Chapter 115 Turner’s Era

William asked impassively, “The Lloyd Family for a Grandmaster. Doesn’t it sound like a good bargain to you?”

The middle–aged man was shocked; he knew that William was referring to him. His practice with the elixir field went seriously wrong and hadn’t shown any progress over the last 20 years, which distressed him very much and greatly affected his future in the organization. Taking a deep breath, he asked, “Mr. Barrett, you have a solution to this?”

“Since I can see that, I have a solution to that, of course, but that’s another thing. You can come to me anytime after today.”

After falling silent for a moment, the middle–aged man suddenly guffawed. “Okay! That’s it for the Lloyd Family. We’ll withdraw from here!”

William replied. “You may walk yourselves out!”

A group of people came in and carried all the wounded and the dead outside, while Ruby and Keith left with the middle–aged man. Before they left, the middle–aged man said, “Mr. Barrett, you’re worth more than ten Lloyd Families combined. I’d like to be friends with you.”

William replied, “That depends on the choice you make.”

After the group of people retreated, Brandon was finally relieved. He said, “That was a close call! If this guy struck regardless, we’d have to fight for our lives. The Innate Realm was also known as the Realm of the Elixir Field, Practitioners in this realm practiced the elixir field with their Qi, so their combat power would increase exponentially. Because of that, Brandon wasn’t sure of defeating the middle–aged man..

William didn’t think so, though. He had a Divinus inside him, with the help of which he might stand a chance of killing the middle–aged man.

When they returned to the living room, Mr. Richter had finished signing the equity transfer agreement.

At this moment, Turner still felt as though he were dreaming. He couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, are you really letting me manage the Lloyd Corporation?”

Theodore replied with a smile, “You’re as clever as when I was younger, actually. It’s just that you’ve been suppressed by Keith and Ruby over the years, so your talent was hidden. Now, you can rest assured. You’re my son and my most trusted family member.”

Turner nodded vigorously. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll do a good job of managing our family!”

Tia was happy, too. She said, “Grandpa, seriously, Dad and I have made plans to leave the Lloyd Family. before this. Thomas almost killed us in Southside just a short while ago.” She then proceeded to tell Theodore what had happened in Southside.

Upon hearing this, Theodore was both taken aback and furious. “What a goddamn son of a b*tch!” Obviously, Thomas wasn’t his son either. Like Keith, he was part of their enemy’s plan.

William replied, “They won’t plot against the Lloyd Family for the time being. Both Keith and Ruby have

left.”

Theodore was surprised. They’re gone?”

William nodded. “The man you talked about just showed up again. He’s now a Grandmaster, but something’s

‘s wrong with his cultivation, so I offered to cure him in exchange for the Lloyd Family’s safety. As for whether he’ll keep his promise. I’m not sure of that yet”

Theodore let out a long sigh. He bowed to William, saying, “Mr. Barrett, I’ll never forget the great kindness you’ve shown us?”

Turner also bowed to William, who promptly said, “You two don’t have to do this.”

Tia announced with a smile, “Grandpa, William and I have invested in Ivory Dragon Cove, and the project is already underway. Nominally, the investment was made by Tia alone, so the project had nothing to do with the Lloyd Family.

Theodore smiled. “How can I not know what you guys have up your sleeve? Otherwise, do you think the project would get approved so easily?”

Tia asked in amazement, “Grandpa, did you help us in secret?”

Theodore nodded. “I just knew that you guys must’ve secured the help of an expert in order to work on Ivory Dragon Cove, so it’s only natural that I’d help you guys in secret. Once this project is completed, it’ll make astonishing profits!”

Tia explained. “That expert is none other than William. He’s the one who sorted out the dragon at Ivory Dragon Cove.”

Filled with awe and admiration, Theodore said, “Mr. Barrett, what a godlike person you are!”

William replied, “You flatter me, Old Mr. Lloyd. Just send somebody to get your medicine. You still need. to build up your health, after all.”

Theodore called the butler and ordered someone to get his medicine from the dispensary. The Lloyd Family had a dispensary of its own, so it was really convenient for them to get medicine.

Just then, William replied, “Old Mr. Lloyd, you’ve got a lot of top–quality medicines in that dispensary of yours. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”

Theodore replied with a laugh, “Haha! That’s nothing. Just make yourself at home and use those medicines as you please.”

William then introduced Scarlet and Brandon. Recognizing Brandon, Theodore thanked him repeatedly.

Soon after that, Theodore had a banquet arranged to thank William and others.

Theodore still had a lot of questions, though. He asked at the dining table, “Mr. Barrett, it’s lucky that you came to our aid today, but I still can’t believe that the man actually looked the same as he was back then. Wouldn’t he age?”

William explained, “He was probably already a Qi State master back when he plotted against you. At such a stage of cultivation, it’s fairly easy to preserve one’s appearance with the help of medicine and some methods to maintain good health. In reality, however, I saw that his bodily function was already declining” He continued, “To put it simply, he appeared to be in forties, but his body’s actually almost 80 years old. Had he not been a Grandmaster, his bodily function would’ve declined even more.”

Brandon asked, “Is that why he’s willing to use the Lloyd Family to make a deal with you?”

William nodded. “Something’s wrong with his cultivation. If it’s not addressed, his cultivation will go terribly wrong in a year or two,”

After dinner, Brandon was the first to take his leave, whereas Scarlet followed William to the construction site. As one of the Immortal Bones, she could absorb some of the Natural Qi despite not yet reaching a certain stage of cultivation. That was why he brought her with him so that she could cultivate here with him.

Scarlet was unable to perceive Qi. She just felt comfortable standing there, so she sat cross–legged in meditation and adjusted her breathing.

Realizing that her breathing technique wasn’t very clever, William secretly taught her the Thunder Storm Breathing Technique, which would certainly improve her fighting prowess.

On the other hand, William also benefited from the opportunity to suck in Qi with the help of Divinus.

Two hours later, Divinus sucked up enough Qi. Just like the previous time, it fed part of its divine ability back to William, which blended into his own Qi.

After a day of research yesterday. William found that the Golden Qi had miraculous effects. It could not only strengthen his meridians but also heal his hidden injuries, which was an ability that he would wish for as a physician.

Shortly after Divinus sucked up enough Qi, word came from Genevieve that Oakley, the basketball superstar, had arrived in Justford to receive treatment from him when he had time. Therefore, he had Jason escort Scarlet back to One Prosperity, while he drove Kane’s Mercedes–Benz W140 to meet Oakley.

Genevieve was waiting in the first–floor lobby of Hotel Dragunity. As soon as she saw William, she went up to him and said with a smile, “Mr. Barrett, thank you so much for your help.”

William replied, “You’re welcome. Where’s Oakley?”

Genevieve explained, “He’s staying in his room for fear of getting recognized. His family and agent are here, too.”

William nodded. “Did you explain everything to him?”

Genevieve replied, “Yes, I did.”

“Okay, let’s go up, then.”

On the third floor of the hotel, Genevieve knocked on the door of a room..

The door opened, revealing a middle–aged woman with slanting eyebrows and thin lips, who gave the impression of being very domineering and mean. After looking William up and down, she instantly. frowned in displeasure. Speaking with an Archalonian accent, she said, “Oh, Miss Welby, is he the Dr. Barrett that you talked about? He looks so young. Could he be a con man? Let me tell you something. We came across a few frauds before, and I reported all of them to the police.”

William was speechless. Is this woman out of her mind? How can she accuse me of being a fraud as soon as we meet?
