Chapter 148 Treating His Injury
Blake 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.”
Blake felt his chest tightening. “How troublesome is 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.”
Do I only have to rest for a few days? Blake 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.”
Blake was 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 was 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, Leila let out a sigh of relief. She had been worried about William the entire time, so she was relieved to see him come back safely.
William told her to get some rest and started treating Blake 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 Blake’s damaged meridians.
He inserted some needles into Blake’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, Blake felt less pain in his meridians, and he was elated.
Then, William cultivated on his own and let Blake recover slowly.
For the rest of the time, he adjusted the moves of five Body Tempering Techniques. There were twelve sets of moves that were in accordance with twelve two–hour 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 circulation, which would be massively beneficial to his cultivation.
After cultivating for the entire night, Blake 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 and 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. Blake wasn’t there the entire time.
It wasn’t until the Howes were gone that Blake appeared and said with a smile, “Well, Daley knows his place at the very least.”

William nodded. “My best friend Dorian was killed by Zachary and his gang. I’m here to avenge his death.”
Blake said. “My company has a subsidiary in Jazona. If you need any assistance, just tell me right away?
William turned down his help, but he was curious about his company, so he asked, “Are escort services in demand now? How’s your business doing?”
Blake replied with a smile, “It seems that you know little about escort services, William.”
Then, he explained to William what his business was all about. Escort companies these days were different from those in ancient times. Just like today’s pawn shops, they offered comprehensive services.
In fact, his company’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 of land 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, Blake invested in two security service companies, 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 Blake, so the money wouldn’t appear in the company’s accounts.
All in all, his company 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 Blake’s explanation, William gained some knowledge and felt that the escort services were interesting.
All of a sudden, Blake said with a smile, “If you’re interested, you can work with me someday if there’s a job.”
William asked, “How much money do your escorts typically earn?”
Blake replied, “For a Divine Realm Master, their annual salary is 1.4 million. They’ll earn some extra income for every escort job. Usually, they can earn 4 million to 7 million annually. If they take on high- risk jobs, they might even earn 14 million in a single trip.
William’s eyes brightened. “14 million in a single trip? If there’s such a job in the future, count me in.”
Blake guffawed. “Sure.”
In the afternoon, William treated Blake 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, Blake would fully recover in two to three days.
Blake bid him farewell and left behind his contact number. He told William to contact him whenever the latter needed help.

After Blake was gone, William followed his plan and went to visit the county mayor and the leader of the Criminal Apprehenders in Asopus.
The county mayor’s name 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, and the two of them had better behave themselves. Otherwise, they would be dealt with too.
In the end, Wade and Forrest saw William off while sweating 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 occupying other people’s assets. They had also committed crimes such as extortion, blackmail, and kidnapping. The county office was officially investigating them.
Besides that, Leila would inherit Dorian’s equity interest and help look after the villagers‘ shareholdings that had been stolen by Zachary.
William was generally pleased with the outcome, 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 was 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 had been howling all day. They couldn’t take it anymore.
William patted Zachary, after which the latter 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 was my best friend, so you have to pay for his death!”
A despondent Zachary exclaimed, “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 me off, sir! This place is like a living hell for me. I killed Dorian. I’ll hand myself over to the police and accept 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.
