When the little figure passed by the corner where William was, William hugged her with his right hand and covered her mouth with his left hand to prevent her from screaming.
Perhaps because she saw that it was William who was hugging her, the little girl quickly calmed down after struggling for a few seconds out of fear.
William retreated to a secluded place with the little girl in his arms and waited for the gangsters to disappear before looking down at the little girl in his arms.
"Shh."
The little girl nodded in understanding.
William said again, "I'll let go of you now, but don't scream, understand?"
She nodded again.
Looking at the little girl whose face was covered by his left hand but who was staring at him with her big eyes, William couldn't help but be captivated by the little girl's clear and fearful eyes.
Seeing that the little girl really didn't move, he said, "Okay, you're a good child. I'll let you go now and then follow me, understand?"
She nodded and then shook her head. When William released his hand from her mouth and wanted to put her down, the little girl immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and hung on him like a koala bear.
"My name is Emily Kyle, Mr. Devonshire. Thank you for saving me. I can, with, with you."
"Stop, stop, stop. Listen, child, if you want to chat or take a picture, you have to wait until we get out. Then you can chat like this and take as many pictures as you want.
Now tell me where your parents are. And can you come down? In England, ladies don't hang on me like you do. "
"I'm only six years old, it doesn't matter. You don't know that I ran a long way to avoid those bad guys, and now I can't walk anymore."
Seeing that the little girl refused to come down, William could only carry her and walk upstairs to an empty room. "What about your parents?"
Perhaps because she was being carried by an adult, or because she was naturally very independent, little Emily calmed down in a few minutes.
However, when she heard William ask about her parents again, the little girl's hands tightened around William's neck and her head rested on William's shoulder.
"Mom said that Dad is in the military and doesn't have time to come back. Mom has to work and doesn't have time to accompany me here, so she asked Auntie to bring me here."
"Mr. Devonshire, I can't even remember what my father looked like. The last time I saw him was when I was four years old. Will you protect me?" Emily asked in a dejected tone.
"This …" She looked at the little brat who had an adorable face but a pair of clever eyes. Recalling that she was also brought up by her mother, she couldn't help but feel pity for the little fellow in her arms.
"That's right, I'll definitely protect you, child. I'm the Duke of England, and a noble's responsibility is to protect a cute, smart, and beautiful little princess like you."
"Thank you. Then you are my knight, right?"
"That's right." William had just answered when he was kissed on the cheek by Emily. This made William feel even more pity for this clever brat whom he had only met for less than five minutes.
"You're so smart."
"Bang, bang, bang." A series of gunshots rang out. With just a little thought, he knew that it was the sound of a sniper rifle. He hugged the scared Emily tightly. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. You'll be fine. I promise to protect you."
"Okay." Emily nodded and lay on William's shoulder again without making a sound.
He found an empty room and locked the door. Looking out of the window, he saw more than ten security guards in black suits or uniforms lying on the ground.
Then, another series of gunshots rang out from the roof of the White Palace.
"Sunday, tell me what's going on."
"What?" Emily looked up at William in confusion. "Mr. Devonshire, who are you talking to?"
"Hehe, I'm talking to my AI butler. He'll tell me what's going on."
"Then can I hear it? I want to know if Aunt Fanny is safe now. "Emily asked in a small voice.
"Okay." William thought for a while and put his hand into his coat pocket. He took out a mini earphone from the storage space and carefully placed it in Emily's ear. "Okay, you can say hello to Sunday now."
"Hello," Emily said uncertainly. "Where are you, Mr. Sunday?"
"Hello, Miss Emily. I'm Sunday, Mr. Devonshire's personal AI butler. What can I do for you?"
"God, I can really hear you." Emily exclaimed in surprise. "Where are you? Why can't I see you? Is it the same as calling? "
"You're right. Ms. Fanny is now in the lounge on the east side of the White Palace. She's not in danger for now."
"Okay, little guy, let me understand the situation here first. I have to take you out."
"Okay." Emily nodded. "We'll talk later, okay, Mr. Sunday?"
"Yes, Miss Emily," said Lin Feng.
William rubbed Emily's hair and said to Sunday, "Will there be any hidden dangers in hacking into the White Palace's server?"
“NO，SIR”。
"Okay, then tell me the safe route to avoid the snipers on the roof."
If it weren't for Emily, William would have run out long ago. He wouldn't have to hide from the snipers on the roof like now.
"Understood, sir." Sunday reported a few minutes later. "Sir, I've hacked into the White Palace's internal server.
However, a hacker is cracking the server. From what I know, the other party is planning to crack the entire White Palace's server. The estimated time is 40 minutes. "
"Where's Benjamin Arthur?" William took out his phone from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Turn on the 3D virtual imaging. I want to know all the routes and the location of the criminals."
As soon as he said that, the phone shot out a three-dimensional light beam. The three-dimensional structure of the entire White Palace was displayed, and there were no less than a hundred red dots that marked the enemies.
"Cool." William was thinking about what to do when Emily, who was in his arms, couldn't take her eyes off the 3D virtual imaging. "What's this? What's this?"
"Sunday, explain it to the little guy."
William rolled his eyes. The little guy was very cute, but he had never taken care of a child before, and her exuberant curiosity gave him a headache.
Fortunately, Sunday, an impatient artificial intelligence, was there. She could answer Emily's questions while reporting the situation in the palace to William.
After listening to the report, William lowered his head and thought for a moment. "So, not only are there more than a hundred criminals outside, but they're also trying to control all the American weapons through the server here?"
"Yes, sir. Based on my calculations, if no one stops them, once the system is controlled, the White Palace will be able to take over the White Palace.
If the Americans outside can't take back the White Palace, we'll either have to face a world war, or the Americans will completely destroy the entire White Palace. "
"Alright, for the sake of my money and wealth, it seems like I'll have to help these Americans deal with the mess." William grinned and mocked. "Hopefully, Benjamin Arthur won't be kicked out of office because the White Palace was taken down twice in a row."
