Chapter 46 Brandon Cromwell’s Invitation
The middle–aged man was in his early forties and had a gaunt face. While he wasn’t tall, his eyes glittered brightly. It was Wyatt Richards.
Wyatt laughed before stating. Jonathan, I initially wanted to kill you. I just didn’t expect you to be so resourceful that you got Sheldon Cromwell to settle the matter.”
Jonathan sneered. “Why have you come when you’ve already received his message, then?”
Wyatt’s expression was cruel. “I promised him I wouldn’t kill you, but I said nothing about teaching you a
lesson.”
Jonathan was enraged when he heard that. “Wyatt Richards, do you think I fear you?”
Wyatt supported his chin with a hand and glanced at Edith. Your wife looks so hot I feel like bedding her already.”
Edith’s expression darkened though she remained silent. She had a husband and he could deal with such things.
Jonathan’s eyes glowed murderously. He put a hand on his waist where his pistol was kept.
William got up suddenly, pulling back his chair to sit carelessly in front of Wyatt with a smile. “So, you are Wyatt Richards?”
Wyatt rolled his eyes. “And who are you?”
Before he could finish speaking, William had already placed a hand on his shoulder. Wyatt sneered and was about to use his Qi to shake it off when a Force with unknown strength rushed from his shoulder. The Qi protecting him immediately dissipated after making contact with it, and he couldn’t protect himself against it.
He was extremely shocked but by the time he tried to build up his shield, it was far too late. William’s Qi flowed into the pressure points all over Wyatt’s body and overwhelmed him, making himn turn as white as a sheet and break into a cold sweat. His voice shook as he mumbled, “My friend, I couldn’t recognize superiority when I saw it. Please have mercy on me.”
He couldn’t remain unafraid as it turned out William could destroy all of his abilities just by exuding Qi!
William replied mildly, “I was originally planning to kill you, but Jonathan advised me against it. However, you have come here on a suicide mission!”
Wyatt turned paler upon hearing that. “Had I known Jonathan had an expert like you with him, I would never have dared come!”
William sighed. “I was here for a drink, but you destroyed the mood. What do you think I should do?”
“You can decide that,” Wyatt answered immediately.
Looking satisfied, William stated, “You are someone famous in the Kreim Capital, so I’ll let you go for now. Go to the counter and pay the bill.”
He then let Wyatt go.

Wyatt jumped up and looked at William meaningfully before pressing his hands together gratefully. “I, Wyatt Richards, thank you for not killing mel
He then turned around and left.
Jonathan was astounded to see that. “William, what did you do to him?”
William shrugged. “Nothing. He was being obstinate, so I destroyed his Qi State and abilities right there and then.”
Jonathan shivered from head to toe. He hadn’t realized that William’s abilities were so powerful that the man could easily incapacitate Wyatt, who was one of the four great lords of the Capital.
“William, you are so powerful!” He raised his glass and drained it.
Edith was shocked as well. William had only shown his skills in medicine, and his current display of such technique made her respect and admire him. She toasted him once again.
After lunch, Jonathan and his family brought William and his siblings on a tour of the historic landmarks in the Kreim Capital before going to yet another restaurant.
When night fell, Mia followed Edith home to rest. William had wanted to go see some friends with Jonathan, but Thomas had called from the Thione Dojo and insisted on treating him to supper. William had agreed to it and Jonathan, being a curious person, wanted to follow him there. Thus, William took Jonathan and Jason to the Thione Dojo.
The Thione Dojo was a martial arts school during the daytime but transformed into a restaurant at night. There was a bar right in front of it, where Thomas and several other disciples were already waiting for William. They got up and welcomed him.
“Hey, Mr. Barrett. You’re finally here! We’ve waited for some time. Thomas laughed as he ordered the bartender to bring alcohol and food.
William introduced Jonathan, and Thomas was shocked when he heard the name. “So, you’re Mr. Big! Your reputation precedes you!”
Jonathan laughed. “We’re friends now that we’ve met. I’m just here to get some alcoholl‘
His friendliness livened up the atmosphere. Bottles of beer and wine were served and they all drank to their hearts‘ content.
The infamous Wyatt Richards as well as Brandon Cromwell was mentioned halfway through, which motivated Thomas to speak. According to him, the number of experts of Kreim was highest in the Kriem Capital. Excluding Brandon, Carlton, Zeiss was considered the strongest of them all and it was said that the reason Brandan had set up another place in Justford was to avoid Carlton.
Ranked under Carlton were two others. The first was Cordell Jones, a disciple of the Tribal Summit who had mastered the three stunts of Tribal Summit and was well–versed in physical martial arts. Some thought that his abilities weren’t inferior to Carlton’s, but Cordell was not famous as Carlton because of his practicing physical martial arts,
The second one was Dean Manson of the Wudeng sect, whose abilities had reached the peak of the Qi State. His Pure Righteous Qi could block bullets, and even Carlton had to be somewhat courteous toward him.

Below those three were the Four Lords, and Wyatt Richards was the weakest among them. Two of the other lords were said to have achieved the Qi Emanation level. Of course, there were several other experts of the Qi State ranked below them, but they weren’t as famous since their reputations were suppressed by those of others above them and they had no chance of proving themselves.
Presently, the few men chatted and drank into the night. There were very few people on the streets and the wind felt slightly cool.
William was preparing to return for some rest when an urgent call came. He picked up his phone to see that it was from an unknown number and got up to go to a secluded area. A strong male voice came from the other end. “Mr. Barrett?”
“Speaking. Who are you?” he inquired.
I’m Brandon Cromwell. You cured my father’s illness in the past,” the caller informed him.
William’s heart stuttered. “You’re the third Cromwell son?”
“Aye, it’s me. I called you because my daughter isn’t feeling well. I know a bit about medicine but still can’t discern what the issue is. I’ve gotten some of my friends to cure her but to no avail. I know that you are good at medicine, so can you come to Justford if you have the time?”
William had been planning to go there anyway, so he agreed instantly. “Of course. I’ll go over tomorrow.”
Brandon was delighted to hear that. “Thank you very much, Mr. Barrett. I will send someone to get you when you arrive.”
He hung up as soon as he finished speaking. There was no arrogance in his tone despite him being a Divine Realm Master, and he sounded extremely humble.
I might have to return tomorrow, William thought to himself.
After a night of drinking, Thomas and several others were already intoxicated, and Jonathan was drunk as well. William was the only one who remained sober.
After returning to the Big Residence, William meditated in the compound until the early hours of the morning. He bid farewell to his hosts early in the morning. Since Jonathan was still sleeping, Edith was the one to send the two brothers off.
The Halivaara District was situated between the Kreim Capital and Justford, which were five hundred kilometers apart. They passed Gentrel City during the journey, so William took the opportunity to go home. After all, Walter, Colleen, and several other patients required treatment, not to mention they had to send Mia back for her classes.
It was 10.00AM when they arrived in the Halivaara District. William went to do acupuncture on Walter and changed his medication, then went to perform acupuncture and massage therapy on Colleen for half an hour. When it was time to treat his mother, he found that the number of her tumor cells had been reduced by half and she had a healthier complexion. He then changed her prescription and let her continue her course of medication. He estimated that his mother would be cured in another half a month.
Before he left, he told Jason to send Mia to and from school. Thereafter, he took the high–speed train to Justford. On the train, he called Aidan, who wanted to pick William up when he heard William was coming to Justford. He also told William that there was a very important party and insisted that he attend.
It was 3.00PM when William arrived and true enough, Aidan was waiting at the departure gate. He looked

so much different than before since he was now driving a luxury car worth millions and wearing a branded watch that cost hundreds of thousands. Even his clothes were custom–made,
“William!” He lunged at William at the sight of his friend and hugged him.
“Not bad, ch?” William remarked. “It looks like your status as a rich heir has been restored.”
Aidan laughed at that. “It’s all thanks to your help. Come on, let’s go to my house.”
However, William waved his hand. “I still have something to attend to. Go deal with your other responsibilities first. We can meet up tonight.”
“What is it? Visiting Miss Lloyd?” Aidan asked, to which William corrected him. “No, I’m treating someone.”
Aidan lost interest at once. “Fine, then. I’ll get the chauffeur to drive you. Don’t forget about the gathering tonight. The most beautiful girls from the eight schools will be there.”
Aidan then sent a car to drive William to his destination while he left.
William had already sent word to Brandon and the car drove straight to the old section of Justford, stopping in front of an ordinary–looking house. As soon as he alighted, a young man in his early thirties came out. With just one glance, William immediately knew that this man was an expert in the Qi State.
The man asked quickly, “Is it you, Mr. Barrett?”
William nodded in response. “It is.”
“Come in, sir. My teacher is waiting for you.”
William entered the compound and noticed that it was an ordinary home with a two–story building in front of it. A middle–aged man sat in the living room on the ground floor. He looked to be in his thirties, had a medium build, and didn’t seem to have a commanding aura. However, William knew that this was the Divine Realm Master Brandon Cromwell. The man’s abilities had reached the Divine Realm, yet his. aura was withdrawn and pure, which made him seem like an ordinary person.
Meanwhile, Brandon got up to welcome him. “Mr. Barrett, sorry for troubling you.”
As they shook hands, William could sense the Qi simmering within Brandon’s palm. It would be extremely overwhelming when Brandon attacked his opponent.
Brandon could also sense William’s Qi, which was constantly flickering, hard to discern, and similarly powerful. His eyes lit up. “Mr. Barrett, you’re also an expert in Qi State. How rare that is!”
William murmured, “You flatter me, sir.”
Brandon asked William to sit down while the young man from before served tea. “I invited you here because of my daughter.”
William replied, “Please describe it in detail, Mr. Cromwell.”
Brandon nodded and told William everything. As it turned out, the former had a daughter named Elizabeth Cromwell. Due to his dedication to studying martial arts, he got married and had a daughter only at thirty–five years old, He treated her like the apple of his eye when she was born, and she was definitely the thing that he cared about the most.
