William parked his car near London Bridge and got out of the car. Not long after, a Range Rover stopped in front of William. The window on the front passenger seat rolled down, and a Caucasian man in his thirties asked William, "William Devonshire?"
William nodded, and the man in the car said, "Get in."
After getting into the car, the car drove into Westminster City and into Downing Street, and into a building with a sign on the door.
After being led to the tenth floor, William saw a skinny middle-aged woman in her forties as soon as he stepped out of the elevator. William saw that her name tag was Catherine Davis.
Catherine Davis said to the staff who led him up, "I'll bring him to Garris's office. You can go do your work."
After that, she ignored the staff and led William into Garris's office.
After entering, William saw Garris quickly get up and say to the middle-aged woman, "Hey, Catherine, what brings you here?"
Catherine said with a straight face, "I was just about to go to the archives when I bumped into this little guy, so I brought him here for you. I'll go now. Go do your work."
"Okay, thank you, Catherine." Garris quickly opened the door for her and sent the middle-aged woman away.
After Garris closed the door, William looked around Garris's office. It was nothing special, just a desk, a few filing cabinets, a few chairs, and a wine cabinet. He shook his head. It was too simple. William teased Garris, "Garris, isn't it too simple? You don't even have a sofa, and you don't even have a beautiful secretary. Your department is really poor. Oh right, who was that middle-aged woman just now? You're such a bootlicker, is she your old lover?"
"Damn it, William, shut up. Her name is Catherine Davis, and she's the head of the Cabinet's Security Committee. You bastard, she's the star of hope that everyone thinks highly of. She has a high chance of entering the Cabinet. Shut your mouth and be careful the next time you see her. Even I have to listen to her. She's famous for not being easy to talk to."
Seeing Garris so nervous, William was relieved that Catherine didn't hear him. Otherwise, he would be in trouble. "Good thing she didn't hear me, or I'd be in trouble. Garris, can't you send someone to wait for me outside the elevator? If I'm unlucky, I'll say that I heard you talking about me in private."
Garris rolled his eyes at William. He couldn't stand him being so friendly and scolded, "Shut your mouth. I haven't even asked you what you've been doing for the past two days, and you're already slandering me. You must have had a great time these past two days. Tsk tsk, she's really a beauty. You're lucky."
"Ha, it's just so-so. Look at how handsome and rich I am. Isn't it normal for beauties to come knocking on my door?" William shamelessly boasted as he pulled out a chair and sat in front of Garris.
"Now I know how shameless you are." Garris took out a large file from his desk drawer and handed it to William.
William opened the file and poured out the contents on the desk. There were two documents and ten files.
Garris said to William, "These are your documents. One of them is the leader of the power maintenance team of the London Electric Company. It's used to cover your identity. The other one is the ID of the Military Intelligence Bureau. You're in charge of handling emergencies and are only under the leadership of the committee. These ten files are for your team members. Fill them up and hand them to the secret bunker. You know where the secret bunker is outside Buckingham Palace, right?"
William picked up the two documents, glanced at them, and put them down. He said, "Of course I know where the secret bunker is. Garris, I'm so famous now. Do I still need the power company's cover? No one would believe me even if I took it out. "
Garris smiled strangely. "That's your business. Why don't you buy the London Electric Company? I'll give you my chairman's documents. How about that?"
William said angrily, "If I don't do that, why would I want this lousy company? It's losing so much money every year. It's just asking for trouble."
"The power company is very cheap now. The whole London Electric Company is only 70 million pounds. The losses are mainly due to the aging of the circuit and the outdated equipment. If you buy it and modify it, you might be able to make money, "Garris said.
"I don't want that. I can make more money with that money. Besides, who doesn't know that the power company union is difficult to deal with? I don't want to deal with those guys. Let's talk about the team I'm in charge of. As the leader, do I have to go to the headquarters to work? I don't want to see that old hag, Mrs. M, every day. "
"Ha, old hag, you really dare to say that." Garris nodded in agreement. He didn't like Mrs. M. She had been in the Military Intelligence Bureau for too long. She ran the Bureau like an iron bucket. The committee couldn't intervene even if they wanted to.
"Your team doesn't have to go to the headquarters. You're the emergency team. If you find any situation and need information, you can come to me if you want to investigate. I have the files of all the members of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
After you've formed your team, according to the rules, you have to send a copy of the team's name list to the Dark Castle. You don't have to tell anyone except yourself. You can investigate the people you think are problematic. Of course, you have to have evidence for everything. At the same time, you have to accept the missions I assign, "Garris said.
"That means if you don't have any missions for me, I can do nothing," William said happily.
"Sigh, it's not the 1990s anymore. There aren't so many special cases in the country. Now, everything needs evidence. Without evidence, nothing can be done. Our hands and feet are tied. If we don't have to do anything, we won't make any mistakes. Let the Military Intelligence Bureau do the dangerous and troublesome things. Now, the higher-ups are most afraid of being exposed. If the public knows, nothing good will happen. Anyway, you're a millionaire.
"Ha, you're trying to trick me. You guys just can't bear to part with the power in your hands, right? Forget it, I don't want to take back my power anyway. It's best that you guys keep it in your hands. I don't need to worry about it. I'm still so young, and it's time for me to enjoy life. Besides, I don't even have a son, so I don't want to be without an heir in the future. Gallis, you guys better not come looking for me for anything.
William didn't believe what Garris said. These guys only wanted to use him as a hired thug. If there was any dirty work, they would let him do it. If there were no benefits, he wouldn't serve them. He would let them fight with Mrs. M while he watched from the side.
"Then how do I recruit people?"
"You can recruit whoever you want. You can also look for them in the archives. You can also look for them in society. The most important thing is that they are reliable." Garris took out a business card and handed it to William. "This is one of our archives in London. It contains the files of people with low confidentiality levels. You can recruit people in the police force or the army, but you have to control your team members well. Don't let them mess around. If there's trouble, you have to deal with it yourself. You're a special operation, right? And you have to be responsible for the funds. I can only provide you with equipment and some government status. I won't let you be targeted by the government. "
William took the business card and looked at the address. This is the address of the London Library. What can I find here? He looked at Garris in confusion.
