"7 days, 500,000, what kind of model is so valuable? Take it, of course I take it," Brian Mills said happily. This is the most expensive job their team has received in recent years.
The highest paying task
"The person being protected is Alessandra Ambrosio, my employer's girlfriend. She's currently doing a fashion show in Miami. The show will end the day after tomorrow. I'll escort her to Switzerland. My boss said that if you can get the job done without alerting Alessandra, I'll give you an extra $200,000.
Brian, I'm a good friend, right? I know you're the best at quietly dealing with threats, so I specifically told my boss about it." Barney took credit.
"Thanks, Barney, I'm still counting on you as my old friend. I'll treat you to a drink when I get back," said Brian Mills.
"If you drink, there are plenty of opportunities, but guys, don't make any mistakes. If you make a mistake, you will be hunted down by my boss. I don't want to lose you, my old friend, Brian," Barney warned.
"Don't worry, Barney, you know us. We never make mistakes. If our fault leads to the death of the protected person, I will give my head as compensation to your boss," Brian Mills promised.
"Ok, I know your strength, otherwise I wouldn't recommend you to the boss. Be careful, Brian Mills. You might be facing armed kidnappers. Remember to bring all your weapons," Barney said.
"I understand. You have seven days to protect Alessandra Ambrosio. The opponent may be an armed kidnapper. Barney, I am best at dealing with this kind of situation," said Brian Mills.
"That's good, Brian. If you perform well this time, I think you will never lack work in the future. My boss is rich and generous, and he pays you very quickly. If you want cash, you can get it anywhere in the world, including cash."
"Okay, we'll see when we meet the employer whether to take cash or a check. Thanks, Barney," said Brian Mills.
"Bye then, Brian, good luck."
"Bye, Barney, good luck"
After hanging up the phone with Barney, William called his mother. After the call was connected, William heard his mother Lina's angry voice: "Damn it, William, why are you calling me at this time? Don't you know that this is the busiest time for the cafe?
And you actually went to the Bahamas alone to travel and pick up girls. William, how many girlfriends do you want to have? Tina cried after seeing the photo of you and that model in the newspaper this morning. Why did you bother Tina for no reason?
William thought to himself, 'It's not me who is provoking Tina, it's our little beauty Tina who is provoking me'.
"No, Mom, I didn't mess with Tina. She's only 16, how could I possibly mess with her?" William said.
"You mean if Tina was older, you would mess with her? Well, William Devonshire, Mom never thought that you would become so bad once you got rich. A few days ago, you found that Diana Rigg, and now you have found a Brazilian model. You even want to harm the girl who grew up with you. You are really something, William, get back to London right now, and don't even think about hanging around outside anymore," Lina yelled.
The Queen Mother was angry, which made William a little scared. He said weakly, "Mom, I can't go back now. I'm doing business in Montenegro now. I will go back immediately after I finish my business."
When Lina heard William say that he was working in Montenegro, she didn't embarrass him. She calmed down and said, "Okay, business is important, but how long will it take for you to come back? You'd better not lie to me, otherwise you can wait to be criticized."
"No, Mom, I definitely didn't lie to you. It might take ten days depending on the situation," William said quickly, changing the subject.
"Mom, a team will come to see you tomorrow. The leader is called Barney. They will take you and Tina back to Oxford Castle Town to sign a contract with the current owner of the castle. I plan to buy back Devonshire Castle, but I can't go back now. Mom, you have to help me sign the contract."
"Are you serious, William? You're going to buy the castle back. That's great, baby. We can finally go back to the castle. Thank you, baby. Mommy loves you."
When Lina heard William say that he wanted to buy back the castle, she was so happy that she didn't even care about what William said about sending someone to protect her. She never thought about why William wanted to send someone to protect her.
"Yes, Mom, you can go back to the castle tomorrow. Just in case, I have sent someone to protect you back to the castle. If you have any problems, just tell the people I sent. Remember to go when the person who picks you up arrives. The cafe will be closed for rest first," said William.
"Okay, don't worry, baby. I'll close the shop after I'm done with my work today and go to the castle tomorrow. Mom will be waiting for you in the castle. Haha, I'll clean up the castle so that when you come back you can see the same thing as when you were a child," Lina said excitedly.
After talking to Lina, William called Alessandra Ambrosio again. The two of them talked sweetly on the phone for a long time. Finally, William said that he had hired some temporary bodyguards for Alessandra, who would escort her to Switzerland to meet William after the show.
Alexander didn't want a bodyguard at first. She figured she needed protection when she was 20 and going to Switzerland.
Finally, after William persuaded him and specifically said that the money had been paid and could not be refunded, and that he was really worried about Alexander going to Switzerland alone, he reluctantly agreed to send a bodyguard to accompany him.
After making the arrangements, William relaxed, whistled, stood up, changed his clothes and prepared to go out for a walk.
He had never been to Montenegro before, but after taking a quick look in the car that afternoon, he had developed a strong interest in Kotor, the best-preserved ancient city in Montenegro. As soon as he entered the hotel lobby, he saw Bond leaving with Vespa, but he did not follow Bond.
Strolling happily in this ancient town, time seemed to have gone back to the Middle Ages. You can look around as you walk, without a clear destination. When you get tired, you can find a cafe that can be found everywhere to sit down. The slow pace of life calmed William's restless heart.
I ordered some local specialties in the cafe. After eating, I walked out of the cafe and wanted to go back to the Royal Casino, but found that I was lost. Finally, I returned to the Royal Hotel with the help of a kind local.
It was already 5:50 when he returned to the hotel. William hurried into the hotel. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw several middle-aged white men walking towards him.
"Hello, Mr. Devonshire. I'm Steve from the Swiss National Bank. The wildcard you requested has been processed, and the poker game is about to begin in ten minutes. As for the tax avoidance plan you requested, our bank has already prepared it for you. However, Mr. Devonshire, I suggest you come with me to the poker game first. Time is running out, and you can sign the documents during the break in the game."
William nodded with a smile, these guys are really awesome, "Okay, thank you Steve, let's go."
"Okay, Mr. Devonshire, please follow me."
Steve took William into the gambling room specially prepared by the hotel today.
