Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1469 - 1468

Platinum Palace.

The banquet continued, and the members of the royal family, who were born into nobility, were all astonished by Lin Fan’s legendary experiences. They had lived in a fairytale world since childhood, leading smooth lives, with clothing and food provided seamlessly. Colds or fevers were their greatest setbacks, so how could they even imagine what Lin Fan had been through?

To them, it was simply outlandish.

Prince Harry was especially curious, like a baby always asking questions, while Lin Fan seemed like his idol.

Lin Fan was patient, answering each question, and everyone listened intently, showing expressions of admiration as they looked at Lin Fan.

Only Prince Potter seemed anxious, forcing a smile throughout. It was inevitable; once the scandal of the Smith Clan was exposed, he would suffer great losses. It was already commendable that he managed to stay seated.

Ring ring ring...

The Prime Minister’s phone suddenly rang.

John Parkinson answered the phone, "Okay, I understand."

John Parkinson hung up the phone, stood up, and respectfully said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, we have just received news that Tony Smith has been arrested."

The Queen nodded, "Good, let the law take care of the judgment next."

John Parkinson replied, "Yes."

The Queen smiled, "Come, everyone, let’s continue eating. Mr. Lin, Tony Smith has been captured; you can rest assured now."

Lin Fan smiled, "This is truly something worth celebrating. I toast to everyone."

Lin Fan picked up his wine glass.

Everyone else also picked up their glasses to return the toast.

Lin Fan’s gaze fell on Prince Potter, "Prince Potter, you don’t look well; is something bothering you? I’m a doctor, feel free to tell me, I can diagnose you."

Everyone immediately looked at Prince Potter.

"Mr. Lin didn’t mention it, but I hadn’t noticed. Father, you really don’t look well, are you okay?" Prince Harry asked with concern.

Prince Potter truly felt unwell, but it was mostly discomfort in his heart from his losses.

He never imagined that he personally intervened yet couldn’t save Tony Smith; Tony Smith was ultimately arrested.

All of this was because of Lin Fan!

Now, Lin Fan was asking him what was wrong, surely Lin Fan, such a skilled doctor, could see his body was fine!

Was Lin Fan asking knowingly? Was he mocking him, knowing he felt unwell inside?

Prince Potter was irritated but outwardly said, "I’m fine, thank you, Mr. Lin, for your concern."

Lin Fan smiled, "Good, as long as nothing’s wrong. Prince Potter must take care of your health."

Lin Fan’s words sounded like concern for Prince Potter’s well-being, but also seemed sarcastic, as now the Queen’s health was robust again. If Prince Potter doesn’t take care, such as getting too angry, he might not last to inherit the throne.

Perhaps few could hear the underlying meaning in Lin Fan’s words, but the Prime Minister did. John Parkinson knew clearly that Prince Potter was definitely displeased, and Lin Fan’s words would certainly make him more so.

As humorous as John Parkinson found it, he couldn’t help but think, having sided with the Queen today, he was in conflict with Prince Potter, who surely wouldn’t let this go.

Thinking ahead, if Prince Potter someday inherits the throne, would he let him off lightly? Then would begin his problems.

He definitely needed to do something.

It’s foreseeable that palace intrigue might soon play out within the British Royal Family.

"Mr. Lin, you’ve made great achievements this time, saving the Queen and helping uncover a major case. I’m curious what reward Mr. Lin desires?"

Then Prince Potter laughed, looking at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan replied, "No need, as I said earlier, as long as Tony Smith is brought to justice, I’m satisfied, no reward is necessary."

Prince Potter said, "Oh? Mr. Lin doesn’t want material rewards? I don’t know what the Queen’s view is; personally, I’d be willing to fund a new outfit for you."

This was clearly a mockery, ridiculing Lin Fan’s poverty. After all, Prince Potter couldn’t find anything else to mock besides maintaining a monetary superiority over Lin Fan.

No matter how formidable Lin Fan was, from his clothing it’s evident that he was dirt poor, unable to afford a decent attire.

Prince Potter used this mockery, attempting to self-assuage, as Lin Fan caused him losses of several hundreds of millions; if it weren’t out of consideration for the Queen, he would definitely not let Lin Fan go.

Originally, Lin Fan was unaware of Prince Potter’s connection to the Smith Clan, but hearing the veiled sarcasm in Prince Potter’s words, Lin Fan understood.

Lin Fan said, "Thank you, Prince Potter, for your kind offer, but no need, really no need. I can probably get one or two more years out of this outfit; I’ll replace it once it’s worn."

Oh?

Everyone seemed surprised.

Mr. Lin’s outfit is already quite humble, yet he intends to wear it for another one or two years?

To these royal family members, it was simply unimaginable. Firstly, they’d never wear such inexpensive clothes as Lin Fan does; secondly, even for their branded attire, once outdated, they promptly replace them rather than wearing them to ruin. How could anyone wear them out?

Prince Potter said, "Mr. Lin is truly frugal. Mr. Lin is Huaxia, right?"

Lin Fan replied, "Yes."

Prince Potter said, "Being from a third-world country, I understand; I’ve heard you Huaxia People can’t even afford tea eggs. I don’t even know what a tea egg is, because here, you won’t see it."

His implied meaning was that tea eggs are low-grade food beneath notice, which the United Kingdom wouldn’t even have, while Huaxia People can’t afford even such low-grade food, making it understandable that Lin Fan wouldn’t buy a new outfit.

Lin Fan silently ridiculed it; this Prince Potter mocks him for being poor, which didn’t interest him to retort, but including Huaxia in the ridicule, Lin Fan couldn’t condone.

"No tea eggs in the United Kingdom? I truly didn’t know," Lin Fan said, "Because in Huaxia, tea eggs are a very common delicacy, easy to make, tasty and affordable. It’s as common as Westerners drinking coffee. In the West, coffee is ubiquitous, regardless of rich or poor, and is not considered a luxury item, right? Similarly, tea eggs are a staple in Huaxia. Nowadays, in Huaxia, with the rise in living standards, besides enjoying our native cuisine, we also have access to many imported foods, like coffee, which is now prevalent in Huaxia too. As for there being no tea eggs in the United Kingdom, I can only say it’s unfortunate; you are missing out, because tea eggs are genuinely quite good."

"As for Prince Potter saying Huaxia People can’t afford tea eggs, I don’t know where Prince Potter heard this. It’s as absurd as saying Westerners can’t afford coffee. If I claimed the United Kingdom People couldn’t afford coffee, you’d scoff at it. Prince Potter, perhaps your information is outdated. After all, Huaxia is now the world’s second-largest economy; perhaps Prince Potter read a twenty-year-old tabloid magazine?"

Lin Fan calmly explained without arrogance.

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh, while Potter’s face showed a tinge of embarrassment.
