Chapter 62 A Pawn to Do Their Dirty Work
As a matter of fact, Scarlet was not filthy at all as she was a Qi State master, and her skin was still crystal clear and free of any dirt. However, she still listened to William’s instructions and went to take a shower.
While she was in the shower, William gave Jonathan a call and instructed him, “Ask the Farrell Family to meet me at the hotel.”
“Buddy, aren’t you going to the Farrell Residence anymore?”
“I’ll feel more relaxed in the place I picked out myself.”
“Okay, I’ll notify them immediately!”
Meanwhile, in the Farrell Residence, Thor let out a scoff after receiving a call. “This William is going too far!”
Other than the Farrell Family, there was also a young man in the living room with them. He was tall and imposing as he sat in the middle with a confident and haughty expression on his face, as relaxed as a king on his throne.
Upon hearing that, he raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong, Thor?”
Thor let out a sigh and explained, “Mr. Zane, the Farrell Family is in a bit. of a pinch. We offended a martial arts expert who claims to be the top youth expert in Kreim, and he doesn’t respect anyone at all. Once, when he was harassing a girl on the streets, Ethan chided him lightly, but not only did he give Ethan a beating, he even killed several of our family’s bodyguards.”
“Not only that, he even wants our family to compensate him 15 million! He also asked Ethan to get down on his knees and apologize to him. Don’t you think he’s just humiliating us?”
“How dare he?” The young man slammed a hand on the table. This man was Zane Jones, the son of the expert fighter of Kreim, Cordell Jones.

“Don’t be afraid. Since I know about this now, I can’t just leave it be! Where is that person? I’m going to meet him!” Zane immediately demanded.
Ethan’s eyes brightened as he said, “Mr. Zane, that person is in the hotel waiting for us to hand them the money.”
Zane sneered. “Well, I’d like to see what this so–called top youth expert in Kreim can do!”
After waiting for over an hour, someone finally knocked on William’s door. He opened the door and saw a crowd standing outside, headed by a towering young man.
The man stared at him coldly and asked, “Are you William Barrett?”
William replied indifferently, “That’s me. Who are you?”
The man who spoke to him was Zane, and he jeered, “You have quite the nerve to run wild in Kreim!”
William’s face darkened. As he expected, the Farrell Family was up to something again!
Immediately, William said in a grave tone, “You’ve wasted your only chance at a reconciliation!”
Zane scoffed. “Reconciliation? You’re thinking too much. I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t care who you are. All of you can scram!”
“How insolent!” Zane crossed the threshold in one large stride and thrust a fist toward William.
With a cold expression, William waved a hand, instantly striking several of Zane’s vital points with his Finger–Flicking technique. As Zane was only a Strength Realm Master, he let out a grunt upon impact before he
collapsed to the ground.

Instantly, Ethan rushed to help him up and shouted, “Are you all right, Mr. Zane?”
Then, he raised his head and glared at William coldly. “Do you know who he is?”
William frowned. “He isn’t from the Farrell Family?”
Ethan chuckled at his answer. “His name is Zane Farrell, the son of the secular master of the Tribal Summit.”
Cordell Farrell, Kreim’s martial arts expert who was only second to Carlton Zeiss? William was shocked by this piece of information and sensed that he had walked into their trap. However, he did not panic and stared at Ethan instead. “How dare you set me up? Do you know what’s the consequence of that?”
Ethan sneered. “The consequence is that you’re done for!”
Just then, a few officers rushed in. After glancing at Zane who had collapsed on the floor, they asked, “Were you the one who beat him up?”
William sneered. The Farrell Family truly was shameless for using the government forces for their own means. He replied indifferently, “It was
me.”
The men immediately handcuffed him and said, “You’re charged with assault. Come with us!”
William instructed Jason and Scarlet behind him, “Scarlet, wait for me. here. Jason, give Jonathan a call.”
Jason hurriedly agreed, “Okay, Boss.”
Scarlet inclined her head slightly as she gently removed her hand that was on the handle of the sword. If it weren’t for William’s orders, she would’ve already made her move.
After William was taken away Zane was carried off as well

As Zane was unable to move his body, he was lifted into a car. Then, a middle–aged man examined his condition before reporting, “He’s seriously injured, and he might’ve lost his martial arts skills.”
Ethan scoffed. “There’ll be a show waiting for us!”
William was shoved into the car and was soon taken to the Kreim Criminal Investigation Department.
A man in leather boots walked over and his gaze swept across William as he demanded, “Were you the one who hit Zane?”
“He attacked me first.”
The man had a beard and seemed to be in his thirties. He grinned at his words and gave William a thumbs up. “Not bad!”
Then, he ordered, “Lock him up.”
William was then locked up in a separate room that was vast, spanning around 1,000 square feet. There was a table but no chairs. Eventually, he decided to sit down on the ground and cultivate his Qi.
Soon, Jonathan received the news and was both shocked and angry when he found out what had happened. After pondering for a moment, he made a phone call to the Criminal Investigation Detachment. As a big shot in Kreim, he had connections everywhere.
The person who answered the phone was the man in boots, and he asked, “Do you have any orders, Mr. Big?”
Jonathan asked with a laugh, “Mr. Carson, I heard that you just captured someone named William Barrett.”
The man’s name was Josiah Carson, the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, and he had known Jonathan for quite some time. He replied, “That we did. He beat Cordell’s son up, and Cordell’s son was badly hurt. Do you think that he’d be able to leave Kreim alive even if I let him go?”

“This is a trap set up by the Farrell Family.”

“It doesn’t matter if it was a trap. What’s important is that Zane is hurt, and the Farrell Family said that he might even be paralyzed.”
Jonathan’s eyes darkened as he asked, “What are they up
to?”
Josiah informed him in a detached tone, “They’ve already notified Cordell, and he should be arriving anytime soon. Whether your friend lives or dies is all up to his luck now.”
Jonathan’s heart stopped for a moment, and he immediately hung up before he drove straight to the Criminal Investigation Department.
At that moment, William opened his eyes as a middle–aged man walked in and closed the door behind him. The man was somewhere around his
fifties and was dressed in old–fashioned clothes as if he were a farmer from the countryside. His hands were covered in calluses while his feet. were wrapped in yellow rain boots, and there was a smoking pipe tied to
his waist. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
After entering the room, he took a seat next to William. Then, he lit a cigarette before saying, “It’s rare for someone to be a Qi Master at your
age.”
“You’re flattering me. Were you sent by the Farrell Family?”
“My name is Cordell Jones,” he said, “The person you hurt is my son, Zane Jones.”
Hearing that, William fell silent. It seemed that this man was here to avenge his son.
After a moment, he said, “I didn’t expect that the great master, Cordell Jones, would look like this.”
Cordell took a puff of his cigarette. “I was farming when I heard about Zane’s accident. He may not be very talented or smart, but he isn’t a bad
person”

The meaning in his words was very clear–since you’ve hurt my son, you’re a bad person.
William asked, “Have you seen his wounds?”
Cordell said coldly, “Of course I have. He’s severely injured.”

William replied indifferently, “It looks severe, but it isn’t. He was only hit by my Hidden Poison, but I can neutralize it.”
Cordell was moved by his words. “Can you neutralize it? Does that mean that Zane’s cultivation won’t go to waste?”
“Of course not,” William said. “The Farrell Family is planning to use me as a pawn to do their dirty work, and they deliberately created a conflict. between your son and me so that they could reap the benefits from it. I sensed that something was amiss back then, so I held back when I made my move and only gave him a fake injury.
Suddenly, Cordell rose to his feet and relinquished. “I beg of you, please treat my son. I’ll be more than grateful if you do!”
“Of course. I don’t want to offend a master like you either. Tell them to bring him over.”
