He walked into the church and found Gary talking to M. Gary smiled and nodded to William. M. was surprised to see William. It was well known that she didn't like William, but as the initiator of the funeral, M. had no choice but to smile at William. However, this smile was uglier than crying in William's eyes. She shook hands with William and said, "Thank you for coming, William. Craig would be very happy if he knew."
"My condolences, madam. Maybe Craig isn't dead, but he's faking his death to hide somewhere and enjoy his retirement. Craig is a pretty good guy. If I didn't die after being shot by my own people, I would definitely come back and kill everyone involved."
William didn't like M., just like how M. didn't like William. If there was an opportunity, William would definitely take the opportunity to insult her and make things difficult for her. He would also create some obstacles for Craig when he returned. He would take the opportunity to steal some credit and scheme against the Security Committee at the same time.
M.'s expression was ugly as she listened to William's ridicule. "Maybe. I hope what you said is true. Sorry, William, I have to greet the others."
William politely said, "Go ahead." He looked around and saw that there was no one else he needed to greet. M. was angry with him.
M walked angrily to his subordinate and complained, "God, the Devonshire family are all bastards. William is as disgusting as his grandfather, Henry. As long as he has the chance, he will never let go of the opportunity to slander others. What Craig is faking his death to avoid responsibility? Bastard, William doesn't even know Craig, yet he dares to spout nonsense in front of me. God, just looking at William's face makes me feel disgusted. I just want to end this as soon as possible and make him disappear from my sight."
M.'s assistant, Bill Turner, looked gloomily at William, who was looking at him with a smile. In his heart, he complained that William didn't know how to respect his elders. There was no need to make things unpleasant every time she met M.
At 10 o 'clock in the morning, the funeral was held on time. Seeing the coffin without the body being put into the grave and listening to the priest's funeral speech, William found it funny. He didn't know what the expressions of these people at the funeral would be like when Craig came back.
After attending Craig's funeral, Garris dragged William, who wanted to go back to Oxford, to his office. If it weren't for the fact that William wanted to hear what benefits Garris would give him, he wouldn't have been able to move William even with his bodyguard and driver.
After entering the office, Garris poured a glass of whiskey for William. Looking at the impatient William sitting in the office chair, Garris suddenly didn't know what to say.
William had grown too fast in the past six months. His ability to make money was top-notch, his fame was top-notch, and now he had connections with the king and dukes. If it weren't for the fact that he had some trump cards in his hands, Garris wouldn't know what to say to William.
The two were silent for a few minutes. Garris played the emotional card and said, "God, since I've helped you block all the trouble, please help me this time. This matter is really tricky. I don't even know who to trust now."
"I'm sorry, Garris. It's not that I don't want to help you, but it's too troublesome to find a mole. Those who can fight against you are definitely not simple. Not only will I not gain anything from finding trouble with those people, but I'll also be targeted by the person behind the scenes. I'll make an enemy out of a big force for no reason."
William continued to brush off Garris. Playing the emotional card was useless for someone like William who only cared about money. If you wanted William to do something, just say the benefits. Otherwise, William might as well stay at home and continue to transport treasures.
He had only brought back gold and jewels from the Paladin's treasure. There was still a large number of gold coins, silver coins, gold and silver objects, statues, books, and oil paintings waiting for him to deal with.
Although those books and oil paintings were difficult to deal with and he didn't dare to touch them, the other treasures could definitely be transported back to the castle in Oxford with some time. Only by moving them back to his own home would he be able to rest assured.
Therefore, in the face of Garris' pleading face, William's heart didn't waver at all. He shook his head and said, "I don't have time. Maybe you can go to a remote area in Morocco and look for Craig. I have a feeling that guy isn't dead. He's definitely hiding and licking his wounds."
Garris rolled his eyes at William. "Do you think we'll give up on looking for him? After all, we haven't found his body. But have you thought about it? So what if we find him? It's true that he was shot by an M4 and fell off a bridge dozens of meters high. Even if he's still alive, he's definitely crippled. Plus, we don't even know if Craig will hold a grudge because he was shot by a colleague. This funeral is for Craig. Some people are very worried that Craig won't be able to think things through and will come back to take revenge on them. "
Haha, if this happened to William, William would definitely take revenge. "Can't you find a suitable person among all the outstanding secret services in England? I don't believe that you don't have someone better than Craig."
Garris looked angrily at William's stubbornness. He thought for a moment and sorted out his thoughts in his mind before saying, "After the Black Mountain incident, Craig caught a man called White. When he was interrogating White in a secret safe house, M's personal assistant suddenly fired at White. After luring Craig away, although the assistant was killed by Bond, White, who was shot by the assistant, wasn't fatally injured at all. Instead, he took the opportunity to escape.
William, do you know the seriousness of the matter? The personal assistant of M, who has been in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau for almost 20 years, is actually an enemy. Who do you want me to trust? I don't even dare to trust M now. Many members of the Security Committee are considering letting M retire. "
Ha, he was trying to play the patriotic card after seeing that the emotional card didn't work. However, the patriotic card didn't have any effect on William at all. He didn't love England at all. "You know, Garris, I don't care about Team W at all. I don't even have many team members. What can I do without them? And I don't know anything about the secret services. Not only can I not help you, I might even make things worse. You'd better cooperate with other departments and transfer some veterans over. Or, I can donate some funds to you. I can't guarantee anything else, but donating a few hundred thousand pounds won't be a problem."
"F * ck, do we look like people who lack a few hundred thousand pounds?" Garris couldn't wait to beat William up. This bastard didn't even think about how much trouble he had blocked for him. Now that things were over, he was burning the bridge after crossing the river.
"Well, William, let me show you something." After that, he took out a few documents from his desk drawer and handed one of them to William.
William took the document and flipped through it. After reading it, his face turned a little red. He looked at Garris with a little embarrassment. It turned out that the document showed all the troubles that Garris had blocked for William.
"Understood. I blocked all these troubles for you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to live comfortably in Oxford. I've helped you so much. Now it's time for you to repay me."
William thought silently in his heart. After thinking for a few minutes, William said, "Shouldn't you be helping me deal with these troubles? Don't forget that I had your authorization in Miami. I was just defending myself in Montenegro.
In front of dozens of kidnappers with AKs, I had unlimited defense rights. Besides, I saved hundreds of guests and several security guards. Even Montenegro didn't do anything about it. Why should you care?
