As soon as they left the castle and walked across the grass, William smiled at Craig and began to jog. Craig looked at William who was jogging and understood that this was a test of his physical strength. His competitive spirit rose and he began to run as well.
But after running for more than ten minutes, Craig became more and more discouraged. He never thought that his physical strength would drop to this point. After running for a while, he was already panting heavily.
When William began to speed up and ran for five minutes, Craig was already unable to keep up. Seeing this, William began to slowly slow down. Running was just a test to let Craig understand his current physical condition so that he wouldn't make a wrong judgment during the mission.
After slowing down and walking for a few minutes, William smiled and looked at Craig, who had his hands on his knees. "You have to stop drinking, man. If you drink any more, you'll be completely ruined."
Craig nodded in understanding and said while panting, "Don't worry, I'll quit. Before, I was just giving up on myself and using alcohol to numb the pain. Now that I have a goal, it's easy for me to stop drinking."
William didn't doubt this. He had read Craig's information and knew how strong this guy's willpower was. "Well, since you should have recognized your situation, let's talk about this mission."
"Go ahead." Craig straightened his body and looked at William seriously.
"Put on your glasses. It's easier this way."
Craig didn't ask much and obediently put on his glasses. Soon, a photo appeared on his glasses. Before he could ask, he heard a mechanical voice introducing Patrice's information from his headset.
"This guy is the person you wanted to capture three months ago."
Craig listened to Sunday's introduction of the equipment and said to William, "That's right, it's him. If I hadn't had an accident, I would have caught him three months ago."
William didn't comment on this statement. If it was so easy to catch, there wouldn't have been a M ordering Craig's deputy to shoot and help him.
"I received news that Patrice will go to Lion City to carry out some kind of mission, but this guy is just a small character. He's more or less a private thug who works for money. The mastermind behind this is someone else. Haha, his identity is really surprising."
"So the opponent is really one of us?" Craig asked tacitly.
William did not keep him in suspense. "Smart. The mastermind is called Silva, and he used to be M's trusted aide. He had been working with M in Asia since 1985 until three years ago, in 7991, when he was hunted down for attacking the network of a big Asian country without permission. I don't know why M gave up on Silva and let him go on the hunt.
You can understand the rest yourself. After being caught, for some reason, Silva escaped. After Silva escaped death and made preparations, he began to use his understanding of the Special Task Force to take revenge on them. His ultimate goal was nothing more than to ruin M's reputation and kill M himself. "
This news made Craig feel relieved. An opponent hiding in the dark and an opponent exposed were two completely different things. If a big country wanted to deal with a rat who exposed his identity, as long as he was caught, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would die. "Looks like we'll be able to catch him soon."
"Sorry," William shrugged. "If it was the secret service of another country, it would be easier to catch him, but Silva is too familiar with the English secret service. He knows the blind spots of our forces, so it won't be that easy to catch him.
And he's a veteran. If he hadn't been betrayed by M, no one would have been able to catch him three years ago. Now that he's suffered a big loss, Silva is even more careful. I spent tens of millions of dollars to get some vague information. "
"Tens of millions of dollars?" Craig was stunned. "You paid for the information yourself? It looks like the benefits given to you by the Security Committee are very, very big, so big that a capitalist like you is willing to invest regardless of the cost. "
"Haha," William looked at Craig with a smile. He wouldn't say that there was no 10 million dollars at all. The information was all from his own memory. He said that he bought it with money just to hide the source of the information. At the same time, there had to be a reasonable reason to fake the accounts. The more he paid, the more justified he would be when he reached out to take the benefits.
"There will only be returns if there is effort. The power of money is the strongest superpower. If it's not, then it's not enough money.
If it weren't for the fear of scaring Silva and never showing up in the future, I would have put up a 20 million dollar mission on the dark net. When the time comes, there will be a lot of dark forces to solve the problem for me and send Silva to me to receive the reward. "
Craig shook his head bitterly and sighed. "I hate you capitalists. Everything to you is just a matter of how much money you spend and how little money you have. Afterwards, you can even earn back the money you have spent from above."
William rolled his eyes. This was not a common trait of capitalists. Everyone was like this.
"I suspect that there is a large force behind Silva. This force is very good at network invasion. The explosion at the Secret Service headquarters a few days ago was caused by the opponent using the network to invade the headquarters system and open the gas valve.
My plan is for you to go back to London today and report to M, using the opponent's spies who have infiltrated the Special Task Force to show weakness to them.
So don't perform too well when you go back. It's best to make people think that you are almost useless and lower the opponent's vigilance. Then I will find someone to put on a show and deliberately make things difficult for you to embarrass you. "
Craig looked at William in confusion. He didn't understand why William was doing this.
"Hehe," William's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Say, if you were accidentally injured by a colleague and almost died, and you were bent on revenge and met a former colleague who had the same experience, what would you do?"
Craig quickly understood and chuckled.
"If our plan succeeds, the more we belittle you and make things difficult for you, Silva may have the idea of winning you over. If my guess is correct, Silva can only talk to you face to face if he wants to win you over. This will give us a chance to get in touch with him. Once the rat comes out of the sewer and is exposed to the sun, he can forget about escaping."
"Understood, hehe, there is no need to pretend to be decadent. I have been destroying myself almost every day for the past few months, and there is no need to pretend to be physically fit. After three months of no training, my physical functions have regressed greatly. The only trouble is whether to tell M about this."
Craig looked at William calmly.
"Don't worry, I have never doubted M's loyalty to this country, but you have to understand that the opponent used to be M's confidant. He knows her better than we do. Hacking into her computer is as simple as drinking water and eating. Once the rat notices anything, he will slip back into the sewer."
"Okay." In order to catch Silva, Craig didn't feel that there was anything wrong with hiding it from M. He wasn't a good boy to begin with.
William was very satisfied with Craig as a hatchet man because he didn't ask for any benefits at all. For William, who only looked at money, Craig was really the best hatchet man.
After recovering from his injuries, hunting grouse was a piece of cake for Craig, who had been in the army for half his life.
The two of them kept shooting for the next two hours, 'bang, bang, bang'. They were so busy that the two men behind them ran back and forth to pick up the grouse that had been shot. Later, when they couldn't find a single grouse in the area, the two of them stopped.
After getting in the car and returning to the castle, William went to the back of the car and took two grouse. As for the other twenty or so, he ordered the two employees to send them to the stable for everyone to eat.
