William took Gareth Mallory into the restaurant of the Hilton Hotel, and the two of them ordered dishes.
Garris Mallory said to William: "The Devonshire family has served England's special departments for more than 140 years. I didn't expect that only a 19-year-old child like you is left in the once big family." After speaking, Gareth Mallory said:
Mallory looked sad.
"You must be curious why the Military Intelligence Agency let a W team remain silent for ten years without activating it,"
William nodded.
"Hey, it's not that Mrs. M doesn't want to activate Group W, but that she can't activate it. Group W has only been in the hands of the Devonshire family for 140 years. Even the director of the committee doesn't know what Group W is.
I only know that the person in charge is a member of the Devonshire family, and the complete information can only be backed up in the bunker outside Buckingham Palace."
"What?" William was stunned after hearing this. How could this be placed in Buckingham Palace?
"Isn't it amazing, haha. Hundreds of years ago, the royal family and nobles controlled the intelligence agency. All information would be backed up in the bunker outside Buckingham Palace. This habit has been passed down to the present, but times have changed, and now the power of intelligence is handed over to
In the hands of Downing Street, the only intelligence the nobles still have is the bunker."
Gareth Mallory took a sip of the wine William poured him and continued.
"Group W was originally an action group to track down and eliminate traitors within England, but no one wanted to hand over the responsibility to others. Even if there were internal problems, they wanted to solve them themselves, so various departments in England successively established their own
In the supervisory department, Group W was of little use in those ten years. It was not until World War II that the Germans uncovered our secrets one after another, and finally found out that there were many traitors within. At this time, the independent Group W became useful again.
, but how much strength can be left in the group that has been silent for more than ten years? Traitors are not easy to eliminate, so people in your family will continue to sacrifice."
"However, after World War II, when the world was generally peaceful, the responsibilities of Group W changed again. In the past few decades, Group W has been assigned by the Security Committee to establish an independent department in the Military Intelligence Bureau, responsible for some special security affairs and protecting the royal family from
Threat, only dispatched in special crises, only responsible to the committee, the people in this group are some super masters, all M she has always wanted to get these people.
"Hehe, one thing M has never known is that the supervisors in the committee are all born into nobles, and these supervisors are the ones who select people every time the committee is elected.
They can pick whoever they want, and they only pick those who don’t hate the nobility, so a group of super experts like Group W has always been in the hands of the Devonshire family, who was born in the nobility. Isn’t it surprising, William "Garys?"
Lori laughed heartily at William.
William did not expect that the situation of the nobles in this world was very different from that of the nobles in his previous world. The nobles in this world were much stronger than those in his previous world.
"How can this be"
William didn't believe what Gareth Mallory said. Are you kidding me? All the nobles in England are pretending to be grandsons now. It's better for nobles to leave England. The status of nobles is of some use, but in England for so many years, Downing Street has been nothing.
Sparing no effort to suppress the nobles.
Now you tell me that nobles still have such great power in England?
Gareth Mallory looked at William's face as if he was lying to a child, and couldn't help but want to beat William.
He yelled in a low voice: "You idiot, how did your grandfather's father and three uncles die? They died for England. It is because there are too many nobles like them that the Commission can always be in our hands. This is
No one can take away what our ancestors bought with their blood."
William reacted and asked quickly: "Then you are also a noble?"
"Nonsense, of course I was born into a noble family. How else would I be the chairman of the committee? You are also born into a noble family. We are in the same group. Don't think that you can stay out of it now that you don't have a noble title. That's impossible, German
The Grand Duke of the county would not agree either.
The Grand Duke is still very optimistic about you, otherwise you would think that the Duke, who has not shown up a few times a year, would suddenly be caught by reporters and asked a lot of questions. The title of Earl of Devonshire of Oxford has always been given to you.
Keep it, it depends on whether you want to or not, William, there are many people looking at you now, you better think clearly about where you want to stand, hahaha."
"What's so funny about this, Garris, is this what I want? The title has been inherited. There's nothing anyone can do about it. I don't believe you can change the laws of England."
Gareth Mallory rolled his eyes, "I suddenly felt that you are worth our investment. Why would you ask such an idiot question, how did the current earl inherit the title?
Your grandfather had made arrangements for you a long time ago. Although the current earl is also from the Devonshire family, he has no children. Moreover, Henry and the current earl signed a contract in front of the royal family and the great nobles. As long as he
If you have no children, the title must be returned to you. The earl is now 65. He has been busy for ten years but it is still useless. I heard that when I went to the hospital for a check-up last month, it was confirmed that it is impossible to have any more children. Do you understand?"
William thought about it, but still felt it was unreliable.
"This is still impossible. I have no right to inherit at all. The earl's other male relatives can inherit the title. Even if you think about it, it won't be my fault," William sighed.
English women cannot inherit titles. If William's mother, Lena, has no inheritance rights, then neither does he.
"Haha, otherwise people would be so good at saying that Henry Winston Devonshire is a cunning fox. I don't know if your Devonshire family has been cursed by someone, or... man-made.
"Garys Mallory stopped talking and looked at William meaningfully, with a meaning that you should understand, which made William's heart beat inexplicably.
He was a little frightened by the idea that suddenly appeared in his mind.
"The only ones in your group who have proven bloodline are you and the current Earl of Oxfordshire.
When there is no other heir, according to the Noble Succession Law, the only heir registered in the Noble Council is you, and you are the only heir. As long as you do not refuse, you will soon be the Earl of Devonshire, Oxfordshire, England.
I think if you have money to inherit, you will have to pay a large amount of inheritance tax.
Nowadays, there are no aristocratic families like yours in England who have not placed their family property in trust funds. Mr. Henry Winston Devonshire is really ruthless. It seems that he is really afraid of other Devonshires.
People from the branch of your family jumped out to grab the inheritance rights. Even if there are people who have this intention, they will not inherit it. First, if they can't pay the tax, they can't inherit it. Second, if they can afford it, there is no bloodline certificate in the noble council.
The Grand Duke of Devonshire is also troubled by the fact that his heir does not have much money. To be honest, Mr. Henry Winston Devonshire, isn't he afraid that you will not have the money to inherit the title and property?"
"I'm afraid of Mao. If I can't inherit the title, at worst it will be given to the English government for nothing. That's what Henry must have thought at the time," William sighed.
He now knows that the aristocratic inheritance laws in this world are somewhat different from those in his previous life. In his previous life, people like him did not have the right to inherit.
