"Let go of me, William. Now, Abigail has taken the declaration back. My efforts were in vain. Damn it, get out of my way. Don't touch me," Ben Gaitz shouted angrily.
William let go of Ben Gaitz. Ben Gaitz pretended to be very agitated and even wanted to hit him.
William was amused, but he said loudly to calm down. He deliberately put out his hands to block Ben Gaitz. He said as he stepped back to let Ben Gaitz see clearly that there was no place to hide in his hands or clothes.
Ben Gaitz was secretly happy to see that he was really scared away. He waved his fist and shouted, "Bastard, don't let me see you again. Go to God, William."
At this time, Riley shouted, "Hurry up, Ben. The alarm is off. Hurry up."
Ben Gaitz heard Riley's reminder and quickly turned to get into the car. Abigail, who ran to the side door of the archive, saw that the two were about to escape. She shouted to William, "Stop them, William. The police are coming. We are all suspects."
Abigail's voice was what William wanted. He pretended to be reminded by Abigail and quickly ran to the car, patting the back door with his hand.
Riley ignored William at this time. He stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out. William was hit by the side of the car and immediately fell on the declaration under the car.
Lying on the ground, William quietly put the authentic Declaration of the Founding of a Nation into his storage space. After lying on the ground for a few seconds, he got up and dusted off his hands and clothes. When Abigail saw William fall, she immediately ran towards him.
As she ran, she cried out, "How are you, dear? Are you hurt?"
Seeing William pretend to be in pain, Abigail was scared and cried. She hugged William and apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay, it's okay, Abby. I'm not hurt. I just fell and my knee hurts. It's nothing serious. Don't worry, dear."
William was touched when he heard Abigail's cries and how worried she was about his injury. He quickly hugged Abigail, whose makeup was smudged from crying, and comforted her. "Okay, okay, my dear, I'm fine. Don't worry. Let's quickly return the manifesto. When the police come, we can clear our names."
Seeing that William was really fine, Abigail stopped crying. She held William's arm, nodded, and followed William back to the archive.
Before the two of them crossed the road, they saw several security guards rushing out of the side door. When Abigail saw the security guards, she quickly said, "Quick, call the police. It was Ben Getz who stole the manifesto, but William and I got it back."
The security guards all knew Abigail. One of them hurriedly took out his walkie-talkie and said something. Several other security guards stayed by Abigail's side and led her and William back to the archives.
Back in the banquet hall, Abigail handed the manifesto in her hand to the anxious curator and several other people in charge.
Everyone was relieved when they saw the manifesto in the curator's hand. However, a sharp-eyed person in charge suddenly exclaimed, "Curator, this may not be the real founding manifesto. It's not that new."
Everyone was so nervous just now that they didn't pay much attention. When the curator heard his colleague's words, he quickly took a closer look at the manifesto in his hand.
The curator's heart immediately sank. "God." With trembling hands, he carefully opened the manifesto with another colleague. Before they opened half of it, they saw the scanned label on the replica.
The people around them gasped. Something big had happened.
William was secretly happy. This time, Ben Getz was definitely the scapegoat. After leaving the archive, he would never be able to explain himself. Even if he was caught by the police and said that the manifesto in his hand was fake, no one would believe him.
William tried hard to pretend to be worried and uneasy to cooperate with the people around him. Fortunately, Abigail cried again. William quickly lowered his head and hugged Abigail to comfort her.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter. It was really hard to hold it in, especially when he looked at the Americans around him who looked like their parents had died.
In order to not let himself laugh, William tried hard to divert his attention. He carefully thought about whether there were any loopholes in tonight's matter. After he figured out that there were no loopholes, William thought about the follow-up.
Tonight was destined to be a restless night. The people from the Bureau of Investigation would definitely question him in a while. William was thinking about how to deal with the people from the Bureau of Investigation.
Thinking about it, William suddenly thought that if he sent someone to snatch the fake manifesto from Ben Getz's hands, wouldn't Ben Getz be even more confused? Would he be able to turn the Bureau of Investigation's attention to the treasure snatcher?
The more William thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. As long as he found an assassin to snatch it and arranged for John Vic to kill the assassin, things would become more complicated.
But if that's the case, shouldn't John Wick be killed as well?
Then William rejected the idea because he couldn't get out and didn't have time to deal with John Vic in time. He could only wait for the Bureau of Investigation to come and clear his name first.
Strangely enough, Ben Getz and Riley's voices kept coming from William's earpiece.
Riley wanted to go back to Ben Getz's house to test if there was really a secret behind the manifesto, but Ben Getz shook his head in denial. He knew that his identity had been exposed and going back home would only be walking into a trap.
In the end, the two decided to go to Pittsburgh and find Ben Getz's father before the Bureau of Investigation because they needed some letters, some letters from Benjamin.
William had been listening to Ben Getz and Riley's words and guessed that John Vic might have been following the two of them. He wanted to call John Vic to confirm, but it was really inappropriate to call at this time when there were so many people around.
The microphone couldn't be used either. When he entered the security check, he put the microphone in the storage space. William reached out and tapped his earpiece a few times. After a few seconds, he heard John Vic's voice. "Boss, I've followed Ben Getz. What's the next step?"
William knocked once and heard John Vic ask, "Follow? Knock once and follow? "
William knocked again and John Vic said, "Understood, follow."
Within a few minutes, a large number of detectives from the Bureau of Investigation came and surrounded the archive.
Not long after, a man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties walked onto the stage and said, "Everyone, I'm Sedes from the Washington Special Task Force. A special case happened here tonight. No one is allowed to leave, but I guarantee your personal safety. I hope you will cooperate. Thank you."
Why is he from the Special Task Force and not the Bureau of Investigation? William wondered. Suddenly, he saw the bald Church and was shocked. He wondered why Church was here. Wasn't he from the New York Special Task Force?
As soon as Church stepped onto the stage, he observed the people around him and soon saw William standing in the middle of the crowd with a beautiful woman in his arms.
Church smiled and said something to Sedes beside him. Not long after, a few security guards came over and said to William, "Mr. Devonshire, please come with me. The Special Task Force wants to see you alone."
