A Mortalâs Medicinal Elixirs
Chapter 112 Divination
Although William had inherited means of divination, his focus had always been on medicine and martial arts. Therefore, he explored the rest of the means briefly without delving deeply into them.
He replied casually, âI have some knowledge in that area, enough to see through that personâs tricks.â
Theodore pondered before saying, âWhen that wise master departed, he mentioned that he would send someone in the future, and I must obey that personâs commands without question, or else I will face a calamityâ
William asked, âSo, the person that the wise master spoke of has already appeared, and Keith was the one who told you about it?â
Theodore nodded. âKeith showed me a string of prayer beads that belonged to that master. He also told me that the master had sent a proxy to take over the Lloyd Familyâs assets.â
âDo you believe him?â asked William.
Theodore sighed. To tell you the truth. Iâm skeptical about this.â
William shook his head. âThis is a conspiracy. If you believe him, youâre giving away your wealth.â
Theodore replied, âBut he is my son.â
âAre you sure?â William suddenly asked.
Theodore was shocked and looked at him in surprise. âWhat did you say?â
William said, âWhat Iâm saying is, Keith is not your biological son!â
âThatâs impossible!â Theodore replied firmly. âIf he isnât, then whose son could he be?â
Manâs dignity was often at stake when it came to believing such things.
William sighed lightly. âThe distribution of the bodyâs meridians is often passed down from father to son. Normally, a father and son would have at least 60 to 70 percent similarity in the distribution of their meridians. However, your meridians and Keithâs arenât even one percent similar, so itâs unlikely you have at blood relationship.â
Theodore murmured, âThatâs impossible. He has looked just like me since he was a child.â
âItâs not impossible for someone to look like another person, for instance, through plastic surgery. Have you ever noticed if Keith underwent any significant changes in his appearance during a particular period?â
Stunned, Theodore pondered before his expression changed. âHe went to study abroad at thirteen years. old, and I noticed that he had changed a lot when he returned. Is it possible that he had plastic surgery
then?â
âCorrect!â William continued, âAs a medical professional, I can tell you that his face has been surgically altered in at least a dozen places, including his cheekbones, chin, eyes, and nose. Why would a man, especially one as wealthy as lim, need so many plastic surgeries? If he did undergo such a procedure. there must be some other motive behind it.â

moment, he appeared to have a realization and suddenly looked up to ask, âMr. Barrett, do you think that child is related to that person?â
William responded indifferently, Tim not sure. However, even if Keith isnât related to that person, he must be close. If you transfer Lloyd Corporationâs ownership to Keith, it will eventually end up in the hands of that person.â
At this point, Theodore was at least 70 percent convinced Anger flickered in his eyes as he exclaimed. What a devious scheme!â
William looked at Theodore. âTheyâve been taking advantage of you from the very beginning. Knowing that you are destined for great wealth and success, they sent people to get close to you and make you believe that everything you have is thanks to them. They instilled fear and awe in your heart until you were willing to give them everything. Think about it. Why did they choose.to make their move at this particular moment?â he questioned.
Theodore narrowed his eyes. âThey made their move now because they knew I was seriously ill and might die soon. Once I was gone. I wouldnât be of any use to them anymore. But they didnât anticipate that you would save me.â
âThatâs right.â William nodded. âAnd think about why Keith wanted to transfer your assets to the Jenkinses before.â
âThe Jenkinses?â Theodoreâs heart sank. âDoes that mean the family is also under their control?â
William replied, âI donât know much about the Jenkins Family, but all the evidence suggests they must be involved in this matter.â
Theodore fell into deep thought and said, âAfter that person left, I met Ruby. I was an unknown nobody while she was the young lady of the Jenkins Family. The Jenkinses were already worth millions and had a significant presence in both legal and illegal circles. Now that I look back, I couldnât have achieved success so quickly without their help.
William agreed. âIndeed, with the Jenkins Familyâs vast financial resources and your luck, how could you not have become wealthy and powerful?â
Theodore laughed bitterly. âBut who couldâve orchestrated such a grand conspiracy? Who are they? Thatâs sixty yearsâ worth of planning. Who couldâve possibly had the patience to see it through?â
William replied, âYouâre wrong. They can control not only the Lloyds and Jenkinses but also other affluent families.â
Theodore suddenly felt a strong sense of fear and muttered, âEven if I understand all of this, can I possibly
resist them?â
William remained silent before responding. âI donât know. Itâs hard to imagine just how powerful this force can be. Keith threatened me earlier, saying he knew someone from an ancient martial arts family. Perhaps this individual is connected to the same force weâre up against.â
Theodoreâs expression suddenly aged. âSo, does this mean have no choice but to submit to them?â
William suddenly laughed. âDid you forget? I can also make divination!TM
Startled, Theodore looked at him. âAre you saying you can read my fortune?â

William smiled and retrieved five Emperorâs magic money from his pocket, turning them over in his hands. He recited a few words before tossing them onto the table. The five coins scattered randomly, and he opened his third eye to see the pattern that had faintly formed on top of the coins.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before suddenly saying, âYou can live to be 103 years old!â
Theodore was a bit surprised. I can live that long?â
William chuckled as he said, âSo, donât worry about these people. As long as youâre alive, the Lloyd Family will remain under your control.â
Theodore was worried. âBut what if they come after me?â
âThey wonât!â William was certain. âAccording to the hexagram, you will live to be 103 years old and lead a peaceful and worryâfree life until then. If they were to target you, the hexagram would not indicate such a future.
