Ben Gaetz ignored William's words and pulled William to the side. He lowered his voice and growled, "God, can't you be more attentive? William, don't forget that your family is the guardian of the treasure. You are the descendant of the Knights Templar, and the descendant of the six founders of the Knights Templar. How can a beauty be more important than the treasure?
Even if we don't want to find it, don't forget that Ian and the others are fighting for the founding of the nation and the treasure. Are you willing to watch them find the treasure and make a fortune? "
William cursed in his heart. Of course, a beauty was not as important as the treasure. If it wasn't for the system taking care of Ben Gaetz and making it impossible for him to kill him at Cape Barrow, he might be in the treasure vault now.
As for Ian and the others, with Shaw as a spy, William believed that they would soon meet Satan. If Ben Gaetz froze to death at Cape Barrow, Ian and the others might be able to live for a few more days, and he wouldn't have to act like he was doing now.
"What era is this, Ben? The Knights Templar are long gone. I'm not so stupid as to protect that inexplicable agreement.
Besides, who am I? I'm the 20-year-old billionaire William Devonshire, the heir to the Earl of England. A bunch of beauties are waiting for me to date. So what if I find the treasure? It's just another zero in the bank. Maybe the value of the treasure is not even as much as my bank balance.
You have to understand, Ben, although the treasure might be there, it's more likely that it has been divided or used in the American independent war. "
Ben Gaetz rolled his eyes when he heard William bragging that the treasure was not as much as his bank balance. He was sure that William was bragging to a poor man like him.
William saw that Ben Gaetz was silent, as if he had heard him. He continued, "Think about it, with such a huge treasure, how could the guardians of the treasure not leave behind any clues, right, Ben?
In the past two hundred years, other than my family and your Gaetz family, have you heard of any other families that existed before the founding of the nation looking for this treasure? "
Ben Gaetz thought about it and shook his head. It really didn't seem like any of the prominent families from the founding of the nation were interested in this treasure. God, it couldn't have been divided or used, right?
Ben Gaetz's mind was in a mess and he broke out in cold sweat.
Seeing that Ben Gaetz was fooled, William continued, "I don't think so. In any case, all the information I got is some treasure hunters and professional treasure thieves like Ian who are looking for the treasure.
Ben Gaetz nodded after thinking for a while. Over the past two hundred years, his family had conned countless people to help them find the treasure. However, no matter how hard they searched, all they could find was one clue after another. None of them could prove the existence of the treasure.
At this point, William almost believed the story he made up. He pretended to be kind and said, "So I think you should also give up on the treasure that has troubled our families for hundreds and thousands of years and live your own life peacefully like me."
William patted the depressed Ben Gaetz and said, "That's it for today. I still have a meal with Ah Bi. I'm warning you, Ben Gaetz, don't disturb me."
William kept staring at Ben Gaetz. He said so much just to draw a line between him and the founding of the nation and give Ben Gaetz a reasonable reason to believe that William really didn't care about the treasure so that Ben Gaetz could steal the founding of the nation with peace of mind.
Sure enough, Ben Gaetz wasn't discouraged by William's words to give up looking for the treasure. After a moment of depression, his eyes became firm.
"I won't give up, William. I have to stop Ian and the others from getting the treasure. Although we can't fight side by side, I still have to thank you, William. I will prove to you and all the people who laughed at the Gaetz family that I was right. Goodbye, William, thank you."
Ben Gaetz hugged William for a few seconds with a grateful look on his face and left.
William didn't know that he would be glad that he didn't offend Ben Gaetz in the future.
One day in the future, after Ben Gaetz was imprisoned for a period of time, he would see on the news that Ben Gaetz saved a plane and a police officer on a plane and was pardoned by the American General Manager. He then ran off to become a motorcycle stunt technician.
William was glad that he didn't offend Ben Gaetz at this time and unexpectedly gained his friendship.
At this time, William was happy to send away Ben Gaetz who was in the way. He tidied his clothes and hair.
William showed a smile that he thought was satisfied. He knocked on the door and walked into Abigail's office. He stared at Abigail and said with a smile, "Finally, Ben Gaetz sent away Ben Gaetz.
"I've finally sent Ben Gaetz away. I'm glad that I was almost fooled by an illusory treasure. Thank you, Miss Abigail and Miss Chopra."
Abigail looked at William who came back with a slightly red face. She understood why William was lazy and didn't leave. She was also very satisfied with William's condition and appearance, so she didn't mind getting in touch with William first.
"You're welcome, William. Any archaeologist knows that the Gaetz family has been looking for treasure for more than 200 years. You're not the first person who was fooled by them to invest in finding the treasure.
Every ten or twenty years, someone will be persuaded by them and spend years or even decades looking for it. As far as I know, Ben Gaetz's father, Mr. Patrick Gaetz, has looked for a lot of investors before, but he didn't find anything after more than 30 years. "
William pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "Really?"
Seeing William, the handsome guy, being defeated, Abigail pursed her lips and nodded with a smile. William's acting was good, making her really believe that William was fooled by Ben Gaetz.
William immediately pretended to be angry and said, "God, Gaetz told me that the secret of the treasure is in the founding of the nation. As long as he can check the founding of the nation, he can find the secret."
Aunt Chopra said sympathetically, "I'm sorry, William. Maybe this is where Mr. Gaetz is smart. He knows that you won't have a chance to check the founding of the nation, so he won't be responsible for a few months after he gets your money.
And we can tell you clearly that the founding of the nation has been checked by our archives for more than 50 years. We routinely check and repair it every year, and we have never found anything special about it. You've been fooled, Mr. Devonshire. "
William looked at Abigail, who was snickering, and pretended to be puzzled, waiting for Abigail's confirmation.
Abigail saw that William was looking at her seriously, so she could only lower her head and cover her mouth and nod.
William sighed, "God, thank you so much. Although it doesn't matter if I lose some money, I think I'll go crazy if I can't find anything after a few years. Thank you, ladies. I think I should treat you to a big meal to thank you."
