After that, Barney and the others turned around and left the tailor shop. William then instructed Sunday, "Tell Carlos of the Cross in Colombia that it would be best if Amir Barkavi could disappear without a trace.
If it doesn't work, kill Barkavi and everyone around him and take away his body. I hope he can help me create the illusion that Amir Barkavi is still alive. "
"Understood, sir. The order has been issued."
This was to guard against America. Amir Barkavi, their biggest enemy, was still unknown, so America's attention would definitely be on Barkavi.
This way, the possibility of William reneging on the agreement was not high. If America reneged, William might use Barkavi's name to take revenge.
After dealing with this, he opened the door of the fitting room and walked in. He nodded to Harry, "Let's go, Harry."
Harry nodded. Under Benjamin's puzzled gaze, he placed his palm on the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the fitting room. A red light appeared on the plain floor-to-ceiling mirror and circled around Harry's palm. There was a click in the fitting room.
The entire fitting room began to descend as Benjamin screamed in surprise.
Looking at the mottled elevator wall, Benjamin curiously asked Harry, who looked more like a university professor, in a black suit, "How long has this place existed?"
"Since 1849, when Kingsman served the most powerful people in the world, this tailor shop has been in use," Harry explained with a smile.
"150 years. That means it was almost a hundred years earlier than our C1A and FB1." Before Benjamin could exclaim for too long, the fitting room stopped. What greeted everyone's eyes was a subway-like carriage.
Harry gestured for everyone to follow. He led the way into the carriage and sat down. He pressed a switch on the seat and the carriage began to move forward.
Then, he whispered to William, who was sitting next to him, "His Majesty Philip came to me a few days ago and asked if I had any thoughts on letting you take over as the new leader of Kingsman."
"Hmm?" William looked at Harry in surprise. "Why would Philip ask you this question? Isn't the leader of the Kingsman appointed by him? Since when did he ask you, the King's Knights? "
Hearing this, Harry hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Do you know that you're the Earl of Oxford now?"
"Well, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that Catherine, the Minister of Security, and Richard, the Minister of Defense, addressed me as the Earl of Devonshire." Staring into Harry's eyes, he said, "So …"
"That's right." Harry nodded calmly. "That's what you're thinking."
"Philip really spared no effort to pull me into his camp," William shook his head helplessly. He didn't feel sad about Oxford's death at all. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.
It would be better for Kingsman to do the Earl of Oxford than for his mother to do it.
"Why would he look for you? Isn't the duty of the Kingsman to protect the nobles and the upper class of England?"
"Not all nobles are qualified to be protected by us. The nobles who inherited the throne after the war 60 years ago don't even know of our existence. And don't forget, according to tradition, your grandfather Henry has a Group W list and Philip has a copy. Isn't it normal for him to look for me, a former member of Group W, to fulfill Henry's last wish?"
After a moment of silence, Harry reminded him in a low voice, "You didn't hand over the list, did you?"
"Ha, do I look like someone who's loyal to the royal family?" William curled his lips and laughed.
"That's why His Majesty Philip spared no effort to rope you in, William." Harry patted William's shoulder and said, "And the return he got for everything he did was much greater than he expected, haha."
"Haha, that's true."
Saving Philip's life directly was indeed a great return.
The old fox was indeed an old fox. He knew that to deal with a suspicious and capable person like William, using feelings was the safest and most reliable method.
And the return he received was far beyond his expectations.
If it wasn't for the fact that Philip treated William well, William wouldn't have stood in front of him even if he was wearing a bulletproof suit. At most, he would have pulled the old man aside.
"So, you'll inherit the title of Earl of Oxford?" This time, it was Harry's turn to stare into William's eyes.
William understood what Harry meant. As a loyal supporter of the aristocratic system, he didn't want to hear that everything he did was in vain.
If it was before, William might have hesitated for a moment before agreeing. But now, he said, "Of course, why not? This title originally belonged to my bloodline. It's just returning it to its rightful owner."
"That's good." Harry nodded happily. "It's a pity that Henry won't live to see this day. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. If you're free, let's go for a drink and take a look at a little guy for me."
"No problem. After this is over, I'll still have time for a drink," William agreed with a smile.
While chatting, the train finally arrived at its destination. It was the Kingsman Secret Service Academy, which was more than 20 kilometers away from London.
When the train stopped, Harry stood up and said to Benjamin and Banning, "Gentlemen, please follow me. The plane is ready."
Harry didn't bring Benjamin and Banning to see the huge underground building and facilities of the Secret Service Academy. Instead, he took the elevator directly to the castle above ground.
They walked out of the castle and drove a few minutes to the private airport of the academy. After getting off the car, he pointed to the man in the captain's uniform and said, "Mr. Merlin will take you and Mr. Banning wherever you want to go. Congratulations, Mr. Barrel, you're safe."
"Thank you, thank you." After leaving London, Benjamin's tensed heart finally relaxed completely. He shook hands with Harriet gratefully, then walked up to William and wrapped his arms around him.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Devonshire. From this moment on, the Devonshire family will be the loyal friends of the Arthur family."
"Me too, Mr. Barrel. It's my honor to be able to help you," William patted Benjamin's back. He wondered if Benjamin would still be so grateful to him when he returned to America and understood everything.
Benjamin smiled and patted William's shoulder. After letting go, he said, "Thank King Philip for me. When I return to America, I'll call him personally and thank him for everything he's done for me. At the same time, I'll officially invite him to this year's White Palace New Year's Party."
"Okay, Mr. Barrel. I'll pass on your invitation to His Majesty Philip," William nodded and agreed.
On the side, Banning smiled and said to William, "My acting isn't bad, right?"
"Haha, it's not bad," William agreed with a smile. "The only pity is that Mr. Broom-Bull, Deputy Barrel, didn't oppose me in the command center just now.
However, forget it. The situation is so urgent. Even if there's a traitor in the command center, he probably won't think that everything we did was just an act. It's even better if he guesses it. As long as he dares to send a message to the outside, we can take the opportunity to find the other traitors inside. "
