Chapter 83 Shane Crawford
William shook his head and said, “Mr. White, please return to your vat. This secret technique I just shared. with you mustn’t be told to anyone else, including your descendants!”
Gerald hurriedly replied, “Please rest assured! I’ll take this to my grave.”
Only then was William satisfied. “Mr. White, please rest well. I’ll take my leave now.”
Back in his room, he found that Tristan was still there, after which the grinning man greeted him, “Mr. Barrett!”
William cast him a side–eye and asked, “Why are you still here?”
Tristan chuckled and answered, “I wanted to bid you farewell before leaving.”
Brandon, standing nearby, smiled and said, “William, Master Tristan really admires you now and sincerely wants to befriend you.”
“Me?” William sneered. “Are you even qualified?”
Tristan replied earnestly, “Of course, I’m not qualified! However, I’m willing to be your follower. I won’t refuse whatever you ask for!”
William snorted and sat back on the couch. “I bought some stones from you the other day. Send someone to cut them open and see how much they’re worth.” He then tossed the car keys to Tristan.
“Sure. I’ll take care of it.” He became energetic and immediately sent two subordinates to cut open the
stones.
After half an hour, six shattered raw stones were brought into the hotel.
Tristan took a quick look and could not help but jump up and shout, “They’re of such good quality! These few pieces of jade are worth at least 10.5 million! My goodness, you are good at gambling! I remember you only spent a total of 3.15 million to buy these pieces of ore, right?”
“This 10.5 million will be considered as the interest I’ve prepaid to you,” said William.
Tristan laughed. “Mr. Barrett, are you trying to insult me? Why do you need to pay any interest? You can use that money however you want.”
“I have principles when it comes to doing things. When I said I borrowed money from you, I take it seriously. Do you think I won’t pay it back?” asked William.
Tristan quickly said, “No, I don’t mean that. Since you insist on paying the interest, fine. I’ll keep these pieces of jade.”
An annual interest of 525 million was 5.25 million. In other words, William’s raw stones would be enough. to cover two years‘ worth of interest.
Tristan’s eyes gleamed as he said, “Mr. Barrett, you’re good at stone gambling! How about we head to Masnaca together one day?”
William looked at him and asked, “You want to go to Masnaca to buy raw stones?”

Tristan nodded vigorously. “Yes! I’m in the jade business, so I need to buy goods. If you can help me keep an eye out, I can save a lot of money!”
William thought about it and felt that this was a profitable business. He said, “Okay. However, if I help you make money, you must split the profits with me. The initial share will be considered as me paying off the debt”
Tristan slapped his thigh and promised. “No problem! Mr. Barrett, we can leave at any time you’re free!”
William replied, “Let’s wait a bit. I’ll contact you when I have time.”
*Sure, I’ll wait for your message.” Tristan, who was being thick–skinned, chatted for more than half an hour before finally saying goodbye and leaving.
Brandon could not help but laugh. “Tristan is truly adaptable and cunning. No wonder he became the king of Southside.”
William replied, “He isn’t a good person. If it weren’t for the money, I wouldn’t bother with him.”
Brandon chuckled. “No matter what, Tristan is still highly capable. If you can win him over, it’ll be a good thing.”
William said, “Let’s see what happens.” Then, he added, “Brandon, let’s go back tomorrow.” He still had things to do in Justford.
Brandon nodded. “Okay. To Justford.”
When the sun rose the next day, William and his group bearded the plane back to Justford. By the time the White Family and Tristan arrived to see them off, the jet had already taken off.
As soon as they returned to Justford, William first went to the Lloyd Family to discuss some matters while Brandon returned to his house. When they parted, he invited William to come over for a small gathering in the evening, to which William agreed.
Turner was finally relieved to see the two of them return safely. He had sold all the jade and cashed out for 1.55 billion, with a net profit of 1.25 billion.
The two parties split the profits equally, and William received 625.13 million. Together with the 525 million he borrowed and the 390 million Tristan returned, the total amount was 1.5 billion.
He took 1.5 billion and transferred it to Tia’s account, which would be used to invest in the Ivory Dragon Cove project.
With the remaining money, including the consultation fee given by the White Family and the funds he had on hand, he had over 43.5 million. However, in reality, he still owed Tristan 525 million.
That day, Tia and William signed a preliminary contract, which would be officially signed with Kane before the project started. The next step was to buy Ivory Dragon Cove from the Wright Family, and then the real estate project could begin.:
After lunch at the Lloyd Residence, William leisurely went to the hospital to check on Shane’s condition. Before he left, he used a Golden Needle to suppress Shane’s injuries and had Zachary purchase medicinal materials. The Crawford Family spared no effort and had already gathered the materials yesterday. Then, they gave William a call to inform him.

Chapter 83 Shane Crawford
Upon arriving at the ward, William found that Shane’s complexion was even more haggard. Zachary hurriedly approached. “Mr. Barrett, you finally came!”
William replied, “Prepare the medicine.”
“Yes,” Zachary quickly did as instructed. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
He then went to Shane’s side and placed the magic money on his forehead. The magic money had just been blessed at the temple and contained some power. As soon as it touched Shane’s forehead, all the Killing Intent in Shane’s body disappeared.
Suddenly, Shane widened his eyes and coughed several times as he threw out some black phlegm. Then, he became conscious again. He saw William and suddenly smiled. “You must be Mr. William Barrett.”
William looked at him and asked, “Do you know me?”
Shane chuckled. “Half a month ago, I cast divination, and it revealed that I need to come to Justford once and do a dangerous task for someone surnamed Wright to encounter a noble person. Hehe… I didn’t hesitate to put myself in danger because of this, and sure enough, have met you, Mr. Barrett!”
William was surprised because Shane had astonishing skills to accurately predict his arrival. He asked, “Aren’t you afraid of making a mistake and dying in Ivory Dragon Cove?”
Shane replied, I’ve calculated my chances and found that I have an 80% chance of survival.”
William shook his head. “It’s foolish to gamble with your life like that.
Shane said solemnly, “It’s worthwhile to be able to meet you.” He then took the magic money from his forehead and looked at it in amazement. “Magic money? It’s been blessed with power as well.”
William replied, “Yes, it’s magic money. Otherwise, the Killing Intent wouldn’t have dissipated so quickly. By the way, why did you go through so much trouble to find me?”
Shane sighed. “Mr. Barrett, I’ve caused great trouble and need someone with great abilities to help me fix

William was surprised. “You’re a big shot in Howard City. What trouble can you cause?”
Shane smiled bitterly and then explained the whole story.
