I'll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan!

Chapter 60: Abner’s Shock!

Lorne casually gestured to Kyle and the others.

“I won’t talk about the other bugs, only ants. You guys know what ants are, right?

“This little thing has one big characteristic, and that is the connection between an ordinary ant and the queen ant.

“The queen ant is the highest-ranking existence in the ant colony. Ordinary ants are responsible for constantly finding food for her.

“As soon as they find food, ordinary ants will rush to where the queen ant is.

“Tie the string to the ant’s body, throw some food scraps to it, and put the queen ant on the other side of the hole.

“Then, you won’t need to do anything else. You’ll just need to wait a little longer, and you’ll see the ant come out from the other end of the bead.

“Isn’t this a good idea? It’s simple, convenient, and quick to use!”

Lorne’s question did not receive any response from anyone.

This was because Kyle and the others were too dumbfounded. They were all shocked as they looked at the wine map that Lorne was gesturing on the table.

Using ants to find the way was a possibility they would have never thought of in a million years!

Amazing! Really truly amazing!!

They really did not expect that he would have such knowledge when it came to a nest of ants.

Why had they never thought of this!

Could it be that their brains were really a little too small?

Kyle, the King of Lolan, Rosen, and the other important ministers in the palace could not help but fall into deep thought — all mixed with deep self-doubt.

They wondered if they had wasted all these years in the palace not learning anything new.

Of course, they were still more shocked by Lorne’s suggestion compared to their self-doubts.

The solution might sound simple, but it was actually not simple at all. At least, it was not simple for Kyle and the others.

Without saying much, just the fact that the civil and military ministers in the palace could not come up with a good idea already proved that this question was too challenging for them to solve. However, such a question was easily solved by Lorne as if adding one plus one.

Why was there such a big gap between him and others?

Abner, who was dealing with Lorne for the first time, could not help but speak out loud, “Boss, you can think of such a difficult solution to a question so easily. You’re really amazing.

“I admire a young talent like you, a man of ambition.

“You be regarded as an example and model for all the young people in the world. Amazing, you’re really astounding!”

As soon as Abner finished speaking, Rosen immediately covered his eyes and could not bear to look at the others anymore.

Sure enough, Lorne immediately let out a sigh. Then, he replied with a modest face, “Don’t be like this, I’m serious. I should try and keep a low profile.

“I know that you guys are filled with admiration for me at this moment, but try not to be like this. We should still consider each other as equals.

“I’m only slightly more intelligent than ordinary people, and I only have some talent and ability in certain areas.

“I only want to be responsible for being handsome and charming for someone my age.”

What followed was a long speech that made everyone in the tavern not know how to respond to Lorne’s self-conceitedness.

This was the first time that Abner had seen the true characters of Lorne. After a long time, he realized that he was the one who had lit the fuse to this fire.

It was not until Lorne bragged for a few minutes that Kyle could not help but pour some wine into his bowl.

“Lorne, are you thirsty? You should drink some wine to quench your thirst.”

Rosen and the others immediately burst into laughter. The atmosphere in the tavern turned lively once again. After all, after knowing how to crack the code, Kyle and the others had finally lifted a huge boulder that lay in their hearts. At last, they were no longer as depressed as before.

After another round of eating and drinking, Kyle and the others were full.

Rosen, who was leaning on the back of the chair, gave a subtle wink to Kyle. Kyle nodded slightly to show that he understood what he meant. Then, he sat up and said, “Boss, today you have solved a problem that has been on our minds for so long. You have really satisfied our curiosity.

“This meal was also really enjoyable. This thing called hot pot really has some exquisite flavors that I’ve enjoyed. It’s much more fun than eating ordinary food.

“I would love to sit down and chat with you a little more, but we also sacrificed our time to run out here, so it’s not convenient for us to stay for too long.”

Lorne nodded and said, “Understood. If you have something to do, then go do your thing. Why should I hold you back on your things?”

When Lorne said this, Kyle and the other three immediately stood up.

Kyle was especially generous this time in his payment. He did not dig around in the money bag and directly put the entire money bag on the table.

“Boss, take this as our payment today. By the way, thank you for satisfying our curiosities. It has made us feel a lot better.”

Lorne did not refuse. It was just a matter of earning a few extra bucks to answer a simple puzzle. When the big deal in the salt industry comes out, the money would be more than enough for him.

As they spoke, Rosen and the others shook their hands to Lorne and quickly walked out.

However, Kyle was pulled to the end by Lorne.

After the others left, Lorne whispered in Kyle’s ear, “Hey, how’s the preparation for our refined salt coming along?”

Kyle nodded knowingly.

“Brother, you can rest assured. I’ve already asked someone to look for a few sites and found manpower.

“As for this matter, when I’ve cleared out all the medicinal herbs in the warehouse, I’ll go and do it myself. As long as it’s ready, I’ll come to you immediately and talk about it!”

Lorne patted Kyle’s hand excitedly. “Okay, I’m relieved to hear that. I’ll wait for your good news!”

Kyle made a gesture, then shook hands with Lorne and left.

After turning two corners, Kyle, Rosen, and the others got into the carriage again. However, this time, the five of them got into the same carriage.

As soon as they sat down, Abner looked a little excited and said while speaking, “Your Majesty, this young man is really as amazing as you said.

“Indeed, he is able to do what others can’t do and know what others don’t know. It seems that no matter how difficult a problem is in the world, it can be easily solved by him. All we needed was to have a simple meal with him and voila!

“In the past, I never believed that there was such a genius in the world, but now I am completely convinced by it.

“He isn’t just a genius, he is a miracle!”

However, after he danced around, he realized that the other people in the carriage were all calm.

Rosen even elbowed Abner to calm down.

“Abner, these are all basic operations. Quickly sit down and don’t react so drastically, it’s not as if we haven’t seen the world as well and know about things..”
