Eight hundred and thirteen chapters welcome ceremony and take what they need
After putting on the dress, I put my energy out, and my whole body was swept by an invisible force. All the dust on the dress and shoes was swept away, and I looked straighter.
After doing this, within a few seconds a sound was heard from the spacecraft indicating that it would land on Sunday.
William grabbed the big-brimmed hat that was still floating in front of him, looked at the Devonshire family emblem on the hat, lowered his head slightly, put on the hat, and walked slowly to the cabin of the spacecraft, waiting for the spacecraft to stop.
On this occasion, after Serena and Nessa came out of the cab, they consciously stood behind William and had no intention of following directly.
The two of them knew very well that even if Lina was here, it would be impossible for her to follow William directly out of the spacecraft.
"Beep, beep, beep."
Several lifting sounds were heard, and the hatch opened automatically. William turned around, nodded and smiled at Serena and Nessa, and then walked out of the spaceship first.
From the moment the spaceship appeared in everyone's sight, everyone in England was eagerly watching the TV, waiting for the moment William appeared.
Those who were qualified to enter the London Space Center were even more excited after experiencing it personally, and their eyes were fixed on the opened hatch.
When they saw William, who was wearing a bright red dress and a big-brimmed hat on his head, the spectators were stunned for a moment, and then most of the people whose status was related to the nobility stood up excitedly.
They applauded William hard, and many people raised their hands in excitement and shouted to the tarmac, "Long live Devon Hill."
On the other hand, some people, on today's occasion, even if they felt that it was inappropriate for William to wear a noble uniform instead of a space suit, no matter how dissatisfied they were, no one spoke out against it.
Not to mention that there are so many people watching, if you cause trouble at this time, everyone will definitely hate you.
Besides, William himself is a Duke, and he wears aristocratic attire. At most, others can only accuse him of being wrong based on the occasion.
Since it won't have any effect, it's better to shut up. At most, when you applaud, your attitude will be a bit perfunctory.
More importantly, the dozens of cameras and hundreds of reporters in the press area are not vegetarians. If anyone is caught causing trouble, they will be famous all over the world tomorrow.
As the cabin door of the spacecraft opened, the lenses of dozens of cameras were all focused on William as he walked down step by step.
William was seen to be much thinner. The dress he wore was very close-fitting, revealing his broad shoulders and inverted triangle waistline.
Coupled with the large-brimmed hat and hat, and the deer head clan emblem shining with dazzling golden light, everyone felt that William at this moment was simply handsome and majestic beyond words.
Just wearing this outfit captured the hearts of many women, and this kind of intimate dress quickly spread all over the world.
"William".
Before William could get closer, Lina, whose eyes were filled with tears, couldn't help raising her hands and waving, shouting her son's name excitedly.
After walking a few steps, William stood one meter away from Lina, stood up straight, and saluted Lina,
Then he took off his hat and took the initiative to hug Lina, "I'm sorry, Mom, for making you worry."
Lina held William tightly for a long time before letting go, holding William's arms with both hands, and looked carefully at her much thinner son.
The tears in his eyes could no longer be held back, and he hugged William again and said with a choked voice, "It's okay, kid, it's okay, as long as you come back safely."
When he patted Lena on the back to comfort her, he discovered that the person standing behind Lena was Abigail.
This girl's eyes were also full of tears at this moment. Seeing William looking at her, she quickly covered her mouth with her silk-gloved hands,
She was afraid that the sound of her crying would spread to the surrounding crowd, and she was even more afraid that William would see her crying.
But Abigail didn't know that the unbreakable affection in her eyes at this moment made William stunned for a few seconds.
Then he couldn't help but look at her with tenderness in his eyes, and he tilted the corner of his mouth and gave her a big smile.
"Disgusting", Abi was shocked by William's smile. She rolled her eyes at him and lowered her head, daring not to look again, for fear that she would not be able to help but pounce on William.
And William's expression was inevitably seen clearly by the people in the back row.
While envious of Abigail, many people also laughed kindly.
Lina, who was hugging William when she heard the laughter, knew what was going on. It must be her son and Abi behind her who were flirting with each other.
Feeling angry, she let go of William, grabbed his face with both hands, and squeezed him hard a few times before letting go when his anger subsided a little.
Then she helped him arrange his dress, took the hat, and put it on William himself.
When she saw the Devonshire clan emblem on the hat, Lina couldn't help but shed tears again.
Fortunately, she also knew that there was no time for her to say too much at the moment, so she patted William on the shoulder and signaled with her eyes to leave her alone.
After kissing Lina on the cheek, William took a step forward and saw Wilson wearing the uniform of a noble lieutenant.
He couldn't help laughing and jokingly said, "Should you salute me, Mr. Lieutenant?"
Unexpectedly, Wilson actually saluted directly without hesitation.
Forcing William to return the salute seriously, he took the initiative to reach out and shake Wilson's hand, and said that he would settle the score with you later, and then ignored him.
Then he shook hands with England's first Richard.
Before Richard could speak, William glanced at Lina who was following him, and said thank you to Richard first.
"Haha, you're welcome, William, Mrs. Lina is your mother, let her be the first to pick you up, no one will say anything."
William smiled and nodded. It was indeed okay to let Lina pick him up first, but if this was the case, it would depend on what Richard thought.
If he didn't want to, Wilson might not be able to come, let alone stand in front of him.
"To express our gratitude, maybe we can talk about the batch of gold in the spaceship later."
"That would be best".
Hearing the words of expectation, Richard couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Finally, it was not in vain that he had put down his dignity and tried to sell William well.
"If possible, William, can you deduct the gold into pounds to pay taxes? You know, although gold is precious, it is only a precious metal after all. We are worried,".
"Okay, Richard".
Seeing everyone around him pricking up their ears, William interrupted Richard and said, "According to what you said, 40% of 50 tons of gold is 20 tons. At the current gold price, it is almost 400 million US dollars.
I will ask people from the Bank of England to transfer US$400 million directly into the tax account. Just remember to have someone send me the voucher."
"thanks, thanks".
Richard ignored the exclamations around him and took William's hand to thank him again and again.
He knows very well that after today, those 20 tons of gold will definitely not be worth 400 million US dollars in a short time, which is why he is unwilling to ask for gold.
Instead of watching the price of gold fluctuate due to the gold being shipped back from Mars, it would be better to cash out cash directly with William.
You don’t have to worry about the price of gold falling, and you can save a transaction fee.
But for William, this is also what he hopes to see.
