The six people stopped what they were doing, and the person who started the fighta long–haired young man in his late twenties with slanted eyes sneered, “Kiddo, mind your own business!”
William scoffed in response, “The criminal investigation team is nearby. Do you want me to call them over?”
The others were shocked at his words, as it was the norm that criminals were naturally afraid of the authorities. So, they did not want to cause a commotion that would attract the officers over. However, they did not believe William’s words. Therefore, the long–haired young man lit a cigarette and sauntered toward him slowly.
William did not want to start a fight, nor did he want to be involved in one, so he called Bradley. Bradley was indeed working nearby, and his people had not left the scene yet. Thus, he immediately brought over a dozen people when he heard that William was in trouble.
The few lackeys were surprised to see William actually dialing for what they assumed was the authorities. The long–haired young man sneered as he taunted, “So what? I’m not the least bit frightened that you know someone from the criminal investigation team at all because my buddy is the deputy captain of the Martial Patrol Brigade. He’ll come if I call him too.” He even faked a call as he spoke.
William ignored the man as he went over to help Micah up and looked the poor man over. It seemed that Micah had two broken ribs and a fractured pinky finger, William immediately announced, Three fractures constitute minor injuries. There were six of you in the fight, so all of you are likely to be sentenced to two or three years in prison” William had been in prison before, so he was very familiar with things like this and made a relatively accurate judgment right there and then.
The group of lackeys felt that luck wouldn’t be on their side if they didn’t chase him away. So, one of them. immediately shouted, “F*ck off, it’s none of your business!”
Slap.
In a blink of an eye, William knocked one of them to the ground with just a powerful slap. His attack was forceful but not enough to cause injury, and the rest were surprised at his speed.
Micah quickly held William back and advised, “William, don’t use violence!” He knew that William had just been released from prison and did not want him to get into trouble again.
The lackeys dared not approach William, nor were they willing to leave the scene. Fortunately, Bradley arrived shortly afterward. He asked William a few questions and immediately instructed, “Take them into custody!”
“How dare you?!” The long–haired man’s eyes narrowed. “My buddy is the deputy captain of the Martial Patrol Brigade. Don’t you dare detain me.”
The Patrol Brigade was a semi–military and semi–police unit that specialized in dealing with powerful bandits, terrorists, and emergencies. Indeed, the deputy captain held a considerable amount of power, so Bradley hesitated for a moment Nonetheless, the evidence was clear. These six people had caused minor injuries to the victim, which constituted a criminal offense, so he had the authority to arrest them.
He snorted derisively, “Well, even the chief of the Brigade won’t be able to save you. You’ve violated the law. Cuff ‘em!” A bunch of officers rushed forward and handcuffed all six men.
Bradley chuckled and turned in William “Mr Barmunu’re a hrave and responsible citizen You’ve

helped us once more.”
William replied demurely, “It’s my duty as a citizen. By the way, this is the restaurant owner. He suffered three fractures from the attack, and I can be a witness.”
Bradley nodded resolutely, “Don’t worry, they will be punished for their crimes.”
After that, the police took the six people away, and the restaurant owner was also required to take a medical examination. Micah was so grateful for William’s help that he specifically called the front desk attendant not to accept William’s money and even gave him two bottles of his treasured white wine as a gift.
The six delinquents grumbled as they were forced into the police car, and William only returned to his private room after he was certain they were gone. As soon as he returned, he saw that Elsa had gotten utterly wasted as she sobbed into Colleen’s shoulder, slurring, “Mom, you’ll be fine. Mr. William will definitely cure you.”
Colleen sighed softly, “Elsa, don’t be sad. Everyone will die someday. I’m not afraid of death.”
William quickly interjected when he heard her words, “Mrs. Limsey, let’s not jump to such extremes just yet. I can cure you.”
Elsa was definitely drunk as she hugged William’s arm out of the blue and mumbled, “Mr. William, you’re a good person. I will forever remember your kindness, and I will definitely repay you.”

She began rambling and talking about her past. She used to have a talent for music and was accepted into Bernard Music School with the highest score in the province. Bernard Music School was one of the top three music academies in the country, with excellent job prospects and opportunities for their graduates. Unfortunately, she lost her job due to the harassment she experienced from her boss. Eventually, after she considered her situation, she dropped out of school after only a month and decided to get a job due to her poor financial circumstances.
She was filled with regret as she genuinely thought that music school was where she was supposed to be. Alas, fate had played a cruel trick on her and left her with no choice but to pursue her dreams.
“Mr. William, I will work hard and earn money to help my mother live a better life,” she said earnestly.

William did not answer her immediately as he fumbled around with the bag that he had brought with him. Then, he opened a bottle of white wine gifted by Micah and poured himself a glass. “Well, one should maintain some hope in life. Elsa, have you ever thought of going back to school?”
Elsa nodded. “I have, but first, I’need the money to pay for my school fees.”
Then, he replied with a slight smile, I can cure your mother’s illness. In addition, I can pay your fees. However, you have to sign a contract with me.”

She was startled out of her drunken state when she heard that, and she answered warily, “What kind of contract?”
“Well, I’m also an idealistic person. I want to establish a talent agency, be the boss of this agency and train a group of beautiful female artists. You will be the first artist I sign a contract with, and I will spend money to train you and pay you a basic salary each month.”
She could not believe her ears and was utterly stupefied. Nonetheless, she felt that something was off about signing a contract, but she was quite drunk at that pint and could not pinpoint what was fishy about this

whole situation. Hence, when William asked her, she nodded without a shred of hesitation, “Do you want to sign the contract?”
“Whatever you say, Mr. William. I trust you.”
“Great. Let’s draft an agreement now.”
Finally, he asked the waiter to bring paper and a pen and casually wrote some simple terms. Obviously, the agreement was merely an excuse for him to help Elsa, just like how he asked Gwendolyn to be his girlfriend back then.
However, Colleen was not drunk and clearly understood what he was trying to do. So, she let out a sigh but did not expose him as she watched Elsa signing the ‘contract.
William then kept the ‘contract‘ away and said, “Elsa, now that you have a basic salary of 10,000 per month, you should use this money to study. Since she was not in the right frame of mind, she merely giggled and garbled, “I will not disappoint you, Mr. William. I will try my best.” Frankly, she would agree to whatever William said at this point. He could say that the sky was green, and she’d clap her hands in
support.
After the meal, he sent Colleen and her daughter back to their hotel and started treating Colleen. The treatment itself was not difficult, especially after using the hundred–year–old ginseng. It was just a matter of time before it took effect. Unfortunately, the treatment process was a bit troublesome, as she had to take off her top.
During the procedure, William also needed to use his Qi to ensure that the medicinal tonic that was absorbed through the skin, which required skin–to–skin contact. This was why he hesitated before, as it was far from convenient.
Nonetheless, as a physician, he would face all kinds of people and situations in the future, so he ultimately decided to treat Colleen. He asked Elsa to assist him and started brewing the medicine while administering the acupuncture treatment to Colleen.
At over forty years old, her figure was still well–maintained, and her skin was smooth and tender. I suppose her daughter’s skin would only be even better, he thought idly.
He began using the acupuncture technique, the Five Elements Needle, which could strengthen her health and promote kidney recovery on Colleen, which would enable the nearly defunct kidney cells to regain
their function.
Finally, he asked her to drink the tonic after using a dozen golden needles on her. At the same time, he grabbed a handful of boiling hot medicine and started smearing them against her kidney area with his Qi. The medicinal power of the juice finally reached her kidneys with the help of his Qi, causing her to feel a warm sensation throughout her body that was extremely comfortable.
Yet, a few minutes later, she felt warmness arising from her lower abdomen, and her body had a reaction. Her face turned crimson as she was embarrassed by her response. Elsa saw her mother’s flushed face and labored breathing and asked worriedly, “Mom, are you feeling unwell?”
William knew what was going on with Colleen and comforted her in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, it’s just the
effect of the medicine.”
Sure enough, half an hour later, the warmness gradually disappeared, and Colleen finally calmed down. She closed her eyes and remained motionless. The entire treatment lasted for more than two hours. By the time they were done, William was covered in sweat and very exhausted. This procedure clearly.

After Colleen’s treatment, she felt extremely comfortable but also very sleepy. William laid her down to rest on the spot and instructed her daughter to take care of her. “Tll take my leave now.”
Elsa quickly said, “Mr. William, I know you’re tired. Why don’t you stay for a while before leaving?” But he waved his hand in refusal. “I have something else to do. Remember to let Colleen drink some water when she wakes up.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Thus, he left the hotel and went to Jose’s place after instructing Elsa on how to care for her mother. Once he arrived, he saw Jason and handed him a card. Jason was Jose’s follower and also his student, who was a skilled marksman.
“Jason, there’s three million in the card. I need you to buy two cars for me, one for business and the other for daily use. It’s up to you what car to buy. The cars will be registered in your name,” William ordered.
Jason did not question his command as he swiftly took the card and replied succinctly, “Okay, boss”
When that was dealt with, he went to check Jose’s injuries, which had already healed. He nodded his head in satisfaction as he determined that Jose would recover in a few days. Regardless, Jose noticed William’s fatigue and asked curiously. “Were you in a fight?”
William shook his head and replied wearily, “I was just treating someone. It was physically exhausting.”
Jose’s eyes lit up upon hearing his reply. “Wow, so you know medicine too. They say that practitioners are also doctors, but why don’t I know anything?”
William snorted in amusement as he teased, “It’s not easy being a doctor. You need to know how many meridians there are in the human body, where each meridian leads to, and which area it affects. You also have to remember countless medical cases and read countless works by other doctors.”
Jose laughed sheepishly. “That is indeed difficult. Oh, by the way, when can you help me with my cultivation problem? I have nothing to do all day, and I’d rather improve my cultivation.”
This was also William’s intention, so he immediately instructed Jose to meditate and cultivate while he observed. After a while, William used a needle to prick a certain acupoint on Jose’s body, infusing the needle with Qi as he reminded him, “Your Qi is flowing in the wrong direction. It should go through this point.”
Jose was secretly amazed by William’s skill. Although he did not understand how William could tell that his Qi was not flowing to where it should be, he still obediently followed William’s advice and changed his Qi flow
William successfully redirected Jose’s Qi flow with the golden needle. Jose could feel his breathing becoming far smoother than before after cultivating his Qi under William’s guidance. It no longer felt uncomfortable to cultivate, which was a vast improvement from before.
William had him practice cultivating his Qi for another two times in order to familiarize himself with the new Qi flow before saying, “Perfect. Continue to cultivate this way.”
Jose was extremely grateful but did not have time to say thank you as he was focused on his cultivation.
