pan'er's words.

Actually, the biggest reason is that Yin Pan'er showed great sincerity.

Sincerity is worth a fortune.

Yin Pan'er nodded when she saw what the liaison officer said.

Xiao Ce still greatly admired Yin Pan'er's wisdom at this moment.

Because Xiao Ce understood it.

Yin Pan'er did this in order to prevent the liaison officer from asking her to do something she was unwilling to do or that was not in her best interest. She could refuse or make excuses to let this person find Ed White and have Ed White prove his identity.

In this way, Yin Pan'er could buy herself some time. Moreover, the members of the Illuminati wouldn't notice anything amiss or point out any problems with Yin Pan'er.

If what the liaison officer said was correct, then there was naturally no problem, and she would follow his advice.

This is the difference between Yin Pan'er and Xiao Ce in how they handle things.

Yin Pan'er handled the matter with a more gentle and tactful approach, while Xiao Ce was more decisive.

At that moment, the liaison officer began to speak.

"This time, Agent Yin, your information was crucial; we owe it all to you. Therefore, the leaders have summoned the two presidents of the Illuminati and the heads of the twelve families to discuss how to handle this matter. Since you were a participant in this affair, we wanted to invite you to join the meeting..."

"That's all... nothing else. So, Agent Yin, you just need to go there and you'll know what's going on... Actually, it's just this one thing, I have no reason to lie to you about it..."

Yin Pan'er cautiously refrained from directly responding.

The liaison officer said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, do you think there's a problem with this?"

Yin Pan'er nodded to the liaison officer: "That's right, there is indeed a problem!"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, the liaison officer looked at her with a puzzled and suspicious expression. "What's the problem?"

Yin Pan'er then said to the liaison officer, "I'm not sure of your identity right now. I even suspect you might be one of Frank's pirates... because he killed John Jonard, and I'm not sure if he's here to kill me..."

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, the liaison officer quickly waved his hands and said, "No...of course not...why would I come to kill you...I definitely wouldn't...I really am from the Illuminati headquarters...you have to believe me..."

Yin Pan'er said to the liaison officer, "I believe this isn't something that can be said in a few words... You said they want to see me, could you tell me the location?"

The liaison officer shook his head firmly: "No..."

Yin Pan'er still resorted to her ultimate weapon: sincerity. Looking at the liaison officer, she said, "Mr. Liaison Officer, do you think... I can trust you? Put yourself in my shoes..."

Seeing Yin Pan'er's expression, the liaison officer instantly looked embarrassed and said, "Acting Manager Yin, although I don't know how to explain it, it's really like that..."

Yin Pan'er then said to the liaison officer, "To be honest, sir, I'm willing to trust you... but please forgive me for what you've said... I need to think about it carefully..."

Although Yin Pan'er was questioning the liaison officer, at this moment, the liaison officer nodded and said, "I understand... but could you please hurry? This matter is quite urgent."

"Besides, it wasn't that I intentionally hid it from you. I just took you to a designated location, and then someone else took you to the meeting place. After all, you should know that the people coming this time are the most important people in the Illuminati. You actually harbor suspicions about them. In reality, they feel the same way about you..."

Hearing the liaison officer's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded, "Although what you said is very sincere, I still need to think about it carefully. Liaison officer, why don't you think about whether there are any other ways... If you can prove your identity, as long as you can prove your identity, I will follow you without hesitation!"

Hearing Yin Pan'er say this, the liaison officer looked distressed, unsure of what to say... He shook his head: "I have no choice..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "Alright, Liaison Officer, you should go and rest first. No matter what, I will give you a satisfactory answer, okay?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, the liaison officer nodded.

Then he looked at Xiaoyue to the side.

Xiaoyue stepped forward, gestured for the liaison officer to proceed, and led him away.

After taking the liaison officer away, Xiao Ce gave Yin Pan'er a thumbs up.

Yin Pan'er smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Your Highness, are you going to praise me again?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Not bad. The way you handle things achieves your goals without offending anyone... You're clever..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said, "Your Highness, it's just that this person is easy to deal with. It seems you already know my actions and my purpose... What do you think?"

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Have you already made up your mind?"

Yin Pan'er nodded to Xiao Ce: "That's right, Your Highness. Actually, you could tell from this liaison officer. He should be someone from the so-called headquarters... This time, it might be an opportunity for us..."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "So, do you want to go?"

Yin Pan'er nodded to Xiao Ce: "That's right... Actually, I still want to go..."

Xiao Ce nodded to Yin Pan'er: "Then let's go..."

Seeing Xiao Ce agree so readily, Yin Pan'er asked in surprise, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid? If there's a problem over there, we'll be in great danger..."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "We've been overcoming obstacles all along, haven't we? The paths we've walked have been fraught with danger, but we've made it through, haven't we? And clearly, this one will be even more problematic... I think this is an opportunity..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, do you support us going together?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "However, it would be best if there were one condition!"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the two of them immediately smiled at each other.

"Should we wait for the void to come?"

The two of them said it almost in unison.

Upon hearing what each other said, the two of them burst out laughing at the same time.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "What if Xu Kong doesn't return..."

Xiao Ce smiled helplessly, then said, "Even if we weren't coming back, we'd still be going together, right? Besides, this void should be able to find our location at any time..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er nodded and then said, "That's right, Your Highness, that's true. This void is always unpredictable, always appearing in unexpected places... Shall we prepare to set off? What about this way..."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "It's alright. It's Granny Eliza who's in charge of Wolong Manor. As for Targaryen Eliza and William Cam, as long as the Shadow Guards are around, they can't cause any trouble."

"As for those nobles and people here, they're actually more concerned with their own interests... Boudica, being from here, certainly understands this better than we do. And, judging from our journey here, Boudica's mother, Lady Brian, still wields considerable influence..."

"Besides, Boudica is quite capable; I think she can handle things here. After all, she's been with us all this way, and even just looking at things, she understands many things..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "Then shall we go?"

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Weren't we just trying to fool them? We were just looking for a good opportunity, and look, everything just fell into place so naturally..."

Yin Pan'er nodded.

Xiao Ce noticed the subtle unease in Yin Pan'er's eyes.

Xiao Ce took Yin Pan'er's hand and said, "Don't be afraid... Actually, after we came here, we understood what these foreigners were all about! These Illuminati are all paper tigers. They relied on weapons that shouldn't be available here to allow them to rise so quickly."

"So these people are far inferior to us in terms of intelligence and strategy! Don't worry, when it comes to brains, they are no match for me."

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, Yin Pan'er, who was standing to the side, was still a little worried.

However, this time, Yin Pan'er didn't keep it to herself.

Instead, he spoke directly to Xiao Ce, saying, "Your Highness, I'm worried now. Do you think those people from the Illuminati headquarters might be connected to that person who claims to be you?"

Xiao Ce shook his head firmly: "I think it's unlikely..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's confident answer, Yin Pan'er asked, "Why are you so sure...?"

Xiao Ce said, "That person who claims to be mine, if he really has that kind of strength... then asking you to help me is pointless... he definitely doesn't belong to the same faction..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce directly took Yin Pan'er's hand and said, "Pan'er, don't be nervous... I'm here... We have to face anything together! Don't worry..."

Yin Pan'er nodded.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Ce, seeing that Yin Pan'er had agreed, was about to go find Boudica.

Boudica was so busy that she couldn't find anyone; there were indeed countless matters to attend to from all sides.

Boudica watched as Xiao Ce came to find her.

Boudica then sent the people who came to see her away for the time being.

Then they invited Xiao Ce inside...

After inviting Xiao Ce inside, Xiao Ce had just sat down when he said, "Queen Boudica, have I disturbed you?"

Boudica's slightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed upon hearing Xiao Ce's joke, and she smiled and said:

"Ce, are you looking for me because you're leaving?"

After hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Boudica smiled and said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, no matter what, I've been following you for so long... What you did the other day was clearly paving the way for me... And I know even better that you're not someone who can sit still..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Boudica and then said, "Haha, not bad, Boudica, you really know me well... Alright, I'm leaving now!"

Boudica nodded, stood up, and gave Xiao Ce a hug: "Ce, go ahead without worry... I'll take care of everything here! I won't let your efforts be in vain..."
