Valentine knew that he had fallen into a trap set up by his opponent, and this person was most likely William. However, he could not figure out how William was able to control the main server of his base, the group server, and the eight satellites.
Before he activated them, the servers in the base were not connected to the external network. Valentine could not help but panic when he thought of this, because he thought of a possibility, and that was that there was a mole around him, and this mole's position must be very high.
However, Valentine still could not figure out who it was. Without the control of the base and the control of the chip behind his ear, Valentine suddenly realized that he could not do anything without the control chip.
Now, even if he wanted to kill those who used the Valentine Group's phone card, it was impossible. The only thing that made Valentine and the people in the base relieved was that the power and water supply systems in the base were still working normally. Coupled with the stored food, survival was not a problem for the time being.
Time passed day by day, and Valentine spent every day in torment and regret. After watching England declare the Valentine Group as an illegal organization on TV, his business empire began to collapse.
These days, the countries that got the video one after another also declared his group a terrorist organization after experimenting with it, and banned all business activities.
The market value of the group went from a peak of 130 billion US dollars to bankruptcy in just two weeks. He, Richmond Valentine, also went from being a super business and technology genius that was the focus of the world to a deserter that everyone wanted to kill, or an overconfident person who tried to challenge the entire communications group and was killed.
This indescribable struggle, entanglement, and pain had been plaguing him. When the Valentine Group officially filed for bankruptcy, the group's communications and network service equipment were all shut down.
Richmond Valentine knew that he had completely lost. He lost without any ability to fight back, and he did not even know why or how he lost.
This result made Valentine, who was already paranoid and crazy, completely crazy. He planned to destroy the base with his own hands to prevent William, who wanted to take over the base intact, from getting what he wanted.
However, just as he was about to carry out his plan, Sunday, who had been monitoring the base, began to spray anesthetic gas from the base's ventilation pipes, which once again destroyed his wish.
If Valentine had perished together with the base from the very beginning, William would have had no choice but to go to the base to clean up the people inside. After all, it would take more than a few days to prepare enough anesthetic gas to knock out everyone in the base.
For the past few days, William had been ignoring the people in the base in order to avoid a situation where both sides would perish together in desperation.
More than ten days had passed. William, who had made all the necessary preparations, had wanted to keep the base locked up for a few more months, or even a year, to let the people in the base go crazy and kill each other. Now, he had no choice but to take action. A complete base was very valuable in William's eyes.
"Sir, everyone in the Yellowstone Park Base has fainted. You can receive it now."
William, who had returned to the manor in London, was having dinner with his mother. Sunday's voice was heard. "Hmm, dealing with these people is really troublesome."
After thinking about it, William said, "Valentine, except for Paula and the other leaders, you can do as you see fit with the rest. The only requirement is that the secret of the base is not leaked, and you can't kill them directly. Sigh, I don't think I can kill people who can't move."
"Don't worry, sir. You asked me to investigate Kingsman before, and they have a memory eraser that should be useful. However, there might be some sequelae if it's deeply erasing memories."
"Ha, I don't care about the aftereffects. I'm already being merciful by not killing them. After erasing their memories, I'll throw them to the American government and let them have a headache. After all, most of these lunatics are Americans, and they've all been implanted with chips."
"Understood, sir."
After dinner, William went to the basement and opened the portal to return to the castle. Then, he opened a door to the Yellowstone Park Base and sent a batch of cleaning robots and two Mark III armor over. William did not need to worry about the rest.
He went upstairs to watch a football game with his mother in the living room and chatted. William did not announce the details of the crisis to the public, and the crazy attacks on other people did not happen. Therefore, although there were some fluctuations in the stock market, it did not affect people's normal lives. For the English, they still played football, drank beer, and scolded the government and the telecommunications companies.
This was because Richmond Valentine had disappeared from the beginning, and the Valentine Group was now bankrupt. Their fixed assets were waiting to be auctioned off, and the people who enjoyed free phone calls and free Internet access were very unhappy.
Now that everything had returned to the past, the Internet and telecommunications fees had not been reduced, and they were much higher than before. Conspiracy theories inevitably began to circulate.
Many people believed that Valentine was secretly killed by the American and British government and the telecommunications companies. They even suspected that William was one of them.
After all, William was the biggest winner of this incident. After three days of short selling, the Valentine Group's stock price fell by 42%, and William made a profit of 10.4 billion US dollars. In addition to the 900 million US dollars he made in the first buy, he made a total of 11.5 billion US dollars. Even if he had to pay 20% capital gains tax, the net profit was still 9.2 billion US dollars.
It would be strange if the conspiracy theorists did not suspect that he had made so much money in just ten days. Therefore, after returning to London, he did not go anywhere. He stayed in the manor and dealt with the aftermath remotely.
If there were people who hated, there would definitely be people who loved. The telecommunications companies and internet service companies all over the world now regarded William as God. Not only did he save their lives, but he also helped them to make money in the futures market.
The market was turbulent, and the stock price of the telecommunications companies generally plummeted. However, when William wanted to take the opportunity to invest in the telecommunications companies of some major countries, the capitalists once again made him realize that there was no emotion or reason with capital. The only thing they cared about was profits.
As soon as William made a move in the stock market, these telecommunications companies, which were almost frightened to death, immediately guarded against him. Not only did they not have the slightest gratitude, but they also regarded him, who had more than 10 billion US dollars in cash, as a scourge.
There were even some high-ranking people in some countries who asked people to send their regards to William, and at the same time hinted that they did not want William to invest in the telecommunications companies of their countries.
When Catherine called William on the phone, she reminded him very subtly that in this chaotic period, the major countries in Europe and the United States would list him as a target of surveillance. If he caused the stock market to be turbulent again, he would even be listed as a person who did not like drinking.
If the country was involved, then so be it. William understood that the telecommunications companies were monitored by various countries. As an Englishman, it was impossible for him to have absolute control of the company.
After accompanying Lena to watch the game, William received a report from Sunday at 10 pm. He had already dealt with Richmond Valentine, Paula, and the other leaders. It would probably take a few days to completely clean up the base.
