After learning that William could inherit the title of Count, Lena had vaguely told William that she would not consider remarrying or finding a boyfriend for the sake of her reputation. Although William agreed with this, he could not say too much about it and could only let nature take its course.
In Europe and America, marriage, divorce, remarriage, and divorce were common. Lena's decision to not remarry for the sake of her child was truly strange. Therefore, if Lena had any thoughts about it, William, who had grown up, had no reason to stop her.
Sigh, William had never wished so much that his dead father, whom he had never even seen a picture of, was still alive.
"Sorry, Gallis. Take a seat first, I have to make a phone call," William stood up and nodded to Gallis.
Garris chuckled and said, "Go ahead." He still hadn't realized how much his words had affected William. If he had known, he would have given himself a big slap in the face.
He walked out of the hall and came to the outside of the castle. He took out his Bluetooth headset and said to Sunday, "Help me search for female bodyguards in China. It's best if they specialize in protecting important people. You can only use normal means. Also, help me check if the Chamber of Commerce in England has any recent cocktail parties or activities."
"Understood, sir," Sunday said after a few seconds, "Sir, the 13th of this month is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Celestial Empire. The people of the Celestial Empire in London will have a meal together on that day. I'll report back to you after I've checked the bodyguards."
William thought for a moment and said, "Well, help me submit an application to the Chamber of Commerce. Tell them that as half of the Celestial Empire's people, I would like to experience the festive atmosphere of the Celestial Empire. Also, tell them that I like the Jade and embroidery of the Celestial Empire very much. I hope to find the Jade and Master Su Xiu of the Celestial Empire through the Chamber of Commerce. Help me prepare two birthday gifts with the Celestial Empire's characteristics for my mother."
"Understood. The application has been sent, sir."
Although William lived in Europe and the United States, he was a citizen of the Celestial Empire in his previous life. If he wanted to find a bodyguard, he would naturally look for one in the Celestial Empire. With William's current status, he believed that as long as he was willing to spend money, he could achieve his goal through his connections among the people.
Everyone had their own social circle. A person from the Celestial Empire who could do business in England would definitely be able to find some connections and know some people of status in his hometown. According to the normal employer-employee relationship, William was not worried that there would be problems.
He didn't believe that he couldn't find the best bodyguard if he paid a high price. If he couldn't find one, it meant that the money wasn't in place. Moreover, he was only responsible for paying for this matter. He didn't care about anything else.
"Sir, Mrs. Lena asked me to inform you that dinner is ready. You can take the guests to the dining room now."
"Got it. Ask my mother to wait for a moment. I'll be there right away." William put aside his thoughts and walked into the hall, leading Garris to the dining room.
Tonight, they had barbecued wild boar chops and fried chicken sandwiches made with pheasant breasts. William wasn't very interested in the barbecued wild boar chops, but the chicken sandwiches were very much to his taste. After eating the large portion of sandwiches that his mother had specially asked the chef to make, William still felt a little unsatisfied.
After dinner, the head chef, Gordon Ramsay, came to the dining room and asked the three people for their opinions on tonight's dishes. Everyone was full of praise for the chicken sandwiches. As for the wild boar chops, only Garris liked it very much. William and his mother, Lena, both felt that it was a little oily and didn't like it very much.
Gordon Ramsay couldn't help but remember this in his heart. Understanding the customer's tastes was also a necessary homework for famous chefs like him. Gordon Ramsay first apologized, then said that in the future, he would make changes according to William and Lena's tastes. He hoped that he would be lucky enough to invite the mother and son to his restaurant to taste it again and give their opinions.
William of course wouldn't embarrass Gordon with such polite words. He immediately agreed that he would definitely go if he had the chance.
After dinner, William was very satisfied with Gordon's team, so he directly wrote a check for 110,000 USD and gave it to Gordon. The extra 10,000 USD was a tip, which made Gordon very happy. After thanking him repeatedly, he took his team back to London.
After sending Garris off, William walked alone in the castle. He walked and walked until he came to the small river outside the castle. After walking along the river for a few minutes, William suddenly stopped and turned to look at the small forest on the side.
"Don't hide, Craig."
As soon as his voice fell, Craig came out from behind the tree with a look of surprise. "How did you know I was here?"
"Haha," William was a person with cheats. In unfamiliar places, he always habitually used his mental strength to perceive the surroundings. "My hearing is very good. It would be strange if I couldn't hear your heavy breathing. And your car was parked at a bad level. It's obvious that you deliberately let me find you."
William stared at the decadent Craig. He saw that Mr. Bond, who was full of energy and confidence a few months ago, now had stubble on his face, his breathing was heavy, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke.
He shook his head. "Since you're not doing well, you should come back early. It's not a good idea to numb the pain with alcohol."
Craig replied in a hoarse voice, "Do you think I should come back? Since you sent me out on a mission, you should trust me. But look at what I'm like now. Maybe you'll understand how I feel when you're shot by your own people like me. "
"Okay, don't complain. I know you have persistence in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn't have rushed back to England as soon as you heard me say I could cure you. I've already prepared the doctor and equipment, but are you sure you're ready to return?"
William said he could cure him, but he just gave Craig a way out. He didn't come back just because he couldn't get over being shot by his own people. Otherwise, his injuries wouldn't be able to be cured. Now that William had exposed his thoughts, Craig surprisingly didn't get angry.
He just sighed heavily. "Come on, I've been ready since I came back. I hope the doctor you find won't cripple me. Otherwise, I really can only retire."
Craig was different from William, who was selfish and had no sense of national honor. He was a true patriot. Once he figured it out, he would come back immediately. A person with such a strong sense of mission was definitely a good fighter.
"Don't worry, you're such a good helper. I can't bear to cripple you. You should have heard of cell regeneration technology. In order to let you recover faster, I spent 500,000 pounds on the black market to order a special cell regeneration first aid kit that's still in the laboratory. It can speed up your recovery by more than ten times. I promise you'll get better soon."
William didn't buy any cell regeneration first aid kit at all. He just said that to hide the healing magic. "However, in order to keep it a secret, you'll be in a coma during the operation. Is that okay?"
"Hehe, as long as I can get better quickly, I don't care what you do to me," Craig said with a smile.
"F * ck you, I didn't expect you to be such a person. Bastard, stay away from me in the future." William shuddered. "Let's go. We'll go to the castle first. After you're done, get out of here immediately."
"Mm." Craig might have wanted to deliberately disgust William. He followed William and said, "You're so rich, you can actually try. Many rich people in England like special ways of communication."
"Damn it!" William suddenly grabbed Craig's collar and threw him into the river by the side with his arm.
When Craig's head popped out of the water, William scolded, "Are you awake? If you're awake, get out of here yourself."
Craig laughed loudly as he looked at William, who was walking back in a flustered and exasperated manner. His depressed mood for the past few months suddenly improved a lot.
It seemed that when he was unhappy, he would feel a lot better if he could see others who were even more unhappy than him. It was true that happiness was built on other people's pain, especially when this pain was used on people of higher status than him.
