Grand Duke Devonshire stood up excitedly at the thought of the secret that Devonshire had guarded for thousands of years. He didn't care if he was the King or not. Leaving Philip and Charles aside, he said to William with an angry face,
"Are you crazy? William, how could you tell me the biggest secret of your family? That's the reason why your family has been able to survive for thousands of years. "
King Philip was overjoyed and stood up as well. "Let's go. Let's talk somewhere else." He looked at Char for a while and walked out without saying anything.
Charles knew that King Philip wanted to drive him away, so he quickly followed after Philip. Grand Duke Devonshire glared at William for a few seconds, then snorted coldly and followed.
William smiled as he looked at Philip who was in a hurry. He really couldn't wait. Under the guidance of the guards, the four of them entered a sealed secret room. After sitting down, Philip looked at William seriously and said, "I'll ask you one last time. Have you thought it through, William?"
William smiled and said, "Of course."
"Then let's start. Just tell me where she is. Although your family has guarded the secret for thousands of years, after the Knights Templar were massacred 600 years ago, the secret is no longer a secret to a limited number of people. Almost everyone who should know knows about it."
Heh, no conditions, no benefits. It's not that easy to tell. William lowered his head and smiled as he drank his coffee slowly. I don't believe that you and Grand Duke Devonshire won't be tempted.
Charles saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he winked at Philip. After Philip nodded slightly, he said, "Sorry, William, can you tell me what you're talking about?"
William raised his eyebrows and looked at Philip and Grand Duke Devonshire. He then said to Charles, who was full of curiosity, "A story about the wife of the God of Light."
"What do you mean?" Charles looked at William in confusion. When did the God of Light have a wife?
William saw that Philip and Duke Devin were sitting upright and not talking, so he told Charles the whole story. When Charles heard the whole story, he asked in surprise, "God, where is she? And William, are you crazy? How can you tell such a secret?"
This time, Philip said to Charles disapprovingly, "He's not crazy. Do you think a person who started from scratch and is worth billions would be crazy?"
Charles was enlightened by Philip's words. Yes, in their limited encounter, he did not think that William was a lunatic. He was as shrewd as a little fox.
Philip saw that William was still calm after his explanation, so he said helplessly, "Alright, tell me your conditions. As long as they are not too outrageous, I will agree to them."
William smiled and said, "First, I want to buy all the land around Oxford Castle. I will buy it according to the market price. The only problem is the approval of the Oxford City Council."
Philip was surprised and asked, "As long as you have the money, you can buy it. Do you need me?"
"Of course I'm looking for you, because I want to buy all the land around the Devonshire clan's castle. It's around thirty thousand acres."
Charles looked at the smiling William and wanted to beat William up. God, 30,000 acres? That was 5,000 acres more than the land owned by his family. As long as William bought it, he would immediately become the biggest landlord in England.
After hearing William's words, Philip shook his head and said, "It's useless for you to come to me about this. It depends on the Oxford City Council. No one is a fool. They will not let you buy such a large piece of land. If you use this land to develop real estate or directly enclose it and prevent outsiders from entering, it will affect the food and public resources of hundreds of thousands of people."
William did not believe that Philip was out of ideas. He had been on the throne for more than 60 years. He must have a way to persuade the Oxford City Council. It was nothing more than an exchange of interests. It seemed that he had to talk about some benefits first.
William smiled and said, "You know what? This afternoon, someone wanted to buy the Holy Grail for 300 million dollars, but I did not agree. Instead, I sent them to see the God of Light. "
Philip and the other two immediately thought of the information they had received at four o 'clock. It was suspected that six directors of the Guild of Light and a black bishop had been involved in a car accident in Lyon, France. The bus had crashed down a cliff more than 100 meters high. A total of eight people on the bus, including the driver, had all died.
They were wondering who would be so cruel and merciless as to take out the heads of the Guild of Light. They did not expect that it was done by this young man in front of them.
The three of them looked at the calm William with vigilance. They did not expect the young man to be so ruthless. The three of them did not care much about the 300 million dollars.
William said with a smile, "I'm sure you know what the Knights Templar did to the Church of Light a thousand years ago."
Philip and the other two laughed and nodded. Of course they knew. It was just extorting the Church of Light.
"I don't want much, just 500 million dollars. If you don't have cash, England's fixed assets will do. As for how much you can get, I don't care."
Philip did not respond to William's request. He just laughed and said, "Haha, William, have you never thought of going to the Church of Light yourself?"
William was speechless and rolled his eyes at Philip. Although he had thought of this, he was not an idiot. If he went directly, he might be silenced. Even if William could escape, trouble would follow him for the rest of his life.
How could it be better than now? He did not have to lead the charge, nor did he have to show his face and be hated. Even if the sky fell, there was still a king, a prince, and a grand duke to hold it up. Moreover, he did not want to mention the angel statue in his house.
He wanted to talk about the fake Holy Grail in the Louvre. As for whether it was real or fake, it would depend on one's eyesight. That Holy Grail was personally appraised and stored by the four elders of the Hermit Order more than ten years ago. If it was found to be a fake Holy Grail, it would be the fault of the four elders.
If Philip and the other two really went to blackmail the Church of Light, the one they would hate the most would not be him. "I'm not an idiot. The strength of a single person is not as great as the strength of a group. Furthermore, I'm not greedy. 500 million dollars is more than enough for me."
Philip and Grand Duke Devin nodded in satisfaction. They both thought that William was still very self-aware. Although the Church of Light had declined, anyone who looked down on them would definitely pay a painful price.
They also understood the reason why William sought them out. However, the value of the Holy Grail was too great. They had no choice but to be used by William. Furthermore, in their eyes, William's request was not excessive. In fact, it was too low.
This caused the two of them to be a little suspicious. Why would William hand over the Holy Grail? "Alright, I'll agree to both of your conditions. Tell me your third condition. I don't believe that you would only make such a small request."
William knew that the most important thing had come. If he could not dispel the doubts in Philip and Grand Duke Devin's hearts, the two of them might not take the bait.
"I hope that you and the Church of Light can work together to destroy the Light Guild. They are a serious threat to the safety of my mother and me." William's face was filled with anger as he took deep breaths, "I hope that you and the Church of Light can work together to destroy the Light Guild.
When Philip heard this condition, he was a little shocked. William's vengeful heart was really strong, and his heart was very black. Just because his safety was threatened, he wanted to uproot others.
King Philip and Grand Duke Devin pondered for a long time. The two of them knew that William did not come to them out of kindness. However, this bait was too big for people from the top families like them. Moreover, if William was forced to reveal the Holy Grail by the Church of Light or the Church of Light, things would get out of hand.
"Alright, as long as the Holy Grail is real, I'll agree to all your conditions. Now, tell me where the Holy Grail is. You can't not even trust me, the King of England, can you?"
"Of course not, but I want a deposit of 500 million US dollars."
Philip and Grand Duke Devin looked at each other and nodded. That was right. No one would be an idiot to work without taking the money.
They spent almost two hours discussing what industry to use to deduct the 500 million US dollars. After the discussion, King Philip said tiredly, "You can rest assured now."
William looked at the documents in his hands with satisfaction. He did not expect that the private foundation controlled by King Philip and the Grand Duke Devin would have 4% Apple, 7% Amazon, and 3% Disney shares.
William did not even think about it and asked for all these shares. These companies were listed companies. Unlike the start-up stage, it was not so easy to dilute his shares.
He also asked for 11% of Chelsea's shares. Chelsea's shares would be very suitable as a birthday gift for his mother. Lena had always been a Chelsea fan.
William said cheerfully, "The Holy Grail is now under the glass pyramid of the Louvre in France."
Hearing the news, King Philip and Grand Duke Devin were so angry that they almost had a heart attack. The two of them glared fiercely at William, thinking that they knew it was not that simple. William, a bastard, had sold something that was not his for 500 million US dollars.
But on the other hand, the two of them believed in William's words. This also explained why William would sell the Holy Grail to them at such a low price. So, after the two of them drove William and Prince Charles away, they laughed and celebrated with their wine glasses. The two old foxes still had to discuss the distribution of benefits.
