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

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, the four council members smiled and said, "Indeed, the rumors are true... Mr. Xiao Ce, you really are a smart man... It seems that with your intelligence, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."

After listening to the words of the four councilors, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "So, you want to cooperate with me?"

The four councilors nodded with a smile: "That's right!"

Xiao Ce was still somewhat surprised by what the Fourth Councilor said. He then said, "We should be rivals now. Since you know about my relationship with Frank, you should know that what I'm doing is aimed at subverting you. Therefore, we can't cooperate under any circumstances."

Hearing Xiao Ce's words, the Fourth Master shook his head and said, "Of course not. Actually, the reason we didn't get along before was because of a misunderstanding. Moreover, there are no irreconcilable conflicts between you in East Asia or with our Western world...isn't that right?"

Hearing what the Fourth Grand Master said, Xiao Ce showed an ambiguous expression: "That's not true. Actually, you previously used those Japanese pirates to persecute our country and plunged it into internal strife and chaos for a long time... Fortunately, the heavens blessed Xiao Kingdom, which allowed our country to catch its breath... So, these conflicts can't be considered irreconcilable conflicts, can they?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, the Fourth Master smiled and said, "Of course, this is a matter of the past. Moreover, as far as I know, although this matter was actually carried out under the shadow of our Illuminati, it was the Japanese who carried it out. And from a certain perspective, we also promoted the unification of East Asia. Do you acknowledge that?"

Xiao Ce smiled helplessly: "That's true, but..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, the Fourth Master continued, "Xiao Ce, that's enough. I'm not asking you to forgive the past... Rather, we need to look to the future. In your Xiao Kingdom, isn't there a saying: 'An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind'?"

Xiao Ce was visibly surprised after hearing the Fourth Grand Councilor's words: "That's right, there is indeed such a saying... So, the cooperation you're talking about means you want me to give up my revolution against your West?"

The four councilors shook their heads: "That's not it!"

Xiao Ce was even more confused after hearing what the Four Pivots said.

He addressed the four council members directly, saying, "That is..."

The fourth council member said to Xiao Ce, "Actually, there was nothing wrong with you having Frank address the issues surrounding the Illuminati..."

The fourth councilor paused, but Xiao Ce did not interrupt him.

Instead, they always listened attentively.

After a pause, the Fourth Master did indeed continue speaking.

"Actually, you should know very well that a country or even an organization is the same. When a country has just been overthrown and an order and system have just been established, everything is bound to be good."

"However, the longer a country lasts, the longer an order and system operate, the more problems and loopholes will inevitably emerge... And these problems and loopholes will be exploited by others. If someone makes timely adjustments and repairs, things might be better."

"However, these systems breed many vested interest groups, and no matter how they are revised, there will be problems... Although revisions are being made, it is still easy to go astray, which has led to everyone gradually deviating from the original goal... So this is the current situation. In fact, we are also aware of the problems within the Illuminati."

"However, often the internal situation here is very complex and difficult to correct, making it easy for problems to arise. After all, once we start dealing with them, a problem is bound to emerge: everyone will be in a state of panic, and then the organization will fall apart. So it can't be changed, and it can't be changed, so it just continues like this..."

The four key figures spoke to Xiao Ce in a roundabout way, but Xiao Ce was no fool.

I immediately understood the implied meaning in those words.

Xiao Ce said to the four councilors, "So, you want to use us to clean up your mess? To use someone else to do your dirty work?"

Xiao Ce spoke very directly, and the four strategists smiled broadly after hearing his words.

Although he didn't remove his mask, his laughter alone made you feel that he was quite happy.

After laughing loudly twice, the fourth council member said to Xiao Ce, "Indeed, Xiao Ce, it's easier to talk to smart people. That's true, that's my purpose, but using someone else to do the dirty work isn't appropriate. We need you to help us purge some of the corrupt elements within the Illuminati..."

Xiao Ce looked at the four council members and asked, "What benefits will I get from doing this?"

The fourth council member said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, based on my understanding of you, you are not the kind of person with strong ambition and desire. You have done so much because you have been pushed to this position along the way. You have been forced into this situation by others, haven't you?"

After listening to the Fourth Grand Master's words, Xiao Ce fell into deep thought, then nodded to him: "What you say makes sense, it does seem to be true... Fourth Grand Master, I didn't expect this. Although this is our first meeting, you know quite a lot about me?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the four council members still smiled and said, "That's right! That's indeed the case... So, what benefits do you think there are? Your benefits are actually very simple: don't you just want world peace?"

"We can bring peace to the world. All you have to do is purge those parasites from the Illuminati, and then you can form a new family, and I'll support you... Twelve families, ten families, or even twenty families, can all be managed according to your wishes... You can reconstruct the Western management model, and I'll support you..."

Xiao Ce said to the four council members, "If that's the case, do you have a list?"

The four council members shook their heads and said to Xiao Ce, "There is no such list... Even if you were to wipe out all twelve families, as long as it doesn't cause a major upheaval in the Western world, I would support you..."

After hearing what the Fourth Councilor said, Xiao Ce's expression of confusion deepened.

He then turned to the four council members and said, "So what are you after? Are you trying to fight with both sides? What benefit do you get?"

The Fourth Master smiled, then said to Xiao Ce, "Yes! Actually, for our entire sect, our ultimate goal in following you is the same..."

Xiao Ce looked at the four councilors with some confusion.

The four council members said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, don't you understand? You have established an East Asian alliance circle throughout East Asia. Isn't your position in this alliance circle equivalent to our association's position in the Western world circle?"

After listening to the words of the four councilors, Xiao Ce immediately understood what they meant.

"You mean, your organization doesn't really prioritize personal interests; you're weighing the entire Western alliance's grand peace strategy. So, what you want is peace for the entire Western alliance?"

Xiao Ce looked at the four council members and asked.

The Fourth Pivot smiled and nodded: "That's right, Mr. Xiao Ce. We actually share a common goal: world peace... I also believe that as long as we work together towards this goal, we can achieve it..."

Xiao Ce smiled at the four council members and then said, "Alright, I can do that! Let's have a pleasant collaboration!"

The four council members were clearly stunned after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce directly asked the Four Principal Directors, "Four Principal Directors? What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The Fourth Master said to Xiao Ce, "You just believe that? You believe what I said?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Not bad. Although I don't know how you found out everything about me... what you've said is indeed a good solution. Whether you're using me or have other ideas."

"Our current alliance is the best option I can choose right now... Of course, I know you all have your reasons for doing this... But it doesn't matter to me."

"I'll say it again: this is the best choice I can make under the current circumstances!"
