Chapter 17

She thought that William knew the secret of Group W, but in fact, William was hiding the Marvel Universe System, a secret that he would never tell anyone.

Even his mother Lena, his future wife and children, he would not penetrate into anything about the system.

The lady looked at William and smiled suddenly: "William?? Devon Hill, I am now very sure that you really know the secrets of the W team. I am now ordering you to tell everything you know as the director of the British military intelligence agency. I have This right, or I will arrest you for endangering national security."

William was about to make a few quibbles when he felt a man who had been sitting in the cafe box pull the door and walk out.

William calmly scanned the person with his mental power.

The man who walked out of the box said to the lady, "no, lady, you don't have this right"

Madam heard someone talking, turned her head and was surprised: "Gary?? Mallory, why are you here?"

Gareth?? Mallory said: "Madam, you are here to meet the new head of the w team, shouldn't I, the chairman of the intelligence and security committee, know that, madam, forgive me for offending, you really have no right to know about the w team, When the w team was formed, it has already stipulated that everything he does is only responsible to the safety committee, and the safety committee is only responsible to the prime minister, madam, you are overstepping your authority."

After ignoring the lady, Gareth Mallory said to William

"Garys Mallory, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. William Devonhill," he said, extending his hand to William.

William hurriedly shook hands with him and said, "William?? Devon Hill, I'm also very happy to meet you, sir."

Gareth?? Mallory nodded to Mrs. William and said, "Mr. Devonhill, can I call you William?"

William nodded hurriedly.

Seeing William nod, Gareth?? Mallory continued: "Come on, William, let's find a place for a drink and talk to you about your doubts."

"Okay, sir, we can go to the hotel restaurant. Now it's time for lunch. I heard that the grilled cod here is good."

"Ok, with you as a treat, of course I'm going, let's go, let's have a taste."

Chapter 22 The Earl's Succession

William took Gareth Mallory into the restaurant of the Hilton Hotel, and the two ordered a good meal.

Gareth?? Mallory said to William: "The Devon Hill family has been serving the special department in England for more than 140 years. I didn't expect that the once big family is now only your 19-year-old child." ?? Mallory face game sigh.

"You must be wondering why the MI will silence a w-squad for ten years and not activate it,"

William nodded.

"Hey, it's not that Madam doesn't want to start the w group, but she can't. The w group has been in the hands of the Devon Hill family for 140 years, and even the director of the committee doesn't know who is in the w group. , I only know that the person in charge is a member of the Devon Hill family, and the complete information is only backed up in the dark fort outside Buckingham Palace."

"What?" William was stunned after hearing this, how could this possibly be placed in Buckingham Palace.

"Isn't it amazing, haha, hundreds of years ago the royal family and nobles held intelligence agencies, and all the information would be backed up in the dark fort outside Buckingham Palace. This habit has been passed down to this day, but times have changed, and now the power of intelligence is handed over to In the hands of Downing Street, the only information the nobles still have in their hands is the dungeon."

Gareth Mallory took a sip of the wine William poured him and continued.

"The w group was originally an action group to investigate and eliminate the traitors in England, but no one wanted to hand over the handle to others. Even if there was an internal problem, they hoped to solve it themselves, so each department in England successively established its own. In the supervision department, the w group was useless for more than ten years, until the Germans broke our secrets one after another during World War II, and finally found out that there were many traitors inside, and then the independent w group was useful again. , but how much power is left in the group that has been silent for more than ten years, and the traitors are not so easy to remove."

"However, the responsibilities of the w group have changed again in the context of the overall peace in the world after World War II. In the past few decades, the w group has been assigned by the Security Committee to set up an independent department in the military intelligence bureau, which is responsible for some special security affairs and protects the royal family from Threats, only dispatched during special crises, and only responsible to the committee. The people in this group are all super experts, and she has always wanted to get these people.

"Hey, one thing I didn't know all the time, the directors of the committee are all born from nobles, and every time the committee is elected, these directors are picking people.

They can pick whoever they want, and they only pick those who don't hate the nobles, so the super expert group W has always been in the hands of the noble-born Devon Hill family, isn't it surprising, William "Garys?? Mallory laughed at William.

William did not expect that the situation of the nobles in this world is very different from the nobles in his previous world. The nobles in this world are much stronger than those in the previous life.

"how can that be"

Hearing Gallis Mallory's words, William can't believe it. You are kidding. Now all the nobles in England are pretending to be grandchildren. It is better for the nobles to go out of England. The status of nobles is somewhat useful, but in England for so many years Downing Street No. 10 spares no effort to suppress the nobles.

Now you tell me that the nobility in England still has so much power?

Gareth Mallory looked at William with the look on his face that you were lying to a child, and couldn't help but want to beat William.

He whispered, "You idiot, your grandfather's father

How did the three uncles of Qinhe die? They died for England. It is because there are too many nobles like them that the committee can always be in our hands. This is what our ancestors exchanged for blood, and no one wants to steal it. Walk. "

William reacted and hurriedly asked: "Then you are also a noble?"

"Nonsense, of course I was born of a nobleman. If I don't become the chairman of the committee, you are also born of a nobleman. We are a group. Don't think that you don't have a noble title now, so you can stay out of it. That's impossible, German. The grand duke of the county would not agree.

The grand duke is still very optimistic about you, otherwise you think that the duke who does not show up several times a year will suddenly be caught by reporters and asked a lot of questions. The title of Earl of Devonhill of Oxford has always been given to you. Keep it, it depends on whether you want it or not, William, there are a lot of people looking at you now, you better think about where you want to stand, hahaha"

"What's so funny, Gareth, this is what I want? The title has been inherited, no one can do it, I don't believe you can change the laws of England"

Gareth?? Mallory rolled his eyes, "I suddenly feel that you are worth our investment, why would you ask such an idiot question, how does the current earl inherit the title?

Your grandfather arranged it for you a long time ago. Although the current Earl is also a member of the Devon Hill family, he has no children, and Henry signed a contract with the current Earl in front of the royal family and nobles, as long as he If you don’t have children, the title must be returned to you. The earl is now 65 years old, and he has been busy for ten years, but it is still useless. I heard that when I went to the hospital for examination last month, it was confirmed that it is impossible to have any more children. Do you understand?”

William thought about it, but still felt unreliable.

"It's still impossible. I don't have the right to inherit at all. Other male relatives of the earl can inherit the title. It's not up to me to do this," William sighed.

English women cannot inherit titles, and if William's mother Lena does not inherit, neither does he.

"Haha, otherwise people would say that Henry?? Winster?? Devon Hill is a cunning fox. I don't know if your Devon Hill family is cursed, or,,, artificial Yes." Gareth Mallory stopped talking and glanced at William meaningfully, a picture you should understand, which made William's heart beat for no reason.

He was a little frightened by the thought that suddenly popped into his mind.

"The only one left with your pedigree now is you and the earl of Oxfordshire now,

When there are no other heirs, according to the Law of Peerage Succession, the heir registered in the House of Lords is now only you, and only you are the heir. As long as you do not refuse, you will be the Earl of Devon Hill in Oxfordshire, England, in a long time. I think you have money to inherit, but you will have to pay a lot of inheritance tax.

Now aristocratic families like yours that don't put their family property in trust funds can't be found in England. Mr. Henry Winster Devonhill is really ruthless. It seems that he is really afraid of other virtues. People from the branch of the Wenhill family jumped out to grab the inheritance. Now even if someone has this idea, they will not be able to inherit. First, they can't inherit if they can't pay taxes. Second, they can afford it.

The grand duke of Devonshire is also having a headache when heirs don't have much money, seriously, Mr. Henry?? Winster?? Mr. Devonhill, isn't he afraid that you have no money to inherit the title and property?"

"I'm afraid, if I can't inherit the title, I will give it to the English government for nothing. Henry must have thought so at the time," William sighed.

He now knows that the inheritance law of the nobles in this world is still somewhat different from the previous life. In his previous life, people like him had no right to inherit.

Chapter 23 The Secrets of the Oxford Regulations

William sighed and said: "I heard you say so much, it seems that I have no choice. Gareth, I'll be considered a member now."

"Of course, even if you don't want to join the group, the grand duke has persuaded the frustrated earl that tomorrow the earl of Oxford will go to the noble council to register you as his heir, and it will also be reported in the media. It's what Henry arranged, you can't accept it or not," Gareth Mallory said to William with a smile

"Damn, you guys can't wait, what exactly do you like about me, or what are you scruples about, otherwise you won't be so serious about calculating me?"

William asked the question in his heart, he wouldn't really believe that these people didn't have any demands on him, and they only wanted to be a good person.

Gareth?? Mallory thought about it and decided to tell Eric

"The Oxford Ordinance of 1258 has always been kept by the Earl of Oxford. Henry never told anyone that the Ordinance was there before he died. He only asked us to ensure that you can successfully inherit the title, and you can find the Ordinance. We I've been looking for 10 years and haven't been able to find it, this is a test for you."

"If I can't find it, it will be like this, will you be angry and kill me?" William asked nervously
