William was a little surprised as the strength of the Xenon Family was beyond his imagination.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Considering how powerful the Xenon Family is, are you not afraid of offending them if we strike them like this?”
With a smile, Tia said, “The Xenon Family operates an honest business, so they can’t possibly take action against their clients. In fact, the Jade King even needs to secure our safety once we enter Southside. Otherwise, no one would dare to buy jades from them in the future.”
After giving Tia’s words some thought, William figured they made sense. Thus, he smiled and said, “In that case, I won’t conceal my strength and will go all out.”
However, her mind was somewhere else. “William, when will we start discussing the Ivory Dragon Cove’s project?” she asked out of the blue.
“There’s no rush. We will discuss it with Kane once we come back from Southside.”
At once, Tia’s eyes lit up. “Does this mean there is a solution to the issue regarding Ivory Dragon Cove?”
William didn’t deny it. “It’s not a major issue.”
Tia breathed a sigh of relief. “The Wright Family gave up on this project after Shane was injured. They are abour to sell the land.”
“How much does this piece of land cost?” he asked.
“In the beginning, the Wright Family only spent 3 billion Igneus Talons to buy this land. They thought they could profit a lot from the land, yet it turned out that Shane cheated them. Now the Wright Family wants to sell the land for 2.7 billion Igneus Talons, meaning they will suffer a loss of 300 million Igneus Talons. In addition to the loss from the sale of Prosperity Villa, I’d say they sustain a greater loss than that, said Tia.
After that, she even told William that the Wright Family sold all their shares in Prosperity Villa and gained 1.8 billion Igneus Talons before they borrowed another 1.5 billion Igneus Talons. Only then were they able to purchase Ivory Dragon Cove, thinking they could make some big bucks.
However, there was a change of plans–now, the Wright Family had no choice but to sell Ivory Dragon Cove cheaply for survival.
William asked, “1.8 billion Igncus Talons is cheap, right?”
“Of course it is! If it wasn’t because Ivory Dragon Cove faced an issue, it could be sold for at least 4,500 Igneus Talons per square meter. You can’t possibly get your hands on that piece of land if you don’t have 9 billion Igneus Talons, Tia elaborated.
“Have you taken Prosperity Villa? William asked.
Tia nodded. “We invested the funds we had withdrawn from the Prosperity Villa’s project in Ivory Dragon Cove. The entire project will cost about 10 billion Igneus Talons, and we will invest 6 billion Igneus Talons, of which 4.5 billion Igneus Talons will be used as collateral for a mortgage loan.”
“So, we will invest a total of 6 billion Igneus Talons, and as I remember, the earning is 18 billion Igneus

“That’s right. After deducting all the expenses, we can earn at least 10 billion Igneus Talons. That’s a 175% profit, and the period is about three years.”
Feeling that it was a profitable business, William said, “The geomancy is actually good. In due course, we can do some publicity and invite a few celebrities to come over”
Something came across Tia’s mind when William mentioned celebrity, and thus, she said, “By the way. Zachary Crawford, Shane’s son, asked me to invite you ayer to check on Shane.”
This took William by surprise. “Me?”
Tia nodded. “He heard from Kane that you have extraordinary medical skills, so he wants to invite you to check on Shane. If you can cure him, the Crawford Family will be willing to pay you a large sum of the consultation fee.”
William fell silent. After a long while, he said, “Considering the large array of spells that backfired on him, it will be a huge challenge for me to cure him.”
Tia was startled. “William, are you saying that you can actually save him?“.
William nodded. “Yes, of course. It’s just that it’s too troublesome.”
After a pause, he continued, “Tell Zachary I can save Shane, but I will charge 1.5 million Igneus Talons for the consultation fee”
Tia smiled and said, “William, the Crawford Family will not refuse even if you charge them 15 million Igneus Talons.”
“The reason I became a doctor is to save lives. Unethically demanding money isn’t something a doctor should do. I’m charging the Crawford Family 15 million Igneus Talons because curing Shane will consume plenty of my time.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Sticking out her tongue, Tia immediately changed her words. “You’re right. I was simply blabbering. I will let Zachary know later.”
At this moment, William brought up the topic of investment. “Are you sure you want to participate in the investment of Jonathan’s stone gambling project?” he asked.
“Of course! I can even invest more if I make money through stone gambling this time,” confirmed Tia.
William said, “He only needs 450 million Igneus Talons. In addition, I will also invest 75 million Igneus
Talons.”
Tia blinked and suggested, “William, you can invest some money in the Ivory Dragon Cove project too. It is much better than doing financial management.”
He was persuaded by her proposal. “Okay. I will invest all 30% of my shares into the Ivory Dragon Cove project if I gain profit from stone/gambling this time.”
Shortly after, she notified Zachary that William had agreed to cure Shane. Zachary agreed to pay William’s quoted consultation fee without hesitation.
Hence, Tia personally accompanied William to Justford Harmony Hospital, the best hospital in Justford,
At the door of the special VIP ward of Justford Harmony Hospital, a middle–aged man was seen pacing

anxiously. He was none other than Zachary, Shane’s son.
Shane was severely injured and was in a coma, causing Zachary to be heartbroken and worried. After all, Shane was the backbone of the Crawford Family’s income and connections. The Crawford Family might collapse if Shane passed away. Therefore, Zachary was determined to keep Shane alive, no matter what
Unfortunately, none of the renowned doctors Zachary had invited over the past few days could revive Shane. Then, by chance, he learned from Kane that there was a well–known doctor named William Barrett.
Without delay, he asked Tia to invite William to the hospital to cure Shane. Zachary was over the moon when he received a reply from Tia just now saying that William would arrive at the hospital soon.
William finally arrived after more than half an hour.
Seeing him. Zachary immediately greeted, “Dr. Barrett, you’re finally here. My father is inside.”
William nodded. Then, he pushed open the door and saw an elder with a cyanotic complexion lying on the bed. The elder looked extremely weak and was still in a coma.
After checking on Shane, William realized that Shane’s soul had sustained an injury, and his body was also invaded by Killing Intent, which damaged his meridians and internal organs. It’s no wonder that he fell into a
coma.
“Dr. Barrett, can you cure my father?” Zachary asked hurriedly.
“I can cure him. I will prescribe a prescription, and you must find all the medicines written in the prescription within three days. After that, I’ll treat him,” William said.
Zachary was overjoyed. “Excellent! I will certainly go all out and send someone to look for the medicines!”
William asked for a pen and swiftly wrote down some medicinal ingredients, most of which were names Zachary had never heard of.
After he finished writing them down, he handed the paper to Zachary. Then, he took out his Golden Needles and pinned on 72 acupoints all over Shane’s body.
“These Golden Needles can temporarily stop his condition from worsening. Once you have found all the medicines in the prescription, please notify me,” William said concisely.
Zachary nodded and thanked William over and over again.
Afterward, the two bid Zachary farewell and left.
Once they got back in the car, Tia asked, “Are those medicines hard to find?”
William nodded. “It’s pretty difficult and costly too. Zachary will have to spend at least 150 million Igneus Talons to find them all.”
*150 million?!” Tia was taken aback.
“I hope he can find it all. Because if he can’t, then I can’t help him too,” William said.
William contacted Nicole, when he was back at Lloyd Residence. He had thoroughly researched the Finger–Flicking technique, hence he figured it was time he told her.

Nicole was thrilled to receive a call from William. The two agreed to meet at a hotel.
By the time William arrived, Nicole was already waiting for him in the lobby. She immediately waved at William when she saw him.
“When did you come to Justford?” she asked with a smile.
“I just arrived today,” replied William. “Come. Let’s check into a room.”
The reason William wanted to check into a room was actually for the sake of teaching her the Finger- Flicking technique. Nicole, too, understood why they needed to check into a room. Nonetheless, she still inevitably overthought and couldn’t help but feel strange after she heard these words escape William’s lips.
William checked into a suite. After going into the room with Nicole, he said, “I have already figured out the solution to the problem you encountered, but it’s going to be troublesome to teach you.”
“Troublesome?” Nicole was stupefied.
William nodded. ‘Because you have to take off your clothes.
In an instant, Nicole flushed.
