Seeing William's inquisitive look, Gallis explained, "The basement of the London Library is an archive room with a low level of confidentiality. There are all kinds of files in there."
"I can see these confidential files now?" William asked.
Gallis nodded and said, "This is a benefit for us insiders. A lot of the files are kept by the nobles' secret forces. I still have the right to open some files to you.
But William, many of our people now know your true identity, so you must be careful to keep it a secret. Some of the old guys are waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. "
William was annoyed by Gallis's mocking look. "Go to hell, Gallis," William didn't know why these guys wanted him to form a secret group. Was there a need for that? It hadn't appeared for ten years.
"Is it really necessary for me to form a group? Can't you just give me an identity? I don't want to go through so much trouble anyway."
Gallis was silent for a while before he whispered to William, "If the Earl of Oxford could give birth to an heir, you wouldn't have to do anything. The formation of the W Group would also be handed over to him. But in the past ten years, he hasn't been able to seize the opportunity given to him by God. Without an heir, there are too many variables. No one would feel comfortable letting him know our secrets. Plus, with Henry's arrangements, this responsibility has fallen to you. In short, as long as you have this identity, it will be very convenient for you to do many things in the name of the government.
William, we are in a very difficult situation now. Many people want to replace us. We need power to protect ourselves. Many of us have secret groups like yours. We are just ensuring that we have the right to live. We can only be at ease with power in our hands. "
William was silent after hearing Gallis's words. He thought to himself, "Yeah, isn't the most fundamental reason for all human activities to live? Even if I don't have a System, there are too many opportunities for me to become a millionaire after my rebirth. If I want to protect my wealth and family, I must have the power to protect myself. I can use this opportunity to build my own power. This is the same as the original intention of Gallis and the others.
He also had to think about how to guard against the hands that were reaching out to him in the dark. Moreover, magic was not omnipotent. Unless absolutely necessary, William did not want to be exposed to the public. He did not want to become the public enemy of the world like the mutants in the movies because there would be too many people who would want to get their hands on his magic power.
However, William would not be soft-hearted when it came to a matter of life and death. Anyway, this world was a movie world, not the China of his previous life. If he destroyed it, so be it. He would take his mother, Lena, and teleport away with a concealed identity. He would then go back and take revenge. He wanted to see who could withstand the revenge of a magician who could appear anywhere and anytime.
After William and Garris parted ways, he understood why Garris and the others insisted on forming their own team. This made William feel a lot more at ease. Wasn't it just a semi-private armed force hidden in the government? After finding so many reasons to cover up, it seemed that Garris and the others were in a very difficult situation. They had to turn their power to the shadows.
As long as it did not affect their interests, these teams hidden in various departments were legitimate government forces. After all, they were also English. However, if someone wanted to get rid of Garris and the others, then these hidden teams would become the knives in Garris and the others' hands, cutting down their enemies.
William drove to the London Library. After flashing his power company ID, the staff understood and led William to the underground archive room.
After teaching William how to use the computer, the staff went about their own business. William looked at the list of information on the police, military, and even mercenaries. He curiously clicked on the mercenaries' information. Good heavens, why is there so much information on mercenaries? William flipped through and suddenly saw a familiar face.
He saw a big man with a Van Dyke beard, a body full of muscles, a skull and a crow tattooed on his arm, and a beret on his head. At first glance, he looked like a middle-aged man who was not to be trifled with.
Looking at the information, it said that Barney Ross was good at fighting, charging, and had the ability to fire six shots in one second. The mercenary name was: Suicide Squad.
William was speechless. Wasn't this the suicide squad played by Stallone? In this world, this guy was really called Barney Ross.
His team members were Christmas Lee (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Caesar (Terry Cruise), Toll Road (Randy Kudrow), and Gunnar Jensen (Duff Lang Ge).
This was really unexpected. William looked at Uncle Stallone's face and felt that it was funny.
One was a commander, one was a member of the England Special Air Service Regiment, one was an expert in close combat, one was a long-range weapons expert, one was an explosives expert, and one was a long-range sniper. Although they were all old guys, these guys were all experts. The mission completion rate was 100%, and the fee was also very high. One mission cost at least one million USD.
William got up and went to the archives to find all the information on the suicide squad. Looking at Christmas Lee's information, he picked up the phone and called Christmas.
Beep, beep, beep, the phone was picked up after a few rings.
"Hello, hello," Christmas's voice came from the phone.
"Hello, Christmas. My name is William Devonshire, the head of security in the England Military Intelligence Agency, soldier number S 1967726, Christmas Lee. Do you have time to talk?"
William thought about not mentioning his real name, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. After he took over Group W, his identity was already public in the eyes of some people. This was because the Devonshire family had been in charge of Group W for more than 140 years. Those who had the ability to know probably knew. As long as William hid what he was doing well, no one would know what he was up to.
"Damn, how do you know me? And you're William Devonshire? The heir of the Earl of Devonshire, a billionaire. Are you kidding, buddy? This is not funny at all. Please find a reliable identity when you want to cheat people. "After saying that, Christmas hung up.
William smiled and called back.
"Bastard, I told you not to bother me. If you bother me again, I'll go and beat you up."
"Christmas Lee, originally named Jess Statham, was born on July 26, 1967 at St. Mary's Hospital in London, England. Learned Wing Chun, Karate, and Taekwondo before joining the English Army in 1987. Three years later, he joined the English Special Air Service Regiment, SAS, and participated in 31 battles before retiring in 1997 due to injuries. Half a year later, he joined Barney Ross' death squad. His parents work in London, and he has an older sister who is married to Manchester. They have three children and are good at using flying knives. I have your parents' names written on this information, where do they work, where do they live? "
"Okay, Sir. Soldier S 1967726 reporting to you. What orders do you have?" Christmas was frightened by William. He used to be a member of SAS. His information was confidential and not just anyone could find out his information. Moreover, he was a mercenary. If his enemies knew about his family's information, he would not be able to live.
Christmas thought, could it be that the England Military Intelligence Agency is looking for me? There are many experts in the army. Why would they look for a retired old man like me?
