After putting on his suit, he released his mental strength and his whole body was swept by an invisible force. The dust on his suit and shoes were all swept away, making them look even straighter.
After doing all this, Sunday's sound came from the spaceship within a few seconds.
William grabbed the big brimmed hat that was still floating in front of him and looked at the emblem of the Devonshire family on the hat. He lowered his head slightly and put on the hat. He walked slowly to the side of the spaceship's cabin and waited for the spaceship to stop.
On such an occasion, Serena and Nissa came out of the cockpit and consciously stood behind William. They had no intention of following him directly.
The two of them knew very well that even if Lena was here, it was impossible for her to walk out of the spaceship with William directly.
"Beep, beep, beep."
A few sounds came out and the cabin door opened automatically. William turned back and nodded at Serena and Nissa with a smile. He took the lead and walked out of the spaceship.
From the moment the spaceship appeared in everyone's sight, the whole of England was eagerly watching the television, waiting for the moment when William appeared.
Those who were qualified to enter the London Space Center were even more excited after experiencing it personally. Their eyes were fixed on the open cabin door.
When they saw William wearing a red suit with a big brimmed hat on his head, the people watching the ceremony were stunned at first. Then, most of the people who were related to the aristocracy stood up excitedly and applauded him.
They applauded William with all their might. Many of them were so excited that they raised their hands into the shape of trumpets and shouted towards the tarmac, "Long live Devonshire!"
On the other hand, some people felt that it was inappropriate for William to not wear a spacesuit on such an occasion. However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, no one objected.
Not to mention that there were so many people watching. If they caused trouble at this time, they would definitely be hated by everyone.
Besides, William's identity was a duke. If he wore a noble's suit, others could only casually criticize him on the issue of the occasion.
Since it would not have any effect, it was better to keep quiet. At most, their attitude would be a little perfunctory when they clapped.
More importantly, there were dozens of cameras and hundreds of reporters in the reporter area. If anyone was caught causing trouble, they would become famous all over the world tomorrow.
As the door of the spaceship opened, dozens of cameras were focused on William who was walking down step by step.
William, who had lost a lot of weight, was wearing a close-fitting suit that revealed his broad shoulders and inverted triangular waistline.
Coupled with the large brimmed hat and the dazzling golden deer head emblem, everyone felt that at this moment, William was so handsome and majestic that words couldn't describe it.
Just this outfit alone had captured the hearts of countless women, and this kind of close-fitting dress quickly spread all over the world.
"William."
Without waiting for William to approach, Lena, whose eyes were already filled with tears, couldn't help but raise her hand and wave, excitedly calling out her son's name.
Walking a few steps quickly, William stood a meter away from Lena, stood up straight, and saluted to Lena.
Then, he took off his hat and took the initiative to hug Lena, "Sorry, mom, I made you worry."
Lena hugged William tightly for a long time before letting go. She grabbed William's arm with both hands and carefully looked at her son, who had lost a lot of weight.
The tears in her eyes couldn't help but flow down. She hugged William again and said with a choked voice, "It's okay, child, it's okay, as long as you come back safely."
When he patted Lena's back to comfort her, he found that Abigail was standing behind Lena.
At this moment, this girl's eyes were also full of tears. Seeing William looking at her, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand wearing a silk glove.
She was afraid that the sound of her crying would spread to the surrounding crowd, and she was even more afraid that William would see her crying.
But Abigail didn't know that at this moment, the affection in her eyes that couldn't be dissolved directly stunned William for a few seconds.
Then, he couldn't help but look at her with a trace of tenderness in his eyes. The corner of his mouth crooked, and he gave her a big smile.
"Annoying." Abby, who was electrified by William's smile, rolled her eyes at him and lowered her head, not daring to look again, for fear that she would not be able to resist pouncing on William.
And William's expression was inevitably seen clearly by the people in the back row.
At the same time that they were envious and jealous of Abigail, many people also laughed out of goodwill.
Hearing the laughter, Lena, who was hugging William, still knew what was going on. It must be her son and Abby behind her.
In a fit of anger, she let go of William, grabbed his face with both hands, and forcefully twisted it a few times before letting go of her anger a little.
Then, she helped him tidy up his suit, took the hat, and personally put it on William.
In the end, when she saw the Devonshire family emblem on the hat, Lena's eyes couldn't help but shed tears again.
Fortunately, she also knew that there was no time for her to say too much at this moment. She patted William's shoulder, and used her eyes to signal that he didn't need to care about her.
After kissing Lena's cheek, William took a step forward and saw Wilson, who was wearing the noble first lieutenant military uniform.
He couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Shouldn't you salute me, Mr. First Lieutenant?"
He didn't expect Wilson to salute him directly without hesitation.
William had no choice but to salute back seriously. He took the initiative to shake hands with Wilson, and said that he would deal with him later, and ignored him.
Instead, he shook hands with England's first captain, Richard.
Without waiting for Richard to speak, William looked at Lena, who was behind him, and spoke first to thank Richard.
"Haha, you're welcome, William. Mrs. Lena is your mother. Let her be the first to pick you up, no one will say anything."
William smiled and nodded. It was indeed nothing to let Lena be the first to pick him up, but if that was really the case, it would depend on what Richard thought.
If he was unwilling, Wilson might not be able to come, let alone stand in front of him.
"In order to express my gratitude, maybe we can talk about the gold in the spaceship first."
"That would be the best."
Hearing these words of hope, Richard couldn't help but be overjoyed. Finally, he didn't put down his pride to curry favor with William in vain.
"If possible, William, can you deduct the gold into pounds to pay the tax? You know, although gold is precious, it's only a precious metal after all. We're worried about …"
"Okay, Richard."
Seeing that everyone around was listening attentively, William interrupted Richard and said, "Just as you said, 40% of 50 tons of gold is 20 tons. With the current gold price, it's almost 400 million US dollars.
I'll ask the Bank of England to transfer 400 million US dollars directly to the tax account. Just remember to ask someone to send me the proof. "
"Thank you, thank you."
Richard didn't care about the exclamations around him. He took William's hand and thanked him repeatedly.
He knew very well that after today, the 20 tons of gold would definitely not be worth 400 million US dollars in a short time. This was also the reason why he didn't want the gold.
Instead of watching the gold price fluctuate because of the Martian gold being shipped back, it was better to cash out directly from William.
He didn't have to worry about the gold price falling, and he could also save a transaction fee.
But for William, this was also what he wanted to see.
