"Haha, William, you're very smart. You're the only descendant of the Winston and Devonshire families. I won't let anyone hurt you or your mother, Lena.
There will always be people who want to take risks. If they can't find out the secrets of the Devonshire family, they'll try to make a move on you and Lena. I've gotten rid of no less than 20 people over the years. The Winston and Devonshire families never show mercy to their enemies. "
Having an uncle who was the leader of the world's largest assassin organization could really guarantee his and his mother's safety. At the very least, it would make many people have scruples and not dare to make a move on them.
After hearing this, William picked up his phone and called his mother, Lena. "Hey, William, you still know how to call your mother? I thought you'd hide somewhere in the world and only remember to call me after you gave birth. Ah, you ran away after two days. Do you know that there's a lot of things waiting for you to decide in the castle? Do you still think of me as your mother, you bastard?"
William looked at Winston with a slightly red face. His mother was too fierce, and he really did run away after two days at home. This made him feel very embarrassed.
Winston waved his hand, looking like he wanted to help but couldn't, and smiled as he watched William embarrass himself.
"I'm sorry, mother. I really don't have time to go back. When I'm done with this, I'll definitely go back and accompany you. I love you, mother. Don't be angry. Be careful not to get wrinkles."
"Idiot, I won't get wrinkles. Tell me, what's the matter? I knew you wouldn't think of me if there was nothing. I really raised you for nothing. You ingrate, you only know how to cause trouble outside every day."
"Mother, do we have a relative called Winston?" William asked.
"Why are you asking this? Where did you hear that you have a relative called Winston? "Lena said.
William looked at Winston. Lena's voice was quite loud, so Winston must have heard what Lena said.
Winston hurriedly waved his hand at William and raised a finger to his lips, indicating that he should not tell Lena that he had seen him.
Although William found it a little strange, he still nodded at Winston. "Mother, I heard it from my grandfather's friend. He said that I seem to have an uncle with long hair and a South American face. Is that right, Mother?"
"Of course, Evan Winston. He always has a dirty face, and his half-length hair looks like it hasn't been washed. He talks slowly as if someone owes him a million pounds. Of course I know him, but he seems to have passed away in an accident. Baby, have you seen Evan anywhere?
I remember that I still have his photos. When you were born, Evan came to see you. But I don't know where I put them in the past few years. I can't find some of them. "
William looked at Winston apologetically. "It's okay if you can't find her. Mom, I'm hanging up now. I'll go visit you in a few days. Say hello to Tina for me. Bye, Mom."
Lena grumbled in annoyance. "I knew it would be like this. Thank goodness Tina is with me. Bye. Come back if you're okay. Be careful when you're outside."
After William hung up, he said to Winston, "I'm sorry, Winston."
Winston said nonchalantly, "I knew Lena would say that. When you were young, Lena didn't allow me to carry you. She always disliked me and always thought that I would take you away."
"What! Take me away? "William said in shock.
Winston said in annoyance, "I'm sorry. There was a time when I really wanted to take you away. I can't have children, so you're the only bloodline in our families. The same blood flows in your body as mine. But in the end, I was chased away by Lena. Since then, she hasn't allowed me to get close to you. "
"Okay, I'll believe you for now." William held the cryptex in his hand and used his father's Chinese name to open the cryptex. There was a note inside that said, "Charlot is a ship. Go find it." There was also a set of coordinates written in riddles.
Haha, William recognized Henry's handwriting. If someone who didn't understand the whole story saw this note, they would definitely be confused by Henry. Charlot was the only useful clue that the Devonshire family had found about King Solomon's treasure in hundreds of years.
William pretended to put the note in his pocket, but in fact, he put it in his storage space. There was no safer place in the world than his storage space.
It seemed that Henry had found a lot of clues, but he was injured before he could find them. He could only leave the clues to William.
William didn't have much interest in the treasure. After all, there were no clues at all. Instead of bumping around like a headless fly, it was better to make more money by getting some modern technology.
However, it was different now. There was still a lot of fun in treasure hunting. The sense of accomplishment from finding treasure and the desire for wealth made William decide to follow Henry's instructions to find the ship called Charlot to see what treasure or clues were on it.
William didn't show Winston the note in the cryptex, and he didn't say anything either. He smiled and said to William, "Now you believe that I'm your uncle, right?"
William would also believe the person Henry trusted. After all, Henry trusted Winston ten years ago, but he still had some reservations in his heart. Who knew what had changed in the past ten years, so his trust in Winston was limited.
It would depend on how the two of them got along in the future. "Okay, Uncle Winston, I definitely trust Henry, so I trust you too. Thank you for protecting me all these years. If there's anything I can help you with, just ask. I promise to do it for you."
Winston smiled and said, "I do have something I need your help with. I'm old, William. Ten years ago, when I was 50 years old, I wanted to train you to be my successor. Now that I'm over 60, this idea is even clearer. I hope you can help me slowly take over the New York Continental Hotel. Also, I hope you can change your name to William Winston Devonshire like Henry. I hope that the Winston surname can be passed down for a long time."
William thought about it and felt that there was no problem with adding a surname. His name wasn't from the Great Celestial Empire, and it wasn't like there weren't any names in the Great Celestial Empire that had a maternal surname.
"No problem, Winston. I have no objection to this. It's not bad to be the same as Henry. After all, the blood of the Winston family does flow in my body."
Winston was very happy after hearing this. "Very good, William, I'm very happy. This way, the Winston family won't end in my hands." After that, he laughed and pushed the gold coin box on the table in front of William and said, "Son, this is my first gift to you. You should have heard of the Continental Hotel's gold coins, right?"
William nodded and said, "I heard from a former agent friend of mine in the American Military Intelligence Agency. He also knows about the scavenger, but I don't know the specific use of this gold coin."
"I know who your friend is, Brian Mills. He has taken on many missions for us in the past ten years. He's one of the few people who can retire safely," Winston said.
When William heard that there were only a few people who could retire safely, he asked, "Uncle, are there very few people who want to retire from the Continental Hotel?"
Winston laughed and said, "Of course, son. When you're used to working in a bloody and exciting job for more than ten years, seventy percent of the people who don't have stable families will return to their old jobs after retiring for a while. They can't adapt to the boring life after retirement.
Out of the remaining 30%, 70% of them would have no choice but to pick up a gun again because they had always been extravagant when they were assassins. After a few years, they would spend all the money they had saved up and would have no choice but to pick up a gun.
The last nine people will either be hunted down by their former enemies or have their families broken down, making their lives worse than death. Therefore, in the Continental Hotel, there won't be one person who can live the rest of his life peacefully even out of a thousand assassins. "
William's scalp tingled when he heard Winston's words. It was too cruel.
