"Wow~!"
Hearing the explanation given by William, both senior officials and reporters stood up and applauded this 'selfless' entrepreneur.
The financial crisis that hit Greece was a great deal, though it happen several years before the bankruptcy from William's original world.
William, on the bright side, announced that he would assist the Greek government to tide over the difficulties.
The fact about this though was once William did this, Greece would become his personal possession.
The Greek government knew this.
Some scholars also know it.
But they also know that this was an inevitable fate.
Otherwise, Greece, who held huge debts, will eventually be acquired by many other countries or consortia.
Compared to others, Greece believes in Umbrella, who holds an excellent reputation and respect that they would be looked after.
Greece was since then the first country in the world to be acquired by Umbrella.
William did not do this for money and leisure, but for his personal policy.
First of all, if the country of Greece is well managed, huge profits can be created.
Also, William had tasks that must be completed.

...
After the press conference.
Many senior officials from Greece continue to be interviewed by the various reporters.
While William, and the President of Greece, and a group of officers left together and drove in a convoy to a military base on the outskirts of Athens.
Inside the large number of convoys, in an SUV driven by Hank;
William and Carlos Papoulias, the old man who was the current acting president, are in the back seat.
The two seem to be discussing something.
___
"Mr. Russell, on behalf of the Greek people, I sincerely thank you for your assistance."
Carlos put his hands together after speaking, and bent down deeply to pay tribute towards William.
"Hey, there's no need to do that."
Seeing the 78-year-old president salute him, William quickly reached out to stop him.
Then he spoke with a comfortable smile:
"Mr. President, as a doctor of law, you should know that Umbrella will assist Greece, the most important thing is to benefit. There will be no need for you to thank me. Plus sir, you have participated in World War II, while I was still a young child, ha ha. "
Carlos saw now that William had maintained a good quality in private, and there is no aggressive ego formed of his youth, which made the old president feel good.
So Carlos then smiled and said: "Indeed, I once heard the old Paul say that Mr. Russell in private was very easy to get along with. I thought he was fooling me, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"You are very polite."
William smiled slightly.
Then William lowered the armrest in the centre of the back seat and turned on the built-in on-board computer, while his expression gradually turned serious: "Mr. President, the purpose of my personal visit to Greece, I think you should know something about it."
"Ok."
Carolos also put away his smile sensing the change, and nodded before saying: "The army has already reported to me, but I don't know all the details yet to deal with the economic trivial matters."
"Mr. President." While still operating the computer, William explained: "Some of Umbrella's dispatched agents reported that an earthquake of magnitude 3 on the Richter scale occurred yesterday on Santori Island, 300 kilometres southeast of Athens. The tremor was minimal, but it caused the island's Santorini volcano to collapse somewhere at the foot of the mountain, forming an accessible cave. Nearby tourists were the first to discover the abnormality here. Afterwards, many people entered under the trend of curiosity, and some reported to the local police station. Therefore it has gotten the attention of our agents."
While talking, William clicked on a video file and said solemnly: "Mr. President, what you and I want to watch next was a video taken by our agents. As the person who knows Greece best, I hope you will help analyse what we are facing after watching the video. "
Hearing the words, Carlos took out his glasses, put them on then saying sternly: "Okay, I will do my best."

The following content is the investigation of the collapsed caves of the Santorini volcano by two secret agents hidden in Santorini.
Agent {Name Redacted on request}(A) and Agent {Name Redacted on request}(B).
After reporting to the command center in Athens, the two agents had rushed to the place where the incident occurred.
The Video's P.O.V.(Point of view) is taken from the helmet camera of Agent {Name Redacted on request}(A).
The video written log lays below;
Snow flickered across the screen while there is no signal on the screen.
A few seconds later, a first-person shot appears, revealing Agent A is driving an off-road vehicle.
Looking forward through the window of the car, you can see several passengers waiting outside, as well as a hole at the foot of the mountain on the right where four people can enter side by side.
Agent A parked the vehicle not far from the passenger and pulled the handbrake to turn it off.
...
Agent A: Command center, Agents {Redacted}(A) and Agents {Redacted}(B) Have arrive to the site of the incident. There are many civilians outside. What is the attitude of the Greek military?
Command Center: This is command center. The Greek military will arrive at your location in twenty minutes.
Agent A: Okay, moving forward to begin the investigation.
Command Center: Received, Good luck out there agents.
....
After Agent A finished the call with the command centre, they got off the vehicle with Agent B and walked in the direction of the civilians together.
..
Agent A: (While his Left hand holds his rifle firmly on his chest, he raises his right hand to signal) Everyone, please leave this area immediately, we are members of a special department that will be handling this case
Civilian: (Raised their hands, while looking anxious) But our friends are still inside, more than half an hour has passed!
Agent B: (Appears in A's field of vision, pretending to be angry at the travellers) Hey, have you ever seen those sci-fi horror movies, right? If you don't want a group of people in suits to appear at the door of your house one day, then I recommend you hurry up and move away, understand!
Civilian: (Now visibly frightened and motion with at the rest of his companions to leave) Understood sir! We've move!
Agent A: (Looking at the civilian's running away) Hey man, can't you have a better attitude?
Agent B: (Chuckles) Ha! It's enough to keep em alive. Is it that important to have a cheery attitude or something?
Agent A: (Shaking his head) Forget it, let's go, it's time to earn our pay check.
Agent B: Good.
...
After the two agents confirmed that the civilians had left, Agent B moved in front, as both of the Agents walked into the cave.
The deeper they walk, the more the natural light dulled till it was not enough to support the vision of the two.
Then they turned on the night vision mode with holographic glasses and cameras.
The video screen also gained a green tint to it.
Deep down for a few minutes, the space in the cave slowly became a regular geometric shape, and the originally rugged road became smooth.
The last two agents suddenly came upon a spacious space.
There is a building resembling a giant door frame at the end of the field of vision.
As they keep going.
Coming to the door frame, Agent A took a close look at the stone pillar on the left.
It was white even in the night vision screen. It appeared to be made of marble, with the carving style alike that of a typical Greek Doric pillar.
It seemed to be Classical.
Agent A: (Sighing aloud) Come in Command centre this is agent {Redacted}, there appears to be some kind of ancient ruins under this volcanic cave, ...oh my god........
