"Okay, we're allies. In fact, even if you didn't say anything, I've already sent people to look for them. For the time being, I can confirm that Benjamin Arthur and Michael Banning are still alive, but …"
After saying that, William pretended to hesitate and covered his forehead with his hand. This made the group of people who had just heard the good news nervous.
Even the always calm Troum Bull felt that his heart couldn't take it. For him, if Benjamin died, he would immediately become the new head, but on the other hand, he was not prepared to take over in such a special and difficult time.
The voice in his heart that did not want anything to happen to Benjamin became louder. "Say it, Mr. Devonshire. I'm already 71 years old, and my endurance is not bad. God will bless Benjamin. As long as he's still alive, we can find a way to solve the rest."
"Don't get me wrong. Benjamin is fine and not seriously injured. My people went to check the crashed Marine One and found no clues that Benjamin and Banning were killed or injured.
However, the head of the Special Task Force, Ms. Lynn Jacobs, has been confirmed killed. The reason was that she was hit by the debris of the helicopter when Marine One crashed and died of blood loss. Sorry. "
As soon as William finished speaking, there were cries for God and curses in the video. Some people even blamed William's non-existent subordinates who went to investigate too late. Otherwise, Lynn Jacobs might have survived.
William just shrugged with a serious look on his face. He did have the chance and possibility to save Lynn Jacobs. Colleen Jacobs was not his mother, so it had nothing to do with him whether she died or not.
He did not even care about Benjamin Arthur's life or death. His priority was to save the upper class of England and the head of France, Kellner Bacon, who was beneficial to him.
If the heads of Italy and Germany had not been lucky, one appeared in the cathedral and the other appeared beside Philip and was saved by William, there might be two more countries mourning tomorrow.
Did William, the leader of Maple Leaf Country and Japan, show any concern? In the end, they could only watch as Barkavi killed the two of them.
Therefore, it was not wrong for the Americans to scold William. However, seeing that the Americans had suffered such a great loss, William was gloating in his heart. He pretended not to hear the scolding that did not involve his family.
Moreover, for some reason, William felt pretty good when he saw how flustered and exasperated these people were.
"Quiet," Trum Bull shouted sternly. When everyone calmed down, they looked at William, who had a sorrowful expression and didn't even retort after being scolded. Everyone couldn't help but blush.
After all, apart from William, they did not even get any information from the English officials about Benjamin and his companions.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Devonshire. I apologize to you on behalf of my colleagues. Please understand how they feel about losing their colleagues and friends."
Since he had a favor to ask, Troum Bull had no choice but to be nice to him. Otherwise, look at old man Troum's attitude towards Amir Barkavi at the end of the movie.
Knowing that there must be innocent people around Barkavi, old man Troum still didn't care about the lives of innocent people and ordered to blow up Barkavi with a lead egg.
Therefore, William did not take Troum's apology seriously and continued to pretend to be sorrowful. However, what he said made the people in the video very embarrassed.
"It's okay, I understand your people's gaffe, but we English gentlemen won't do such a gaffe.
Forget it, let it go. I'm just curious, why did you ask me for help instead of the English officials? "
This made it difficult for them to answer. After Troum and the others heard about Benjamin's accident and found out some information, they all agreed that the English were unreliable. However, how could they tell William this?
After waiting for a few seconds and no one answered, William, who knew what was going on, narrowed his eyes and bluntly said, "Or you didn't ask the English officials for help at all?"
These words made the faces of everyone in the conference room turn sour.
Seeing this, William chuckled, "Hehe, if that's the case, I can only say that you're too arrogant. Also, don't forget that I'm also English."
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going offline. I'll let you know if there's the latest news. Goodbye."
"Wait, William," Troum Bull hurriedly called out to William, "Maybe we can use a piece of information in exchange for your help in finding Benjamin."
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Bull's words stunned William. He could roughly guess that the information he was talking about was about the bomb in his building.
However, William didn't want to hear this information at all. He even hoped that the Americans would really do it.
They didn't need to really blow up the building. As long as the bomb exploded in the building, he would have a reason to apply to the London officials to demolish the building.
If he threw away his pride and cried miserably in front of the media, he might even get some extra preferential policies.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Devonshire, we'll talk later," Ray Menlo didn't care about the relationship between his superiors and directly interrupted Troum Bull and William.
William heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. However, his expression showed that he was puzzled and curious, "No, you must …"
Before he could finish asking, the video call was cut off. After thinking about it, William immediately asked Sunday, "Have the American special services finished installing the bomb?"
"Three of them have already installed it. The remaining one is estimated to be done in fifteen minutes."
"Hehe, looks like these people only care about efficiency and don't care about confidentiality in order to save Benjamin as soon as possible. No, that's not right." In the blink of an eye, there was definitely no one in the shopping mall or even on the streets.
In addition, there was a blackout in London and the cameras couldn't work. These American special services didn't have to be secretive at all. Moreover, the American foreign affairs office was less than two minutes away from his four buildings. It would be strange if they weren't efficient.
After understanding this, William asked again, "How powerful is it?"
"Based on the size of the bomb observed by the robot, it shouldn't be a problem to completely destroy an ordinary wall. However, there's a building where the bomb is installed on the load-bearing wall. If it really explodes, the probability of the building collapsing is about 47%."
"Then send some spider robots to help that bomb, so I don't have to spend money to find someone to demolish the building," William narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly, "Find out who has the detonator?"
"Yes, sir. A batch of spider robots with more explosive power has been sent out by the dispenser. They are estimated to arrive in three minutes. The person with the detonator is sitting in a car more than a hundred meters away from Devonshire Square."
"After the bomb is ready, kill him. Let the spider robots press the detonator and then detonate the fuel tank in the car to destroy the evidence. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"No, sir, the mission is very easy."
William was racing against time to detonate the bomb himself, so that Ray Monroe's plan wouldn't be stopped by that old man Thrum Bull.
On the other side, more than ten minutes had passed unknowingly. Ray Monroe, who was still persuading Thrum Bull, suddenly saw his subordinates running towards them.
"Sir, our foreign affairs office in London is suspected to have been attacked by a bomb."
