Arthur Cain was the leader of the Ace Agents. William had watched "Ace Agent," and knew that this seemingly amiable old man was a ruthless character. He was still wary of him coming to find him.
Arthur Cain smiled and said, "William, I don't know if you know about us, but I saw in your eyes that my guess was right, right?"
Arthur Cain paused and looked into William's eyes seriously.
William really couldn't compare to these veterans who had worked their whole lives, but he couldn't think of any reason to brush off Arthur Cain. He couldn't say that he had seen him in a movie, so he could only remain silent.
"I think Henry might have told you something. He might even have left you my information. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made me think that you knew me the first time we met. Am I right, William?" Arthur Cain said with certainty.
Ha, William was happy. This was a good reason. He didn't have to think about it anymore. Arthur Cain had given him the reason himself.
William nodded at Arthur Cain and said, "I know you still have Harry Hart and Merlin Strong."
"Ha, so it's just as M said. Henry Winston Devonshire, that old man, really left you a lot of secret files in England."
Arthur Cain's smiling eyes began to turn cold. He looked at William as if he wanted to eat him.
William quickly said, "No, I only saw the information about the Ace Agent Academy. Henry wanted to arrange for me to study there, so he left some information about the Agent Academy."
Arthur Cain resumed his smiling face and said, "No, William Devonshire, you're lying. Merlin Strong only came to the Agent Academy eight years ago. Henry had already passed away. You're lying, William."
Damn, this was all because of the movie. Thinking about it, the movie came out more than ten years later. How would he know when Merlin Strong joined the Agent Academy?
Since he couldn't explain it clearly, William could only shut his mouth. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make. He wasn't a match for these old fellows.
However, William noticed that the way Harry Hart looked at him was a little different. Gratification, appreciation, and care. What the hell? Why would I think of the word care?
William was a little surprised by Harry Hart's reaction, but when he looked at Harry Hart again, Harry Hart's expression returned to normal.
William's brain, which had been modified by the system, began to spin rapidly. Could it be that this Harry Hart used to be a member of W under his grandfather, Henry Winston Devonshire? William was shocked by his own thought.
Then he remembered his grandfather's letter telling William not to trust anyone. Henry should have expected the former members of Team W to come to William, but more than a decade had passed, and no one could guarantee what the former members of Team W had become. Only God knew why they were looking for him.
Although this was a movie world, it was also a real world. William didn't dare to casually trust anyone. Even if they didn't have any bad intentions towards William now, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't have any bad intentions in the future.
"Forget it, we already guessed that Henry would leave something behind, but we weren't sure. It's good that we can confirm it now. You're such a smart person, William, but you've been unknown for almost ten years. It must have been Henry who taught you. He really put in a lot of effort for you. I don't know what Henry taught you, but I hope you can come to our Agent Academy to study again. It will be good for you."
What good would it be? They just wanted to get him into the Agent Academy so they could observe him closely. Plus, he didn't want to go to the Agent Academy to be tortured. He had the knowledge of agents in his head, and he could learn whatever he wanted to learn. He didn't need to be taught.
William quickly refused, "No, Arthur, I don't have time to go to the Agent Academy, and I'm not interested. What I like most is to make money. If it wasn't for Henry wanting me to inherit his business, I wouldn't want to be a secret agent. I'm not even interested in forming Team W. This is good. It's not like we're in Henry's time, and it's been ten years since 1990."
"Stupid, William Devonshire. If I can guess that Henry would leave you information, others can too. They won't be as easy to talk to as I am. You think you can guarantee your safety just because you have the ability to subdue 007? It's not like ten years ago. A lot of technology and skills have changed. What Henry taught you ten years ago is no longer applicable now."
"Plus, William, you have to think about your mother. Your mother is an ordinary person."
When William heard Arthur Cain threaten his mother, Lena, his whole person changed. Arthur Cain, Harry Hart, and Merlin Strong suddenly felt like they were being stared at by fierce beasts like lions and tigers at close range. All the hair on their bodies stood up.
Looking at William, who was like a shy boy just a moment ago, suddenly turning into a demon that wanted to swallow them whole, Merlin Strong, the instructor who had not been on any mission, was so scared that he took a few steps back. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his body was trembling. He gasped and pointed at William while trembling, "You, you, you …"
Arthur Cain and Harry Hart weren't much better. Although they didn't retreat in fear, they were also sweating like Merlin Strong.
The pressure of releasing the power of the will was too great for ordinary people.
William retracted his power of the will and said to Arthur Cain, "No matter who comes to disturb Lena, I will kill them all. I will do what I say. Arthur Cain, I don't believe that you guys will be so honest as to not touch me and Lena for ten years. Henry must have left something for you guys to worry about. Arthur Cain, tell those who want to trouble me not to mess with me. When I go crazy, even I am scared. I don't care about rules. If anyone touches Lena, I don't mind killing their whole family."
After William retracted his power of the will, Arthur Cain and the other two felt a little better. Arthur Cain sighed with lingering fear, "What did that bastard Henry teach William? There hasn't been anyone who can make me so scared in the past ten years."
Merlin Strong, on the other hand, looked at William in horror. He had felt like he was going to die. Now, he was afraid when he looked into William's eyes. He thought to himself that there was no need to see this monster in the future. He had heard that a few days ago, he had subdued 007 and three elite military agents with his bare hands. He had only used a coin, a key, and a rope.
Harry Hart looked at William in surprise. As far as he knew, Henry was not good at action. His skills were only average. What did Henry leave behind for William that allowed him to be so powerful after ten years of hiding?
Arthur Cain was indeed the leader of the ace agents. He quickly calmed down and said to William, "William, the best thing you can do now is to prove that you are with us. As long as we believe that you are with us, at least we old guys won't do anything to you. The English government won't do anything to you either. This mission is a good opportunity. William, show us that if you want to join a group, you have to pay the price first. You're smart enough to understand this."
Tsk, isn't it just showing your allegiance? It's already said in Water Margin that it's easier to join a group by doing something that everyone can do. Who doesn't know how to do that?
William said to Arthur Cain, "Tsk, it's my business how I do it. But don't worry, we've been together for a long time. Arthur, I'll use some things to prove that I'm not someone who can be bullied by anyone."
Arthur Cain smiled and said, "That's good. William, we'll be waiting for your performance. Don't let us down, William."
William was unhappy when he heard the old man say that he would be waiting for his performance. He thought to himself, You're not a loyal hero. I'll kill you when you betray me.
William also smiled and said, "You'll see, Arthur. Maybe the next time we meet, you'll be surprised."
I'll kill you the next time I see you, William thought to himself. I now have the authority of the Security Committee. I can investigate whoever I want. Don't let me find anything. If I do, it'll be your end.
Arthur Cain suddenly shivered. He felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't know what it was. This made him, who had been an agent for many years, worry that something bad was about to happen.
Arthur Cain shook William's hand and said goodbye. William shook hands with Merlin Strong and Harry Hart. After the three left, William walked to the corner of the bar and sat down. He looked at the note that Harry Hart had given him when they shook hands. It said, "Don't trust anyone."
Damn, this is another brain-draining thing. Of course I won't trust anyone, not even you, Harry Hart. Pigs can climb trees if you believe the words of an agent.
