After leaving 5 gold coins and a check for a secret account, William bid farewell to Winston. He really couldn't stay too long to avoid people suspecting his relationship with Winston.
Carrying the suitcase and wearing a mask, he took the elevator down to the hotel lobby and saw a long-haired woman dressed very revealingly walking towards him. As she passed William, she blew him a kiss.
William looked at the passing girl. She was indeed very beautiful, tall and slender, with all the right curves. However, there was something wrong with her eyes. After glancing at William, she kept secretly looking at the suitcase in his hand.
It seemed that this girl recognized this type of suitcase and knew that the suitcase in William's hand contained gold coins. After William left the Continental Hotel and got into his Bentley, she kept following him.
Let her follow, I want to see what you want to do. After arriving at the Four Seasons Hotel, William checked into a presidential suite at the front desk and casually put the 195 gold coins into his storage space. The suitcase was just left on the table.
After taking a shower and ordering lunch, William heard the doorbell as soon as he came out of the bathroom. He thought it was lunch being delivered. He opened the door, only to see the beautiful woman who had been following him standing openly at the door, saying to William, "Do you need hotel services, Mr. Devlin?"
"You know me?" William asked strangely, then turned to let the beautiful woman in.
The beautiful woman smiled and walked into the suite, put down her handbag, and said to William, "Of course, not many people don't know you now. Didn't you watch the news two hours ago?"
Two hours ago? William thought that at that time, he should have just entered the Continental Hotel and was meeting Winston. What else was discovered by reporters?
"BBC TV reported on you two hours ago. Your tax declarations in America and England were reported. The TV said that you earned at least 400 million dollars during the American stock market crash and over 300 million dollars in England."
William immediately turned on the hotel TV. After changing a few channels, he saw NBC TV retransmitting the BBC news. The host said that the traceable funds William earned in this stock market crash already amounted to 700 million dollars, 400 million in America and 300 million in England.
This was because William's representative lawyer had declared his tax situation in these two countries the day before yesterday. The reason it was leaked was that Japan was collecting William's fund transfers in Japan.
They suspected that William had nearly 2 billion dollars transferred to the Swiss National Bank, all earned in Japan. Japan had been searching for evidence that this 2 billion dollars was William's own funds for days.
Once Japan found the evidence, William would have to pay at least 400 million dollars or more in capital gains tax, and he would also have to pay an additional 6% tax in England, resulting in a loss of almost 500 million dollars.
The TV also reported William's arrival in New York. He really didn't know how these reporters found out about his flight so quickly. Fortunately, he didn't meet Brian at that time.
William cursed the Japanese devils in his heart for being shameless. They knew they couldn't find evidence, but to disgust him, they actually leaked the matter to BBC TV.
At this moment, William's private phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Phillips, his exclusive manager at the Swiss National Bank. William picked up the phone and walked into the room. He didn't have time to deal with the beautiful assassin from the Continental Hotel now.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Devlin."
"Hello, Phillips. Are you calling me about the news report?"
"Yes, Mr. Devlin. Our bank took emergency remedial measures after the news was reported. Please rest assured, the 2 billion dollars from Japan in your account with us will not have any problems."
The only things that can be traced about that money are the National Bank and your betting agreement, and the funds are transacted between an account in the British Virgin Islands and the National Bank.
You don't need to worry about the island nation; they won't find any evidence because there isn't any.
Your money has never entered the island nation."
William felt relieved and thanked him, "Understood, thank you, Phillips.
I am very satisfied with your bank.
Please extend my regards to President Jean-Pierre Grays."
"Alright, Mr. Devlinshire, I will convey your greetings.
I won't bother you any longer.
Goodbye, sir."
"Alright, goodbye, Phillips."
William walked out of the room with a smile, only to see the beautiful assassin opening the box on the table.
Seeing William come out, she quickly smiled and said, "Is everything handled?"
William was in a good mood and didn't bother arguing with her.
He walked to the bar, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and asked the beauty, "What would you like to drink?"
"The same as you."
This woman was really thick-skinned; she wasn't embarrassed at all despite being caught red-handed.
She truly was an assassin.
William handed the drink to the beauty and said, "You didn't find the gold coins, so shouldn't you be leaving?"
"My name is Perkins.
Perhaps I can work for you.
My prices aren't expensive: 200,000 US dollars and one gold coin to kill someone.
Mr. Devlinshire, didn't you go to the Continental Hotel today to see Winston to handle some matters that you couldn't personally deal with?
I am a top assassin at the hotel, and 200,000 US dollars is really very little for you.
I can even solve some of your troubles as a man," she said, winking at William, looking as if she was ready to be plucked.
William would be crazy to get involved with such a woman.
God knows how many things she had done for missions.
Moreover, such a beautiful woman being an assassin clearly meant she was either greedy or had psychological issues.
He casually reached into his pocket, pulled out a gold coin from his storage space, and threw it to Perkins, saying, "This is a meeting gift, consider it payment for telling me the news.
If I need you, I will find you.
If the mission is completed well, I will give you an additional bonus.
Now, get out."
Perkins happily took the gold coin, not caring about William's tone at all.
"Do you really not need me to accompany you, sir?
I am very clean."
William shook his head.
Seeing that William wasn't interested in her, Perkins, somewhat disappointed, took out a business card and handed it to William, saying, "I'll wait for your call, Mr. Devlinshire."
After speaking, she blew William a kiss and left.
Fortunately, this girl, though greedy, wasn't an idiot and didn't think of kidnapping or extorting William.
Otherwise, William would have had to be ruthless.
He wasn't so foolish as to be unable to act just because Perkins was beautiful.
After Perkins left, William continued watching NBC.
The host on TV was discussing whether William's arrival in America at this time was due to the White House incident, making William, the new futures magnate, see some money-making opportunities.
Otherwise, why would William, who had never been to America, choose to come at this time?
The NBC host even directly expressed hope on TV that William would come to their station for an interview or show, hoping William would publicly state his purpose on the program to alleviate the unease among shareholders.
Publicize what, you ghost!
I'm just here to drop people off and meet people.
What purpose could there be?
He dared not enter the stock market again; after the White House attack, the fluctuations in the stock market were completely different from his previous life.
Sitting on the sofa, William had to consider whether he should really do a show, as letting people guess like this would not be beneficial to his future plans.
