Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1467 - 1466
Previously on Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God...
Platinum Palace.
The royal dinner has begun.
The servants busily serve the dishes, each delicate meal prepared for the nobles laid before them, yet none are touched as everyone is in a state of shock.
The Queen had just introduced Lin Fan and recounted his experiences since arriving in the United Kingdom, leaving everyone stunned.
Meanwhile, Crown Prince Potter’s face had turned pale.
The Queen said, "John, tell everyone the truth about the aircraft incident. Who was behind the scheme?"
Prince Potter looked at John Parkinson, seemingly using his gaze to remind the Prime Minister of their previous clandestine agreement.
John Parkinson did not meet Prince Potter’s eyes, as if he had completely forgotten, or perhaps he had already made his choice long ago.
"Alright, Your Majesty," John Parkinson looked around at everyone and said, "After conducting a secret investigation, we have confirmed that the mastermind behind this incident is Tony Smith."
"Ah?"
Everyone revealed a look of surprise.
"Tony Smith, is he the spokesperson for the Smith Clan?"
"Smith Clan, oh my, why would he do such a thing?"
"It’s unbelievable, could there be a mistake?"
Prince Potter felt both disappointment and anger as John Parkinson had ultimately taken a stand against him!
"Heh, indeed, John, are you sure? No matter how I think about it, I can’t fathom Tony Smith’s motive. You must have gotten it wrong, surely you must have!" Prince Potter said, his eyes fixed on John Parkinson.
If looks could kill, then the knife was already against the Prime Minister’s throat.
John Parkinson still did not look at Prince Potter and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, our investigation is thorough, and we have ample evidence. The investigation confirms that Tony Smith did this to save his son, Brooklyn Smith."
"Oh? Brooklyn? It seems he was arrested, but what does that have to do with the aircraft incident?"
A man asked.
This man was only about twenty years old, under thirty, very young, and quite handsome, with an aristocratic air.
This young man is the Queen’s eldest grandson, Prince Potter’s eldest son, named Prince Harry, the second in line to the British throne.
His father, Prince Potter, is the first in line to inherit the throne, yet despite waiting from youth to old age, has yet to ascend.
Someone joked that Prince Potter might not outlast the Queen, for she has indeed lived a long life, but his son, Prince Harry, has a promising future.
The young Prince Harry, handsome and noble, is already a prominent figure, adored by millions of subjects, and recognized internationally, Prince Harry’s name is well-known.
Young, handsome, of noble birth, one could say Prince Harry is the ultimate winner in life, born into attention, one can only wonder how he chose his birth so well.
John Parkinson respectfully said, "Your Highness, Prince Harry, indeed, there is a witness on the aircraft who will testify against Brooklyn tomorrow, in court. Tony Smith’s motive is to eliminate this witness. If the witness dies, Brooklyn’s sentence will be greatly reduced."
Prince Harry responded with an "Oh!": "I see!"
With this, Prince Harry turned to Lin Fan and smiled, "Mr. Lin, fortunately, you prevented Tony Smith from succeeding, you are truly a hero, and I greatly admire you!"
He then addressed the Queen, adding, "I suggest we honor Mr. Lin for his outstanding achievement. Although he is not a United Kingdom citizen, he is indeed our guardian angel."
Lin Fan: "..."
The Queen smiled and nodded, "Harry’s suggestion is excellent. Potter, what is your opinion?"
Prince Potter could hardly say no, although he was annoyed by Lin Fan, he had to agree, forcing a smile, "I concur."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "I am honored by the praises from the Queen and the two Princes, but there is no need for a commendation. I merely did what needed to be done, as I was also on that aircraft, rescuing others as well as myself."
Prince Harry gave a thumbs up, praising, "Mr. Lin, you are so capable and yet so humble, I truly admire you."
Lin Fan laughed and said, "Actually, I am a bit hungry. Can everyone stop talking?"
Upon hearing that, everyone couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
The Queen said, "Mr. Lin is right, let us begin!"
The tense atmosphere was dissolved by Lin Fan’s remark, and the mood became much more relaxed as the royal family members started their meals.
Prince Potter looked at the exquisite food before him but had little appetite.
"Potter, why aren’t you eating?" the Queen asked.
Only then did Prince Potter pick up his knife and fork.
Observing closely, Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "Rather than a commendation for myself, I wish to see the criminals duly punished. I trust the Queen will make the right judgment."
Before the Queen could respond, John Parkinson interjected, "Mr. Lin, rest assured, as the dinner commenced, the Lun City Police Station had already sent officers to the Smith family to make arrests."
Lin Fan smiled, "That’s truly delightful news."
Just then, Prince Potter took a bite of delicious bacon, but upon hearing John Parkinson’s words, the delicacy in his mouth tasted as bland as wax.
Prince Potter finally realized, he had placed his bet wrong, only to find that during his clandestine meeting with John Parkinson, John Parkinson had already chosen sides, making him look like a fool.
John Parkinson likely understood Prince Potter’s feelings the best and dared not meet his eyes.
Indeed, when Prince Potter reached out to him secretly, there were many times he wished to tell Prince Potter that the Queen presided over the matter, and she already knew the truth, leaving him powerless to act.
Due to Lin Fan’s successful treatment of the Queen’s illness, he had direct contact with her. Others wanting to pass messages to the Queen had to go through numerous hurdles, where messages could be intercepted at any time. Lin Fan, however, could converse directly with the Queen.
So Lin Fan had already provided evidence to the Queen, unless she wished to protect Tony Smith, no one could alter the outcome, including John Parkinson.
When Prince Potter approached John Parkinson for a secret talk, John Parkinson knew he couldn’t help Prince Potter at all.
The Queen’s health had been restored by Lin Fan, strengthened once more, giving her more years to live. She remained the sovereign of the United Kingdom, still the most powerful person here.
As long as John Parkinson wasn’t foolish, he knew which side to stand on.
That joke seemed to be coming true, for Prince Potter was indeed old, and he might not outlast the Queen.
Nightfall.
During the ongoing palace dinner.
Smith Manor.
Sirens blared as several police cars were parked at the gates of the manor. Blonde policewoman Alice stepped out of the car, leading a group of Lun City officers to the gates, directly showing her badge.
"Lun City Police, we are here to see Tony Smith. Please open the gate!" Alice said coldly.
