Chapter 148 Treating His Injury


    ke was surprised upon hearing that. “William, are you saying you can heal my injury?”


    William replied, “Yes. However, it’s been a long time since you were injured, so it’ll be troublesome to treat it.”


    ke felt his chest tightening. “How troublesome <b>is </b>it? Do you need some special herbs?”


    William replied with a smile, “There’s no need for that. You just have to get some rest for several days and take some medicine<b>.”</b>


    Do <i>I </i>only have to rest for a few days? ke was so thrilled that he started trembling. “Can I really recover in a few days, William?”


    William said, “More or less. Let’s not stay here. Come back to the hotel with me.”


    ke <b>was </b>excited. He had experienced too much hardship that no one else could understand because of the pain in his meridians. Now that there was hope for he was understandably overwhelmed.


    Presently, he <b>was </b>grateful toward William and finally understood why his Great Master took him on as a disciple, for William was incredibly talented.


    When they arrived at the hotel, Le let out a sigh of relief. She had been worried about William the entire time, so she was relieved to see hime back safely.


    William told her to get some rest and started treating ke in his room. The treatment was simple. He just had to use acupuncture and his Golden Qi. It would only take him two to three days to heal ke’s damaged meridians.


    He inserted some needles <b>into </b>ke’s acupoints and helped treat the man’s injury using his Qi for 30 minutes before telling him to activate his Qi slowly. This time, ke felt less pain in his meridians, and he was ted.


    Then, William cultivated on his own and let ke recover slowly.


    For the rest of the <b>time</b><b>, </b>he adjusted the moves of five Body Tempering Techniques. There were twelve sets of moves that were in ordance with twelve two<b>–</b><b>hour </b>periods in a day. After practicing all of them, he gained a lot of benefits and had a better understanding of Body Tempering Techniques.


    He understood that as long as he kept on practicing the techniques for a year, he would be able to open up one–third of the quaternary meridians. Moreover, these connected meridians could form a Qi cirction, which would be massively beneficial to his cultivation.


    After cultivating for the entire night, ke felt significantly less pain in his meridians. The pain was bearable for him. In the morning, William treated him with his Golden Qi for 30 minutes again before telling him to continue cultivating.


    Before noon, Daley <b>and </b>Curtis came to visit. Unlike how haughty he was the day before, Daley subserviently apologized to William. They then engaged in some small talk. William had no intention of going against the Howes, so he reconciled with Daley. ke wasn’t there the entire time.


    It wasn’t until the Howes were gone that ke appeared and said with a smile, “Well, Daley knows his <b>ce </b>at the very least.”

    William nodded. “My best friend Dorian was killed by Zachary and his gang. I’m here to avenge his death.”


    ke said. “Mypany has a subsidiary in <b>Jazona</b>. If you need any assistance, just tell me right away?Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    William turned down his help, but he was curious about hispany, so he asked, “Are escort services <b>in </b>demand now? How’s your business doing?”


    ke replied with a smile, “It seems that you know little about escort services, William.”


    Then, he exined to William what his business <b>was </b>all about. Escortpanies these days were different from those in ancient times. Just like today’s pawn shops, they offeredprehensive services.


    In fact, hispany’s full name was Norumbia Security Company, but the people in the martial world called it Norumbia Company.


    Their services were extensive. Other than escorting important people, they could also help protect valuable items or assets. For example, if a cultivator rose to prominence and acquired a piece ofnd but wasn’t powerful enough to protect their territory yet, they could seek their help to strengthen the security.


    Additionally, most of their customers were outside the martial world. They could help banks escort cash, offer security services for private exhibitions or auctions, and so on. Those were profitable businesses.


    Around ten years ago, ke invested in two security servicepanies, and they were worth 70 billion on the stock market now.


    On the other hand, Norumbia Company brought in an annual revenue of 7 billion on paper. This was because some people in the martial world would directly pay the fees to ke<b>, </b>so the money wouldn’t appear in thepany’s ounts.


    All in all, hispany was profitable, but it also came with a lot of risks. A small number of their staff would either be injured or killed every year. They had to risk their lives to earn money.


    Upon hearing ke’s exnation, William gained some knowledge <b>and </b>felt that the escort services were interesting.


    All of a sudden, ke said with <b>a </b><b>smile</b>, “If you’re interested, you can work with me someday if there’s <b>a </b>job.”


    William asked, “How much money do your escorts typically earn?”


    ke replied, “For a Divine <b>Realm </b>Master, their annual sry is 1.4 million. They’ll earn some extra ie for every escort job. Usually, they can earn 4 million to 7 million annually. If they take on <b>high- </b><b>risk jobs</b>, they might even earn 14 million in a single trip.


    William’s <b>eyes </b>brightened. “14 million in a single trip? If there’s such a job in the future, count me in.”


    ke guffawed. “Sure.”


    In the afternoon, William treated ke one more time and told him to go home and rest. He also gave him a prescription slip and told him to prepare the medicine every day. That way, ke would fully recover in two to three days.


    ke bid him farewell and left behind his contact number. He told William to contact him whenever thetter needed help.

    After ke was gone, William followed his n and went to visit the county mayor and the leader of the Criminal Apprehenders in Asopus.


    The county <b>mayor’s </b><b>name </b>was Wade Nash and the leader of the Criminal Apprehenders was Forrest Peters. They were the biggest backers of Zachary. This time, he visited them as a high special investigator.


    When William arrived and revealed his identity, Wade and Forrest became apprehensive and submissive. At any rate, they understood William’s message–Zachary would be destroyed<b>, </b>and the two of them had better behave <b>themselves</b>. Otherwise, they would be dealt with too.


    In the end, Wade and Forrest saw William off while <b>sweating </b>profusely.


    The same afternoon, they formed an investigation team. Wade was the leader and Forrest was the deputy leader. They were ready to look into Zachary and Dumpty’s wrongdoings.


    Since Zachary no longer had any backers, all his wrongdoings were exposed, and various sorts of evidence were soon collected. A report was sent to William’s room before dusk.


    The document showed that Zachary, Dumpty, and Felicia were involved in murder and upying other people’s assets. They had alsomitted crimes such as extortion, ckmail, and kidnapping. The county office was officially investigating them.


    Besides that, <b>Le </b>would inherit Dorian’s equity interest and help look after the vigers‘ shareholdings that had been stolen by Zachary.


    William was generally pleased with the oue, and he told Wade and the others to immediately execute the verdict.


    In the evening, William went to the hospital and appeared before Zachary.


    Presently, Zachary <b>was </b>convulsing with a hideous expression. He had been going through immense pain.


    There was no one else in the ward. Even his family members weren’t willing to stay there because he <b>had </b>been howling all day. They couldn’t take it anymore.


    William patted Zachary, after which thetter calmed down. Although Zachary was in pain, he could still think clearly. He stared at William with a horrified expression and yelled, “What on earth do you want? Why are you torturing me?! Since he had been screaming for a long time, his voice had turned hoarse.


    William said coldly, “Dorian <b>was </b>my best friend, so you have to pay for his <b>death</b>!”


    A despondent Zachary eximed, “Help! Save me!”


    Regardless of how hard he tried, his voice was weak. The people outside the ward couldn’t hear him.


    Deep in misery, he cried, “Please let <b>me </b>off, sir! This ce is like a living hell for me. I killed Dorian. I’ll <b>hand </b>myself over to the police and ept the punishments!”


    He didn’t want to bear the same kind of pain again. That was some inhuman torture. He would rather be convicted than endure the pain again.
