The instant William succeeded with his breakthrough, he immediately started to open up his tertiary meridians. Now, coupled with his divine senses and xâray vision, he could accurately locate his tertiary meridians and use the Golden Qi to hasten the process without worry.
This time, he opened up the tertiary meridians to his brains first. By doing so, it would increase his intellectual capacity, allowing him to be able to face stressful situations with a clearer mind. It also helped that such actions would allow for better memory.
The brain meridians were the most delicate yet complicated ones because they were closely packed together. Fortunately, he had awakened his divine senses and possessed xâray vision, so the entire went smoothly.

At 10.00AM, he heard a roar akin to the sound of thunder in his mind as the last tertiary meridian was opened!
Right then, he could feel his scattered thoughts coming together to form a logically sound argument. It was as though an average computer had turned into a supercomputer and it could calculate numerous possibilities within seconds. To his delight, his five senses: his hearing, sight, touch, and so forth had also heightened considerably. All the old memories locked away in his mind became as clear as day. Sure enough, he was able to arrive at the best possible judgment available within seconds using his improved
senses.
Prior to this, he had to slave away in order to understand and learn the twentyâfour styles of Dragon Maul. Yet, after his breakthrough, he only needed a couple of seconds to immediately grasp the knowledge before him. Thus, he wasted no time as he sprang to his feet and started going through the motions. Soon, he had successfully familiarized himself with the first set in a short amount of time. Then, he began practicing the second and third styles, all of which he was capable of learning proficiently in a matter of seconds.
In just a few minutes, he had mastered all twentyâfour styles of the Dragon Maul! That wasnât all, he also took the initiative to combine the Dragon Maul style with the Shaylin Dragon Claw style, blending them together. He had created a whole new set of moves and perfected them very quickly, pushing the boundaries set by those techniques by coming up with his own ideas.
As he was so immersed in his practice, he gradually lost himself as time passed by. Hence, by the time he came to and perfected the Dragon Maul, it was already past 2.00PM.
When he checked his phone, he saw that he received several missed calls, and they were all from Tia, Kane, and Sherika.
So, he immediately returned their calls respectively and found out that Tia was about to seal a big deal tonight, and it would be the first for her ever since she took over the Lloyd Family. So, she was nervous and wanted William to accompany her, to which he gave his word saying that he would be there tonight.
Kane didnât have anything going on recently and merely wanted to invite him out for drinks because he had just procured two bottles of topânotch whiskey. Alas, William had no choice but to turn him down as he had a lot on his plate at the moment.
As for Sherika, she said that Oakley was currently accompanying her and hoped that William would forgive him for her sake. To be frank, William rather admired Oakley, the athlete, because there werenât many basketball superstars in Igneusâonly two in totalâand he didnât want him to go down like this. Nonetheless, he didnât promise her anything and simply said that theyâd discuss this matter once they met

When he left the house, he recalled that today was the day of Elsaâs audition. After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to call her and ask about the situation. Yet, nobody answered when he called. Even though he found it odd, he didnât pay any mind to it and figured she was probably busy with something.
At the moment, the production team of Voice of the World was holding an audition at Bernard Music School. During the audition, five professional judges would place their votes, and only candidates who had more than four votes could pass the audition and enter the second round of auditions.
Elsa has never felt more nervous in her life as she stood amongst the crowd, waiting for her turn. Suddenly, she heard a whispered discussion from behind her.
âDid you guys give the judges money yet?â a girl asked.
××
gave 15,000. What about you guys?â
âI gave 11,000,â
13,000.
âDamn! These judges are so corrupt! They wonât let anyone pass unless we pay out, huh?â
âWhatever. Weâve given them the money, anyway, so weâll definitely pass the audition.â
Else felt her heart sink when she overheard their conversation. Do I need to pay for a chance to shine? Thereâs no way anyone can call this an impartial audition if I do. Still, she didnât have time to dwell on the morally corrupt judges as it was her turn. Regardless, she was confident that the appearance and piece that she chose were topâtier, so she was certain that she could achieve a very high score. Yet, only two out of the five judges voted for her.
Although she had expected such an outcome after accidentally cavesdropping on the discussion earlier, she was still rather disappointed. So, it was with the thought of judges accepting bribes in her mind that she mustered her courage to ask one of the judges who didnât vote for her, âMaâam, may I ask what I can improve on?â
The woman in her forties said indifferently, âImprove? You look like a vixen and the sight of your face makes me want to throw up. Are you happy now? Next!â
How can she insult me like this? Elsa thought, utterly stunned, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she dejectedly left the room with her head lowered. After she staggered out of the room, the more she thought about it, the more unjustified she felt, and she whisked out her phone to call William. It was then that she saw that she had a missed call from him.
In the meantime, William had just arrived at Sherikaâs house when he received Elsaâs call. âHow did you do in the audition, Elsa?â he asked with a smile.
Alas, he didnât receive any good news. Instead, he heard her sobbing on the other end of the phone, âWilliam, the judges are so mean,
âDonât Cry
and tell me what happened,â he coaxed with a worried frown. However, after he heard her out, he growled angrily. âThose useless judges! Give me some time. Iâll teach those people a lesson!â
When he pushed open the courtyard door, Genevieve welcomed him with a placaring smile. âWelcome, Mr. Barrett.â William gave her a cold stare, and her hair stood on its ends. So, she gulped anxiously and started saying cautiously, âMr. Barrett, you-

âGenevieve, just do a show properly if youâre going to make one. Hiring a group of idiots to insult others is
no fun!â
Immediately, Genevieve understood what he meant. Something in the audition had angered him, so she hastily asked, âMr. Barrett, did something happen that made you upset?â
Therefore, he told her everything that happened with a stoneâcold demeanor. The moment Genevieve learned about this matter, she felt her face turning stark white from fury as she said, âMr. Barrett, Iâm so sorry. This is all due to my mismanagement and Iâll head over to the scene to set things straight right away. By the way, that candidateâs name is Elsa Limsey, right?â
âYes.â
âMr. Barrett, Iâll be taking my leave now and will be leaving Oakley in your care,â she said with a bow before departing in a hurry.
William immediately caught sight of Oakley and his terror of a mother, Irene, upon entering the living room. Sherika could finally stand after receiving treatment. So, she immediately rose to her feet and greeted him with a smile. âDr. Barrett, this is Oakley, whom youâve met before.â
William didnât even bother sparing a glance at him as he said, âCome on, letâs continue with the treatment.â
Naturally, Oakley noticed that William hadnât forgiven him, so he hurriedly said, âDr. Barrett, it was my fault the last time for being ignorant. Iâm sorry.â
Irene, the middleâaged woman, cleared her throat and said, âDr. Barrett, Iâm sorry for disrespecting you last time. Treat my son and Iâll pay you handsomely once heâs recovered, but letâs be clear that Iâll only pay after youâve cured him.â Although she was well aware that William was capable, this woman still spoke to him in a bossy tone.
However, Oakley knew that she had messed up the situation the instant she spoke in that tone. So, he grumbled in frustration, âMom, what are you talking about?â
William felt his impatience growing as he asked, âOh, really? And what does âhandsomelyâ mean?â
150,000. What do you say?â
âGo ahead and ask Sherika the amount she paid me for her treatment, William replied calmly.
A startled Irene turned to Sherika. âSherika, what is he talking about?â
Sherika grumbled inwardly, Irene doesnât have any people skills at all! âFour million for consultation plus other
stuff.
âThe total amount she paid in consultation fees is no less than seven million. Since you have such a terrible attitude, Iâll charge you double and make it fourteen million, then.â
âWhat? Fourteen million?!â Irene sprang to her feet in shock. Then, she glared at him like an enraged, old hen and snarled. âDream on! Do you have any idea how long my son has to work to make that amount of money?â
âYou can give up the treatment if you donât have the money. Iâm not forcing you to receive treatment,â William retorted composedly.
Irene shook from anger as she pointed at him and stuttered, utterly enraged, âYâYou-
