Chapter 105 The Expensive Blood Fungus!
At that moment, a group of suit–clad men came with a gray–beard old man in the middle. They were dressed up like successful people, seeming to have high statuses, and were very respectful toward the old
man.
Right after entering the hall, the old man suddenly sniffed the air and let out a curious hum. Then, his eyes lit up.
Someone next to the old man asked, “Mr. Barthelemy, what’s the matter?”
The old man called Mr. Barthelemy seemed surprised. “I think I smell some kind of divine herb!”
After he finished, he began searching around the hall, so the others could only follow him.
Back inside the room, William waited for a while before taking out the blood fungus, which had already lost its red color and turned white. Its medicinal properties had leaked out and combined with the whiskey, leaving only poison inside.
William split the liquor into two and gave Mia and Melisenna one each. “Mom, Mia, drink this.”
Mia had a bitter expression while complaining. ‘I don’t want to drink any liquor.”
“Don’t worry. It’s not liquor. This is a divine herb drink, William assured her. He wasn’t lying either because the blood fungus‘ medicinal properties were inside its blood–colored substance. Once that substance was mixed with alcohol, it became a divine herb drink. However, this technique was rarely known by others. For instance, that well–known doctor in Symphonia didn’t know about this.
Afterward, Mia picked up the cup and took a sip. Her mouth was filled with a strange fragrance and sweetness, with only a slight hint of alcohol. Immediately, she finished her drink and commented in surprise, “Great taste!”
Hearing that, Melisenna didn’t hesitate and drank it as well.
Just after they placed the bowl down, the door was suddenly opened, and in came a gray–beard old man, followed by a bunch of people.
When the old man came in, he began sniffing around and finally stared at the blood fungus that had lost its color.
“A blood fungus!” His face was filled with shock as he looked at the crowd. “May I know who this blood fungus belongs to?”
William stared at the old man. Though that man didn’t have a cultivation base, he seemed energetic, which implied that he was good at maintaining his body condition.
He asked, “Sir, do you recognize the blood fungus?”
That old man replied, “Sir, I’m Gilbert Barthelemy, a medical practitioner. I smelled the fragrance of the blood fungus and came in to take a look. Never would I have expected I would be able to feast my eyes on a blood fungus in this lifetime. A life well spent, I’d say!” etime.
In the meantime, Ashton was shocked when he noticed there were two of Justford’s wealthiest people in the crowd behind Gilbert. He exclaimed, “Are you Gilbert Barthelemy, the doctor with incredible medical.

Gilbert nodded. “You’re flattering me. I’m just an ordinary medical practitioner.
However, the others weren’t paying attention to Gilbert. That was because Gilbert mentioned “blood fungus, and William previously said that the blood fungus was very valuable!
At that moment, William’s words echoed inside Troy’s mind. “This is a blood fungus, and it’s priceless. If you take this the right way, it can help ordinary people prolong their lifespan. This thing is very valuable, and you wouldn’t be able to get it for belowe several million.”
Feeling his heart sink, Troy asked the old man, “Sir, did you just call this a blood fungus? Is it very expensive?”
Gilbert laughed. “The blood fungus is a precious herb that couldn’t be bought even if you’re rich. If you must place a value on it, I think it might be worth at least four million.”
Four million!
Troy felt like he was about to faint. He would have fallen to the ground if he wasn’t holding onto the table.
Then, he angrily accused William, “You brat! Since you’ve already given it to me, why must before me?”

destroy it
William calmly replied, “I gave it to you as a gift, but you rejected it and only took the whiskey and tea. I thought you didn’t appreciate it, so I gave it to Mia and Mom. After all, I can’t let such a valuable thing go
to waste.”
On the other hand, the Barretts felt like they were about to go insane. How could Troy reject a four- million–Igneus–Talon blood fungus?!
Sophia suddenly asked, “William, do you have any more of that blood fungus?”
While shrugging. William answered, “No, I don’t.”
Sophia instantly felt disappointed. “You little bistard, you’re as ungrateful as your father!”
William’s expression turned grim as he looked toward the door.
At that moment, Jason came in with a large bag. William took the bag and emptied its contents on the table, revealing a huge pile of cash, precisely three thousand Igneus Talons.
He then announced, “Here’s the 300 thousand you asked for. Once you take this money, my dad will not owe you anything else, nor does my family owe you anything.”
After he was done, he called Mia and Melisenna before getting up and leaving.
The Barretts didn’t stop him because their eyes were fixed on the pile of cash on the table. Kieran and Adley reached for the cash, but Sophia smacked their hands away while reprimanding. “No touching! Your grandpa will distribute the money.”
On the other hand, Gilbert hurriedly followed behind William and stopped him. “Sir, please wait.”
William stopped and asked, “Dr. Barthelemy, can I help you with anything?”
Gilbert said, “Young lad, Isaw you steeped the blood fungus in liquor, so you must understand pharmacology. Are you a medical practitioner too?”

William replied, “I understand a little bit.
Smiling, Gilbert offered, “Since fate has brought us to meet each other, how about we exchange numbers so that we can keep in contact?”
Without contemplating much about it, William agreed and exchanged numbers with Gilbert.
Once they exited the restauraht, Mia released her breath and exclaimed, “That feels great!”
Melisenna also breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s finally settledt William, you’re more decisive than your father. He’s always been indecisive and hesitant, so he was mistreated for decades. I’ve even argued with him many times because of this.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
William concurred. “If there was another possibility, I wouldn’t want things to end this way either. But their attitude was too disappointing. If there was a slight chance, I still hope to maintain our large family.”
However, Mia disagreed with that. “William, those people didn’t even appear or make a phone call when Dad passed away. I’ve already lost hope in them since then.”
While patting Mia’s head, William agreed, “You’re right. From now on, we have severed our ties with them and will go our separate ways,
Soon, the family of three returned home.
When the armored car passed by the restaurant’s entrance, Jocelyn just happened to look through the window and saw William’s car. She searched for the word “Ford Raptor and saw several pictures of cars.
She was instantly stunned. “That brand really exists, and the cars cost over 15 million! Oh, my gosh!” she screamed.
“What’s the matter?” Clement asked.
Jocelyn had a complicated expression while pointing out the window. “Dad, William’s car does cost over 15 million! He wasn’t lying. That guy really is his driver!”
The entire Barrett Family was dumbfounded!
A car that cost over 15 million? How wealthy was William? And the blood fungus and whiskey he gave Troy. Could he…
Troy suddenly sprang to his feet and stood outside the hall, wanting to call William back. However, it was too late as William’s car had left, and they could only see its silhouette.
