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

"We know you have your reasons for not betraying that person..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Luna nodded gratefully: "Mr. Ce, you are really a good person. You are absolutely right... That person may have done many evil deeds, but to me and to our whole family, she is a benefactor. She did not harm us; on the contrary, she helped us!"

Xiao Ce was visibly surprised and astonished upon hearing Luna's words. "Then why did you ask me to save her? Besides, didn't you say your people were imprisoned on Devil's Island? Does that count as helping?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Luna said directly, "Mr. Ce, there might be some misunderstanding... My family members are not imprisoned on Devil's Island... They work on Devil's Island."

This piqued Thomson's curiosity, and he asked Luna, "Does your family work on Alcatraz?"

Little Luna nodded, then said, "Yes, they wrote to me..."

Xiao Ce asked Luna curiously, "Little Luna, can you repeat after me...?"

Little Luna nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "Of course, Mr. Ce, there's nothing I can't say..."

Luna had some reservations beforehand; she was genuinely afraid that someone might try to trick her.

However, now that she has discovered Xiao Ce, there are no more tricks up her sleeve.

They were very honest and straightforward; they didn't hide anything from Luna.

Moreover, all the things Luna hid now seem like a joke.

In fact, they knew much more than Luna herself.

This little Luna, she didn't hide anything anymore.

Because Luna knew that her benefactor was someone she didn't even know what he looked like or what his name was.

All I know is that it's a woman.

Xiao Ce and his group seemed to know who that person was, and it seemed that they had some connection with him.

Just then, Luna started talking.

Actually, it wasn't too complicated. Luna and her family were quite wealthy businessmen, but one time her father was framed during a business deal.

After being framed, they not only went bankrupt, but their entire family was also sold into slavery.

After they were put on a slave ship, their ship was rescued by her benefactor, Nie Bing.

Nie Bing initially did this to save some East Asians.

Because Luna's mother knew some medicine, they still carried some medicine with them on the ship, even though they had been sold into slavery.

As luck would have it, those East Asians fell ill, and her mother stepped in to help them.

So, after the rescued East Asian man spoke with Nie Bing,

Nie Bing rescued them on a whim, and after rescuing them, she asked her father about it.

Their experiences.

Luna's father said it outright.

Nie Bing then asked her father if he wanted revenge, and if so, if she did.

She can help, but there's a price to pay.

The price is joining them and working for them.

After a brief moment of consideration, the family agreed.

The reason is simple: firstly, Nie Bing was their benefactor.

Secondly, they knew that their enemy was a high-ranking nobleman.

If they relied on their own abilities, they wouldn't be able to avenge this wrong, not even in several lifetimes...

So his father agreed.

So Nie Bing began to make arrangements, including for his father.

Luna and the others also settled them in without wasting too much time.

Several months later, his father and mother returned, saying that they had already taken revenge.

And so his family did chores for Nie Bing.

Luna was initially placed in prison to make contact with Morgana.

Nie Bing's task for him was simply to make contact with Morgana; no further tasks have been introduced yet.

However, no one expected Xiao Ce to appear later.

This completely overturned things. In fact, Luna also received letters from her parents afterward.

Her parents said that Nie Bing had arranged for them to work on Devil's Island.

Little Luna also started asking about what Devil's Island was, until she later learned that Devil's Island was a prison.

She was initially confused, but she also realized that they really didn't dare to offend Nie Bing.

Firstly, they dared not, and secondly, they were unable to.

Of course, Luna was always referring to her benefactor, not Nie Bing.

This is Nie Bing's identity, which Xiao Ce himself adopted.

After listening to Luna's words, Thomson's expression clearly showed that he didn't quite understand.

Xiao Ce then said to Thomson, "Thomson, isn't this something that's highly unlikely to happen?"

Thomson said to Xiao Ce, "Generally speaking, it's unlikely. Besides, considering when Luna entered prison, it was before me. To be precise, it was around the time her parents went there. At that time, I should have been in prison... Back then, we couldn't possibly have used outsiders as our subordinates... So, what they said in their letter is highly improbable..."

Little Luna said to Thomson, "Lord Thomson, are you sure?"

After hearing Luna's words, Thomson smiled and said, "That's right, of course I'm sure..."

Luna said awkwardly, "Don't you even need to know her name?"

Thomson said to Luna, "Luna, because I had strict rules when I was running Devil's Island, outsiders could only be imprisoned there; they could never work there. So, your parents are probably imprisoned on Devil's Island, not working there... Of course, I have information on every prisoner there, so if your parents were imprisoned there, I would know too..."

As Luna spoke, she followed Thomson and told him her parents' names.

After listening, Thomson said to Luna with absolute certainty, "Luna, I can now be sure that your parents are not over there..."

After hearing Thomson's words, Luna continued, "Is it possible that their names were also changed...?"

Thomson nodded: "That's certainly possible, but your parents will definitely resemble you in some ways."

Little Luna nodded to Thomson, then excitedly said, "Yes, I look a lot like my mother..."

Upon hearing Luna's words, Thomson immediately replied, "That's even less likely... I know what you look like, but I'm pretty sure it's not someone who looks exactly like you..."

Seeing Thomson's confident demeanor, Luna was confused.

Xiao Ce said to Luna, "Is it possible there's a time difference? At that time, your parents were preparing to go, but they didn't know what Devil's Island was like. They definitely hadn't been there... Maybe they arrived at a transit point and wrote to you. And then Thomson might have run into trouble, which is why you didn't see him..."

When Thomson heard Xiao Ce say that, he nodded and said that it was indeed possible.

After all, the time Luna mentioned was very similar to and close to the time Thomson mentioned.

Xiao Ce then said to Luna, "Alright, Luna, don't be too nervous. I'll draw portraits of your parents for you. When I see them, I'll definitely rescue them, okay?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Luna naturally nodded.

Xiao Ce then said to Thomson, "Alright, Thomson, it's up to you whether you go or not. I'll probably prepare for a few more days and then I'll be going... Of course, I'm not forcing you; it's entirely up to you whether you go or not..."

Thomson nodded, then nodded to Xiao Ce: "Mr. Ce, I understand. I will definitely consider it carefully."

After hearing Thomson's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded.

"Alright, that's settled then. Overall, it was a very fruitful trip... Dismissed..."

Both Thomson and Morgana stood up.

Thomson left with a heavy heart, and watched him go.

Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce..."

Seeing Morgana's hesitant expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Morgana, you've been with me for so long, don't you know my rules?"

Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, do you want to send Thomson?"

When Xiao Ce saw Morgana ask this question, he directly asked Morgana, "Of course! However, as I said, it would be best if he went along... but it doesn't matter if he doesn't go."

Xiao Ce asked Morgana, "What's wrong?"

Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "General Frank and Thomson have a good relationship. If Frank could put in a good word for them, it might be helpful..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then waved his hand, saying, "There's no need for that... Besides, as Thomson said, if Alcatraz can move, then there's no point in him following it..."

Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, Mr. Ce, if that Devil Island can move, where are you going to look for it... How are you going to find it in this vast ocean?"

Xiao Ce said with a smile, "There's always a way!"

Morgana looked at Xiao Ce's expression and saw his confident look. She nodded and said, "Mr. Ce, I understand... then I won't go and tell Thomson..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana and then said, "Alright, no need. Thomson has his own ideas, and there's no point in talking to him about things he doesn't want to do. Besides, as I just said, it might actually be more helpful for you if Thomson stays here..."

Morgana nodded to Xiao Ce: "Mr. Ce, you're right... With him here, I can indeed have a lot less to worry about regarding things at the prison."

Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana and then said, "Then don't worry. Actually, I have a feeling that Thomson won't come with me since he hasn't agreed yet..."

Morgana's expression became even more puzzled and confused after hearing what Xiao Ce said.

"Mr. Ce, so you want him to come with you? I'm really confused..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana: "He should think about it himself; he'll figure it out..."

Morgana nodded with a puzzled look after hearing Xiao Ce's words: "Alright, Mr. Ce, you must have your reasons. In that case, I will not get involved in your matter. But if you have any suggestions on how to help, please tell me!"

Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana: "That's natural..."

Morgana was about to leave when Xiao Ce stopped her without hesitation.

Little Luna looked at Xiao Ce with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Ce, do you have any instructions?"

Xiao Ce said to Luna, "Little Luna, didn't you ask me to rescue your parents and your brother? You have to tell me what they look like..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Luna nodded and then looked at Morgana.

Morgana smiled and told Luna to stay.

Xiao Ce had Luna explain it to him, and then he began to demonstrate his painting skills.

Xiao Ce helped Luna draw portraits of her family members, but he didn't really want to help them find their family.

Xiao Ce felt that Luna's family might be close to Nie Bing and her group, or that she might get to know these people in the future, which would give her an excuse or some kind of advantage...

...

When Morgana went outside, she found Thomson still waiting for her.

Thomson was now completely confused.

Although Xiao Ce appeared to be very approachable, Thomson knew this.

It's their business if they act approachable, but if you actually take it seriously, then you're a complete idiot.

With this in mind, Thomson decided to talk to Morgana anyway.

Let's see if Morgana knows.

Morgana said to Thomson, "Thomson, is there something you need to talk to me about?"

Thomson smiled at Morgana and then said, "Ms. Morgana, you're right. I thought you and Mr. Ce understood each other better than I did... So I was just wondering if, if I really didn't go, would Mr. Ce... take action against me? Or..."

Thomson didn't continue speaking, his face full of concern.

Morgana shook her head first: "Lord Thomson, you can rest assured, it absolutely won't happen..."

Thomson asked with a puzzled look, "So do they want me to stay, or go with him...? I really don't understand. Did Mr. Ce say anything to you after I left? Ms. Morgana, could you tell me something?"
