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

Thomson was quite satisfied with what Gandhi said.

"And what else..."

Under Thomson's influence, Gandhi would say almost anything Thomson wanted him to say.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Gandhi kept shoving the blame onto the old woman.

Everything went even more smoothly than expected.

Only after Thomson had made sure everything was in order did he allow Gandhi to rest.

For the first time ever, I prepared some delicious food and drinks for him.

Such improvements were very useful for Gandhi, who had previously lived in what felt like a den of demons.

Before, Gandhi had no hope, but after this, he saw a glimmer of hope.

The next day, Morgana went to the arena early in the morning.

By this time, the corpses of Madame Villago's family had already been laid out.

Some curious residents had already arrived early.

Actually, when they first heard that a hundred people had died, they were somewhat shocked.

But these shocks are far less shocking than seeing it with your own eyes.

After witnessing it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but put themselves in the shoes of others and began to feel angry.

As more and more people entered the arena...

Meanwhile, the police officers from the Public Security Bureau also escorted the old woman and began their journey.

The old woman's strategy was obvious: if they didn't speak, the old woman wouldn't say a word either.

Although he was curious, he saw the more than one hundred assassins behind him being led away one after another.

Upon seeing the more than one hundred assassins, the old woman actually calmed down.

He even wondered if Luna, who was standing next to Morgana, had intervened.

However, as the carriage escorting them entered a gladiatorial arena, they overheard a chilling cry outside: "Death penalty! Death penalty!"

The earth-shaking shouts reached them, and they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

They considered many possibilities, but clearly, this was the one they hadn't considered...

Most importantly, they were still very afraid; what they feared most was the unknown.

Morgana had already warmed up once in the arena.

She gave a very enthusiastic speech, first mentioning how difficult it had been for Madame Villago to get here.

Besides, these terrorists are trying to undermine their Free Federation and instill fear in those who come to join them...

Then came another round of brainwashing, saying that the more ruthless they acted, the stronger the Freedom Society was.

They would support anything that the powerful and wealthy opposed.

"We must rebel! For our freedom!"

Morgana shouted.

The crowd began to echo, "We must rebel! For our freedom!"

"This time, I've gathered everyone here to join them in swearing an oath! A declaration of war! I fight for our people! I will kill all those terrorists!"

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

...

Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er sat down in a private room.

Listening to Yin Pan'er's highly inflammatory speech, she subconsciously glanced at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and then said, "Pan'er, don't look at me like that. To be honest, I haven't used this trick in a long time!"

Yin Pan'er looked at Xiao Ce with a surprised expression and asked, "What prince? Didn't you teach him?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Pan'er, do you think they can be taught like this? This kind of thing requires talent... and I can't teach it... even if I could, it couldn't be rushed like this."

Yin Pan'er was surprised when she heard Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "That's right, it really does require talent."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Furthermore, Pan'er, you seem to have forgotten a very important issue..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er looked at him with confusion.

Xiao Ce then said to Yin Pan'er, "She advocates for women's equality. If she didn't have such abilities, how could she have such a great influence in the West?"

Yin Pan'er nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Xiao Ce listened for a while longer, then said to Yin Pan'er, "Moreover, to be honest, my speeches aren't as persuasive as hers... This woman is a born leader..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er nodded and then said, "Your Highness, look, those assassins have come in..."

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

The assassins were now bound by heavy shackles and chains.

These things didn't exist in the West initially.

However, these things they have are still very useful for controlling prisoners.

These assassins came up one by one.

The atmosphere in the arena reached another climax!

They were all shouting that they wanted to kill them.

They even started throwing away the things they carried with them.

Morgana then called out, "Everyone, don't worry, we'll distribute the stones after we finish the procedures."

"Our staff are here, as are the victim's body. Please wait a moment, please wait a moment. I will give you a satisfactory punishment..."

After Morgana said that, the atmosphere calmed down a bit.

Soon, the assassins were all tied up, and then the interrogation team entered.

Thomson went straight to the interrogation table.

"This time, as the head of the Security Bureau, we are here to interrogate the cases of the assassination of General Frank, the massacre of over a hundred members of Mrs. Villago's family, and the poisoning of the entire population of the Free Federation in Lingas City..."

"First, let's bring in the first criminal in this case, Helen!"

Thomson said something like, "To be honest, the old woman and the assassins all instinctively started looking around."

They clearly didn't know anyone named Helen.

Of course, this name comes from Gandhi.

Of course, it doesn't matter what the old woman's name was.

Soon after the old woman was pushed up, it was learned that her name was Helen.

The old woman looked at Thomson with a mocking expression.

A smile was on his face.

Thomson, of course, would not forget this incitement of public sentiment.

He slammed his gavel on the table.

Actually, this gavel was given to Thomson by Xiao Ce, and Thomson felt it was still somewhat useful.

They continued to use it.

"Helen, what are you laughing at with such contempt? Do you think that now that we're here, we still can't punish you for your crimes?"

"Do you think you can escape from us, the people?"

Sure enough, Thomson said that.

Everyone started getting excited again.

At that moment, the old woman decided not to speak.

Thomson continued, "Helen, will you confess now, or shall we interrogate you?"

The old woman raised her head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. My name isn't Helen, it's Verago. I don't know why you call me Helen, or where you got these corpses to frame me."

"I was just laughing at you with disdain. I was laughing at all of you who don't even know my name, yet you're trying to frame me..."

“Before we came here, someone warned us that you were bandits and robbers, and that the so-called conditions of freedom you offered were just a way to lure people here. They said that once people came, you would kill them all and plunder their property. I didn’t believe it before, but after seeing what you’re doing now, I believe it!”

The old woman held back for a while. She knew very well that if he continued to be so stubborn, he would be in trouble.

Instead of being in a hurry, the old woman insisted that she was Mrs. Villago and even counter-accused them of doing this to seize his property...

Sure enough, after the old woman said that...

There were still some people in the audience who actually listened to what was said.

However, at the crucial moment, Thomson slammed his gavel directly onto the table.

Snapped!

"Nonsense! You're spouting complete nonsense! You won't tell, will you?"

The old woman said, “I am Mrs. Villago, and I have nothing to say! If you want to harm me or plunder my property, I have nothing to say. I was blind to come to you... and now you have harmed me, but I have no complaints... I was blind! Kill me or do whatever you want!”

"However, people, don't be fooled by them...they're hypocrites..."

This old woman's mental fortitude and adaptability are truly remarkable.

However, Thomson simply slammed the gavel in his hand and then shouted.

"Fine, you're just spouting nonsense to mislead people!"

Thomson then called over Coast Guard personnel to testify.

The approaching soldiers saluted Thomson first.

Thomson nodded, then spoke to the soldier.

"Soldier, please introduce yourself!"

The soldier gave a standard salute, then began in a strong voice, "Fellow citizens, I am an inspector from the Coast Guard, and I am in charge of the entry of Mrs. Villago's family. Therefore, I have met Mrs. Villago and her entourage before!"

Thomson then pointed at the old woman and asked, "Do you know her?"

The soldier shook his head with absolute certainty.

Thomson then pointed to a pile of corpses nearby: "Please go and identify those corpses..."

The soldier nodded and went over to the corpses to begin identifying them.

Finally, standing before a female corpse, he said to Thomson, "Chief Thomson, this is Mrs. Villago..."

Thomson nodded after hearing what the soldier said.

Before Thomson could speak...

The old woman, who hadn't seemed worried at all just moments before, now smiled slightly, her face revealing a disdainful grin.

Seeing the old woman's expression, Thomson said, "What else do you have to say?"

The old woman, with unwavering conviction, said to Thomson, "Chief Thomson, I told you, if you want to kill me, I accept it. You can take all my property, I accept it! But don't try this trick again!"

Thomson said, "The witness is here. Do you have anything else to say?"

The old woman scoffed at Thomson's words.

"A witness? Who do you think it is?"

Thomson said to the old woman, "Didn't you hear me just now?"

The old woman said to Thomson, "First of all, this soldier wasn't there to greet me when I entered the pass. Secondly, I've never seen this soldier before! I've never seen him from the beginning until now, and I don't know why he's framing me!"

"No, you're all in cahoots, you're all in cahoots... I plead not guilty! That person framed me, I don't know that soldier!"

Thomson was clearly taken aback by the old woman's shameless trick.

He said directly, "Really? That soldier's name was Peter. She signed all your entry forms? You're not Mrs. Villago, so naturally you wouldn't know..."

Thomson said, holding up a stack of papers.

"These documents will be made public shortly!"

The old woman wasn't in a hurry: "These are all your own people. You want to frame me with paper like this? You can't just forge as many as you want, can you?"

...

Meanwhile, in the room next door, Yin Pan'er watched the old woman's rebuttal.

"Your Highness, things are getting out of control, they're veering off course like this... Has Thomson been led astray?"

Xiao Ce looked around the arena with interest, then said, "This old woman is indeed quite interesting. No wonder she's a minor leader chosen by the Blood Nether Pavilion. I knew that if she were completely stupid, she wouldn't have been selected by the Blood Nether Pavilion. This person has some skills!"

Yin Pan'er saw that Xiao Ce had a look of amusement on his face and was not nervous at all.

He asked Xiao Ce directly, "Your Highness, aren't you worried at all?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Yin Pan'er said, "They've been misled by that old woman... They've been proving themselves right... Haven't they fallen into their trap?"

Xiao Ce heard Yin Pan'er say with a smile, "Don't worry, let's see how things develop... That Thomson is no nobody..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er suddenly realized: "You mean he's the warden of Devil's Island?"

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "That's right, the warden of the most heavily guarded prison in the entire West must have seen far more sophisticated methods than this. If he can't even resolve this matter, then I'll have to question his identity..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "That's really true, Your Highness. You're so composed..."

Xiao Ce looked at Morgana beside him without any hurry.

He then said to Yin Pan'er, "Interesting. Go and see Morgana. She's not in a hurry at all! It seems they all guessed Morgana's intentions."

Yin Pan'er only noticed Morgana standing to the side now; she hadn't really noticed her before. She said, "It seems they anticipated all of this."
