A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 65 The Importance of Breathing Techniques In truth, William had perfected advanced breathing techniques. However, he couldn't easily show it to others as it was a valuable skill. Therefore, he could only comfort Brandon at this moment, “Brandon, perhaps you can achieve a more powerful breathing technique in the future." Brandon smiled. "I hope so. By the way, Matthew has something that he needs your help with later." "Me?" William asked, feeling confused. "I have no special ability. Why would Matthew askfor help?" Patting him on the shoulder, Brandon said, “Your medical skills are your greatest ability. Matthew is shy, so I will ask on his behalf first. An elder in Julium, who goes by the nof Simeon Huber, is critically ill. According to his doctor, he will not live for more than a month. However, he is highly influential, and he used to be the pillar of the empire who protected many people. Therefore, Matthew would like to take you there and check on him. It would be best if you could cure him, but it's fine too if you can't." "Sure thing. Matthew's problem is your problem tool, so I ought to help," Matthew agreed.

Brandon's face beamed with happiness after he heard William was willing to help. "Excellent! You're a true friend indeed." When the two returned to the main hall, William found Matthew and Cooper having a great time. Cooper was no longer nervous, and they were currently discussing Gentrel City's development.

As soon as Brandon stepped into the hall, he said excitedly, "Matthew, William agreed to see Mr. Huber." Matthew immediately said, "Thank you very much, William! Mr. Huber will cto kreim for a short stay next week. This is his hometown. I'll be 1/6 23:51 Mon, 10 Jun Chapter 65 The Importance of Breathing Techniques visiting him, so you can tag along on that day." William nodded. “Just letknow by then." Matthew nodded and said, "I heard Cooper will be transferred to the government office with fewer tasks. If that is the case, those in the human resources department are incompetent. They don't know their subordinates well enough to assign them jobs commensurate with their abilities. I will hold another meeting later and discuss Cooper's work arrangement again. The deputy mayor position in Kreim is still vacant at the tbeing. As I see it, Cooper is competent and can shoulder an appropriate amount of burden." At this point, it was clear to everyone present that Matthew intended to save the position of Kreim's deputy mayor for Cooper and directly. promote Cooper by half a rank from the department level to the sub- provincial level.

Meanwhile, Cooper was both surprised and delighted and said quickly, "Deputy Governor Cromwell, I will certainly do my best and not disappoint you!" William, too, was surprised, for he knew very well that the mayor of Kreim was a prodigious post. Matthew needs to put in plenty of effort if he wants Cooper to take on this post.

After exchanging a few words, the Cromwell Family wanted William and Cooper to stick around for dinner. Of course, William couldn't stay as het had to go to Justford. Therefore, he had no choice but to take his leave first. He left, but Cooper stayed. Obviously, Matthew still wanted to give Cooper face-to-face instructions.

William left Kreim, and with Jason as their driver, he and Scarlet made. their way to Justford.

They would first meet Tia in Justford before continuing their journey to Southside. At the stime. he also wanted to discuss the investment in 2/6 21% Chapter 65 The Importance of Breathing Techniques Jonathan's stone gambling project in detail.

The distance between Kreim and Justford was about 320 miles. It would take them five hours to reach Justford, which was a long drive..

Out of boredom, William started asking about Scarlet's upbringing.

Scarlet's memory before the age of five was rather vague. She told William she once had a family, and she often dreamed of her parents.

Scarlet's master was a woman. Based on Scarlet's description, she was in her forties and had a beautiful appearance. Scarlet was raised by her master, who taught her martial arts.

Along the journey, William had a deeper understanding of Scarlet's life. He learned that she was a child who grew up in hardships. She has been an orphan ever since she was a child and was raised by her master. Moreover, she went through the most arduous training throughout childhood and mastered the extremely petrifying Electric Sword Attack.

The Electric Sword Attack is one of the Wudeng sect's most unique skills. According to Scarlet's master, Scarlet is the second person to master this skill in a hundred years.

At the stime, Scarlet, too, knew a little more about William's life. She began to call him Willy as she pleased and regarded herself more and more like his real sister.

It was already 3.00 PM when they arrived in Justford.

The car drove into a large courtyard with a vintage building. This was. where Tia and her family lived. It was William's first there.

Turner and Tia cto greet them at the front gate. With a smile, Turner said, "William, you're finally here. I've been wanting to meet you." "Mr. Lloyd, sorry for keeping you waiting." William put on an apologetic smile.

3/6 Chapter 65 The Importance of Breathing Techniques Seeing that a girl stepped out of the car, Tia glanced at her and asked, "Who is this young lady?" William introduced Scarlet. "This is Scarlet, my younger sister." With a smile, Tia said, "So you have two younger sisters." After that, they invited William into the courtyard. Once they entered, Scarlet sat quietly on one side and studied her surroundings curiously.

Seeing that she was beautiful and adorable, Tia approached her and proposed, "Scarlet, I have many beautiful outfits, and I know you will certainly look beautiful in them. Do you want to cwithand pick some?" Since Scarlet was naive, her eyes instantly lit up when she heard that there were beautiful outfits. "Okay! Thank you." Tia smiled and introduced herself. "I'm Tia Lloyd. You can callTia." Scarlet nodded and followed Tia to her room. It was a spacious single- bedroom with rows of wardrobes filled with all kinds of clothes, most of which were never worn by Tia.

Tia asked Scarlet to choose whichever outfit she liked before she headed out to meet William again.

With a solemn demeanor, Tia stated, "We will take the flight to Southside tomorrow morning. The journey will take about two hours." William knew a thing or two about Turner being set up by others, so he asked, "Mr. Lloyd, how much money did you lose?" Looking embarrassed, Turner answered, "I invested 150 million Igneus. Talons and lost about 115 to 130 million Igneus Talons." "It's 132 million Igneus Talons," added Tia.

William widened hic eves in shock I've noner heard of someone Incing 130 23:51 Mon, 10 Jun Chapter 65 The Importance of Breathing Techniques million Igneus Talons out of 150 million Igneus Talons! Still in shock, he asked again, "Are you planning to earn back what you lost with this trip?" Tia nodded, indicating that he was right. “This was undoubtedly a trap set. up by the Jade King. I can't just let it go. Moreover, I want to invest in at batch of jades as well. That's why I'm bringing 300 million Igneus Talons. this time." Turner added, "The Jade King has always monopolized premium jades. Likewise, he wants to break new ground this tand stock a batch of premium jades."

"The money we are going to use this tis our funds, and I will share 30% of the profits earned with you" said Tia, causing William's heart to skip a beat. Does this mean I would gain 45 million Igneus Talons if we earned 150 million Igneus Talons worth of profit? He swiftly said, "I shall take it then." Turner burst into laughter. "William, I know what you're capable of. We will certainly succeed this time." On the contrary, Tia calmly reminded him, "Dad, we want to play safe this time. We'd rather not make a profit than suffer a loss. Besides, I heard the Jade King has a lot of industrial know-how, so we must not be fooled." Since William didn't know much about Tristan, he inquired about the situation. Tia told him Tristan had a strong relationship with the armed. militants in Masnaca. That was why he could obtain the finest raw stone.

The title of Jade King had been passed down for three generations in his family. Tristan, the current head of the Xenon FamilyXdominated. N Southside. The jades owned by the Xenon Family were worth more than 15 billion Igneus Talons. This was not including a large amount of real estate and mines invested by the Xenon Family. It was conservatively estimated that the Xenon Family'sworth 5/6 Chapter 65 The Importance of Breathing Techniques exceeded 30 billion Igneus Talons, which made them the wealthiest family. in Southside.

Moreover, the Xenon Family had raised a group of martial arts experts. They had their ways with both the police and the triads and were also involved in sshady industries. For example, they monopolized Lastmoor's underground casino and bank.

The fact that the Xenon Family could stand until today was first because of their close relationship with M. Secondly they were highly tied with the local government in their interests. When the local government wanted to borrow money, the first party that cto mind wasn't the bank but the Xenon Family. In fact, one-third of the highways in the Southside were built by the Xenon Family. For that reason, the Xenon Family had the right over the operation of these highways for 30 years. They earned over 1.5 billion annually from highway operations alone.

Therefore, Tristan had another title-Mr. Half of Southside, which, implied half of Southside belonged to the Xenon Family.
