William narrowed his eyes I know Mia the best! Those boys have feelings for her, which I understand, bur- I hope they don’t interrupt her studies”
Mr. Craig was taken aback, for that was supposed to be his advice. He coughed in embarrassment and said, “What I meant was“
Mr. Craig. I understand You’re worried that those boys with bad grades might affect Mia’s studies. How about this? I’ll talk to the principal and have her transfer to a different class. What do you think?”
He stared at Mr. Craig, who was shocked and hurriedly explained, “No, that’s not what I‘
“I understand.” William did not give him a chance to speak. “I won’t give you trouble. Let’s go with that.” Then, he left the meeting room with Mia.
William, where are we going?” she asked.
“Home”
She was startled, “Am I dropping out?”
He explained. “Don’t worry about it. Later, I’ll request a class transfer. The class you’re in right now is a huge mess, and Mr. Craig is not helping. By the way, you should take the chance to sign up for the National Math Competition. I looked it up, and it’s in two weeks. You can still sign up for it, but you have to ramp up the training.
He knew because he looked up the information online. Candidates who made it to the top 200 were eligible to participate in the National Math Olympiad. The top candidates from that Olympiad would be joining the national training camp and making their way to the International Math Olympiad.
Mia was dumbfounded. “William, these are top students who train for more than a year under professional coaches. How could I possibly win?”
“What are you afraid of? I’ll get an expert to coach you.”
Expert? What expert is that? Oh, I’m going crazy.
Before the siblings left, Gwendolyn suddenly suggested, ‘Mr. Barrett, I might be able to help you.”
He halted and said, “Oh? Can you?”
She smiled softly. “I participated in the Math Olympiad before. If you don’t mind, I can coach your sister. How does that sound?”
“You?” William was in disbelief. “Did you win anything?”
She chuckled. “I was the second runner–up in the whole of Igneus. Is that impressive enough for you?”
He was amazed by her achievements and agreed to the idea. “Fine. I’ll have to trouble you.”
“No worries. I’m glad to be of help to you.” She added with a smile, “By the way, you’d better get her transferred to a different class if you want her to go for the math competition. I can help you with that
too.”

He was happy to hear that. “Is that so? Thank you.”
After they parted ways with Gwendolyn, they arrived home around 10.00AM. William asked Mia to go through some guidebooks for the math competition while he rushed over to the train station. He had agreed to help Aidan get rid of the bad elements in the Prosperity Villa around noon.
When he arrived in Justford, he found Aidan waiting at the entrance with another middle–aged man. The man was not elderly, but half of his hair was grey. He was Aidan’s father, Anjur Wright.
After they were introduced to each other, William went up and greeted Anjur personally. “Hello, Mr. Wright.”
Anjur held his hand tightly. “Barrett! I’m so grateful to you. Are you capable of getting rid of the bad elements?”
William nodded. “That’s not a problem for me. Don’t worry.” He turned to Aidan and asked, “Have you prepared the stuff I asked for?”
“Yes, they’re all in the trunk,” Aidan answered and waved. “It’s almost noon. Let’s get going!”
The trio went to Prosperity Villa in Aidan’s car. At the entrance, Anjur appeared anxious as he shakily took out the items requested by William from the trunk. In contrast, William calmly laid out the vermilion sand and animal horn powder, which he turned into a paste with the help of some cow tears. Next, he created a brush for talisman writing from a cow’s eyelash
When everything was ready, he took out a piece of paper for the talisman and drew a weird–looking. complicated symbol on it. That was how the talisman came to bethe creator shifted his Qi to enter a meditative state and drew the symbol in one attempt; only then would he produce an effective talisman. The spirits might laugh at someone who did not know the secret to effective talisman creation, but they would scream in shock at those who were experts.
William’s style of mojo creation originated from the Book of Talisman from the Way of Heaven and Earth. He would connect the Qi from the Way of Heaven and Earth to produce harmony between the sky and earth. With that, he could get rid of any bad elements lurking around.
When he was done with one amulet, he saw a layer of extraordinary power on the talisman via his third eye, much to his satisfaction. He asked. “Are the workers here yet?”
He had asked for twenty workers, whom he wanted to bring along with some tools for excavation to remove the jar from underground. Aidan replied, “They’re almost here!”
William nodded and went on with his talisman creation. Soon, he completed twenty amulets, but the color had drained from his face. He finally understood the amount of energy needed for talisman creation as his body was worn out after working on twenty of them.
“Are you alright?” Aidan asked, concerned.
He waved. “I’m okay. I just need a quick rest. During the break, he asked, “Mr. Wright, has your family gotten on the wrong side of any powerful figures?”
Anjur flashed a bitter smile. “It’s hard not to make enemies when you’re running a business, but I never had any serious conflict with 6thers
William changed his question. “Well, have you ever gotten in contact with those who knew sorcery?”

ulled and answered, “No. I was never superstitions before this. After the incident at Prosperity Villa, however, I hired a lot of experts and paid them handsomely, but none could solve my problem. He added. “Barrett, don’t worry I’ll make sure you’re well compensated for all the help you offer me” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
William waved his hand. “It’s no big deal. Aidan is a good friend of mine, so I should help him o

The workers arrived at that time, and William asked Aidan to distribute the talismans to each one of them. which would be placed on the chest. After that, he made two more for Aidan and Anjur.

went to work. Their first goal was to excavate the huge iar in the
Equipped with the talismans, the group villa on the top of the hill, where the body of the ghost mother rested.
They arrived at the villa and started digging with the machinery while William stood guard by the side. Aidan walked up with a new attitude and sounded more respectful when he addressed him. “William, I talked with Tia last night. The Lloyds are willing to work with us. They will spend two billion and utilize their connections to help us revitalize the Prosperity Villa project.”
William commented, “Sounds good. As long as the Prosperity Villa is on the market, you stand a chance to repay all your debts and earn some profits while you’re at it.”
Aidan sighed. “Never have I thought that you’re such an expert!”
William explained, “It so happened that I learned about this particular Killing Formation. Count yourself lucky.”
Aidan chuckled and asked, “William, is Miss Lloyd seriously your girlfriend?”
William rolled his eyes.
“What do you think? Of course not. Why would a girl from a wealthy family have eyes for someone who’s just released from prison?”
Aidan sighed. “That’s such a pity. I know you’re talented, but families like the Lloyds care more about social status.
That was a concern that had never occurred to William. “The Lloyds benefit from this arrangement too. Your cooperation with them is a win–win situation. Since you’re about to graduate soon, you can be of help to your dad.”
Aidan nodded and beamed. “William, 200 villas were built for phase one of Prosperity Villa, and the best. among them is One Prosperityit’s the only one of its kind, and it’s built on top of the hill. This unit is sitting on a 15–acre land and is approximately 50,000 square feet huge. This lovely place also comes with a swimming pool, gardens, and a helicopter landing pad.”
“Are you giving it to me?” William said coolly, “It’s too expensive. I’m helping you because you’re a friend. I can’t be asking for something in return.”
Aidan put on a straight face. “Since you and I are friends, you should accept my gift without worrying about the price tag. It’s also something my dad wants to give you.”
Hearing that, William did not insist on turning down the villa. After all, land in Justford was scarce and pricey, and it would be nice to own a villa in that city.
“Okay, then. I’ll accept it.”

Aidan was happy to hear that. “William, when all units of Prosperity Villa are sold out, my family is going to get rich. By then, I’ll invite sit on the l
you to
Dard of Wright Group and award you some shares.
William waved his hand. I’m content with the villa. I don’t need any shares.”
Since he had made it clear, Aidan dropped the topic and discussed the cooperation between the Wrights and the Lloyds instead. An hour of chatting later, they found out that the huge jar had been dug out successfully and lifted out from the underground with a rope.
