William, who had long planned the use of this batch of Martian gold, could not wait to keep these fifty tons of gold in his hands.
Twenty tons of gold, made into hundred-gram Martian commemorative gold coins, would be two hundred thousand pieces.
These two hundred thousand gold coins would definitely be worth more than four hundred million US dollars in the future. In a few decades, it might even be worth a few times or more.
After chatting with Richard, William just politely shook hands with the people who followed and thanked them.
Fortunately, there were not many people who were qualified to shake hands with William, who was a Duke. Even so, it was almost noon by the time the welcoming ceremony ended.
Because they still had to go to Buckingham Palace to meet King Philip and attend the luncheon, some of the originally planned meetings had to be greatly reduced or left for the afternoon or evening.
The group walked to the parking lot and William immediately saw a row of more than a dozen bulletproof limousines.
However, these limousines were not called Rolls-Royce Phantoms now, but Ashton Martin Phantoms.
Just as he was wondering if he should be in the same car as Lena, he turned his head and saw Lena whispering to Serena and Nissa.
Seeing William look over, Lena smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, you take Abby, Richard, and Wilson to meet Philip.
I'll take Nissa and Serena home first, they are the real heroes of the Devonshire family. "
After thinking for a few seconds, William agreed with Lena in his heart.
Although very few people in the upper echelons of England knew about Serena and Nissa's identity as Blood Clan, Philip definitely knew.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much William liked Nissa and Serena, he could not take them to Buckingham Palace.
While Philip was feeling uncomfortable, it would be troublesome if an unreasonable special guard of the royal family appeared and shouted out their identities.
Besides, Nissa and Serena might not be willing to wear tight spacesuits and battle armor to attend the banquet.
Looking at Abigail, who was wearing a suit and looking forward to it, William nodded. "Okay, mother, I'll go home after the banquet."
After sending Lena and the other two into the car and watching the two escort cars leave together, William asked Sunday about the security in a low voice.
Sunday's reply came in his ear. "Don't worry, sir, the person driving Madam Lena is Carlos of the Cross, and the car is also equipped with Mark V battle armor.
In the two escort cars in front and back, Antonio's team of four are also equipped with Devonshire Type III battle armor.
Along the way, there were also hundreds of Black Edge UAV Carriers on standby in the air, and 1,200 Black Edge UAV Carriers were constantly patrolling.
Kingsman's men are also on guard along the way, so there won't be any problems with safety. "
Of course, of course, of course, of course, of course, of the time, of course, of course, of course, of the world of God, of the time, of the world of of the Of the King, of the world, of the world Of the world of the world
As soon as the convoy left the space center, William was surprised to see London citizens holding England flags and shouting at the convoy on the way to the city.
When the convoy entered the city, there were even more people watching the ceremony along the way.
William turned around and asked Abigail, who had been hugging her arm, "Did these people spontaneously come out to welcome me?
It makes me feel like a foreign head of state is visiting. "
"There aren't many people here," Abigail said with a smile. "When we enter the city center, you'll know that half of the people in London will be celebrating and welcoming you on the streets today.
The news also reported that some people have been trying to get a good spot since you announced your return from Mars the day before yesterday.
They brought tents and things like that and camped in the park near Buckingham Palace, afraid that they won't be able to enter that area today. "
"Is it that exaggerated?"
William laughed and grabbed Abigail's hand. Abigail sat on William's lap and looked at him with watery eyes.
If it weren't for the flashing lights outside the car, William wouldn't have let go of Abigail who was so willing.
"I'll teach you a lesson when we get home."
"Hehe."
Abby rested her head on William's shoulder and affectionately stuck her face to William's face. "I'll wait for you, my dear."
"William, William."
"Long live Devonshire, long live Devonshire."
A burst of enthusiastic cheers woke up the two people who were stuck together.
Abby looked up and saw that the convoy had entered the neighborhood near Buckingham Palace. She quickly kissed William's lips and sat up straight.
She first helped William tidy up his clothes and made sure that there were no lipstick marks on his face. Then, she tidied up her appearance.
Looking at the sea of people cheering on both sides of the street, William's mouth twitched. He should be the most famous person in the world.
"It seems that I'm still quite popular."
Abby, who was tidying up her appearance, couldn't help but roll her eyes at William. She said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes, you're the best."
There were too many people, and it took nearly half an hour for the convoy to enter Westminster. By the time they arrived outside the palace, it was already two o 'clock in the afternoon.
The convoy entered Buckingham Palace. As soon as William got out of the car, the square outside the palace was filled with enthusiastic applause and cheers.
He raised his hand and waved to the citizens of London, attracting even more enthusiastic cheers.
William opened the door for Abigail in a gentlemanly manner and held her hand as she got out of the car.
"Thank you, my dear."
Abigail smiled coquettishly at William and naturally held his hand as they walked towards King Philip, who was standing at the palace gate.
Before they got close, Philip took the initiative to extend his hand and said with a smile, "Welcome back, William."
William held Philip's hand with both hands and nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Your Majesty Philip."
After exchanging pleasantries, Philip pulled William's hand. "Let's go, you're the main character today, and you're our hero. There will be too many people who want to know you."
"This …"
At this moment, no matter how much William did not like to socialize, he could only pretend to be happy and smile as he shook hands and chatted with all kinds of people.
The only thing that made William secretly happy was that the number of people who came to welcome him today was far more than ever before.
Unfortunately, with Abigail as a comparison, William knew what these people were up to.
If he wanted to be Madam of Devonshire, not only would his noble status not add points to William's score, it would even make him more vigilant.
It had been no secret since a hundred years ago that the aristocratic families that had declined had used their daughters to exchange for wealth.
Even if there was a noble girl who was as beautiful as a fairy, William would rather use money to smash her down than marry her.
Therefore, when he met a beautiful girl along the way, although William's eyes made the other party feel that they would shine, he did not stop at all and had no intention of talking more.
This caused many of the nobles who had been paying attention to him to feel disappointed, but at the same time, they could not help but admire William's determination.
However, when they looked at the beautiful Abigail who had been following behind William, most of them could not help but feel discouraged.
Not to mention finding a girl as beautiful as Abby in the noble community, even if there was one, in terms of knowledge and ability,
Abby, who had two doctorates and managed the Devonshire Group without any major trouble, would definitely beat any noble girl of the same age.
