Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1471 - 1470

Prince Potter was almost about to cough up blood; he really wanted to teach Lin Fan a lesson. But Lin Fan had the Queen’s protection, and unless he could persuade the Queen, he didn’t dare to move against Lin Fan.

A thought emerged in Prince Potter’s mind: he must convince the Queen because, this time, his losses were in the billions, and he needed the Queen’s help to avoid this loss.

If the Queen agrees to protect Tony Smith, then he can avoid the loss.

At this moment, Lin Fan continued speaking, with a face full of apprehension: "When I heard the Smith Clan is related to the Royal Family, I actually felt quite worried, thinking I was no match against them. Opposing the Smith Clan is so dangerous. Fortunately, after meeting Her Majesty the Queen, my worries vanished. The Queen is an impartial person; I trust that even if the Smiths truly have connections with the Royal Family, the Queen wouldn’t act selfishly."

Lin Fan put a tall hat on the Queen, blocking any chance of favoritism, which surely cut off Prince Potter’s path!

Prince Potter nearly spat out an old mouthful of blood.

The Queen said: "Mr. Lin, where did you hear that the Smith family’s business has connections with the Royal Family?"

Lin Fan said: "I’ve had dealings with people from the Smith family; it was them who used it as a threat against me."

The Queen said gravely: "Mr. Lin can rest assured, even if the Smith family’s business really involves members of the Royal Family, as long as I’m here, I will absolutely not act selfishly. Tony Smith will be subject to the legal judgment, without Royal interference! No matter who it is!"

Lin Fan smiled and said: "With the Queen’s words, I’m reassured."

The Queen glanced at everyone and said: "Amongst you, who has interests connected to the Smith family? Who is involved in their business?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Prince Potter also shook his head, while internally smiling bitterly; he had just been considering privately pleading with the Queen. Now with her public statement, should he seek a private plea?

If he swallows this bitter loss, he stands to suffer significant financial setbacks. If he pushes through and asks the Queen for a favor, it’d be a challenge for her — would she go against the promise she made to Lin Fan?

This question, Lin Fan doesn’t know the answer to either.

Promises are often sincere at the moment they’re made, but who knows if they’ll be regretted later?

Promises are the least reliable.

Loving couples always promise to love each other forever, but when they break up and fight bitterly, wanting each other dead, will they remember those vows?

Lin Fan has done everything he could.

If the Queen can make the right decision, it would be best; otherwise, Lin Fan must be prepared to stand against it.

Lin Fan doesn’t want it to come to that, not because he fears trouble, but because he finds such matters a waste of time, not worth it.

But if it really comes to that, Lin Fan has his ways. He can save the Queen’s life, so taking it back is just a slight effort...

"It’s getting late; many thanks to Her Majesty for hosting. I have to leave early tomorrow, so I’m heading out." Lin Fan stood up and took his leave.

He’s said everything he needed to; there’s no reason to stay further.

The Queen didn’t hold him back and said: "Mr. Lin, thanks again for everything you’ve done. Catherine, go see Mr. Lin off."

Thus, Catherine escorted Lin Fan out.

Everyone present was quite impressed by Lin Fan.

Prime Minister John Parkinson especially admired Lin Fan; anyone else fortunate enough to attend the Queen’s banquet would want to stay until dawn. Not Lin Fan; when he said he’d leave, he’d leave without any hesitation, as if the Royal Family meant nothing to him.

One could only say, too cool.

After the banquet, Prince Potter was depressed at heart, thinking about the huge loss he was about to face. He ultimately steeled himself and privately sought out the Queen.

"Mother, seeing you recover your health makes me really happy. I’ve been worried about your health this whole time," said Prince Potter.

The Queen gave him a look and asked: "Is there something you need from me?"

Prince Potter felt a bit awkward: "Not really..."

The Queen said: "I just returned to the Platinum Palace and I’m a bit tired. If there’s nothing pressing, you should leave. I want to rest early."

Prince Potter said: "Mother, actually, there is one thing... it’s about the Smith family."

The Queen let out an "Oh," a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, which belonged to her majesty, and she said: "Does it mean you are involved with the Smith family’s business?"

Prince Potter felt the Queen’s authority and broke into a cold sweat. The Queen, able to reign for decades, was truly formidable.

Thud!

Prince Potter’s knees went weak, and he knelt down: "Mother, you must save me this time! If the Smith family’s scandal gets exposed, I’ll lose billions in Euros; I truly will be left with nothing!"

The Queen’s expression changed: "I didn’t know your ties with the Smith family were so deep!"

Losses in the billions, although not her direct loss, she still felt a sting for her son, Potter.

Prince Potter said: "Mother, please think of a way, cover up Tony Smith’s matter, and minimize my losses as much as possible."

The Queen sternly said: "I cannot do that."

Prince Potter said: "Why? Is it because of that Huaxia person?"

The Queen said: "You could say that."

Prince Potter said: "I admit Mr. Lin is quite impressive; his ability to destroy the Earth Wolf Gang proves his skill. But what can he do to us? Why should Mother be concerned about him?"

The Queen laughed coldly: "You mean to say I should turn against Mr. Lin because of your loss?"

Prince Potter said: "I mean, we don’t need to take him seriously, do we need to fear him?"

The Queen said: "One must have a long-term vision, not be limited to immediate gains and losses! With the way you are, how can I entrust the country to you?"

Prince Potter was startled and quickly said: "Please advise me, Mother."

The Queen said: "If Mr. Lin were an ordinary person, that would be one thing, but Mr. Lin is not a mere man. He is the owner of a 30 billion valuation company, and he’s young, with a bright future ahead. Handling Tony Smith impartially shows respect for Mr. Lin. You might face billion losses but can build a good relationship with Mr. Lin, benefiting immensely in the future. Conversely, turning against Mr. Lin to protect Tony Smith might save this billion for now, but opposing Mr. Lin could result in paying tenfold in the future. Anyone who’s not a fool should know the choice, right?"

Cold sweat dripped from Prince Potter; he didn’t realize just how highly Lin Fan was valued in the Queen’s eyes!

After all, the Queen is the Queen; she truly sees things long-term!

The Queen continued: "Moreover, Mr. Lin saved me; his medical skill is my life’s safeguard. Are you hoping for my early death?"

Prince Potter was startled and quickly said: "No, I didn’t mean it like that!"

The Queen looked at Prince Potter, secretly shaking her head; this Crown Prince disappointed her a bit. Can she truly entrust the throne to him, or should she consider another Crown Prince...
