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

Seeing Xiao Ce say this, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Your Highness, you guessed it?"

Xiao Ce nodded.

Just then, Kimberly watched in confusion, completely baffled by what the two were saying.

However, Kimberly understood the situation and remained silent.

Just then, Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and said, "Actually, at first, I also suspected that what you said before, that your Void was killed, was done by Brother Kimberly..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "And the locations are all in Wolong Manor."

Xiao Ce nodded: "So, I am now very clear about the several forces at play."

"The first force is Kimberly's gang of bosses. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, they also have robots under their command. The robot Kimberly brought today is theirs. As for their purpose in sending him to protect Boudica, I'm not entirely sure. However, I'm now certain that they definitely have combination robots... And this Kimberly boss, I'm almost certain now, is either the old prince or has some connection to him..."

Yin Pan'er nodded in approval when she heard Xiao Ce say that.

Although Kimberly had been confused by what he was saying before, he understood it very well after hearing Kimberly's words.

"Brother Ce, do you know who my elder brother is? The old prince?"

Xiao Ce nodded, then said to Kimberly, "This is a long story, but it's just my guess... I can't be sure right now..."

Xiao Ce did not follow Kimberly's explanation clearly.

Kimberly was a smart man, and he said directly to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, I just want to know whether they are your friend or foe!"

Xiao Ce was stunned by Kimberly's words, because he was also unsure.

Seeing Xiao Ce lost in thought, Kimberly interrupted, "Brother Ce, don't misunderstand... I didn't mean anything by it... I just want to know if they intend to harm you. Although he's my older brother, I'll always stand by you..."

Xiao Ce was deeply moved after hearing Kimberly's words.

Kimberly's gaze was firm.

At this moment, Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, I'm not trying to flatter you, I genuinely mean it... Although those other big shots have helped me, it's only after following you that I feel like I'm truly alive..."

Xiao Ce naturally understood Kimberly's feeling about 'living people'.

Kimberly's two mysterious older brothers did indeed provide him with a great deal of help.

However, while they helped Kimberly, they also imposed many restrictions on him. In fact, they made it clear that he was just a pawn, and that both sides were using each other.

Xiao Ce was different. He gave Kimberly a goal and a framework, within which Kimberly was free to develop.

Moreover, Xiao Ce had no demands of Kimberly, except that he would stand by Kimberly's side when needed in the future, nothing more.

Which is more important? Everyone will make a choice...

Looking at Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce said with surprise and excitement, "Brother Kimberly, of course I know that, of course I trust you, I know very well what kind of person you are. If I didn't trust you, wouldn't I have said that..."

Kimberly smiled and nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words, without interrupting him.

Xiao Ce continued, "Brother Kimberly, whether he's friend or foe, I really can't say. I can only say that I'm not qualified to be his enemy..."

Kimberly looked at Xiao Ce with a puzzled expression after hearing his words.

After all, in Kimberly's mind, Xiao Ce had always been an omnipotent person.

If Xiao Ce wants to do something, he will definitely succeed...

Now, Xiao Ce's words were utterly unbelievable to Kimberly.

Seeing Kimberly's incredulous expression, Xiao Ce said to him, "Brother Kimberly, do you not trust me?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly nodded and, without mincing words, directly echoed Xiao Ce, saying, "Mr. Ce, in my heart, you are a god... an omnipotent god... so, your statement that you are unworthy to be his enemy is utterly absurd to me..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly and said, "I'm not being modest or anything, I'm just saying this to you about robots, you should understand now..."

Kimberly nodded.

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "If they had such a powerful weapon, they could have easily killed me. Frankly, even with all the experts around me, they wouldn't stand a chance against them... So, I don't think I'm worthy of being their enemy. In other words, I'm not their enemy now... Since I'm not their enemy, then that's fine..."

"Besides, didn't I tell you there was another robot before?"

Kimberly nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "So, the other robot you mentioned is from another faction?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly, then said with a smile, "That's right, the other force is probably the one who wants to deal with me. However, the reason they haven't made a move yet is clearly because they have some concerns, so they haven't gone all out to kill me..."

Xiao Ce did not follow Kimberly's lead and mention that the other force was related to the original owner of the body.

After all, explaining this matter is quite complicated, and the other party may not even know.

There are also some things that don't need to be said...

The person who used Yin Pan'er before was the original owner of this body, including the mad Taoist priest from before.

Xiao Ce briefly followed Kimberly's lead.

Kimberly then said to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, do you think it's possible that there's a third force that also possesses the robots you mentioned..."

Xiao Ce was taken aback by Kimberly's question, then gave a wry smile and said, "Of course it's possible... Think about it, just because something didn't happen doesn't mean it didn't happen."

Kimberly nodded, then said to the robots placed in the room, "Shall I take this one?"

Xiao Ce nodded with a smile, then said to Kimberly with a smile, "Brother Kimberly, you can take it. Don't worry about it. At least from their situation, I've figured out that these people don't really want to kill me... but rather they're trying to play some kind of game with me..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly nodded, then said with a bitter expression, "Brother Ce, I thought you were going to be facing the Illuminati. But just facing the Illuminati is difficult enough... I never imagined your enemy would be even stronger..."

As Kimberly spoke, his eyes were still full of worry...

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly and said, "Brother Kimberly, didn't I tell you? We're not necessarily their enemies, much less their opponents. Wouldn't it be better if we did something like the snipe and the clam fighting, while the fisherman benefits?"

Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, it's definitely better! It's just that when it comes to this particular matter, even if I wanted to help you, I'm truly powerless to do so..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly, then said, "Mr. Kimberly, that's enough. This matter has nothing to do with you. You just need to do your job... In short, economic foundation represents everything..."

Kimberly smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "I understand. And Brother Ce, our promotion of this luxury item is going very smoothly. Not only is our promotion going very smoothly, we've already started selling it. Using the marketing methods you mentioned, everything is going very well..."

After hearing Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce smiled broadly and then said, "There's another issue you need to be aware of..."

Kimberly asked Xiao Ce, "Pay attention? Pay attention to what?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly and then said, "Note: do not use any currency, only use gold for transactions..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly nodded and then said to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, do you mean something big might happen?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Kimberly and then said, "That's right, that's indeed the case..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly said, "I understand. However, if war breaks out in the future, luxury goods like ours will definitely be greatly impacted..."

Upon hearing Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce smiled broadly and said, "Of course not, we should take advantage of the chaos to expand the Dark Light brand..."

Kimberly looked puzzled and confused after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "Kimberly, do you know what's most valuable in times of chaos..."

After pondering for a moment, Kimberly replied without hesitation to Xiao Ce, "Of course, gold, and food. But gold is clearly a better store of value..."

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "If in the future, during times of war, our Dark Light brand luxury goods can be exchanged for a full amount of gold, and may even increase in price. Once this news gets out, will people still think these luxury goods are expensive?"

Kimberly was a smart man. After hearing Xiao Ce's words, he smiled broadly, then looked enlightened.

"Brother Ce, do you mean we can buy back our Dark Light brand products during times of chaos? If so, wouldn't we be working for nothing?"

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "How can this be working for free? It's actually a very simple principle. Don't you only sell gold?"

Kimberly shook his head at Xiao Ce: "No, that's not it. We sold the local currency and then exchanged it for gold... Of course, it's possible to spend gold directly. But we do business in various places, and if we make it clear that we don't use the local currency, wouldn't that be asking them to sanction us?"

"However, we will use many special methods to exchange these currencies for gold."

"Of course, a portion will still be set aside to cover local labor costs, etc..."

After hearing Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce nodded approvingly and said, "Brother Kimberly, you're right, you're a professional. The gold exchange rate is relatively low now, but once a country is at war, the exchange rate for gold will rise. We have a large amount of gold stored up; with these reserves, when gold is valuable, we can buy it back at the selling price, depreciating it according to its purity by at least 90% or 80%. Even though it's only a 90% or 80% discount, given the exchange rate at that time, they'll essentially make a profit! For them, this is comparable to gold..."

"Our products are already highly marked! A 20% discount will cover the cost! We might not make a profit, but we definitely won't lose money! However, this war won't last long, and it's not just about you buying; once this situation develops, many scalpers will hoard..."

"Even worse, some won't act unless absolutely necessary. They just want everyone to know that this thing also has financial attributes... that it's not just a luxury item, but also a status symbol... Once this is established, everyone will flock to it..."

Kimberly nodded: "Okay, then should we have our people exchange them for gold? Convert our assets into gold?"

Xiao Ce nodded to Kimberly: "Of course, it's not just gold, but also food and various resources... There will definitely be a war in the West, but how it will happen and in what form is completely unknown..."

"But I know for sure it will happen..."

Kimberly smiled and nodded at Xiao Ce: "Alright, Brother Ce... is there anything else you need...?"

Xiao Ce smiled and shook his head, then looked at Kimberly and said with a smile, "Nothing else to say? What, you want to leave already?"

Kimberly said to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, to be honest, I really wanted to stay longer, but this period is also a time of rapid development for Dark Light. So, I still need to go... If it weren't for my mysterious older brothers contacting me, I really wouldn't have wanted to come here... Actually, I had some concerns before I came, but now it seems those concerns were completely unnecessary..."
