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

Ed White gave an awkward smile after hearing what the Fourth Cardinal said, and then nodded.

"Aside from Yin Pan'er and Agent Yin, you can see whomever you want..."

After hearing what the Fourth Director said, their side didn't say anything else.

He just nodded.

After everyone left.

After Victor King and his group left, they glanced at the people who had just demanded compensation.

The family patriarchs only needed to exchange a glance with Victor King to understand what was going on.

They didn't stop at all and followed immediately.

At this moment, after Yin Pan'er and the others were asked to leave, they were looking out of their cabin windows at the situation outside.

Specifically, Fak had been lying on the window looking outside.

"They're here...they're here...they're out..."

Fak's words still managed to entice them all to follow.

Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er both chimed in, then looked through the window.

"Are they allowed to visit each other now?"

"Yes, you see, they've all managed to go to their own rooms..."

"Clearly, they have reached some kind of agreement."

"However, judging from this situation, they are still divided into two factions..."

After witnessing this scene, Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, do you think they can come to an agreement in such a short time?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Definitely not..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er asked in surprise, "How can you be so sure?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er, then said, "Because they are clearly divided into two factions...and clearly haven't reached an agreement..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at Fak.

Fak said to Xiao Ce, "Sir, do you have any orders? You can tell me anything you need... I'll do anything I can without hesitation..."

Xiao Ce said to Fak, "It's not that serious. You just want to ask your Fourth Grand Master if there's anything we can do next."

Fak nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "I need to go out first and inquire. Only if the Fourth Grand Master agrees to see me can I go see him..."

Just then, Da Lei spoke up from the side, saying, "You guys don't need to rush..."

After hearing Da Lei's words, they all asked, "Why?"

Da Lei looked out the window and saw a person wearing a mask come out.

“It’s a close confidant of the Fourth Cardinal… He’s probably not here for me, but for you!” Fak said directly.

After hearing Fak's words, Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er exchanged a glance.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, if he wants to see me alone later..."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "I'll go with you... You should ask him to take me with him... You should tell him to guarantee your own safety."

Yin Pan'er asked Xiao Ce, "Won't this anger him?"

Xiao Ce shook his head: "I don't think so..."

Yin Pan'er wanted to say something.

Xiao Ce then said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, listen to me! I think there's something wrong with that Fourth Council Member... Moreover, from what I heard from Fak, it's also clear that there's definitely something wrong with this matter... Whether this person is even a Fourth Council Member is also a question..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "You mean an agent?"

Xiao Ce shook his head at Yin Pan'er and said, "If I were an agent, that would be fine... but I'm afraid I'm not even an agent..."

Yin Pan'er looked at Xiao Ce with some confusion.

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Yin Pan'er, "I'm afraid that one has really been replaced..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er's expression clearly showed surprise.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Fuck went over and opened the door.

At this moment, Yin Pan'er and Xiao Ce stopped looking out the window, and Xiao Ce stood up.

He stood beside Yin Pan'er and continued to perform his duties as a bodyguard.

After opening the door, Fak nodded to his confidant and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"

The confidant beside the Fourth Cardinal nodded to Fak: "Fourth Cardinal, I have come to invite someone over for a talk..."

After the confidant spoke, he looked at Yin Pan'er.

Yin Pan'er had already prepared her excuse and was going to take Xiao Ce with her.

However, after glancing at Yin Pan'er, the confidant looked at Xiao Ce.

"Sir, the Fourth Cardinal requests your presence for a discussion..."

After this confidant said this...

Everyone in the audience was stunned...

No one expected this to be happening!

Just then, Yin Pan'er asked the confidant who had come over, "Sir, you said you wanted my bodyguard...you're not mistaken, are you?"

The confidant nodded to Yin Pan'er: "That's right, the Fourth Grand Chancellor specifically requested that the guard who was just attending the meeting beside Acting Secretary Yin be invited for a chat..."

Yin Pan'er immediately tensed up: "This won't do..."

Hearing Yin Pan'er's direct refusal, the confidant immediately said to her, "No way?"

Xiao Ce said, "No, it's because I'm clumsy with words, and Acting Secretary Yin was afraid I would offend the Fourth Grand Chancellor..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, the confidant looked Xiao Ce up and down again, and then said, "Judging from your appearance, you seem to be more eloquent than Agent Yin."

"The Fourth Grand Chancellor just said that he only invited this gentleman; no one else is allowed!"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright, as you command... I'll go..."

Yin Pan'er's eyes widened when she saw Xiao Ce say that.

She seemed to be asking Xiao Ce why he wouldn't let her go alone earlier.

Now that Xiao Ce is going alone, Yin Pan'er also wants to go.

As a result, Yin Pan'er naturally couldn't go along.

Because that confidant was always by his side.

Seeing that Xiao Ce wasn't leaving first, the confidant showed absolutely no intention of leaving early...

Xiao Ce said to his trusted aide, "Sir, may I...?"

Although the confidant was wearing a mask, one could sense the smile on his face: "No..."

Xiao Ce gave his confidant a wry smile, then said, "Sir, I haven't said anything yet..."

The confidant smiled slightly at Xiao Ce, then said, "It means you can't do anything..."

Xiao Ce nodded, smiling as he gave Yin Pan'er a very discreet look, a look that put her at ease.

Although Yin Pan'er was unwilling, she knew that the overall situation should be the priority.

This was unexpected.

She had no choice but to stop saying anything.

The confidant gestured for Xiao Ce to leave, and then Xiao Ce went out.

Yin Pan'er looked at Fak anxiously: "Fak, what do you think he wants with one of my guards?"

Fak looked at Yin Pan'er, who had been very calm, and suddenly became very nervous.

He then said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, please don't worry... I think it's quite obvious that the Fourth Councilor has some doubts about what you said, which is why he wants to go and confirm with that gentleman earlier..."

Da Lei also noticed that Yin Pan'er was somewhat flustered: "Acting Manager Yin, Mr. Fak is right. Don't be nervous, he's just a guard. Why would a fourth-ranking councilor of the Illuminati, standing at the pinnacle of the world, make things difficult for us lowly guards..."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Yin Pan'er realized that she had lost her composure.

Da Lei continued to reassure Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, don't worry. His strength is no less than mine; he won't be in danger. Our strengths are evenly matched, but his intellect far surpasses mine... therefore, his strength is far greater than mine..."

Yin Pan'er finally calmed down, remembering what Yin Pan'er had said: "Concern can cloud judgment..."

She nodded, trying her best to remain calm.

After all, Xiao Ce was much smarter than them...

...

Meanwhile, in the cabin where Victor King was located.

Lüster, along with several family patriarchs who were demanding reparations from the four cardinals, was with Victor King.

At this moment, neither of them spoke.

They waited until one of Viktor King's bodyguards came in to make sure no one was eavesdropping before he did so.

Victor King addressed them, "Gentlemen, what are you thinking? Making the Fourth Cardinal pay you compensation?"

Rust said to Victor King, "Master, why do you ask? Actually, our families, initially under your agent's influence, suffered repeated losses over there, losses that were enough to make us bleed. This time, the pirates have even taken over; Lingas City has more than half of our wealth..."

"Actually, everyone is well aware of the situation. This matter is far from simple... If the leaders of the headquarters had a way to resolve it, they would have done so long ago. The fact that they haven't resolved it means they are unable to do so and that we are needed to..."

The patriarch of the Gallux family, standing to the side, said, "That's right, Lord Victor. Actually, listening to what Yin Pan'er said earlier, we should all know that Frank has someone behind him. He couldn't have accomplished this with just those pirates... Clearly, there's a powerful force behind him... and that force might be unknown to us..."

"So, we should take advantage of any opportunity we can now... Who knows what the future holds? You see, the Illuminati initially rose to power because they possessed firearms and subsequently supported us, allowing us to gradually gain control over various countries. Now, if the Freedom Society has even more advanced weaponry, could they follow the same path the Illuminati took?... Therefore, getting our money back now... is the right thing to do..."
