When he returned to the secret room, William's thoughts sank into his mind. As soon as his power of the will entered his mind, he heard the long-awaited notification from the system. William was overjoyed. The system was reminding him that there was good news.
He had only heard this notification twice. Both times, it was when his magic level increased. Sure enough, William saw the notification in the system bar that his magic level had increased.
His power of the will increased by more than ten times. William felt dizzy for a moment. It took him more than ten minutes to slowly return to normal.
William stretched out his hand with joy. Suddenly, five or six flying daggers appeared around him and began to spin around him. In the past, he could only control two flying daggers at the same time.
His physical strength and quality were also slowly increasing under the magical energy provided by the system. Previously, his physical strength and quality were about seven or eight times that of a normal person. Now, his physical strength and quality were more than ten times that of a normal person. Moreover, William felt that his body was slowly increasing as if he had broken through a bottleneck.
As his physical strength increased, so did his power of the will. William felt that his power of the will could now scan a distance of more than two hundred meters.
This was really a double blessing. He had found the treasure and his strength had increased. The only bad thing was that it would be troublesome if he wanted to find someone to exercise in the future. He couldn't drive the car, but Ambrosius couldn't handle William alone.
Sigh, this was really a happy problem.
Looking at the time, it was almost four o 'clock in the morning. William placed a warning spell at the two secret passageways and directly teleported back to his study.
After changing into his pajamas, he hugged Ambrosius who was sleeping soundly and slept until dawn. At nine o 'clock in the morning, after eating Ambrosius' Brazilian breakfast and sending off his girlfriend who was going to the training camp, William was surprised to receive a call from the church.
"Morning, William, are you free?"
"If you have something to say, just say it. Church, I have something to do later," William said unhappily as he drank the bitter gourd honey juice made by Ambrosius.
"Well, I have a friend here who wants to meet you. She is also English. She said that she knows your grandfather."
"Knows my grandfather?" William thought that the person who knew Henry and was introduced to him by the church must be a secret service agent. "Who is it? Why are you looking for me? "
"She used to be called Victoria Winslow. She's Ben Gates's mother. Now she's called Emily Appleton. I think you should meet her because she's one of you."
"What do you mean by 'our people'? I don't know her. Isn't she a university professor?" William's heart tightened. Although he felt a little guilty, he could not express it verbally. "Sorry, I don't have time. Ben Getz's matter has nothing to do with me. If you want help, you have to look for your colleagues. They are the ones who will handle it."
He didn't want to let Ben Getz off the hook now. The treasure of the Holy Knights was not the biggest treasure. He remembered that there was an even bigger treasure waiting for him in Washington.
At this time, it was better to let Ben Gaitz stay in prison until he found Golden City. Just as he was about to hang up, he heard the doorbell ring.
"Hehe, I heard the doorbell. She should be downstairs. It's up to you whether you want to see her or not. But as a friend who has worked together before, I suggest that you see her. You have to understand a woman who is doing this for her son and ex-husband. God knows what she will do. Good luck, William!"
Church chuckled and hung up the phone.
William had a strange expression on his face as he looked at an old woman with a thin figure and a kind face on the display screen. If the church had not revealed her identity, William would never have guessed that she was in the same profession as him and even belonged to England.
She was already here. If he didn't see her, wouldn't it mean that William had a guilty conscience? Thinking of this, William had to press the button to open the elevator door.
William got up and walked to the elevator door. A minute later, the elevator door opened. Victoria reached out her hand with a smile and said, "Hello, William, I'm Victoria Winslow."
"Hello, madam. I'm William Devonshire. Please come in," William smiled and shook hands with Victoria. He looked at the backpack in Victoria's hand and said, "Please come with me."
The two of them chatted for a long time, and William only promised that if he was needed to appear in court, he would not say that he knew that Ben Getz had stolen the real Founding Declaration and put it in the car.
William's promise made Victoria happy, but the result was not what she wanted. Even if she could prove that Ben Getz did not steal the real Founding Declaration, Victoria knew that Ben Getz would still be jailed for more than ten years or decades.
Victoria picked up the backpack on the ground and said, "Thank you. I think I should return these things to the Devonshire family. They are no longer useful to me. I should go now. William, call me if you have any ideas."
Victoria took out a business card and handed it to William. He sent Victoria to the elevator. William was very puzzled. "She's leaving just like that? Leaving behind the backpack and leaving? "
Looking at the backpack on the table, William had scanned the backpack when Victoria first came up. There was nothing dangerous in it. Using his mental perception, the things in the backpack seemed to be some paper.
Could this information be the dark history of the Devonshire family or something that could be used against them?
William opened the backpack and saw a file bag in the backpack. He opened the bag and took out some very old letters. 'God', he saw that there were photos of a young man and a young woman inside.
When William looked at it a few more times, he suddenly felt that the man in the photo looked like his grandfather Henry. When he carefully identified the woman in the photo, she looked like Victoria just now. After flipping through the documents, William suddenly saw a marriage certificate with Henry and Victoria on it.
William was shocked. He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number that Victoria had just given him.
The call was connected after two seconds. "Hello, William."
Without waiting for Victoria to say anything, William asked angrily, "Victoria, don't tell me that Ben's surname is not Gates, but Devonshire?"
"Hehe, sorry, William," Victoria laughed for a while and said with a teasing tone, "I forgot to tell you that Ben is only 34 years old now. Those letters and documents are from more than 40 years ago. You should see the date on the documents clearly, William."
Hearing this, William let out a big sigh of relief. God, it's good that they're not relatives. He really thought that Ben Gates was his grandfather's illegitimate son. If that was the case, William felt that not only would he not save Ben Gates, he might even kill him directly.
"Then why did you and Henry break up, and what do you want to do by leaving these things to me? Are you threatening me? "
Victoria paused for a few seconds. "Open the door, I'm downstairs. Now we can talk officially. As your grandfather's wife, your grandmother wants to talk to you, William."
"FXXK, you're not my grandmother, you're just Henry's ex-wife," William shouted angrily.
"But it's an indisputable fact that Henry and I were married."
