Coming down from the boxing ring and passing by William, Laura suddenly swung her fist towards William's face.
From Laura's obedient nod, William knew that this chick was up to no good, so he slapped the boxing glove that was swinging towards his face.
With a muffled bang, a huge force not only slapped her fist away, but her body also involuntarily staggered back a few steps, hitting her butt on the steps of the boxing ring.
"It hurts," Laura said as she rubbed her aching arm and the rounded area behind her back. She looked at William in disbelief and immediately became well-behaved, softly calling him a monster.
"Listen, I'll only wait for you for five minutes. After that time, our agreement will be void. I don't have time for a rookie like you who has neither money nor strength to waste."
"Bastard," Although she cursed, Laura didn't waste any more time. She immediately rushed to the changing room, hurriedly changed her clothes in five minutes, and came to William's motorcycle.
Throwing a helmet to Laura, William drove the motorcycle and took her directly to the Ace Agent Academy more than 20 kilometers away.
Arriving at the academy, Harry, who had received Sunday's notice, was waiting outside the gate. He smiled at William, who took off his helmet, and said, "I didn't expect you to come so early. Are you in a hurry today?"
"That's not it. I woke up early today, and the earlier I sent her here, the earlier I could train her." He pointed to Laura and said, "This is Laura Crawford, the daughter of Earl Crawford. She's my employer."
"Haha, it seems that Miss Laura is very, very special. Otherwise, how could I have hired you," Harry revealed an ambiguous smile at William, then smiled and extended his hand to Laura. "Good morning, Miss Crawford, I'm Harry Hart, nice to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. Hart, I'm Laura Crawford, nice to meet you too," Laura greeted back.
"Let's go, I'll show you around the academy," Harry took William and Laura to see all the places in the academy that could be opened to Laura.
Then he handed Laura over to Merlin, the director of the academy, and told Merlin that Laura's training must be carried out in accordance with the training methods of an ace agent.
After dealing with the matter of Laura entering the college, the two left the somewhat nervous and hesitant Laura and went to Harry's office.
"The famous Miss Crawford." Harry handed William a glass of whiskey. "Are you serious?"
"No, how could that be? Anyway, I don't have any plans to get married or have a girlfriend." He took a sip of whiskey. "On one hand, this chick is willing to spend 100 million dollars to hire me to find her father. On the other hand, I feel that Laura has great potential, so I'm investing in her in advance."
"However, if she doesn't mind the fact that I have two women, I don't mind trying it out with her."
"You're such a bastard, William." Harry shook his head in disdain. "It seems like I'll have to postpone the birth of the next generation of the Devonshire family."
"Knock, knock, knock." There were a few knocks on the door. Harry looked at the office door in surprise and exchanged glances with William. He only walked to the door after seeing William put down his wine glass.
To their surprise, it was Wilson outside the door.
"Good morning, Your Highness." Harry hurriedly greeted Wilson.
"Good morning, Mr. Harry. I'm sorry to come to the college without informing you," Wilson apologized.
"It's okay, Your Highness. What can I do for you?"
"If it's possible," Wilson pointed at William in the office and said, "I hope to talk to William alone."
Harry turned to look at William. Seeing that William didn't have any reaction, he nodded and smiled. "No problem, Your Highness. You can do as you please. I'll go check on the situation of the students in the college."
"Thank you, Harry."
Harry and William nodded and walked out of the office, closing the door behind them.
After Harry left, William rolled his eyes at Wilson who was sitting beside him and drank his whiskey. After more than 20 minutes of silence, they saw that Wilson was hesitant to say something but didn't know how to say it.
William glared at him helplessly. "If you have something to say, just say it."
Wilson stammered and finally spread his hands helplessly. "Alright, grandfather heard that you brought Miss Crawford to the Secret Service Academy, so he asked me to come over and ask if you still want to take over Kingsman? We can, we can … "
Without waiting for Wilson to finish speaking, William slapped him on the shoulder. "I'm a Grand Duke now. Only an idiot would take over the secret service organization that was supposed to protect me and serve the nobles." Wilson nodded.
"Damn it." Wilson rubbed his painful shoulder. "God, can't you hear me out? And are you a monster? My shoulder was almost dislocated because of your slap. "
"Sorry, buddy, I didn't mean to."
However, the smile on William's face betrayed him. He had deliberately slapped Wilson just now, so he knew that Wilson would only be in pain for a few minutes at most.
Sure enough, after waiting for a minute or two, the pain slowly disappeared. Wilson looked helplessly at the smiling William. "Grandfather knows that you don't like to protect others, and you hate being controlled even more. So he asked me to tell you that as long as you take over Kingsman, other than the fact that you can't change the name and protect the royal family, you have the final say in the entire Kingsman."
William shook his head. "I said last time that I'm not interested in helping you guys make money for free. If I have a money-making idea, I won't keep it for myself. I won't give it to you guys even if I took the wrong medicine."
Wilson knew that this was the key issue.
Last time, he was rejected because of money. After thinking about it seriously, Philip soon regretted wanting to use William's money-making ability to revitalize Kingsman's assets.
Just as William said, no one was a fool. Everyone would keep their money-making ideas to themselves, so this time, Philip did not want to take advantage of William in terms of money at all.
"Don't worry, we're not thinking of taking advantage of you now. We plan to set up a trust fund for Kingsman's assets. As long as you can guarantee that these assets will grow by 5% every year, the rest will be used by Kingsman."
"Hehe," William narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I didn't earn the funds, and you still have the nerve to say that you're not taking advantage of me."
"Buddy, the condition of growing by 5% every year is not a condition for you, right?"
This was true. As long as the assets were not sold and left untouched, the annual growth would be more than 5% every year, so William nodded directly.
"Then we'll use an independent operation, investigation, and even refereeing rights in exchange for you spending one or two hundred million pounds every year to support Kingsman. This condition is not too much, is it?"
"No," William said as he was a man of few words. If he really wanted the independent refereeing rights, William would definitely not care about one or two hundred million pounds every year.
"Alright then, I'll give all of Kingsman to you now. What's there to hesitate about?"
William thought for a while and asked, "How much of the assets Kingsman has left?"
"About 1.7 billion pounds, 20% of it is equipment, and the other 80% are fixed assets," Wilson immediately replied.
