William didn't think for long, reached out to open the door and walked into the room. He had thought it through. This was a technological movie world, and there was nothing that could restrain his magic. Even in the worst case scenario, he could open the portal and escape.
As long as he escapes, he will kill everyone in the bunker and completely destroy it.
He has the ability to do so. Modern buildings are most afraid of fire and earthquakes. At worst, he can just spend more time to burn everything in the bunker, and then use an earth-based spell to shake the entire bunker.
When it comes to a matter of life and death, William won't care about exposing his magic. Who cares about so many things when his life is about to end?
He entered the room and closed the door casually. It was a small room of more than 20 square meters. He walked around and found that there was a bathroom and a bed inside. The presence of these things meant that there was a loophole. In the movies, it was very easy for people to exploit the sewers. Forget it. William didn't bother to think about it because he couldn't figure it out. The people in the bunker must have thought about it better than him.
After scanning the entire room with his mental power and finding no cameras or anything like that, William opened the cabinet in the room with peace of mind.
There was a half-meter-long cryptex in the cabinet. After William used the password Henry told him in his memory to open the cryptex, he found only a piece of letter paper inside. This surprised William. It seemed that his grandfather didn't even trust the people in the bunker.
I opened the letter, which was written by Henry. It said: William, it must have been 10 years when you open this letter. My dear grandson, I love you and your mother, but I can no longer accompany you. I just hope that your grandmother will not follow me to see God. Although I know the possibility is very small, I sincerely hope that she can accompany you for me.
William, please help me take good care of your mother, and take care of and love her on behalf of your grandmother and me. I really hope that God can give me some more time, but unfortunately, God will never listen to my prayers. That's right, our Devonshire family has not believed in God since the second generation of our ancestors.
William, remember what I told you. Find the Oxford Ordinance, a talisman that has protected our family for thousands of years. Remember, anyone who attempts to open or destroy this secret must be eliminated. This secret is known and protected only by us, not even your wife or mother.
Go to the family castle if you have the chance. There, a bigger secret awaits you. Remember, from now on, you can't trust anyone. Anyone who approaches you might be after our secrets. These secrets are related to the future of the Devonshire family and are the hope for our Devonshire family's revival.
William, how I wish I could watch you solve that mystery, the secret that your ancestors and I have spent more than a dozen lifetimes searching for. Find it, and then tell your ancestors and me at my grave.
That was all in the letter. William didn't know what other secrets were waiting for him in the castle. He only knew that his family had two secrets. One was a talisman that contained a big secret, and the other was a secret that the Devonshire family had been looking for for more than ten generations but had never found. Moreover, this secret was related to the future of their family. What could be related to the future?
After much thought, the things that can affect the future of a family are nothing more than a few points: 1. Offspring, 2. Land and wealth, 3. Power.
If offspring can be excluded, let alone rights, what is the point of aristocracy having rights in England now? There are not many people who can live a good life.
Then all that's left is wealth. It seems that what people have been looking for for more than ten generations can only be treasure. Wow, finding treasure is a difficult job. Especially since they have been looking for it for hundreds of years without finding it. William felt that there was no hope when he thought about it.
They have been searching for more than ten generations, but William doesn't have much confidence to find it. He can make wealth by himself. Even if he does nothing now and waits for the stock market crash to come, he can buy some stocks that will become big commodities at low prices. In ten years or so, 100 million can become tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.
Forget it, let's wait until we see the secret Henry hid in the castle. After William didn't find anything else in the room, he set a new password on the cipher box.
He did not put Christmas and Barney's information into the Da Vinci cryptex because William felt that Henry was very likely to no longer trust the confidentiality of the bunker.
There is no place in the world safer than his storage space. He does not intend to follow the previous measures and leave the information in the bunker. After all, times have changed. Who knows if anything unexpected has happened in the past ten years.
After finishing, William pressed the reminder bell and sat in the room waiting for someone to open the door for him.
Finally, he didn't have to wait long. The middle-aged man who brought him in gave him instructions outside the door to enter the password in the room.
After the door opened, William walked out of the basement, into the elevator, and walked to the ground floor. After saying hello to Old Victor, he got in his car and left. He no longer wanted to come to this damn bunker. He believed that Henry would not waste his time. Since Henry no longer trusted the bunker, he would not care about any other agreements in the future.
The news that William had entered the secret castle spread among the nobles and interested people after he entered the Devonshire family's exclusive room.
The Grand Duke of Devon and the Earl of Oxford also knew about it at the first time. Everyone is now certain that William is Henry's heir because William is the heir to all of Henry's secrets.
William drove thinking about everything Henry had said to him, and only after going through it in his mind did he feel relieved.
There is one thing William has been wanting to know these days, which is the list of W members in Henry's hand. It was not found in the bunker today. Either Henry really disbanded his W group, or Henry did not even believe the bunker and hid the list in the family castle.
He wanted to have this list because these people had served the Devonshire family for decades, but he was afraid to get this list because he didn't know whether these people had changed their hearts or no longer wanted to do the dirty work in the past ten years.
He was afraid of disturbing the lives of those who did not want to continue, and making them hate him for nothing. The youngest of these people are now in their 30s and almost 40s, and getting married and having children is a certainty. Forget it, William thought about it and decided not to disturb others. Let them be in peace.
Just live on.
William drove back home and his mother Lina was watching TV. Lina was a Chelsea fan and there was a Chelsea game today.
William went forward and hugged his mother. Lina kissed William on the face and then pushed William away: "Okay, don't disturb Mom from watching the game. Go take a shower first."
William curled his lips and thought, the English are really too crazy about football, but they don't even care about their son when they have football.
After taking a shower, William put on his pajamas and went downstairs to watch the game with Lina.
"Mom, where are our tenants? I haven't seen them for so long."
Lina looked at the TV and replied, "They moved away. There are paparazzi all day long now, and they can't stand it. If it weren't for this thing your grandfather left me, I would have wanted to move away. I've been annoyed by the paparazzi these days. They ask questions everywhere I go. By the way, William, what's going on with you and that reporter? Are you making friends?
Mom has been asked by paparazzi every day these days what she thinks of Diana and whether she would object to your relationship. God, I'm so annoyed by them.
And I warn you, don't think about getting married and having children so early. I'm not ready to be a grandmother yet. Now when I think about a little baby calling me grandma, my whole body goes numb. Did you hear me? What are you laughing at, William? Are you looking for a fight? "
Seeing that Lina was angry, William was busy rubbing Lina's shoulders and legs.
"Mom, don't worry. I'm not even 20 yet. I won't get married so early. I'm just having a girlfriend. Isn't that normal? Haven't you always been afraid that I'm gay? Now you believe I'm not!"
"That's more like it. Okay, don't bother me while I'm watching the game. We can talk about anything unrelated to the game after I finish watching it."
"Okay, but Mom, why don't we go to the stadium to watch a game someday? Now it's even possible for you to watch the game in the VIP room," William said flatteringly.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that. We are rich now and don't have to be as frugal as before. Come on, William, go and call and book the tickets for me. I want to book all the stadium tickets for this season."
After saying that, she urged William to book tickets for her. William curled his lips and picked up the phone to call. Luckily, he was able to book front-row season tickets. William directly bought two consecutive season tickets.
"Mom, I bought a season ticket in the middle of the third row. I paid 20 extra to get it. You are so lucky, Mom," William said to Lina in a tone of "come on, praise me."
"Well, baby, you're great, mommy give you a kiss." After kissing William, Lina pushed him away again.
The English people are crazy when watching football, and they are hard to mess with. William had no choice but to watch the game with Lina silently.
