William sighed and said, "After hearing you say so much, it seems like I have no choice. Gallis, I'm in now, right?"
"Of course. You have no choice even if you don't want to. The Grand Duke has already convinced the disheartened Earl. Tomorrow, the Earl of Oxford will go to the Parliament of Nobles to register you as his successor. It will also be reported in the media. These are all arranged by Henry. You have no choice but to accept them," Gallis Mallory said to William with a smile.
"Damn it, you guys really can't wait. What do you see in me? Or rather, what are you guys worried about? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so serious about scheming against me."
William asked the question in his heart. He didn't really believe that these people didn't have any requests for him and only wanted to be good people. Why did they think that he was a pig's foot and had the aura of a king?
Gallis Mallory thought about it and decided to tell Eric.
"The Earl of Oxford has always been in charge of the Earl of Oxford. Before Henry passed away, he didn't tell anyone where the regulations were. He only asked us to ensure that you can successfully inherit the title. Only then will you be able to find the regulations. We've been looking for it for ten years and still haven't found it. Consider this a test for you."
"What will happen if I can't find it? Will you guys get angry and kill me?" William asked nervously.
Gallis Mallory looked at him as if he was an idiot. "Idiot, what era is it now? How can you assassinate a noble? Even if you can't find it, you'll already be a noble by then. It's just that you'll never be recognized by us and won't be able to enter the core circle."
Although Gallis Mallory said it casually, William didn't believe him. He knew that he had Chinese blood. No matter how hard he worked, he wouldn't be able to enter the core circle of the English nobles. But if he couldn't enter, then so be it. He didn't care. Why would he find himself so many things to do? As long as he could make money, he would make money. He would enter the core circle of the world.
With the W team in his hands, he could form a special team to protect his assets and family. As for protecting the royal family and dealing with special security issues, it would depend on William's mood. His soul was not from England.
Seeing that William was sitting there in silence, Garris Mallory thought that he knew where the law was. He quickly asked, "William, do you remember? That law is very important. It's great that we can find it."
William thought back to the memories in his mind. It seemed like there were some things that Henry had whispered to him on the hospital bed. However, he still had to verify it.
"If I find it, do I need to show it to you?" William deliberately set up a trap.
Hearing that William wanted to hand over the Oxford Regulations, Garris Mallory hurriedly said, "That would be great, William."
William knew that these fellows were up to no good. The Oxford Regulation was the greatest proof of the Earl of Oxford. The Parliament of Nobles had annotated the Regulation, and the Earl of Oxford who held the Oxford Regulation was the real Earl of Oxford.
He did not know what secrets were hidden in the Regulation that made these nobles so obsessed with it.
"Right, I remember now. Henry seemed to have said something to me. Hmm, what is it?" William looked like he was deep in thought. He even hammered his head from time to time.
William lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. In fact, he was using his mental strength to sense Garris Mallory.
Garris Mallory stared at William, who was deep in thought. He was so nervous that his hands were shaking.
After fooling around with Garris Mallory for a few minutes, Eric slapped his head and said, "I've got it."
"William, what did you think of? Hurry up and tell me." Garris Mallory stood up nervously.
"Ah, Garris, why are you so nervous? Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered that Henry said that after we find the regulation, we just have to take a picture of the third last paragraph and give it to you. Garris Mallory, you're not being honest. Are you trying to trick me?"
William pretended to be angry.
Garris Mallory was worthy of being the chairman of the committee. He immediately realized that William was playing with him in revenge for trying to steal the Devonshire family's secret amulet.
"Damn it, William Devonshire, you bastard. You're just like Henry. That old fox Henry threatened us with the secret that your family has guarded for thousands of years just to let you inherit the title." Garris Mallory could not help but curse at William in public.
William took a sip of wine. "Haha, Garris Mallory, we're all the same. Compared to you, I'm considered better. Haha."
Garris Mallory said angrily, "William Devonshire, you don't know the importance of that regulation. It could change the world. We can't let anything happen to it. The last paragraph of the regulation can't be made public. Otherwise, there will be chaos."
"Okay, okay. Garris Mallory, you're talking as if you know. If you know what it is, why are you asking me for it?" William waved his hand, bored.
"I don't know what's written in the regulation, but the royal family and the Grand Duke of Devonshire know what it is. Henry showed it to the Grand Duke. After that, the Grand Duke warned Henry and the Parliament of Nobles to keep it safe and not let anyone see the last paragraph of the regulation. He said that if the world knew about it, there would be chaos," Garris Mallory growled angrily.
"In other words, only the House of Devonshire cares about the Oxford Regulation. You care about the last paragraph of the regulation?" William asked curiously.
"Yes, the Oxford Regulation is useless to us. Only the House of Devonshire cares about it. We were all frightened by the Grand Duke of Devonshire. We wanted to see what was written in it, but we were also afraid that the Grand Duke's words would come true and the world would be in chaos because of one paragraph."
Gareth Mallory sighed hesitantly.
William's curiosity was piqued by Garris Mallory's dilemma. "I really want to see what's written in the regulation. Garris Mallory, if I say that I'm the owner of the regulation, I don't think there's a problem, right?"
Garris Mallory looked at him with an idiotic expression on his face.
"I hope you find it, but I also hope that you never find it. William, if you find it, it's better if you don't tell me. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the urge to know. If you find it, you can show the picture to the Grand Duke. Only he and His Majesty the King have seen what's written on it. Only they can prove whether you found it or not. But William, don't take too long. The Grand Duke's health isn't very good," Garris Mallory reminded him kindly.
William hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I know how to find that thing. I might not even need a day to find it. Garris Mallory, why don't we go look for it together? That way you won't be curious about what's written on it," William said mischievously.
Garris Mallory's expression immediately became agitated. He wanted to agree, but then he struggled. In the end, he slumped into his chair and scolded, "William Devonshire, you're just as annoying as Henry Winst Devonshire. You're just as despicable, shameless, pranksters. When you see the Earl of Oxford's statement tomorrow, come to Downing Street and look for me. You'll have to reselect your Team W members." After saying that, Garris Mallory ignored William and left without even saying goodbye.
It looked like this guy really had a hard time holding it in. No wonder he was the chairman of the National Security Committee. He had a strong will, strong self-control, and was quite upright.
William suddenly stopped. Why would I think that someone who had been a secret agent for decades was upright? I must have drunk too much.
William picked up the red wine on the table and looked at the 12% alcohol content. He shook his head. It looked like he had drunk too much.
