The instant William succeeded with his breakthrough, he immediately started to open up his tertiary meridians. Now, coupled with his divine senses and x–ray vision, he could accurately locate his tertiary meridians and use the Golden Qi to hasten the process without worry.
This time, he opened up the tertiary meridians to his brains first. By doing so, it would increase his intellectual capacity, allowing him to be able to face stressful situations with a clearer mind. It also helped that such actions would allow for better memory.
The brain meridians were the most delicate yet complicated ones because they were closely packed together. Fortunately, he had awakened his divine senses and possessed x–ray vision, so the entire went smoothly.

At 10.00AM, he heard a roar akin to the sound of thunder in his mind as the last tertiary meridian was opened!
Right then, he could feel his scattered thoughts coming together to form a logically sound argument. It was as though an average computer had turned into a supercomputer and it could calculate numerous possibilities within seconds. To his delight, his five senses: his hearing, sight, touch, and so forth had also heightened considerably. All the old memories locked away in his mind became as clear as day. Sure enough, he was able to arrive at the best possible judgment available within seconds using his improved
senses.
Prior to this, he had to slave away in order to understand and learn the twenty–four styles of Dragon Maul. Yet, after his breakthrough, he only needed a couple of seconds to immediately grasp the knowledge before him. Thus, he wasted no time as he sprang to his feet and started going through the motions. Soon, he had successfully familiarized himself with the first set in a short amount of time. Then, he began practicing the second and third styles, all of which he was capable of learning proficiently in a matter of seconds.
In just a few minutes, he had mastered all twenty–four styles of the Dragon Maul! That wasn’t all, he also took the initiative to combine the Dragon Maul style with the Shaylin Dragon Claw style, blending them together. He had created a whole new set of moves and perfected them very quickly, pushing the boundaries set by those techniques by coming up with his own ideas. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
As he was so immersed in his practice, he gradually lost himself as time passed by. Hence, by the time he came to and perfected the Dragon Maul, it was already past 2.00PM.
When he checked his phone, he saw that he received several missed calls, and they were all from Tia, Kane, and Sherika.
So, he immediately returned their calls respectively and found out that Tia was about to seal a big deal tonight, and it would be the first for her ever since she took over the Lloyd Family. So, she was nervous and wanted William to accompany her, to which he gave his word saying that he would be there tonight.
Kane didn’t have anything going on recently and merely wanted to invite him out for drinks because he had just procured two bottles of top–notch whiskey. Alas, William had no choice but to turn him down as he had a lot on his plate at the moment.
As for Sherika, she said that Oakley was currently accompanying her and hoped that William would forgive him for her sake. To be frank, William rather admired Oakley, the athlete, because there weren’t many basketball superstars in Igneus–only two in total–and he didn’t want him to go down like this. Nonetheless, he didn’t promise her anything and simply said that they’d discuss this matter once they met

When he left the house, he recalled that today was the day of Elsa’s audition. After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to call her and ask about the situation. Yet, nobody answered when he called. Even though he found it odd, he didn’t pay any mind to it and figured she was probably busy with something.
At the moment, the production team of Voice of the World was holding an audition at Bernard Music School. During the audition, five professional judges would place their votes, and only candidates who had more than four votes could pass the audition and enter the second round of auditions.
Elsa has never felt more nervous in her life as she stood amongst the crowd, waiting for her turn. Suddenly, she heard a whispered discussion from behind her.
“Did you guys give the judges money yet?” a girl asked.
וי
gave 15,000. What about you guys?”
“I gave 11,000,”
13,000.
“Damn! These judges are so corrupt! They won’t let anyone pass unless we pay out, huh?”
“Whatever. We’ve given them the money, anyway, so we’ll definitely pass the audition.”
Else felt her heart sink when she overheard their conversation. Do I need to pay for a chance to shine? There’s no way anyone can call this an impartial audition if I do. Still, she didn’t have time to dwell on the morally corrupt judges as it was her turn. Regardless, she was confident that the appearance and piece that she chose were top–tier, so she was certain that she could achieve a very high score. Yet, only two out of the five judges voted for her.
Although she had expected such an outcome after accidentally cavesdropping on the discussion earlier, she was still rather disappointed. So, it was with the thought of judges accepting bribes in her mind that she mustered her courage to ask one of the judges who didn’t vote for her, “Ma’am, may I ask what I can improve on?”
The woman in her forties said indifferently, “Improve? You look like a vixen and the sight of your face makes me want to throw up. Are you happy now? Next!”
How can she insult me like this? Elsa thought, utterly stunned, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she dejectedly left the room with her head lowered. After she staggered out of the room, the more she thought about it, the more unjustified she felt, and she whisked out her phone to call William. It was then that she saw that she had a missed call from him.
In the meantime, William had just arrived at Sherika’s house when he received Elsa’s call. “How did you do in the audition, Elsa?” he asked with a smile.
Alas, he didn’t receive any good news. Instead, he heard her sobbing on the other end of the phone, “William, the judges are so mean,
“Don’t Cry
and tell me what happened,” he coaxed with a worried frown. However, after he heard her out, he growled angrily. “Those useless judges! Give me some time. I’ll teach those people a lesson!”
When he pushed open the courtyard door, Genevieve welcomed him with a placaring smile. “Welcome, Mr. Barrett.” William gave her a cold stare, and her hair stood on its ends. So, she gulped anxiously and started saying cautiously, “Mr. Barrett, you-

“Genevieve, just do a show properly if you’re going to make one. Hiring a group of idiots to insult others is
no fun!”
Immediately, Genevieve understood what he meant. Something in the audition had angered him, so she hastily asked, “Mr. Barrett, did something happen that made you upset?”
Therefore, he told her everything that happened with a stone–cold demeanor. The moment Genevieve learned about this matter, she felt her face turning stark white from fury as she said, “Mr. Barrett, I’m so sorry. This is all due to my mismanagement and I’ll head over to the scene to set things straight right away. By the way, that candidate’s name is Elsa Limsey, right?”
“Yes.”
“Mr. Barrett, I’ll be taking my leave now and will be leaving Oakley in your care,” she said with a bow before departing in a hurry.
William immediately caught sight of Oakley and his terror of a mother, Irene, upon entering the living room. Sherika could finally stand after receiving treatment. So, she immediately rose to her feet and greeted him with a smile. “Dr. Barrett, this is Oakley, whom you’ve met before.”
William didn’t even bother sparing a glance at him as he said, “Come on, let’s continue with the treatment.”
Naturally, Oakley noticed that William hadn’t forgiven him, so he hurriedly said, “Dr. Barrett, it was my fault the last time for being ignorant. I’m sorry.”
Irene, the middle–aged woman, cleared her throat and said, “Dr. Barrett, I’m sorry for disrespecting you last time. Treat my son and I’ll pay you handsomely once he’s recovered, but let’s be clear that I’ll only pay after you’ve cured him.” Although she was well aware that William was capable, this woman still spoke to him in a bossy tone.
However, Oakley knew that she had messed up the situation the instant she spoke in that tone. So, he grumbled in frustration, “Mom, what are you talking about?”
William felt his impatience growing as he asked, “Oh, really? And what does ‘handsomely‘ mean?”
150,000. What do you say?”
“Go ahead and ask Sherika the amount she paid me for her treatment, William replied calmly.
A startled Irene turned to Sherika. “Sherika, what is he talking about?”
Sherika grumbled inwardly, Irene doesn’t have any people skills at all! “Four million for consultation plus other
stuff.
“The total amount she paid in consultation fees is no less than seven million. Since you have such a terrible attitude, I’ll charge you double and make it fourteen million, then.”
“What? Fourteen million?!” Irene sprang to her feet in shock. Then, she glared at him like an enraged, old hen and snarled. “Dream on! Do you have any idea how long my son has to work to make that amount of money?”
“You can give up the treatment if you don’t have the money. I’m not forcing you to receive treatment,” William retorted composedly.
Irene shook from anger as she pointed at him and stuttered, utterly enraged, “Y–You-
