After William returned to the safe house he built, he opened the file cabinet, took out the information about Barney and Christmas, took a look at it, and printed out two files on the computer.
After filling out Christmas and Barney's information and photos in the file, I packed them in a bag, got up, put on my coat, and went out.
He went out, took out his cell phone and called Christmas, asking him and Barney to meet him at a cafe on Baker Street.
William ordered dinner in the cafe and had just finished eating when he saw Christmas and Barney push the door in.
William greeted Barney Christmas, asked them to sit down, took out a briefcase and handed it to them. After asking the waiter for two cups of coffee for Barney and Christmas, William sat there drinking his coffee.
After Barney and Christmas finished reading the file, they put it down without saying a word and started drinking coffee. They were waiting for William to speak first.
"Okay, now that you've finished reading it, just sign the document and you can leave. I'll find you when I have a mission," William said.
Barney asked, "Mr. Devonshire, what do we usually do and where do we stay?"
"Do whatever you were doing before. I will only contact you when there is a mission, and I will pay you according to the rules of mercenaries."
William finished speaking, seeing that Christmas hesitated, and said, "Ask anything you want to ask now. Once you leave this cafe, you will be secret operatives of the British MI6. Only I know your identities, not even the MI6. This is the appointment letter from the British Security Council and my ID."
Christmas and Barney took the appointment letter and documents and looked at them carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, it was not too bad.
However, the two of them still feel a little unhappy about having someone to control them in the future. But now the situation is that no one is strong and they have the upper hand in the hands of others, so they can only take it one step at a time and see what happens.
Christmas asked: "Mr. Devonshire, what do we need to do next?"
William smiled and said, "We are a hidden team. We only do things in the dark, and we will only let you do what you are capable of. Barney, I don't need to tell you what you are best at.
Barney and Christmas looked at each other and nodded to William.
William went on to say, "You have no information or identity in the outside world. You only get paid when you go on missions. I am the only one who knows the password to the secret box in Buckingham Palace. The box is a Da Vinci cipher cabinet with 18 rows of 26 English letters. It has a self-destruct device. No one except me can open it intact. So if you are exposed, you can only pray for good luck, because if you are exposed, it is you who exposed yourself. At that time, you can only save your lives first and then hide your identities. In the remaining days, pray to God that your enemies cannot find you."
Barney looked at William somewhat depressed. He wanted to ask, "What if you deliberately sold us out?" But after thinking about it, Barney didn't say it out loud, because he could imagine that if that situation really happened, it would mean that this group of people would be useless to William and would still threaten William's safety, forcing William to get rid of them.
Seeing that the two of them had no objections, William said to them: "OK, since you have no objections, then let's do it this way. By the way, one of the benefits of working for me is that you can get a good pension. The mission is
Death can get a pension of 5 million pounds, disability will get 2 million pounds and provide work. I think no one will pay such a high pension to mercenaries now, Barney, I am right."
Barney nodded and thanked William. "Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. I think if that happens, you should know who to give our pension to."
William nodded and said, "If you don't confirm with me who it is, I will pay the pension according to your family's information."
Barney and Christmas nodded and were silent for a while. They knew that the days to come would be more dangerous and more exciting.
After greeting William, the two got up and drove away. William sat in the cafe and carefully used his mental power to scan the cafe and the street several times. He got up to pay, walked back and forth twice to confirm that no one was following or monitoring him, and then drove home.
He hasn't been home for several days, and he hasn't been back to school for many days.
But he still had to take the information about Barney and Christmas to Buckingham Palace for storage. These days, he recalled many of the things his grandfather said to him when he was ill.
Among them was an unrelated English sentence, which he now thought was the password of Henry's safe. He wanted to verify it. If it was correct, then the other sentences Henry asked him to memorize were all true. Then he would need to go to the Earl's Castle in Oxford at the right time, because the Oxford Ordinance was in the castle.
William drove to a small building outside Buckingham Palace, got out and rang the doorbell. A man in his 60s with white hair opened the door for him and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
William said a line of ancient poetry to the old man, and at the same time, he placed his hands on his chest and made more than ten secret gestures. After watching William's hand movements, the old man smiled and said to William, "Welcome, Mr. Devonshire. You can call me Old Victor. No one from the Devonshire family has been to the fort for 10 years. I didn't expect that the heir of this generation of the Devonshire family would be like Henry, inheriting the family mission at such a young age."
William complained in his heart, what the hell is this family mission? I'm almost becoming a thug now. There's no benefit at all, but only a lot of trouble.
The verses William just said were useless. What was useful were the gestures he placed in front of his chest. These gestures were the secret codes of the Devonshire family.
If there are poems but no gestures, old Victor will take the visitor to a fake basement. The layout inside is exactly the same as the real one, except that the fake basement is full of unimportant documents and dazzling jewelry and gold. The documents are real, but not of much use.
Once the enemy leaves, other accomplices will be exposed unknowingly.
Simple but practical, it can also protect the bunker. There are too many secrets here, and there has never been any mistake or leakage.
William thanked old Victor and said, "Thank you, old Victor, I am honored to meet you. The Devonshire family is on the road to prosperity. You will probably see me again in the future."
Old Victor smiled and said, "Very good, son. I will take you to the Devonshire family's darkroom."
William followed old Victor into the house and came to an elevator. Old Victor scanned his palm print, eye mask, and voiceprint in front of the elevator, and finally entered the digital password behind William's back.
There was a "click" sound as the elevator went up and down. After waiting for almost a minute, the elevator opened. It was at least dozens of meters long. Victor and William entered the elevator. The elevator went down and opened the door. William saw an alloy warehouse like a bank vault.
After Victor came again to take security measures, the warehouse was opened. Entering the house of more than 100 square meters, William saw four armed guards and a middle-aged man in an iron fence. There was a bank warehouse door behind the iron fence.
Victor said to William, "Mr. Devonshire, I can only take you here now. There is a password inside that needs your confirmation." After that, he stretched out his hand and motioned William to enter the password on the display screen in front of the iron fence.
After William entered the password to confirm, old Victor turned, got into the elevator and left.
Led by the middle-aged white man, William entered the last warehouse. It was a basement with hundreds of small rooms. There was a combination lock in front of each room. William was led by the middle-aged man to the Devonshire family's room. The middle-aged man gestured for William to enter the password.
After William entered the correct password, the middle-aged white man said to William: "Mr. Devonshire, now you need to enter your handprint and eyeprint password. No one from the Devonshire family has come for 10 years. This system was only replaced in recent years. You need to re-enter your handprint and eyeprint."
William followed the middle-aged man's instructions and entered his hand and eye lines. The middle-aged man then said to him, "Mr. Devonshire, if you want to leave after you have dealt with your own affairs, you can press the reminder in the room and I will come to pick you up. You cannot leave this house alone without my company. Do you understand, Mr. Devonshire?"
William was speechless. Once you enter, you can't come out without permission. If anyone wants to harm him, they can just lock him up and kill him.
William hesitated at the door of the room.
