Chapter 17 The End of Wrights Family’s Case

William told everyone to back off before opening the jar lid. The repulsive smell touched the tip of his nose, forcing him to hold his breath and pour the dog’s blood into it; the body was then soaked in the black liquid. Next, he closed the lid and pasted a newly written talisman on it. The remaining jars were dug out and handled in the same manner. Lastly, they were moved to the mountain base in a car altogether,

By the time they dug out the jars, night had painted the sky dark. William asked the workers to dig a thirty–foot–deep pit in a secluded area to bury the jars. Once they filled up the pit, it was already 8.00PM, and the workers were all in. Anjur bought them off with three hundred bucks per person to prevent their deeds from reaching outsiders‘ ears.

After the workers left. William piped up. “This place is safe now. You can bring in the people tomorrow. I should get going for another appointment.”

“William, just stay for the night. I’ve booked a hotel room for you.” Aidan stopped him.

William waved his hand. “It’s fine. It’s an important business, so I gotta go.”

Since William insisted on leaving. Aidan sent him to the train station. William was at case now that the Wrights problem was settled. He returned home, only to see the guilt–stricken Dominic and Diego kneeling right in front of the tree. It had been a day, and they were dog–tired. The pale–faced men seemed. to be collapsing at any time soon.

Ignoring them. William treated Melisenna and opened up Mia’s meridians. By then, it was past midnight, and he was annoyed by the noise outside, so he told them to leave by claiming that the spruce dryad had forgiven them.

A wave of relief showered the two men as they thanked profusely and left. The Barrett Family became a formidable existence that they would never mess with.

The long day had sapped William of his strength, so he forwent his training and tucked in his bed just like

that.

The next day, a call from the headmaster of Halivaara High woke him up. With utmost manner, the headmaster first praised Mia’s academic intelligence and voiced out his wish to transfer her to the best elite class in school. The twenty students in the elite class were taught by the best teachers at Halivaara High. The class itself proved the students‘ potential to be in the top five in the whole nation.

“Thank you, but Mia’s not feeling well these days. It will take her a while to recover before returning to school,” said William.

“No problem.”

The call ended when he smelled something nice. He checked on the time, and it was noon.

“William, lunch is ready!” shouted Mia outside the door.

“Comin.” He put on his clothes in a hurry and headed to the living room.

Although she did not go to school, she did not waste her time. She woke up at 6.00AM just to solve six sets of math competition questions.

“William, I did some math trials. Her expression was indecipherable.

“How was it? Doable?”

ed!

“Out of a hundred marks, 1 for the first set. I scored better after that, and I managed to solve everything for the last two sets.”

“Really? That’s awesome! Keep up the good work.” He was elated to hear that.

“William, what are your plans?” Mia questioned suddenly.

He was stunned by the question because he did not plan anything just yet, so he gave it a thought. “Say. how about 1 become a doctor?”

That’s great!” She nodded. “You’ll be the best doctor out there!”

Only then did he carefully muse over his future. He possessed strong fighting skills, but that would not carn him any money. Instead, he could put his medical knowledge to use to treat people and earn a living.

To become a doctor, it was compulsory to have a medical license that required at least a master’s degree and a year–long experience as a medical intern. Considering that he had plenty of time, he was not in a rush to plan out his career.

After the meal. William informed his family about his outstation travel. On the day he emancipated, Chester gave him a note with an address and contact number written on it. A wealthy business family was plagued by a strange disease, so Chester hoped for William to check on him.

The address led him to a company namely Pathos Media in Archalon. Since William was free these few days to visit the patient, he contacted the written number,

“Hello. May I know who this is?” A polite old man answered the call.

I’m Mr. Barrett. I’m requested by Chester to tend to the owner of this phone number.”

“Please hold on. I have to verify it.” A minute later, the old man spoke, “Mr. Barrett, Mr. Reynes is on his

way.

A brisk voice resounded two minutes after that. “Is this Mr. Barrett? I’m Svenson Reynes. You finally called.”

“Mr. Reynes, are you feeling unwell?” William dove straight into the topic.

“No. It’s my daughter. Let’s get into the details when we meet up. Where are you, Mr. Barrett?”

William looked at the time. “If you have time, we can meet up today.”

“How about 5.00PM at Wyvern Hotel?”

They agreed to the details of their neetup, and the call ended. Subsequently, William hailed a cab to the train station to travel to Archalon,/which took about two hours and a half.

Archalon, known as the Demon City, was an internationally renowned metropolis. It was more bustling than Justford and where the riches flocked.

anxious voice.

He killed time by scrolling his phone. Halfway through the journey, the speakers played an “Dear travelers, an elderly person is having a seizure in the business–class cabin. If there is any medical staff onboard, please come to the cabin to help us. I repeat”

Without hesitation. William stood up to move to the cabin. The scene was stirred into a ruckus, anxiety drove the crew and men in suits to the end of their wits.

“Tm a doctor, William piped up.

Their eyes lit up as they made way for him. A pretty young lady in a suit led him into the cabin, where an old man was reclining in his seat. His skin was sallow, his muscles were tense, and there was so much white

in his eyes

William scanned the old man’s brain to discover a tumor in it. Mingling around the nerves, it had reached a critical point, which resulted in a seizure. Before he could say something, a young man rushed to the scene and announced, I’m a neurosurgeon. Please make way. I’ll check on the patient.”

The tactless man shouted right after he arrived at the scene, ignoring William’s presence. As a result, he stepped aside to see what that doctor could do.

The skinny and short young man had toned skin. After examining the old man, his expression turned solemn. “Something’s wrong with his brain. I’m not sure what it is yet, so send him to the nearest hospital at the next stop. There’s still a chance for survival.”

The young lady’s face went pale. “Sir, will my grandfather be alright?”

“I can’t promise.” He shook his head.

“He won’t be able to hold for more than five minutes.” William blurted. “He’ll stop breathing if we don’t treat him now.”
