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

Xiao Ce smiled at Jones Snow and said, "That's right, you're right! Gold always shines... That's right, you still have your own ideas. I believe that with your own efforts, you can also make a name for yourself."

Jones Snow looked at Xiao Ce with a touched expression after hearing what he said.

Seeing Jones Snow looking at him like that, Xiao Ce quickly interrupted, "There's no need to be sentimental!"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Jones Snow smiled and said, "Boss Ce, I didn't mean to say anything sentimental, but there's something I've always wanted to tell you. I've never truly thanked you properly..."

After hearing Jones Snow's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Alright, I'll accept your thank you. However, if you really want to thank someone, I think you should thank God. Thank God for letting us meet..."

"I should also thank myself for recognizing my capabilities. Without your keen observation skills, I wouldn't be where I am today..."

Jones Snow listened to Xiao Ce's words with a smile on his face, and then nodded.

As they were talking, their shuttle boat had already docked.

By this time, people had already begun to line up and wait on the shore.

Jones Snow said to Xiao Ce, "Boss Ce, I actually told Boss Frank that you might not like this. But Boss Frank said that whether you like it or not is your business, and whether we do it or not is our business!"

"Besides, Frank said that everything here is a gift from you. Without you, we'd still be suffering in prison. You saved us..."

Xiao Ce nodded after hearing what Jones Snow said.

"Did all of them know to come and greet us?"

Jones Snow said to Xiao Ce, "That's something only Frank would know, not someone like that..."

"Boss Frank said he's taken precautions to keep it a secret. They only know they're meeting VIPs. If you don't want to show your face, you can wear a mask..."

Jones Snow kept watching Xiao Ce's expression as he said this.

They were clearly observing Xiao Ce's expression.

However, Jon Snow couldn't help feeling disappointed.

There is no other reason.

It was because he couldn't see any change in Xiao Ce's face at all.

Just then, Jones Snow said to Xiao Ce, "Boss Ce, if you don't like it, let's dock here for a bit... I'll have him withdraw his men!"

Xiao Ce waved his hand, then said to Jones Snow, "No need! No need for all that trouble. I'm not ashamed of anything, and given the current situation, I don't need to hide anything. After all, it was their kind gesture..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Jones Snow exclaimed in surprise, "You agree!"

Xiao Ce nodded, then said, "Later, just introduce Yin Pan'er directly, saying they've come to welcome her..."

Jones Snow nodded.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to use my identity here?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and said, "It's suitable, there's nothing unsuitable about it..."

"And they only said they were welcoming you. They didn't say who you are..."

"Even if people are watching, let them guess."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Your Highness, not bad, you really do have a way..."

Seeing that the two were speaking the Xiao language, they couldn't understand a word of it.

Jones Snow actually noticed Yin Pan'er from the very beginning.

However, Yin Pan'er and Xiao Ce were very close from the beginning. Jones Snow guessed Yin Pan'er's identity; she was probably Xiao Ce's woman.

At this moment, Jones Snow looked like he had something to say, but he didn't say it.

Xiao Ce said to Jones Snow, "Jones Snow, just say what you want to say... don't be so hesitant with me..."

Jones Snow glanced at Yin Pan'er instinctively.

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "This is my wife, Yin Pan'er!"

Seeing that Xiao Ce seemed to know him inside and out, Jones Snow said directly to him, "Your Highness, you have excellent taste! Your wife is truly stunningly beautiful..."

Seeing Jones Snow's expression, Xiao Ce's playful side was aroused, and he said to Jones Snow, "Let me introduce you to Yin Pan'er's other identity..."

Jones Snow asked Xiao Ce with a puzzled look, "Boss Ce, does your wife have any other identities?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Jones Snow, "That's right, he is also the representative of the Fourth Cardinal of the Illuminati!"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Jones Snow immediately tensed up.

After all, they were creating a counter-revolutionary organization to the Illuminati.

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, she paused for a moment in thought, then asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I understand what you mean by 'agent,' but what exactly is the position of the Fourth Director of the General Council...?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Jones Snow's puzzled expression, then said to him, "Do you only know about the East Asian president, the Western president, and those other presidents?"

Jones Snow nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, Your Highness! Aren't those two guild leaders the most powerful?"

Jones Snow, observing Xiao Ce's expression, continued before he could speak, "Isn't that right? Aren't they the leaders of the Illuminati?"

Xiao Ce said to Jones Snow, "That's right, they are indeed the leaders of the Illuminati. However, the four cardinal directors are the superiors of their East Asian and Western presidents..."

Clearly, Xiao Ce's words surprised Jones Snow.

Xiao Ce said to Jones Snow, "Alright, we've arrived!"

It was only then that Jones Snow noticed their shuttle boat was already docked.

"Okay, Boss Ce, and sister-in-law... sister-in-law... be careful..."

When Jones Snow learned of Yin Pan'er's identity, his expression became even more solemn.

The reason is none other than Yin Pan'er's identity.

Jones Snow naturally believed everything Xiao Ce said.

Just then, Xiao Ce said to Jones Snow, "By the way, after I tell you about this, you need to keep it a secret!"

Jones Snow nodded: "Boss, don't worry, I absolutely won't blab. I'll keep this to myself. Even if Boss Frank asks, I won't tell..."

Xiao Ce smiled but didn't continue.

The shuttle boat had now completely docked, and Frank led a group of people over after it came ashore.

According to Xiao Ce's plan, Yin Pan'er went ahead.

"Lord Frank, you went to all this trouble to pick me up. I told you it wasn't necessary!"

Yin Pan'er spoke first to Frank.

After hearing what Yin Pan'er said, Frank subconsciously glanced at her a few more times.

Although he didn't know Yin Pan'er, Frank spotted Xiao Ce behind her at a glance.

Frank was a smart man; he saw it at a glance and immediately understood.

"Welcome, welcome! It is our honor to welcome you! Dear lady, you must be tired from your journey! On behalf of the entire Freedom Society, I welcome you all!"

Frank picked up the conversation very naturally, even though he didn't know Yin Pan'er's identity, everything felt very natural.

Yin Pan'er smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work. It's my honor to be here as well!"

After exchanging pleasantries, he said to Frank, "Frank, let's go back and talk."

Frank then came to his senses and gestured for them to proceed.

They were then invited to the carriage that had been prepared.

After Xiao Ce got into the carriage, Frank said to him, "Brother Ce, welcome, welcome! You're not angry, are you?"

Once he got in the car, Frank stopped pretending.

Xiao Ce said to Frank, "Of course I'm not angry... You don't do things like this without a reason. If you did this, there must be a reason..."

Frank was astonished when he heard what Xiao Ce said.

He then turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Brother Ce, as expected, nothing can be hidden from you... This time, I intend to use you as bait..."

After hearing Frank's words, Xiao Ce looked puzzled.

Frank then spoke to Xiao Ce, explaining that although everything in their city of Lingas was on track, their people had discovered something.

During these days, many of them started behaving strangely.

These people are all locals, but they clearly have connections with the outside world.

However, Frank and his friends didn't know what they wanted to do.

However, their behavior has also started to become abnormal these days.

Nothing major has happened in their city of Lingas recently.

After thinking for a long time, Frank thought of something that had happened recently in Lingas City: Xiao Ce and the others were coming back.

Frank had also used himself and Morgana as bait, but it seems that their target was not them at all.

Therefore, they wondered if it was Xiao Ce.

He didn't know if those people knew of Xiao Ce's existence, but he still wanted to try...

As they spoke, the carriage started moving, and after traveling for a while, they arrived at a port inspection area.

There were now two women and several men.

Frank followed Xiao Ce's instructions and had them change into the clothes of Xiao Ce, Yin Pan'er, and the people behind them.

They changed into ordinary clothes and became a guard.

Xiao Ce still trusted Frank, so they did as he said.

After changing his clothes, Xiao Ce said to Frank, "Frank, shall we follow them?"

Frank shook his head: "No need, I'm afraid they're organized. You guys wait here..."

Seeing Frank's nervous expression, Xiao Ce said, "Since you've sensed the danger, you can just be on high alert along the way..."

Frank said to Xiao Ce, "I've already taken precautions, but my intuition tells me it's not that simple..."

Seeing Frank's nervous expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Alright, I'll do as you say..."

Xiao Ce said to Frank, "Then you're not going either?!"

Frank shook his head and said, "That won't work. If I don't go with you, people will get suspicious..."

Seeing Frank's state, Xiao Ce did not insist.

Seeing how nervous Frank and the others were, Xiao Ce felt that there was unlikely to be anyone here who wanted to kill him.

Xiao Ce glanced at Yin Pan'er subconsciously, noticing her serious expression.

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, are you nervous about something? What are you thinking about?"

Yin Pan'er glanced at Xiao Ce, then said, "There's no need for Frank to show his face along..."

Then, Yin Pan'er said to Frank, "Frank, you and Jones Snow should get someone to change your clothes...and you two don't need to come along..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Frank subconsciously looked at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce had actually seen Yin Pan'er's expression and had already guessed what she was thinking.

He then said to Frank, "Just listen to us..."

Frank said, "If we don't go with them, they'll become suspicious..."

Before Frank could finish speaking, Xiao Ce said to him, "Do you think it's more important to lure out those people, or your life...?"

Frank said to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, do you know something?"

Xiao Ce glanced at Yin Pan'er, who simply nodded.

By this point, the two had developed a remarkable understanding; a single glance was enough for them to know what the other was thinking…

Xiao Ce then said to Frank, "If you're sure, there have been a lot of unusual events in Lingas City in the last two days. We think they're coming for us."

Yin Pan'er asked Frank, "Brother Frank, when exactly did you notice something was wrong with them...?"

Frank thought for a moment, then gave a time.

This was the day after the Fourth Council member announced Yin Pan'er as the acting representative.

It's quite obvious that this matter is already clear.

After seeing Xiao Ce's words, Frank asked, "Brother Ce, and this lady, do you know something?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, we roughly guessed it, but it's just a guess. And it's pretty close to the truth..."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he looked at Yin Pan'er and continued, "Those people were probably after my wife..."

Frank looked at Yin Pan'er with surprise; he knew the two had a close relationship.

However, Frank was smart enough not to ask any unnecessary questions.

Now that Xiao Ce had spoken up, Frank said in surprise, "So it's your sister-in-law... But, the person they're targeting is your sister-in-law? Who is she? Why would they go to such lengths for her... These people have been hiding very well; we had no idea they were involved..."
