Chapter 139 Chamber of the Divine Warriors
Curious, William asked, “What abode, Miquella?”
Miquella smiled. “We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
William drove all the way to East Lake No. 1. He had heard of this villa before, and it was said a mysterious. man was the owner of this place. He didn’t think it would be Miquella.
The door of the villa opened and a butler came out. William drove inside.
Once he got out of the car, Miquella said, “This villa is a contact point of the Chamber of the Divine Warriors built in Halivaara. I didn’t think it’d be so close to your place.”
It was the first time William had heard of the Chamber of the Divine Warriors. He asked, “What does the
chamber do?”
Miquella smiled. “They do two things. One, we protect the nation. We’re the first line of defense whenever cultivators try to invade us. Two, we deal with the cultivators within the nation. Those bigwigs might be tough on their own turf, but every single one of them must be registered with me. They cannot set anything up without my permission. If they break the law, we’ll arrest them too.”
William was shocked. “That’s a lot of power. I bet the chamber is filled with a lot of powerful fighters.”
“I’m number two in terms of power. Our senior’s the top. He’s a Martial God, so that’s why. There are one Warrior King and eight Innate Realm Masters under me. Every Innate Realm Master is in charge of one area, and they call themselves a hall. For example, you guys have a Canan Hall in Kreim. There’s at least one Innate Realm Master helming that hall, and they’re assisted by more than a few Divine Realms. Masters.”
William didn’t expect Miquella’s forces to be this strong. “Can the chamber order people around?”
“Technically, yes. If we have permission, we can mobilize all the military forces in every state, and all the fighters are obliged to work with me. Of course, that seldom happens, since what happens in the world of cultivators stays in the world of cultivators.” He laughed. “Do you want to work at Canan Hall? I can make you the deputy hall master.”
William blinked. “What do I get from it?”
Miquella burst into laughter. “A lot. The best we can give you, of course. You will receive a million and a half in remuneration every year, and we will reward every case you crack handsomely. Moreover, the members of the halls are allowed to take on side jobs, the earnings potential of which is high. Just recently, Canan Hall’s members sculed a problem for a rich guy in Lion City, and they made about thirty million.”
William’s eyes shone. Okay, that is tempting. He asked, “Not too many requirements for this job, I hope?”
“Hey, you’re my junior. Just take the post. Of course, the public will know you guys by a different name. They’ll tell you when it’s time.” He patted William’s shoulder. “You have potential. We’re getting older. If you can get stronger, we can let you take over things eventually.”
He must be older than he looks. William said, “Human immortals can live up to three hundred years, so you’re not that old. If I had to wager a guess, I’d say that you’d be in your thirties if you were a regular mortal.”
Miquella waved him down. “You’re young. You don’t know how the old think, but the time will come.”

Chapter 139 Chamber of the Divine Warriors
“So, Miquella, what’s this about the abode you guys found?”

Miquella smiled. “I was just about to bring it up. William, do you know how modern cultivators got their
hands on the manuals?”
*From our predecessors?”
“Part of it, yes, but most of them come from abodes and dungeons. Some of these treasures come from ancient times, while some come from prehistoric civilizations. Still, at the end of the day, they all come from prehistoric civilizations.”
Wait. The legacy in my pendant came from a prehistoric civilization too. He asked, “Are the treasures in the abodes that powerful?”
“We can never be sure. It depends on what kind of abode we’re dealing with, but most of the time, we find some good stuff. If you’re lucky, you get the really good stuff. But if you’re not, you might find yourself a dud.
William nodded. “I wonder if the abode the cult found has anything good in it.”
Miquella chuckled. “Not like it’s their business. Do you want to check it out?”
William nodded. “Yeah.
“The Chamber of the Divine Warriors will take over this case. We’ll clear the vicinity and start digging the stuff up. I’ll take you there after that.”
“How long is that going to take?”
“About two weeks. It’s a hassle when it comes to abodes. There’s always some magic mumbo jumbo inside preventing us from digging it smoothly. You can check things out before they clear it, though.”
Oh, he’s going to fight the cult, huh? “You’ll be dealing with the cult, I presume? Do you need my help?”
Miquella laughed. “They won’t fight us. They’re not that gutsy, so you don’t have to step in.”
While they were talking, William noticed that something was wrong with Miquella’s heart. It was obviously deformed, but he was using his Qi to make sure it was functioning as normal. However, it did affect him. He could only use seventy percent of his power at most in battles. A moment later, William asked, “Can I check your pulse, Miquella?”
Miquella paused for a moment, then he extended his hand. William checked his pulse for a moment, and then he solemnly said, “Were you born with a weak heart?”
Surprised, Miquella said, “You’re good. Only my master and senior know about it. How did you find out?”
“Because I’m a doctor. You’ll have to treat this soon, or it’s going to hurt your training.”
“I’m afraid it’s not that easy. I’m a fighter, so regular surgery won’t work on me. This is the best choice I
have.”
A bit of musing later, William said, “I can handle this.”
Miquella trembled. “Are yo
you sure?”

William nodded. “Your heart just needs a bit of patching up so it can function normally. All it needs is some muscles.”
Miquella stared at William calmly. “You’re not joking?”
“Not when it comes to this,” said William seriously.
Miquella took a deep breath. “If you can actually heal me, I’d be in your debt.”
Miquella didn’t tell him the whole story. If it weren’t for his heart condition, he’d have been a Martial God stronger than his master’s first student. His heart condition left him with great regret.
William smiled. “Hey, we’re studying under the same master. Of course, I need to help you.”
Miquella was delighted. “Once we settle the matter with the abode, I’ll start my treatment.”
While they made small talk, a bunch of powerful fighters arrived. Miquella told William to get some rest while he and his team made their way to the abode.
The result was obvious enough. The cult would be forced to leave and the Chamber of the Divine Warriors would take over. When William returned home that night, Mia and Melisenna were already asleep, but Gwendolyn was still awake as she was waiting for him.
Earlier, she stole a glance from the second floor when Miquella was around, and something told her that man was powerful. “So, who was that guy, William?”
“My senior. He’s the second–in–command of the Chamber of the Divine Warriors and a Warrior King.”
