Chapter 1323 A Shocking Reversal
Xiao Dingshan was genuinely frightened when he heard Xiao Ce say that...
Because Xiao Ce remained calm, he always felt that all of this was part of his scheme.
How did you guess?
Seeing Xiao Dingshan's nervous expression, Xiao Ce was truly at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
At this moment, Xiao Dingshan seemed somewhat uncertain.
Xiao Ce smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, sincerity is indeed the only sure-fire way to win.
"Because my people have been searching in Xiao Kingdom for a long time, they should have found it long ago, but they haven't found it yet, which says a lot..."
Xiao Dingshan nodded: "That's right... So, I'm going to open the Hidden Dragon Tomb. Are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Xiao Ce said to Xiao Dingshan, "Of course, why not? Besides, I'm also very curious... and actually, you're just guessing, aren't you?"
Xiao Dingshan was taken aback for a moment, then said to Xiao Ce, "Guess? What guess?"
Xiao Ce then said to Xiao Dingshan, "It requires the bloodline of the Xiao family's royal family to activate, and you're not even sure if I can activate it... You just think I might be different, so you want to give it a try, right..."
After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan shook his head and said, "It's not a guess, I think it's just that you..."
Xiao Ce said to Xiao Dingshan, "Oh? Because I activated the Star Network Hub on Lost Island, right?"
Xiao Dingshan smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "That's right, that's indeed the case..."
Xiao Ce said to Xiao Dingshan, "Alright, then I won't waste my breath on you... Now, let me out."
Xiao Dingshan looked at Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce then said to Xiao Dingshan, "Uncle, I've already gone to such lengths... surely you still don't dare? Fine... if you're afraid I'll run away, then keep me locked up here..."
Xiao Dingshan said to Xiao Ce, "Alright, I'll let you out..."
"but..."
Before Xiao Dingshan could speak, Xiao Ce said, "Don't worry..."
Xiao Dingshan was somewhat surprised to hear Xiao Ce say this, and then said, "What, do you know what I'm going to say?"
Xiao Ce nodded to Xiao Dingshan, then said, "This shouldn't be hard to guess... You probably want me to stop making things difficult for those people from the Slavic countries... They're all your people..."
Seeing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan smiled and said, "Communicating with smart people can save a lot of trouble...that's right..."
Xiao Ce said to Xiao Dingshan, "Don't worry. I'm still in their hands. This is their territory. Even if you don't want to kill me, if I push them too far, I believe they really will..."
"Besides, I have plenty of ways to deal with them..."
At this moment, Xiao Ce's eyes, which had previously held a gentle gaze, now revealed a hint of murderous intent...
Xiao Dingshan said, "Alright... let's go then..."
After hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Alright!"
Xiao Dingshan said to Xiao Ce, "However, don't try to play tricks on me. I'm only talking to you nicely now because you've shown intelligence. But if you dare to cause any trouble..."
"If you cooperate, I have the means to cooperate... Similarly, if you don't cooperate, I also have the means to not cooperate..."
After listening to Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "Don't worry! I understand..."
With that, Xiao Ce followed Xiao Dingshan out...
At this moment, Shahar and his entourage were waiting outside the door.
The heavy stone door of the ice cellar slowly opened with a screeching sound...
The dim, flickering firelight in the passageway outside eagerly poured into the supplies.
In the passageway, Emperor Shahar, Crown Prince Riz, and the pale-faced Eva all watched with some tension.
They didn't know what they talked about.
So they held their breath, their eyes fixed on the doorway, filled with both awe for the mysterious man and a barely perceptible sense of anticipation!
They eagerly awaited good news that Xiao Ce had been completely subdued or even controlled by some means; after all, they always felt that Xiao Ce was a variable...
They had no way to deal with Xiao Ce, but they were confident that the person in front of them had a solution...
However, when the door opened, the scene that appeared before them was like a thunderbolt, instantly shattering all their expectations!
What they saw before them felt like a bolt from the blue, as if struck by lightning.
The gentleman dressed in a brocade robe from the Xiao Kingdom and wearing a black veil hat was the first to step forward.
This was expected. But the figure that followed made Shahar's heart stop, Rhys's eyes bulge, and Eva feel as if she had been struck by lightning, almost collapsing!
It's Xiao Ce!
He was no longer the dejected prisoner he once was. Although he was still wearing that gray coarse cloth shorts, he stood tall and walked with ease.
Those deep eyes swept over the three of them in the dim light, calm and undisturbed, yet carrying a power that pierced their souls, making Shahar and Rhys instantly feel a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!
He was not only free, but also composed, as if he had just been invited on a tour rather than having just stepped out of their carefully constructed prison!
Why did Xiao Ce come out with that gentleman...?
They even tried to cover their faces, but it was too late...
After Xiao Ce left the cell, he scanned their faces...
"Sir...!"
Shahar's voice trembled uncontrollably. He bent over abruptly, almost prostrating himself on the ground, his face contorted with extreme terror. His expression was one of utter bewilderment as he asked, "You...you brought him...you brought Prince Xiao out? This...this is too dangerous! He..."
Rhys was utterly horrified. He instinctively took a half-step back, his hand on the hilt of his sword, his voice shrill and distorted: "Sir! No! This man is fierce and cunning! Quick! Men! Seize him! Sir, have you been bewitched by him...?"
He screamed at the elite guards waiting at both ends of the passageway, his voice filled with panic.
He was genuinely terrified; he knew all too well Xiao Ce's methods.
Now that Xiao Ce has been released, he knows that they were the ones who did all of this.
So at this moment, they can be considered enemies.
As everyone knows, Xiao Ce shows absolutely no mercy to his enemies...
The Slavic imperial guards in the passageway were also inspecting the area.
However, the two blue-eyed guards, who looked like they were made of iron, had already protected Xiao Ce.
This represents their attitude.
Just then, Xiao Dingshan, wearing a black veil and a bamboo hat, slightly raised his hand. With a simple gesture, he silenced Shahar and Rhys as if they had been choked. Rhys's hand on the hilt of his knife also froze.
A deep, steady voice, yet carrying an undeniable authority, emanated through the black veil, echoing clearly in the narrow, cold passageway:
"Don't panic. Xiao Ce is mine now."
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of the three of them!
"My people?!"
Shahar looked up abruptly, his face instantly shifting from terror to disbelief and despair. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Rhys stared wide-eyed at Xiao Ce as if he were a monster, then looked at the mysterious gentleman, his mind going completely blank.
Xiao Ce... the founder of the East Asian Federation, the supreme Prince Xiao... has become this man's man?
Shouldn't they be mortal enemies, adversaries?
If Xiao Ce were to become that gentleman's person...
What does this mean? Their betrayal of the Federation and kidnapping of Xiao Ce are nothing but a complete joke in front of Xiao Ce himself and this mysterious person who controls terrifying power.
Does this mean they are going to be completely wiped out?
The fear of betraying the Federation gripped them instantly.
Shahar seemed to have already seen the apocalyptic scene of the Slavic Empire being trampled by the Federal cavalry and the royal family being completely wiped out.
Rhys felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, all his previous smugness and arrogance vanished, leaving only a deep-seated fear and regret.
Eva was equally shocked. She looked at Xiao Ce, who stood calmly beside her husband, and a huge sense of absurdity and a deeper fear almost overwhelmed her.
How could he... how could he possibly submit?
What incredible reversal happened that she was unaware of?
