After having a Spanish-style dinner with Winston, they drank red wine and chatted for a long time. Winston looked at his watch and saw that it was almost ten o 'clock. Only then did he pass the painting bucket that John Vik had handed over to William.
"Are you sure this is the real deal? I asked Charon to find out before dinner. The real thing seems to have been stolen by another group. "
William looked at the painting bucket in Winston's hand and shook his head with a smile. "I'd better not take this thing. Can you help me get rid of it?"
Winston seemed to be unsurprised by William's reaction. He chuckled and casually threw the painting bucket away. "So, you already know about it. It seems that your intelligence network is pretty good. Not many people know that the people from the DC Special Task Force have been fooled. Or …" Winston laughed inexplicably. "Or is it really in your hands?"
"Haha." William chuckled and did not say anything. He still hadn't decided whether to hide the Declaration of the Founding of the United States or to destroy the numbers and pictures on the back and hand it back.
After all, this document was really too important to the Americans. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was their lifeblood. If they couldn't find it, William would always be suspected as a participant and would definitely be watched by the Americans.
William took a sip of red wine and suddenly asked, "Winston, you should have heard of the treasure of the Knights Templar. Do you think that treasure really exists?"
"Haha, you sly little guy. Don't worry, I'm not interested in the treasure. I'd better make it clear to you, lest a paranoid little guy like you test and doubt me in the future. I'm old, and I don't have the time and energy to waste on you. Do you know how much money I have now?"
William wasn't embarrassed at all when Winston saw through his thoughts. He chuckled and shook his head, thinking that it was at least tens of millions of US dollars. He opened his mouth and said a number that he didn't think was possible. "100 million US dollars?"
Winston laughed. "Haha, I have more than one hundred million US dollars in cash in the bank. Hmm, let me think, it should be about three hundred million US dollars. If you include the assets, it's about five or six hundred million US dollars."
"So much?" William was surprised by the number. "Are all killers so profitable?"
"Haha, you're still young. You've grown too fast. You should know that as long as you stay at the top of the pyramid in any industry, money is not the main problem. I have quite a lot of money. Do you know how much I spend every day?"
"10,000?"
"No, it's zero. I haven't spent a single cent in five or six years." Winston shook his head and sighed. "Are you surprised?"
Of course he was surprised. William asked curiously, "Why is that?"
"Hehe, it's because I don't have anywhere to spend it. A few years ago, I wanted to do a test tube baby for my descendants, but I spent nearly ten years and tens of millions of dollars, but none of them succeeded. The poison my enemy gave me completely made me infertile.
Although I can still do it, I don't even have the mood to find a woman after getting older. Now, I spend 360 days a year in the Continental Hotel. Do you think I need to spend money? "
"Don't you have other hobbies? It would be a pity if you didn't spend all your money when you met God. "
"Hahaha," Winston was very happy that William did not care about his money. "Well, let's not talk about this. I said so much to make you let down your guard against me. I don't have any descendants, and I'm not short of money. I won't covet the secrets of your Devonshire family.
I'll leave the treasure for you to find. I even think you might have found it already. Is the secret of the treasure recorded in the Da Vinci code bucket that Henry left you? "
Even though Winston had said so much, and William already believed that Winston was telling the truth, the black-hearted William still didn't fully believe Winston. If he wasn't greedy for the treasure, he might be greedy for something else. What was a secret? A secret that no one knew about.
William laughed and said, "No, Henry only left me with a set of coordinates. It's the place I went a few days ago, Cape Barrow. I've thought it through. In the past, the Devonshire family was obsessed with the treasure because they were poor. Since I have money now, there's no need to look for the legendary treasure.
Let it stay quietly in a corner and continue to sleep. It's also a tribute to the six founders of the Temple Knights a thousand years ago. No matter what, I'm still a descendant of the Temple Knights. I still have to abide by the agreement of my ancestors. "
After saying that, William raised his wine glass to the sky and roared, "Long live the Temple Knights!" In a low voice, he drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp. "Alright, Winston, it's time for me to go home. I've only stayed in the house I bought in the Upper East Side for a few days. Maybe I'll meet a beautiful woman at night to talk about life and exercise together. Bye, Uncle Winston."
"Ha," Winston rolled his eyes. He did not believe William's nonsense, but he was still very pleased. Some things were not true as long as they were not said.
"William, you really are a member of the Devonshire family. You Devonshire people are naturally suspicious. Good luck, kid. Think before you do anything. In a few days, you'll have a lot of people watching you. Some things don't need evidence, understand?"
"Thank you." Of course, William knew what Winston was talking about. As long as Saedes did not find the founding document in three days, the Americans would definitely find someone else to take charge of the search. By then, William would have a lot of people watching him.
Wasn't the reason why he had done so much in the past few days to destroy the clue of the founding document? As long as there was no evidence to prove the existence of the treasure, the Americans would not dare to openly arrest him.
He was not the one who stole the founding document. Ben Lid and the non-existent thief were the scapegoats. Haha, if the Americans arrested him without any evidence, William would definitely let some people know that the rich were not to be trifled with. Spending a hundred million dollars could make the lawsuit go on until the end of time. As for keeping an eye on him, William laughed in his heart. If they wanted to keep an eye on him, then so be it.
When he came out of the hotel's secret elevator, he saw Cuarón waiting for him by the car that sent him here. Seeing William come out, Cuarón opened the back door for William in a gentlemanly manner.
"Thank you, Cuarón," William said after he sat down. "Send me back to the Upper East Side. Do you know where the house I bought is?"
"Yes, Mr. Devonshire. Mr. Winston has already told me. We have a backup of everything you did in New York. If you need anything in the future, you can look for me. I will do my best to serve you."
"Thank you."
The two of them did not talk much along the way. It took them about ten minutes to reach the main street of the Upper East Side. William looked at the night view of the Upper East Side, but in his heart, he was thinking about the treasure. He was considering if he should go to the underground of Trinity Church to make a teleportation point. When the news died down, he could use the teleportation portal to transport the treasure back to Ox Castle.
When the car drove to XX Street, William suddenly saw a strange-looking building. He thought to himself, Why does it look so familiar? Where have I seen it before?
