At lunch, only William and Craig were there. Lena went to Oxford University to discuss with the school about re-funding the Oxford University College of Arts and setting up the Devonshire Literature Scholarship.
The Devonshire Scholarship had been broken for two generations after his great-grandfather's death. Moreover, the wall outside his castle was torn down by Oxford University to build the school building, so William did not care about this matter at all.
However, after Lena realized that she did not have to worry about money in the future, she wanted to restore the reputation of the Devonshire family in Oxfordshire. Therefore, she picked up this tradition that had been broken for two generations.
In order to make his mother happy, William did not stop her from giving him a small amount of money. After all, it was just a literature scholarship, not a high-tech or military scholarship.
60 years ago, the Devonshire family sponsored the College of Arts and Sciences with 2,000 pounds a year. Now, under William's persuasion, Lena happily went to Oxford University with a check for 1,000,000 pounds.
At around 11 o 'clock, she called William and said that she would not be back for lunch at noon. The dean of the Oxford University College of Arts and Sciences and the deans of several other colleges held a small banquet at noon to thank the Devonshire family for their kindness.
This was a group effort to take advantage of the situation. They really thought Lena was an idiot. Today's 1,000,000 pounds was only agreed to by William after Lena agreed. She had only wanted to donate 200,000 pounds.
.....
During the meal, William saw that Craig was hesitating and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask. Why are you hesitating?"
Hearing this, Craig pointed to the glasses hanging in the pocket of his suit and said, "William, did you invent an artificial intelligence system? I communicated with it before lunch and found that this system is much more advanced than the one in our Special Task Force. How did you do it?"
"How did you do it?" William's face stiffened. This subsystem that limited 99.9% of its functions and intelligence made the experienced and knowledgeable Craig so surprised that he did not dare to ask more. He was afraid that he would touch on William's core secrets. If he knew the complete Sunday, he would be so scared that he would have a heart attack.
"What else can I do? I just sit in front of the monitor and type furiously on the keyboard," William said honestly.
These words made Craig roll his eyes fiercely. This was treating him like an idiot. He didn't even want to use some useless technical terms to brush him off.
"Well, besides hating rich people who don't treat money as money, I hate smart people who treat others like idiots.
Even if you think I don't understand, as a noble, where are your gentlemanly manners? In your eyes, do you think I don't even understand the basic principles? "
"Yeah." William nodded affirmatively. "Talking to you about artificial intelligence is a waste of saliva."
Craig was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. After lunch, Craig said goodbye to William and agreed to meet in London tomorrow.
.....
The next day, William was sitting in the garden with his mother after breakfast. He had just finished eating and was chatting with his mother about scholarships to the Faculty of Arts and other colleges when he received a call from Garris Mallory.
On the phone, Garris told William that Bond was still alive as William had expected. He called to ask William to go back to London to test Bond and see if he was suitable for a mission.
William, who had been waiting for the whole morning, talked for a few minutes before pretending to reluctantly agree to go to London.
"Who are you trying to fool?" William walked a dozen steps away when he was on the phone. Lena couldn't hear what he was saying, but she saw William's expression clearly. No one was as wise as William. She knew that William was trying to fool people just by looking at his expression.
William wouldn't tell his mother about this. He never told Lena what he did outside, so he just kissed his mother on the cheek, apologized, and told her that he had to go to London to deal with something.
Then he drove to London under Lena's complaining eyes. On the way, he called M's assistant, Bill Turner, and asked him to take him to the headquarters.
After the headquarters of the Secret Service was bombed by Silva, they moved to a new place. William, who usually didn't care about this, didn't know where the new headquarters was.
It took more than an hour to drive to the place where he and Bill had agreed to meet. As soon as he got out of the car, he heard a few honks from a Land Rover not far away. William turned his head and saw Bill sitting in the driver's seat.
William got in the car and said hello to Bill. The car drove for more than 20 minutes into a slope and turned into an underground fortress. As soon as he got out of the car, Bill explained to William.
"This is the underground of Churchill Castle. Many places were built in the 18th century. A few decades ago, this place was used as a secret headquarters. There is no problem with security, except for those damn rats."
The two walked for a long time before they entered the underground fortification. William looked at the busy lobby and said, "How many days has it been? Why is it still so messy?"
"It can't be helped. It took three days just to move the servers from the headquarters, not to mention those confidential paper documents. Every document needs to be personally reviewed and signed by the person in charge. These office equipment were only delivered yesterday. If it happens again, everyone will go crazy."
After saying this, Bill quickly slapped his mouth and said with an embarrassed expression, "Let's go. I'll take you to see Bond. The higher-ups said that you'll be in charge of the test."
William had a good impression of Bill and said, "Oh, you're right. It won't be long before you have to move again, unless you don't want the new headquarters and stay underground with the rats."
"Hmm, did you hear something?" Bill, who was walking in front, turned around and asked.
"Just wait. For the sake of our reputation, we can't let you stay here forever," William said perfunctorily. Fortunately, he didn't say that the new headquarters was across the river from the old headquarters. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain in the future.
Bill saw that William wanted to talk about the new headquarters, so he could only take William to the testing room.
After a few minutes, Bond and a few people in white coats knocked on the door and walked in.
Today, Craig's complexion looked much worse than yesterday. It was even worse than the day before yesterday when he hadn't been treated. William secretly gave Craig a look of appreciation.
After the few kinesiologists brought the testing equipment for Bond, William said, "Let's start. I really don't know what's there to test." After saying that, he sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
After a few tests, the kinesiologists discussed for a while and walked to William's side. "Bond's physical condition is very poor. I don't recommend that he go out into the field again."
"Okay, I got it." William took the test report and walked to Craig's side. "Let's go, Mr. Bond. Let's test the marksmanship and then the mental test."
The marksmanship test went without saying. Craig deliberately went easy on him. He couldn't even hit the 8 points at a distance of ten meters. The CZ83 pistol only scored 57 points with 10 bullets.
William shook his head and didn't say anything to Craig. He sent away the few staff members who were recording and taking notes.
Although William didn't say anything, everyone could tell from William's expression that he was looking at him with disdain. Craig also played along and turned to leave with a livid face.
