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

Xiao Ce smiled and continued to explain, "As long as we have the power to speak, the people will accept it!"

Morgana nodded.

Xiao Ce noticed that Morgana's expression was somewhat unnatural, clearly indicating that she disagreed with his idea of ​​using popular support.

Morgana's expression changed slightly, and Xiao Ce noticed it.

"Morgana, do you think I'm manipulating people? Do you disapprove of my methods?"

Morgana gave an awkward smile, then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, it's not that... it's just that I'm wondering if the people would have a bad feeling if they knew?"

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Morgana, you really are an idealist. It may seem like we're manipulating their emotions and using them. But ultimately, it's for their own good. All we need is for them to give their emotions."

"If our plan succeeds, they can gain freedom, equality, and all those experiences they've never had before. Would you say that's a good thing or a bad thing?"

"In fact, people's emotions have always been manipulated. Do you think it's a good thing that they are manipulated by positive emotions, or by negative emotions?"

"I'm going to state an opinion that might be a bit harsh, and you might not be able to accept it, but I think it's a fact..."

Xiao Ce paused as he spoke, while Morgana listened attentively.

She looked at Xiao Ce curiously, but did not interrupt him.

Xiao Ce continued, "Actually, most of the people are quite ignorant... They are a group of people who are constantly swayed by their emotions..."

"Therefore, who is manipulating them makes a world of difference. Frankly speaking, those of us who are thinking of them, who are doing these things for them, are fortunate for them..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana nodded in approval.

Xiao Ce smiled, then said to Morgana, "Morgana, don't take it too personally. I might say things that are a bit sharp most of the time..."

Morgana nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, you are right. I was indeed thinking too simply and too idealistically."

Frank, standing to Morgana, said, "Morgana, Mr. Ce is absolutely right... Actually, Mr. Ce is being too polite. In reality, many of those people are quite thoughtless..."

"They can't understand human language at all... Just listen to them, they can't tell right from wrong... Let's do as Mr. Ce says... Morgana, you've helped so many women along the way, you should know that many people who have fallen into such a miserable state have no choice but to suffer oppression. But a large part of it is because of stupidity, some because of malice, and some are both stupid and malice..."

Morgana nodded: "That is indeed true... Mr. Ce, you won't have a bad impression of me because of what I said, will you?"

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Of course not... Actually, as a team, Frank and I are a bit too much of a bandit... We need some of the qualities of women; too much rigidity leads to breakage..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana smiled and said, "Alright, Mr. Ce, I'll arrange for you to rest here... Leave the rest to me. I'll take care of the arrangements..."

Xiao Ce nodded with a smile.

Morgana and Luna then went to arrange their accommodations.

Frank asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, do I live around here too?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Frank and then said, "Of course, let's stay together for now."

Frank naturally nodded.

As soon as Xiao Ce and his group were led to the door, they remembered something.

He turned to look at Morgana.

Seeing this, Morgana directly asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana and then said, "There really are some things."

Seeing Morgana's nervous expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Don't be nervous...don't be nervous...it's not an order..."

"Yeah, that Gandhi bread you mentioned, isn't it delicious? Get me some tomorrow, I want to try it..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana's tense expression immediately eased.

"Mr. Ce, is this what you're talking about? I thought it was something else... Okay, if you want to eat, I'll go buy it for you right now?"

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce asked her with some confusion, "Morgana, didn't you say that there were very strict restrictions on the food you ate? And you're not even getting any portions today?"

Morgana smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words and said, "That's right, this thing has actually become an industry now..."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing Morgana's words, and then said, "Resell?"

Morgana smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words and then said, "That's right, it's reselling... Because people who want to eat it can't buy it, so they'll buy it at a high price. And some people, seeing the high price, will resell it. After all, you can't predict the market for this kind of thing..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "So how much does one of these breads cost?"

Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Generally speaking, it sells for ten taels of gold per loaf! Occasionally, there are higher prices... The current market price is that a certain weight of bread can be exchanged for a certain weight of gold; this is the commonly accepted price..."

Upon hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce said, half-laughing and half-crying, "So, damn it, she really does eat gold..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana smiled and said, "That's right, but these kinds of things are always a matter of mutual consent... It's not really appropriate for us to say anything more..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "Then, would Gandhi allow this to happen?"

Morgana nodded: "I actually spoke to Gandhi about this, and he said it too. He was just a baker; all he could do was offer relative fairness. And if someone could make money from his bread, it was a way of helping others. He always sold it at a market price... And he said that the odds of winning in his lottery were such that everyone who participated had a chance to eat it. He could only achieve relative fairness; he couldn't achieve absolute fairness..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce nodded and then said, "This Gandhi is quite interesting... By the way, Morgana, go get me a piece; I'd like to try it and see what makes this bread different..."

Morgana nodded.

In fact, Xiao Ce had considered that if the price was exorbitant, he would just let it go and wait until tomorrow.

Anyway, Morgana also has a spot available.

While this price is comparable to that of gold, it is still exorbitant for a loaf of bread, even though it's not low.

However, for Xiao Ce, this price was still acceptable.

Just then, Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, I'll make the arrangements. Please wait a moment..."

Luna then arranged for them to rest.

After settling in for a rest, Luna went to the black market to buy bread.

Although what he said actually made some sense.

Previously, Xiao Ce had asked Kimberly and his team to make luxury goods, but after working on it for a long time, they still hadn't managed to make them in Lingas City.

Instead, someone else accomplished it, and incredibly, it was someone who sold bread.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Gandhi finished get off work and went back to his residence.

His residence was in a Western-style building in the city.

This Western-style building is considered quite remote in the city of Lingas.

Back in the mansion, an old white man came to greet us.

"Mr. Gandhi, you've worked hard..."

Gandhi smiled and waved his hand: "I enjoy it every day... I don't think there's anything unusual about it."

Upon hearing Gandhi's words, the old white man said to Gandhi, "Your master has arrived..."

After listening to the old white man's words, Gandhi's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Master has finally agreed to come... I guessed he would come, and I thought he would come relatively quickly, but I didn't expect him to come so soon."

The old white man said to Gandhi, "Your master is already waiting for you..."

Gandhi, that little old man, hurried over...

Once inside the house, there was a person sitting upright, completely still.

The face was covered by a straw hat, from which hung a black veil.

In other words, Xiao Ce didn't see it. Once Xiao Ce saw it, he would definitely be able to recognize that the person was dressed in the Xiao Kingdom at a glance.

Moreover, this person was dressed in a black robe, which is also the attire favored by the knights of Xiao Kingdom.

He looked every bit the chivalrous knight-errant.

Most notably, he had an Arabic numeral 18 on his pocket.

Once Xiao Ce saw him, he would know that this person was no ordinary individual.

Even in this time and space, Arabic numerals have not become widespread.

Only in the Xiao Kingdom did Xiao Ce forcefully implement these Arabic numerals.

Upon seeing this person, Gandhi respectfully said, "Master, you've come! Did you hear the news that our mission was successful?"

The man in the black robe and conical hat saw Gandhi bow to him, but his face remained expressionless and calm. He then said to Gandhi, "Your mission was successful?"

The man in the black robe and conical hat spoke without a trace of emotion.

Gandhi spoke so calmly to the man in the black robe and conical hat, saying, "Master, don't you know? Just today, our people..."

Gandhi then recounted the events of their suicide squad that day to the man in the black robe and hooded hat before him.

The man in the black robe and conical hat nodded slightly after hearing Gandhi's words, then said, "Well done... The next step... you need to confirm..."

Gandhi said to the man in the black robe and conical hat, "That's right. Since the area has been sealed off... we're investigating everywhere, but judging from Morgana's situation, something must have indeed happened there..."

The man in the black robe and conical hat said to Gandhi, "Alright. I don't think those people will die so easily. Now, the Illuminati headquarters wants to join forces with Xiao Ce to deal with us... Our mission this time is to stop their alliance..."

After hearing the man in the black robe and conical hat's words, Gandhi nodded: "Master, what if they die? They're not immortal, so why do you think they won't die...?"

The man in the black robe and conical hat nodded slightly after hearing Gandhi's words, then said, "I can't say for sure... I just feel they wouldn't die so easily... Of course, there could be exceptions..."

Gandhi continued, "Lingas City always touted itself as the safest port and the safest city, but it was wiped out by a bunch of people from a prison..."

After hearing Gandhi's words, the man in the black robe and conical hat nodded and said, "When some people start to think they are invincible, it's a sign of their impending downfall... That's true. If they stumble and fall, it will be a great thing for us..."

Gan nodded: "Master, although we can't tell from the body itself, we can tell from Morgana's reaction whether she's really dead."

Upon hearing Gandhi's words, the man in the black robe and conical hat immediately showed a curious expression and said, "Oh? Is that so? How do you see this?"

Gandhi said to the man in the black robe and conical hat, "Master, if Morgana announces Frank's death, then Frank might not be dead... On the contrary, if she says Frank isn't dead, then it precisely indicates that there are problems within their ranks, and those people might be dead..."

After hearing Gandhi's words, the man in the black robe and conical hat asked in confusion, "Is there some significance to this?"

Gandhi nodded to the man in the black robe and hat, and then said, "That's right, Master. There must be a reason for this. Under normal circumstances, if Frank and Xiao Ce were attacked, and they were to announce it, the area under his control would definitely be in chaos. So, under normal circumstances, if they were really dead..."

"Morgana will definitely keep this a secret, stabilize the situation, and then seek a solution, such as rallying allies..."

"If they openly announce that those people are dead, then that precisely proves that there is something fishy going on."
