Chapter Five Hundred and Four The Right of Independent Judges
After coming off the boxing ring and passing by William, Laura suddenly punched William in the face.
From the moment Laura nodded obediently, William knew that this girl had no good intentions, so he slapped the boxing gloves towards his face.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and a huge force not only slapped her fist away, but also staggered back a few steps involuntarily, and bumped into the steps of the boxing ring.
"It hurts." She rubbed her painful arm and the rounded area behind her back. Laura looked at William in disbelief, immediately became honest, and softly cursed the monster.
"Listen, I will only wait for you for five minutes. After this time, our agreement will be invalid. I don't have time to waste by a rookie like you who has neither money nor strength."
"Asshole", although she cursed her words, Laura didn't waste any more time in action. She immediately rushed to the changing room, hurriedly changed her clothes in five minutes, and came to William's motorcycle.
After throwing a helmet to Laura, William drove her directly to the Kingsman Academy more than 20 kilometers away on his motorcycle.
Arriving at the Secret Service Academy, Harry, who had received the Sunday notice, was waiting outside the gate. He smiled at William, who took off his helmet, and said, "I didn't expect you to come so early. Are you in a hurry today?"
"That's not true. I got up early today, and if I send people here earlier, I can train earlier." He pointed at Laura and said, "This is Laura Crawford, the lady of Earl Crawford's family, my
employer".
"Haha, it seems that Miss Laura is very, very special, otherwise how could I hire you?" Harry looked at William with an ambiguous smile, and then stretched out his hand to Laura with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Crawford.
, I’m Harry Hart, nice to meet you”.
"Hello, Mr. Hart, I'm Laura Crawford, nice to meet you too," Laura greeted in the same way.
"Let's go, I'll take you to visit the academy first." Harry took William and Laura to visit all the places in the academy that were open to Laura.
Then he handed Laura to Merlin, the director of the academy, and told him that Merlin's training of Laura must be carried out exactly according to the training methods of Kingsman.
After dealing with the matter of Laura entering the academy, the two left Laura, who was a little nervous and hesitant, and came to Harry's office.
"The famous Miss Crawford," Harry handed William a glass of whiskey, "Are you serious?"
"No, how is that possible? Anyway, I don't have any plans to get married or be stable now and just keep a girlfriend." He took a sip of whiskey. "On the one hand, this girl is willing to spend 100 million US dollars to hire me to find his father. On the other hand,
I feel Laura has a lot of potential, it’s just a matter of investing in advance.”
"However, if she doesn't mind the fact that I have two women, I don't mind trying it with her."
"You are such a bastard, William," Harry shook his head and said in contempt, "It seems that the time when I expect the next generation of the Devonshire family to be born will be greatly postponed."
"Knock, knock, knock", several knocks on the door rang. Harry looked at the office door unexpectedly, and looked at William. He saw William put down his wine glass before walking to the door.
What surprised the two of them was that it was Wilson outside the door.
"Good morning, Your Highness," Harry greeted Wilson hurriedly.
"Good morning, Mr. Harry, I'm sorry for coming to the academy without informing you," Wilson apologized.
"It's okay, Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
"If possible," Wilson said, pointing to William in the office, "I would like to talk to William alone."
Harry turned to look at William, and when he saw that William had no reaction, he nodded and smiled, "No problem, Your Highness, you are free to do as you like. I'll go check on the students in the academy first."
"Thank you, Harry".
Harry and William nodded, walked out of the office, and closed the door.
As soon as Harry left, William rolled his eyes at Wilson who was sitting next to him and drank whiskey. After the two were silent for more than 20 minutes, he saw that Wilson had been hesitant to say but didn't know what to say.
look,
William glared at him helplessly and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Wilson hesitated for a few words, and finally spread his hands and said helplessly, "Okay, my grandfather heard that you brought Miss Crawford to the Secret Service Academy, so he asked me to rush over and ask if you still have any ideas about taking over Kingsman?
We can,,"
Before Wilson could finish speaking, William slapped him on the shoulder, "I am now a Grand Duke. Only an idiot would take over the secret service organization that was supposed to protect me and instead serve the nobles."
"Damn it," Wilson rubbed his painful shoulder vigorously, "God, can't you just listen to me? And are you a monster? My shoulder was almost dislocated by you."
"Sorry man, I didn't mean to",
But the smile on William's face betrayed him. He had meant the slap just now, so it was clear that Wilson would only be in pain for a few minutes at most.
Sure enough, after waiting for a minute or two, the pain slowly disappeared. Wilson looked at the smiling William helplessly, "Grandpa knows that you don't like to protect others, and you hate being controlled by others, so he asked me to tell you, as long as you
"When you take over Kingsman, except that the name cannot be changed and the royal family is protected, you have the final say on the rest of Kingsman."
William shook his head and said, "I said last time that I have no interest in helping you make money for nothing. If I have any money-making ideas, I won't keep them to make a fortune myself. If I take the wrong medicine, I won't give it to you."
Wilson knew this question was the key.
The last time he was rejected because of money, Philip thought carefully afterwards and soon regretted wanting to use William's ability to make money to revitalize Kingsman's assets.
Indeed, as William said, no one is a fool, and no one can keep the way to make money in their own hands, so this time Philip had no intention of taking advantage of William in terms of money.
"Don't worry, we are not trying to take advantage of you now. We plan to set up a trust fund for Kingsman's assets. As long as you can ensure that these assets grow by 5% every year, whatever else you earn will be used by Kingsman."
"Hehe", William squinted his eyes and smiled, "I didn't earn the funds, so you have the nerve to say you didn't take advantage of me."
"Man, 5% annual growth is not a condition for you."
This is true, even as long as the assets are not sold and left alone, the annual growth will be more than 5%, so William nodded directly.
"Then we exchange the power of independent operation, investigation and even refereeing for you to spend one to two hundred million pounds a year to support Kingsman. This condition is not too much."
"No", William cherishes his words like gold. If he really wants to get the right of independent referee, William will never care about the one or two hundred million pounds a year.
"Well, now I leave Kingsman to you. Why do you have any hesitation?"
William thought for a while and asked, "Approximately how much of the assets held by Kingsman are left?"
"About 1.7 billion pounds, 20% of equipment, and the other 80% are fixed assets," Wilson replied immediately.
