A Mortal's Medicinal Elixirs
Chapter 41 Competition Controversy
The car had been driving for over an hour when Herman received a phone call. After listening for a few moments, his face turned pale, and he shouted, "How is that possibilell We clearly registered for it, and you even sent us the exam number. How could we not have registered?"
The person on the other end of the line said, "We're not sure about that, but we discovered that you weren't registered and won't be able to participate in the exam."
Anxiously, Herman said, "Could you please check again? Perhaps there's been a mistake:
"It's impossible. We wouldn't have made a mistake like that," the person on the phone replied before hanging up right away.
"What's going on, Mr. Webber?" asked William.
With a wry smile. Herman answered, "I don't know what's happening. The organizing committee called and said we didn't register, so we can't participate in the exam this time."
"What? That's not possible. I checked the official website, and it showed that we had registered successfully. Mia said with a frown.
"I'm rather puzzled as well. We definitely registered Herman sighed. He attached great importance to this exam; if Mja achieved good results, it would reflect positively on him.
Hearing all that, Jason asked, "Boss, should we still go?"
"Of course, we should," William replied coldly. "Mia is definitely taking this exam!"
Then, he dialed Jonathan's number and explained the situation. Jonathan had many connections, and he was able to reply in just 10 minutes.
"I found out what happened, William. It was one of the employees in the office who modified the registration information without authorization. I've already made them rectify it.
"Why did the employee modify it on purpose?" asked William.
"I've sent someone to investigate the reason. I'll let you know later. By the way, when you arrive at the Kreim Capital, you must come and meet me. I've missed you so much."
"Sure. I'll meet up with you, Mr., Big, replied William.
After he hung up the phone, Herman's expression changed. Who is he, actually? How can he find out about the situation with just one phone call?
Ten minutes later, his phone rang again. The other party confirmed that they had made a mistake and that Mia had successfully registered, so she could participate in the exam. They also apologized to him
nonstop.
With that, Herman was even more shocked. He became restless after hanging up the phone.
Meanwhile, Mia was curious, "William, are you going to meet a friend?"
William answered with a mod, saying, "His name is Jonathan Big, and he's a big shot at Kreim Capital. I

"Okay," she replied.
Upon hearing the name Jonathan Big. Herman trembled all over. His brother-in- law worked in the Kreim Capital and had mentioned Jonathan several times. Is William actually his friend?
After some time, the car finally entered the Kreim Capital and stopped at the gate of the Krein Capital High School. Jason went to park the car, while William and Herman accompanied Mia to tour the examination hall. The exam was scheduled from 9.00AM to 11.00AM, so there was still over an hour left before the exam.
The campus had designated areas for students to wait for the commencement of the exam. Math elites from all over Kreim had gathered there. Of course, there were also their parents and teachers present, forming a huge turnout.
As soon as William and the others sat down, they saw Janet and her father walking into the hall and sitting down not far away.
Likewise, Herman noticed them and couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh? I don't think Janet registered. What is she doing here?"
Just then, Jonathan called and said that a person named Samuel Langdon had bribed an employee from the examination office, and the employee even registered Samuel's daughter as an additional participant. In other words, Janet had taken Mia's spot in the exam, and it was no wonder she had come to take the
exam.
When William heard this news, his face turned disgruntled. What the f*ck? This is just too much!
im with ease, He stood up and walked toward Janet and her family. When Janet saw him, she greeted him "Hello, Mia's brother. Where is Mia?"
Behind her, a middle-aged man glanced at William but didn't say anything.
Hearing her question, William calmly answered, "Didn't you receive the notice? Your exam qualification has been canceled."
"What are you talking about?!" The man finally stood up, looking displeased.
William looked at him and said, "You are Samuel Langdon, right? You're the one who bribed the exam office to cancel my sister's qualification and change it to your daughter's name."
The middle-aged man was indeed Janet's father, Samuel, who was in the building materials business. At once, his face changed as he exclaimed, "How
did you know?"
With a sneer, William replied, "If you don't want others to know, don't do it from the beginning. You and your family can leave Kreim Capital now!"
At the same time, Janet was shocked and angry. Her little face was full of resentment. "Did you cancel my qualification? Who gave you the right? Dad, you have to do something!" She was stomping her feet anxiously.
On the other hand, Samuel quickly calmed down and looked at William. "You
must have some connections if you were able to find out the truth so quickly.
Well, it's my fault this time. Can we end this here?"
"End this here? Do you think you're the one calling he shots here?" William looked at him. "I have no

grievances or grudges against you, but your daughter first had someone threaten
my sister, and now, you've replaced her exam qualification with your daughter's
name. How dare you?"
At once, Samuel's face darkened. "Kid, do you really think I'm afraid of you? I have connections with some big shots in the underworld. You'd better back off and not make trouble."
William nodded. "Looks like I need to show you something, or you'll think I'm just
a harmless kitten.
Immediately, he made a phone call to his friend working in intelligence. "Help me run a check on Samuel Langdon. He's from Halivaara District, and his daughter's name is Janet Langdon. She's studying at Halivaara High. Okay, got it
Samuel was stunned. Did he order someone to run a background check on me? He's a psycho! Does he think we're filming a movie and that he can get any information on me with just a phone call? He couldn't help but sneer. "Kid, stop pretending to be tough in front of me. Let me tell you, I'
Before he could finish boasting, the person that William had called came back
with the information, so William put the call on speaker. "I've found it. Samuel Langdon is the brother-in-law of Halivaara Construction Department's deputy director. He has received a lot of building material orders through that connection in recent years, making a profit out of it."
"That's enough, William said before hanging up the phone..
Samuel was shocked. Who was on the other end of the phone? How did he know that my brother-in-law is the deputy director of the Halivaara Construction
Department?
While looking at him. William said, "Kneel, apologize to me, and slap yourself ten
times. I might consider forgiving you after that."
Although Samuel felt panicked, he would never agree to such a humiliating
request. "Kid, stop bluffing
With a smile. William started dialing a second phone number. This time, the call was directed to the mayor of the city, Cooper Zuch..
On the phone, Cooper was very surprised. "William? What's up? Is Gwen doing
well?"
William replied, "Hi. Mr. Zuch. Gwendolyn is doing well, and Old Mr. Zuch is also recovering. By the way. can I ask you something? Is there a construction
department in Halivaara?"
"Yes, every district has one. They are mainly responsible for undertaking several public construction projects," Cooper replied.
"The deputy director of the Halivaara Construction Department has been contracting a large number of projects to his brother-in-law and engaging in corruption. I think you should investigate this matter, Mr. Zuch."
After hearing the news, Cooper immediately said seriously, "Is this true? I will
have them investigate this matter and let you know the results later." "Thank you. Mr. Zuch. There's nothing else. I'll hang up first.
When he hung up the phone/Samuel's face was already pale. He asked, "Whom
did you call?"
William replied, "No one, just the mayor of Gentrel City, Cooper Zuch. You've
probably heard of him."

Thand. Samuel collapsed to the ground and said in a trembling voice, “I'm sorry, I
was wrong. Please forgive me. He kneeled on the ground with a pleading
expression.
However, William sneered. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. It's too
late to kneel now."
After speaking, he turned and walked away.
At this moment, Janet shouted, "Come back!"
William stopped and looked at the girl coldly, asking. "What else do you want to
say?"
"Don't threaten me. I'm not afraid Janet angrily replied.
Slap! Samuel slapped his daughter in the face and bellowed, "I low dare you
cause trouble for me again? Shut up!"
After that slap, Janet was completely stunned; this was the first time her father
had ever hit her. At once, tears streamed down her face like beads falling off a broken string.
Meanwhile, he quickly approached William, trembling as he said. "I was wrong, Mr. Barrett. Please give me another chance.
"Go back to Halivaara. I'll consider letting you off the hook when I'm in a better
mood," William responded indifferently.
"Okay, okay." He took his stunned wife and daughter out of the hall immediately. Based on what he said, I still have a chance
All this while, Mia saw everything that happened and asked William when he
came over, "What happened? Why did Janet's father kneel in front of you?"
Since he didn't want to affect her exam, he replied, "It's nothing. He's just a despicable person."
Soon, the first exam began, and Mia entered the examination hall. The two-hour exam was quite long, so William was bored. He asked Herman if
he wanted to go out for a walk, but Herman insisted on staying put.
William didn't force him either and went out of the campus alone.

The door of the dojo was open. The moment he entered, he saw a corridor with a

When he pushed the door open, he saw a large dojo and dozens of people
wearing white practice uniforms sitting neatly on the ground. Then, all of them
looked at him in unison.
Among them, a middle-aged man was sitting there. He was burly with thick finger joints, and he was also staring at him.
"Friend, you finally came! The middle-aged man stood up. He was at least 6'3 with high eyebrow bones. and thick, pointed eyebrows like a sword.
Stunned, William pointed at himself. "Are you talkito me?"

Hearing that, William felt strange. Has he heard of me? Why don't I recognize
