Chapter 56 News From the Farrell Family
William cleared his throat and asked, “Mom, has Mia gone to school already?”
Hearing his voice, Melisenna walked out with a spatula in her hand and said, “Gwen said that we should stay with her. Do you think it is suitable, William?”
“Yes. Our house is too old. I’m planning on demolishing it and building a villa,” he replied.
“I feel scared when I’m there alone, Mrs. Barrett. It’ll be nice if you guys can go and stay with me. That way, we can accompany each other,” said Gwendolyn.
“Alright.” Melisenna smiled. “However, how are we going to pay the rent? We can’t possibly live there for free.”
To that, Gwendolyn merely smiled and said nothing. There was no way she would take their money.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. When William turned around and saw Herman standing by the door, he quickly ushered him in. “What brings you here, Mr. Webber?”
“I’m here to tell you guys some good news. Mia passed with flying colors and won first place in the capital. Hence, the head of the capital decided to let her take part in the National Math Olympiad in the winter.”
“Really?” William was excited. “Does that mean she can get into Tsing University?”
“She will definitely be able to get into Tsing University. Moreover, she will have
many more options in the future.” Herman smiled.

Although William wanted to treat Herman, the latter was a busy man. After he had told them about the news, he left.

“Mia is amazing! She won first place in the capital. She is the first person. who has ever won it,” said Gwendolyn.
William was in a good mood. “Let’s go out and have lunch, Mom. We have to celebrate this with Mia.”
“Okay. Remember to call your grandparents,” Melisenna reminded while smiling.
As soon as Mia left school, they went to Micah’s restaurant. When they arrived at the destination, they saw a few luxury cars parked outside the building, blocking the path. Since the cars had blocked the road, neither. the vehicles from inside nor outside could leave or enter. Hence, there
weren’t any customers in the restaurant.
When Micah heard that someone had arrived, he came out of the restaurant. When he saw it was William, he quickly ran toward him and said, “Hurry up and leave, William! They are looking for you!”
“Who are they?” William frowned.
“Those guys whom you fought last time,” replied Micah. “For the past few days, they have been barricading my restaurant, so I don’t have any customers coming over. I plan to move my restaurant somewhere else. We can’t provoke them.”
Listening to his words, William smirked coldly and said, “How bold of them! Don’t worry, Micah. I’ll handle this matter for you. Today, I’m here to have lunch, so hurry up and tell your workers to start cooking.”
“Don’t go against them, William. They have money and power. We have nothing to fight against them.” Micah smiled bitterly.
“They are just a bunch of clowns, so it’s nothing to be mindful of.” William smiled.
Seeing that he had insisted on taking care of it, Micah could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Still, he went to prepare food for them. After two dishes had been served. there was a stir outside. William went out to check

what the ruckus was about and saw that those people were scolding Micah. Micah remained silent as he looked down while clenching his fists tightly. As William looked at them, there was a slight movement in his right hand. In that split second, the young man, who was scolding Micah, fell to the
group
ground and was foaming at the mouth. The was shocked by the outcome and quickly helped him up. However, they couldn’t do anything. In the end, they had to call an ambulance.
Ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived, and one of the lackeys roared at Micah, “Our leader is sick because he was arguing with you! You have to take responsibility for this!” However, as soon as he finished his words, he shuddered and fell to the ground while foaming at the mouth as well. Then, the paramedics took both of them away. The rest of the group felt that something was off. They didn’t dare to say anything as they exchanged glances. In the end, they left along with the ambulance.
On the other hand, Micah was confused and couldn’t understand what was happening. Just then, William dragged him to their table, and they celebrated together. When Micah knew that Mia had won first prize, he gave her an envelope with 150 Talons in it.
After lunch, William started moving everything out of the house. He moved things that were useful to Gwendolyn’s place, and those that were hard to carry were left in the courtyard for the time being. Jose and Jason* did most of the work and even asked some of Jose’s friends for help. After they were done moving everything out, the next step was to demolish and rebuild the house. However, William had no experience, and these things. were troublesome. Thus, he decided to hire an expert to help him.
On the other hand, Walter was almost done recovering. William had given. him another treatment, and Walter was able to walk around since then. However, he still needed to take his medication for a certain period.
As time passed, it was getting late, and everyone went to sleep early. William was still standing in the yard, practicing the Finger–Flicking technique. After having prior experience, he soon finished the first six steps. Not only did he improve its effect, he even removed the side effect.
Just as he was about to practice the last six steps of the technique, he got a

call from Jonathan. “William, I had just talked to the Farrells, and they refused to oblige. It looks like they are going after you!” Jonathan said seriously.
“Is that so?” William raised his eyebrow. “Since they want to start a war, I’ll be happy to play along.”
“I heard that they hired a boxing master, who is skilled in snap punches, from the outskirts. Rumors said he can make a buffalo fly away with one punch!” Jonathan exclaimed.
“As long as he is not a Divine Realm Master, I can handle him.” William was calm even after hearing that.
When Jonathan heard his words, he breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good! If you can defeat the boxing master, the Farrell Family won’t be trying to pull tricks on you for some time.”
“Since they decided to be my enemies, I will not back–down,” said William.
At that moment, something flashed across Jonathan’s mind. “By the way, the Farrell Family is planning on a huge business at Kreim, If they succeed, they will become the first–class family in Kreim,” he said. Although the Farrell Family had authority, they were only considered second–class. There were dozens of second–class families in Kreim, but only a few were first–class.
When William heard that, his interest was piqued. “What business are they doing?”
“The Farrell Family’s core business is health care products. It was told that they had got a secret recipe and were ready to create a new product. They are very confident with it and have been expanding their factory, seemingly trying to hit the jackpot. Therefore, they cooperated with the Reynes Family at the Archalon and are going to invest 1.5 billion Talons in upgrading their production line. After they have signed the treaty, the Reynes Family will have 20 percent of shares.”
“The Revnes Family?” As William spoke, a figure flashed across his mind.

“Is it Svenson?”
“Yes, it’s him! Do you know him, too?” Jonathan was surprised.
William thought of something and said, “Try and give me one of their samples.”
“What do you need it for, William?” asked Jonathan.
“If you give me the sample, I can identify the ingredients and their ratio. Moreover, I can even know how to make it,” said William.
Jonathan was shocked by his words. “That’s amazing! Okay, I’ll send my men over right away!”
After William hung up the phone, he mumbled, “It looks like I’ve got to master the Holy Fist as soon as possible.”
