Chapter 63 Starting to Fight Back
Upon arriving at the doorway, Cordell issued an order, and Zane was soon carried inside. Although he was still laying on the floor and unable to budge, he could still move his eyes, which he was using to send a deathly glare toward William. William then walked toward him and reached out to press on his body a few times, and with a loud cry, Zane leaped into the air all of a sudden.
Immediately, he roared angrily, “I’m not letting you off!”
“Silence!” Cordell ordered with an icy expression. “You insolent fool. Mr. Barrett is a Qi State master. Do you think you’d be able to win in a fight with him? You’re only alive because of me!”
Zane was taken aback by his words. Qi State master? As Cordell’s son, he naturally knew what the Qi State meant.
Looking at William, he asked in a stunned voice, “You’ve already entered the Qi State at such a young age?”
Cordell scoffed. “You’re an idiot! Now, tell me what happened.”
Hence, Zane gave him a rundown of the entire story in full. Upon hearing that the Farrell Family accused him of harassing females on the streets, William shook his head. “It’s all lies. Their goal is to anger Mr. Zane so that you would start a fight with me.”
As an old timer, Cordell instantly understood what was going on. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, “All of you, leave.”
Instantly, the room was emptied save for William and Cordell.
He turned to William and said, “Zane just didn’t know better and was. manipulated by them, I hope that you can forgive him.”
“Not a problem. I can tell that you’re a straightforward person, so let’s just put this matter behind us.”

“How did you get into a conflict with the Farrell Family?”
Hence, William explained everything from his father’s death to the Salisbury and Farrell Family’s doings.
Hearing that, Cordell let out a chuckle. “The Farrell Family are just looking to get themselves killed.”
“This matter should’ve ended after Shane’s death. However, since the Farrell Family refuses to let go of it, I can only make my move.”
“As an outsider, I can’t interfere in this matter. However, the water in Kreim runs deep, and although the Farrell Family are a second–class. wealthy family, trying to get rid of them won’t be easy.”
William looked at him. “What do you mean, Cordell?”
“I can be the mediator between both of you. We’ll all sit down and have a talk to clear the air, then we can put everything behind us. What do you
think?”
William shook his head. “I’ve already given them a chance, but they didn’t appreciate it. People like this would still be a menace even if I reconcile with them a hundred times.”
Seeing that he wouldn’t agree, Cordell could only concede, “All right, then. Good luck with that. Oh, by the way, you’re welcome to visit the Jones. Residence in downtown Paceon anytime you’re free.”
Not long after Cordell left, Jonathan arrived along with the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, Josiah. At that moment, Josiah’s eyes, were filled with surprise as he looked at William, and even his tone was a lot more courteous compared to before. To him, a person who was able to emerge unscathed after a fight with Zane was not someone simple.
“Are you all right, brother?” Jonathan asked urgently, covered in sweat from running inside.
William sent him a small smile “I’m fine Let’s on back to yours lon

Josiah hurriedly added. “My apologies, William. I was just doing my job. Can we be friends?”
Seeing that, Jonathan hastily introduced him, “Brother, this is the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, Josiah Carson. He’s a good guy.”
William nodded. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Carson.”
Josiah let out a hearty laugh. “William, you’re a close friend of Jonathan’s, so you aren’t a stranger to me. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to me. I won’t turn you down as long as it’s within my abilities to help you.”
After leaving the Criminal Investigation Department, Jonathan received a call from the Farrell Family. However, he didn’t pick up and instead hung up on them with a sneer. “The Farrell Family must have gone insane. We gave them a chance, but they chose to dig their own graves!”
He was boiling with fury. Jonathan was considered a prominent figure in Kreim, and the Farrell Family’s actions clearly showed their disregard for him.
William remained silent throughout the entire car ride, and it was only after they arrived at Jonathan’s abode that he asked, “Did you get the herb‘ sample I told you to get?”
Jonathan sniggered. “I got it.”
Then, with a wave of his hand, one of his subordinates placed a box down on the table. Once he opened the box, there were a few vials of medicine inside that seemed to be samples taken directly from experimental labs as they were not designated for production yet.
William picked up one of the vials and took a whiff, closing his eyes. Half a minute later, he said, “These are just ordinary herbs. Only one of them is slightly rarer.”
Jonathan’s eyes widened. “You can tell from the smell?”

“If I can’t do this much, how can I teach the Farrell Family a lesson? They’re raising funds however they can to make their prescription, right? In that case, I’ll take them for a ride!”
Jonathan’s eyes gleamed with admiration. “Just tell me what you want to do, and I’ll do what you say!”
“Send your men to buy some herbs so that I can make the prescription on the spot. Also, get someone to send some equipment over–a centrifuge, a pulverizer, and some beakers and test tubes.”
Then, after giving it some thought, William added, “If they haven’t applied for a patent yet, you can apply for it yourself.”
Jonathan said, “The patent application process for drugs is quite lengthy and requires experiments to be conducted, so we can’t obtain it in a short amount of time.”
“It’s fine, just go ahead. Also, send people to purchase as much of this herb as they can in the country. It can be stored for long periods of time after it’s dried.”
“What herb is it, buddy?”
William scribbled the name of the herb on a piece of paper. The herb was called dendrobium officinale, and it could be made into an extract.
“This herb is only grown in a few states with an annual production of only 20 to 30 thousand tons, and it’s sold at around 12 Igneus Talons per pound. You should prepare the funds as soon as possible to purchase a large amount of it.”
After calculating the numbers in his head, Jonathan gasped in astonishment, “This stuff is quite valuable. If we have 30 thousand tonnes of it, won’t we have 750 million in our hands?”
“Dendrobium extract is used in many prescriptions throughout the country. As long as you can purchase about 40% of the total production. volume, its price will soar.”

Jonathan nodded. “All right. In that case, I’ll prepare 750 million to purchase a batch of herbs and start building a factory at the same time.”
“You can sign a contract with the herb farmers so that they’ll sell all of their herbs at market price to you from now on. As far as I know, dendrobium officinale is only grown in two or three concentrated regions, so it won’t be difficult to work with.”
Jonathan scratched his head and said, “Are you sure about this?” After all, he was about to invest all of his fortune, so he had to be certain.
William patted his shoulders. “Don’t worry. In my experience, this prescription has a definite effect, and I’ll improve its recipe to increase its effects by ten times.”
Ten times? Jonathan inhaled sharply before he agreed immediately, “Okay, I’ll get to it right now!”
After acquiring the herbs, William used a centrifuge and a pulverizer to extract the active ingredients and made some improvements based on hist own ideas. At three in the afternoon, he successfully produced the first vial of medicine after which he took a sip, then closed his eyes, to feel its effects. The medicinal effects spread throughout his body and he quickly. understood which channels they had flowed through.
“Not bad. This medicine has great benefits for the heart and brain. It can reduce blood lipids, improve blood circulation, and lower the risk of stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, and even heart disease,” he exclaimed. happily. “It will definitely benefit humankind. You can start the production. without any worries.”
Feeling both excited and nervous, Jonathan asked, “Brother, my cash flow is quite tight, what with me buying herbs and starting a pharmaceutical factory at the same time.”
At the moment, the most he could take out was 750 million. Any larger amount was impossible unless he sold his land and properties.
William pondered for a moment before he suggested. “How about this? I’ll

Jonathan’s eyes brightened. “Sure. Who is it?”
“I’m not sure yet. I’ll have to ask around.”

Right then and there, he phoned Tia and asked as soon as she picked up, “I have a deal that’ll make you some money. Do you want it?”
Tia laughed at his words. “William, what deal is it? How long is the return period, and how much capital are they asking for?”
“They are asking for about 300 to 450 million, with a return period of about one year. You can choose to retain the shares or opt for interest instead, which would be at a rate of 20 percent.”
As a matter of fact, a return rate of 20 percent was quite high. After a brief moment of consideration, Tia said, “Since you invited me to invest, it definitely won’t go wrong. I’ll put in 450 million to buy the shares.”
“Okay. I’ll go to Justford tomorrow to talk about this in more detail.”
After Tia agreed, she asked, “William, do you still remember Ivory Dragon Cove?”
“Has it been resolved?”
Tia laughed and said, “It’s just as you expected. Shane has been crippled, and I heard that he was throwing up blood and is in the ICU right now. He might not get out of this alive.”
William sneered. “That’s all because he didn’t know his place.”
“William, Kane and I have taken over Prosperity Villa. The sales are exploding, and I’m estimating that we can already get our capital back in just two months.”
William nodded. “That’s great.”

After hanging up, he asked Jonathan, “Is 450 million enough?”
Jonathan nodded profusely. “Yes!”
“The investor is a friend of mine from the Lloyd Family in Justford. How many shares will you be giving to her?“.
Jonathan chuckled. “If she’s a friend of my buddy’s, I can’t let her lose out, of course. I’ll give her 30 percent! On top of that, I’ll give you 10 percent!”
William let out a laugh. “I can’t take these shares just like that. Once I get. that 75 million from Zane, I’ll transfer it to your account.”
Jonathan chuckled and said, “If you invest 75 million, I’ll give 10 more percent to you. In total, you’ll have a 20 percent stake while I have 50 percent.”
William had no objections and felt that Jonathan was quite a good businessman. He replied, “Okay. I guarantee you’ll get your capital back within a year.”
Then, he jotted down the recipe and the instructions to make the medicine before handing it to Jonathan for safekeeping.
Later that night, Jonathan invited William for dinner and sent someone to bring Scarlet and Jason over as well.
Upon seeing Scarlet’s stunning beauty, Jonathan was immediately awestruck, and he hurriedly asked, “My man, who is this girl?”
Before William could answer, Scarlet piped up, “I’m his younger sister.”
Jonathan asked with a chuckle, “You have two sisters?”
William glanced at Scarlet, but he did not explain further. Instead, he said, “Her name is Scarlet Lashway.”
Scarlet didn’t pay much attention to Jonathan and focused on her meal

After she had her fill, Scarlet asked, “Why were you taken away by people?”
Are you only thinking about this now? William thought to himself as he replied, “It’s fine now. As for you, what are you planning to do from now on?”
Scarlet wiped her mouth. “Wherever you go, I’ll follow.”
William looked at her, and then he said, “Show me how you practice your
sword.”
He had wanted to witness her sword skills since the beginning, and it was only now that he had his chance.
Scarlet rose to her feet, her charming eyes sweeping past Jonathan and Jason. “Sure. Can you ask them to leave?”
Jonathan hurriedly stood up and said, “All right, we’ll stay out of the w
way.”
Then, he dragged Jason back to their rooms. After all,‘Scarlet was William’s younger sister, so he had to treat her respectfully.
In the small courtyard, Scarlet unsheathed her sword. Instantly, her aura shifted, and strong Murderous Energy filled their surroundings, enough to send chills down a person’s spine.
