"Remember... As long as you don't exceed the bottom line, no one will care what you do. But if you exceed the bottom line, then..."

Alan shrugged and said it easily.

After saying this, Diana fell completely silent. She lowered her head and stared blankly at the documents on the table. No one knew what she was thinking.

After a few tens of seconds of silence, Alan was so bored that he wanted to continue writing. Diana murmured, "I'm like a bird in a cage now. As long as I don't get out of this cage, anything is fine, right?"

"uh-huh!"

Alan snorted.

"Isn't this irresponsible?" Diana argued.

"Tsk... If you insist on thinking this way, then there's nothing I can do. As a human being... when you gain something, you are destined to lose something. You are now a princess. You know what this identity has brought you, right? If you didn't have this identity, who would care about the little daughter of Earl Spencer? Just like me back then, they only knew my elder brother..."

Alan looked at Diana sincerely.

The two people's previous life trajectories were very similar, and they were both poor students.

Diana is even worse than Allen. She didn't even finish high school and is considered a bad girl among aristocratic ladies.

When Thatcher criticized her, she used this point to despise her academic qualifications.

Later... she was miraculously favored by the prince, and then they had a wedding of the century, and walked into the marriage hall in front of billions of people around the world.

From then on, Cinderella became a princess...

We can’t say that she is Cinderella. Diana’s background is not bad either. Just her identity as the daughter of an earl is enough to instantly defeat more than 95% of the women in the world.

However, as Allen said, this path was chosen by herself, and people must be responsible for what they have done!

…

"Can he... still be released?"

Diana seemed to have let go of something completely, and started asking about the pretty boy again.

Alan smiled... and didn't rush to answer Diana's question. Instead, he pulled the bell and waited for dozens of seconds before Little Stone trotted into the study.

"Master, you called me?"

"Well... you go ask Huth for advice later, and send someone to tell Dodi's father tomorrow that I like their department store and ask him to let me play with the store for a few days..."

Alan glanced at Diana provocatively and continued, "No need to tell him to think about it. If he doesn't reply before tomorrow night, cut off one of Dodi's hands and send it to his father. Let him think about it slowly. There's no need to rush... His son has two hands and two feet. It's enough for him to think about it for several days."

"yes!"

Little Shitou straightened his back and agreed in a very imposing manner. He looked at Alan and realized that he had nothing to say. Then he bowed to Diana again and left the study.

…

After Xiao Shitou walked away, Diana suppressed her anger, looked at Allen and said, "Alan! What do you mean? Can't you just let him go? You said you could pretend this never happened."

"Yeah... I can pretend it never happened, but when did I ever say I could let him go?"

Alan spread his hands and looked at Diana in surprise.

"Don't you understand the purpose of my doing this? I can kill a wealthy businessman like him in Great Britain or Wales if I want to. He used to rely on his status of showing his face in front of His Highness and playing polo with His Highness to barely get anyone to mess with him, but what he is doing now is enough to make him die a hundred times. Since he will be swallowed up by someone sooner or later, why don't I swallow him up first? Instead, it will benefit outsiders."

“You…you…”

Diana pointed at Alan with a trembling finger, and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Although Allen didn't say whether the person would be released, the answer was obvious.

…

"Ha ha……"

Alan looked at Diana's angry expression and laughed heartlessly.

"Aunt... this is the benefit of status. I am a noble. No matter how rich he is, he is just a fat sheep in my eyes... I can kill him however I want. I can take everything from him and his family openly. Not only is he rich, but he is also a foreigner... This is the benefit of status, and you... now have a coveted status. Are you... willing to give it up? Have you ever thought about what you will face after giving up this status?"

…

This was the first time that Alan looked at Diana like this. How can I describe this look?

She had never seen it before. It was a look that wanted to eat people, like a starving wolf staring at its prey fiercely.

She thought about what Allen had just said, yes...

I am still a princess. What if I lose this identity...will Dodi still continue to love me?

If I lose my identity as a princess, how will other nobles view me?

Will the little sister with whom I had friction in the past let her go?

Would they pounce on him and tear him apart without any disguise, just like Alan did?

Diana, who had always lived in the spotlight, finally thought of this most core issue. She had been used to a life of luxury and had never worried about such issues.

Now... Alan openly ordered his men to cause trouble for a wealthy businessman in front of her. He looked so confident and he did not hide anything!

What does he rely on?

As a hereditary earl, his family has made great contributions, he is a nobleman, and with the support of boss Cha, he can do whatever he wants in Britain!

What's more, he now has evidence in his hands and he's holding someone hostage!

As long as it doesn't go too far, there will always be such behavior of swallowing up family property in Britain.

The only difference is whether ordinary people know it or not.

…

After figuring this out, Diana took a deep breath, looked at Allen deeply and said, "Alan... I know what you mean. I went to see Spencer a few days ago. I have figured out what he did. I need to go back and be quiet now..."

"Please..."

Alan didn't even stand up. Whether Diana figured it out or not, it was none of his business. He wouldn't be excited for Diana if she figured it out, nor would he be sad for her if she didn't. People...you make your own way, and when you really reach the end, no matter what the result is, don't blame anyone but yourself.

Diana didn't take the information. She stood up and picked up her small bag. When she reached the door of the study, she paused and turned to look at Alan and said, "Thank you..."

"Haha...you don't have to be so polite as a family."

This time, Alan finally smiled again and said something polite to Diana.

"A family..."

Diana repeated this sentence over and over again and nodded to Alan, which was her farewell.

…

May 1, 1992.

International Labor Day!

Of course, many people in Britain have holidays. Early this morning, the headlines in the newspapers reported some very explosive news.

Princess Anne publicly humiliated a commoner at a party of aristocratic ladies.

The title is very hateful.

The words "nobles" and "commoners" are bolded and their meaning is self-evident.

In a gathering like this between noble women, there is no way to keep secrets. If something big happens, it will be gossiped about by the old ladies and young ladies, and they will spread it out as soon as they go out...

It can’t be contained.

According to the report, Princess Anne specially hosted a party at home to entertain Her Royal Highness Cayetana, who came from Spain.

…

Speaking of His Royal Highness Khayatana, ordinary people probably don't have much impression of him, so the report also specifically explained the identity of this prince.

She is not a Spanish princess, she is an aristocrat among aristocrats, a traditional Spanish aristocrat, and the 18th Duchess of the Alba family.

Generally speaking, if someone is not a member of the royal family, he is not called His Royal Highness, but this one is special.

Their family is very famous and they have too many titles!

Like Alan, he was so terrified just for an earldom in his family.

And what about the Duchess?

He has dozens of duke titles alone, and more than forty "minor titles" such as marquis and earl.

Just listing the titles of nobility would take up several lines.

Very exaggerated.

Let’s put it this way, the contemporary matriarch of the Alba family does not have to kneel or salute when she sees the Pope, and she can even enter the Serbian Cathedral on horseback.

…

When she was young, she was known as the first lady of Spain.

At that time, the word "socialite" had not yet been stigmatized. Socialite referred to a very famous lady among the aristocrats, who must be both virtuous and talented.

Even the current King of Spain would have to give way to her...

The Duchess of Kayatana and the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret, are good friends.

And...the Duchess of Kayatana is a distant relative of Diana.

Princess Anne's party was to welcome Duchess of Kayatana, and Princess Margaret also came with her.

Judging from the lineup, and considering that Diana was also invited.

As you can imagine…

It is most likely a Hongmen Banquet.

And it was a Hongmen Banquet with a hint of palace fighting.

It's a pity...Diana didn't go, but Karami, who likes to show off, took the bait.

…

It was originally a very ordinary aristocratic gathering. In the past, some aristocratic ladies would bring some ladies and ladies whose families were not aristocratic to meet the world.

But this time, the worst of the people who came to the party were noble ladies from viscount families.

And Karami...her family is from the royal guards, not the nobility.

In this way, her identity becomes conspicuous.

…

Princess Anne was a bit mean and didn't want to say it directly due to her status, but the Duchess of Kayatana had no such scruples.

She asked Princess Anne directly in front of everyone why a peasant woman from a commoner family would appear at their banquet.

Duchess Kayatana used the extremely insulting term "peasant woman".

Karami was so embarrassed on the spot.

But there is more waiting for her.

Princess Margaret also hated her, and immediately followed up by saying that this person was her nephew, Boss Cha's girlfriend when he was young, who was not very sensible and later got married. She was a country boy with no vision and liked to join in the fun, so the security personnel just had to kick her out.

Princess Anne also added insult to injury by saying that the news had been very popular recently, as if someone had taken the initiative to produce a tape and was trying to blow themselves up.

After saying that...he stared at Karami. What does that mean? Those who understand will understand. It's just an indirect criticism.

…

This time...

The three highest-ranking women present had already enumerated Karami's "crimes".

Female nobles also have their own circles, and now they are facing the words of their three big bosses.

Anyone who has a little understanding of the ways of the world has begun to speak out to help.

No matter whether anyone had come into contact with Karami before, they had to make up a story even if they had to make it up. Everyone gathered around Karami and started talking about her, as if anyone who didn't say something embarrassing about her would never be able to integrate into the aristocratic circle.

This time...

The banquet hadn't started yet. Karami was in a terrible state facing the siege. She blushed so much that she didn't know how she escaped from the manor. It was just an ordinary party, and she came here with the purpose of getting to know the ladies.

Who knew...she became the center of attention and was surrounded and scolded by others.

We are all women, this is already an act that will make her die in public, who knows, the next day...

It also has to be reported in the newspapers so that the common people of Britain can follow suit.

…

When Alan was eating lunch, he held the newspaper in his left hand and forgot to chew the beef in his mouth.

this……

Are you old ladies all so cruel to each other?

How can I help you?

I guess Karami is hiding at home and doesn't dare to go out now?

So what should I do?

Princess Anne is indeed awesome, but after doing it so hard at once, Alan found that his plans seemed to be disrupted.

Hold!

No...you've all finished playing and had enough fun, what should I do?

I haven't gotten in the car yet!

I have to come too!

The plan has to go on, all the preparations have been made, they can’t just go to waste!

Anyway, the Queen hinted to him that he should make a bigger fuss, and that he was at most the icing on the cake.

"Someone come!"

Alan put down the newspaper and started calling for help anxiously.

…

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Go call someone. We're going to take action today... well, right now. Get the tanks out and get the convoy ready. Follow me to London!"

"Ah? Now?"

Little Shitou was a little confused. Why did it suddenly come earlier? He still hadn't figured out what was going on.

"What are you looking at? Go get someone to prepare and warm up the car! Move according to the plan."

Seeing that Xiao Shitou was standing there motionless, Alan kicked him lightly.

"Oh oh oh...Okay, Master, I'll go right away!"

Xiao Shitou was kicked and startled. He quickly ran to call for someone to prepare the car.

…

Hill House Estate.

On the lawn, an old green tank was rumbling and emitting black smoke. Several servants and bodyguards were busy warming up the tank.

This thing is also an antique.

Cromwell Type IV cruiser tank.

Britain's tank classification is unique. They do not distinguish between light, medium and heavy tanks.

Instead, they are divided into two types based on their functions.

One type is used to cover infantry, and is called an infantry tank. This type of tank has thick armor and runs slowly, so it is responsible for acting as a meat shield, while the infantry follows behind them to attack.

One type has thin armor, runs fast, and is responsible for battlefield support, and is called a cruiser tank.

The Cromwell tank is a thin-skinned but fast-running cruiser tank.

The combat weight is approximately 32 tons and the maximum speed is 64 kilometers per hour.

In that era, it was considered a unique high-speed tank. Even today, its speed is not considered slow.

Moreover, this skin is thin, only compared to a tank, the vehicle weighs only more than 30 tons...

If an ordinary bus was hit by this thing, it would probably be smashed to pieces.
