A Mortal's Medicinal Elixirs
Chapter 43 Jonathan in the Capital
Herman hastily called Mia over to answer the questions he had downloaded from the Internet.
Mia could remember every question very well, and whenever she answered correctly, the smile on Herman's face would broaden. After she gave the final answer, he said with a laugh, "If everything goes smoothly, you'll get full marks this time!"
"She'll get the first prize with full marks, right?" William asked.
Herman beamed as he replied confidently, "This is the first test, and there's a second test in the afternoon. The full mark for the first test is 120 points and 180 points for the second. So, it'll add up to a total of 300 points. Still, as long as the total points of both tests are over 250, she can get a pretty good ranking in the competition."
"Come on, let's find a place to get some rest, William said and checked into a five-star hotel nearby so that Mia could have some proper rest.
He also ordered room service and had lunch in the hotel. Once they were full, he continued to massage Mia's head to open up her meridians, heighten her focus and eliminate fatigue.
The second test, also known as the extra test, would start from 2.30PM until 5.20PM. Therefore, Mia went ahead and took the second rest after taking a good
rest.
The questions in this test were clearly more difficult than the first. As a result, she didn't submit her answer sheet ahead of time and only left the venue toward the very end.
"Mia, how did it go? Could you answer all of it?" Herman asked anxiously upon seeing her.
Mia nodded. "I answered all of them, Mr. Webber."
Just minutes ago, he had already found the questions on the Internet and cross- referenced them one by one. So, although she didn't get the full marks this time, she didn't lose many points and could probably score 175 out of 180 points.
Herman gasped in astonishment as he stared at the total score, "It's more than 290 points! She can definitely get first place in the competition with such an amazing result!"
00000:
An overjoyed William inquired, "Can she participate in the national competition if she gets first place?"
Herman nodded, grinning from ear to ear. "Actually, with Mia's current results, the top universities in the country would be eager to recruit her and have her in their ranks. However, I would suggest she continue participating in national competitions and the International Olympiads. Then, if she could get one of the important prizes in an International Olympiad, she could study at any top international school of her choice.
William nodded at his advice. "Okay, we'll see what she wants to do, then."
It was a happy day for all three of them, and they cheerily returned to the hotel. Since Herman had already fulfilled his duties, he decided to return to Halivaara the same night and left soon enough. Meanwhile, William and Mia wanted to tour the capital city for a few more days.
Before sunset, William brought Mia to visit Jonathan.

Chapter 43 Jonathan in the Capital
every square foot was about 80,000. Furthermore, Jonathan even owned five such properties consisting of twenty villas,
The enormous villa, with a floor area of more than 32,000 square feet, was where he was currently residing. When they were by the gate, they caught sight of a swimming pool and even a helipad. The villa itself had five floors and was the biggest one in Tranquil Bay. The estate had excellent scenery, boasting a fantastic mountain view and a calm yet tranquil lake view toward the south.
The car stopped directly in front of this villa, and a bald, middle-aged man in a tailored suit was already waiting for them at the door. The second William stepped out of the car, he came over briskly. "My buddy. you're finally here!"
Then. Jonathan gave William a bear hug as he laughed jovially.
You've gained weight, Jon, William pointed out with a smirk.
Jonathan rolled his eyes as he refuted, "You're the one who has gained weight." After that, he saw Mia, who had just gotten out of the car, and said with a smile, "Is she our sister?"
William nodded. "Mia, this is Big Jon."
"Nice to meet you. Big Jon, Mia grected obediently.
Another throaty chuckle escaped Jonathan's lips as he teased, "We have a pretty little sister. Thank goodness she's far prettier than you, Will
While they were ribbing each other, he didn't forget to lead William and Mia to the living room. Although the area was lavishly decorated, the living room was unexpectedly spacious, which made the place exude minimalistic charm.
Once they were comfortably seated, Jonathan ordered his servant to serve them tea. Then, he picked up a box from the side table and opened it. A diamond bracelet was nestled in the box; it gleamed beautifully. "Since this is our first time meeting. I don't have anything special here. But please accept this gift.
Still, William could tell that it was an expensive bracelet just with a glance. "Jon, that's a bit Costly, don't you think?" he said.
Jonathan waved away his concerns as he sighed, "She's my sister. You really shouldn't bring such nonsense to the table since it's my gift to our sister."
William chuckled in amusement and said to Mia, "Accept the gift then, Mia."
Mia nodded. "Thank you, Jon."
Jonathan beamed in approval and said, "My man, you're my savior, but I still couldn't repay you for such a debt until this day."
Back then, when William cured him of his illness, he didn't ask for anything in return. It was the same now as William simply chuckled and said, "It's not too late
for you to thank me now."
Jonathan released a long sigh as he explained, "I'm afraid I'm at the end of my
days and won't have the opportunity to thank you."
His words took William by surprise. "What happened?"

This time, Jonathan laughed sheepishly. "I offended a big-time gangster, and he
announced that he'll claim
life in three days!"
my
"Who is so bold as to say such a thing?" William asked with a frown.
"Wyatt Red Richards, Jonathan answered with a shrug. "He's a Qi State master."
William processed the information and replied, "It can't be that serious. Can't you just hire bodyguards? Price shouldn't be a problem for you."
Alas, Jonathan's shoulders slumped as he grumbled, "Of course I did, but the moment they heard that the opponent they were facing would be Wyatt Well, they turned down the offer almost immediately; they didn't even look at the price I offered! Besides, I haven't been able to hire any decent man until now. It definitely didn't help that Wyatt has also announced that whoever dares to
protect me will be his enemy."
"How did this happen?" William pressed.
Jonathan's lips curled into a mocking smile as he recounted his tale, "You can
say it's just my luck! Last week, the turf belonging to one of my men was wrecked. Then, I showed up with a few skilled men and gave
that person a good beating. Who would have guessed that he's Wyatt's nephew? That fellow even sent someone over to tell me that I should apologize in person. How could I? They were the ones at fault in the first place! So. I couldn't bring myself to apologize, forget showing my sincerity. In the end, I contacted a few influential government figures to broker a truce between us, but Wyatt was surprisingly aggressive and refused to play by the rules. After a few rounds of negotiations, everyone finally lost their patience, and he announced that he could only be appeased with my death."
William thought about it and said, "No one from the government could suppress
Wyatt?"
There are, but they look down on me and don't see a point in taking my side, Jonathan lamented with a sigh. "Besides, there are already some who are kicking me when I'm down after they figured there was no way I'd be able to wriggle myself out of this. It would be an understatement to say that they can't wait for
Wyatt to beat me to death."
"What do you plan to do?" William asked.

Jonathan took a long drag from his
cigarette and then blew out a puff of white smoke before muttering "hcan choose to leave the capital, but I've always lived my life dangerously, and I have a gang under my wing. I can't
leave them high and dry! So, I can only fight it out with him, and we'll see how that goes, I guess!" The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
"How strong is this Wyatt?" William shot him yet another question.

"As one of the four great lords of the Capital, he's highly influential. Definitely more powerful than me, at
least. His main businesses are m underground casino's, Illegal money
lending, and even antiquities, which is quite odd. Oh, right, the head of the
Martial Patrol Brigaded of the Capitol
is his sworn-in brother, and they have a very tight relationship. That's why he has the cheek to act so arrogantly despite being on the wrong side of the law." The content is

William nodded absent-mindedly as he had a pretty clear picture of the person in
his head. "In other words, you're not a match for him."
Jonathan smiled dangerously as he continued, "The life and death of a person
are already decided when they are born. We live, we die That doesn't bother me.
I just don't want to die cowering away from the likes of him, so I'd rather die in a blaze of glory!"
William gave him a thumbs up and assured him, "Jo, I can't interfere with that particular confrontation

and gave him a once-over before persuading. "Bro, are you kidding? Wyatt is a Qi State master. Such a

it. He gave the butler a wave, and the latter came over with a box containing a check inside. "Here's L5
million. It's not a lot of money. Just consider it as my appreciation for you." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
William's eyebrows shot up, "What's this money for?"
"You're just released from prison, and I reckon that you'll need money for almost everything, he replied calmly. This little bit of money is to help you out." William snorted in amusement as he teased, "You're still thinking about me even
though your days are almost over. I'll be lying if I said that I'm not touched, but I wasn't kidding. I'll take Wyatt on your behalf."
After he said that, he rose to his feet and simply flicked his wrist, seemingly swatting away an annoying insect. Yet, his actions created a mini tornado and
formed a vacuum; there was even a muffled booming noise followed by his movement.
This was the air-splitting palm technique that he had been practicing. Unfortunately, he had yet to open up his secondary meridians prior to this demonstration, so the power from this technique was considerably limited. Regardless, the power he displayed now was shocking, resulting in a sound
similar to a clap of thunder.
Jonathan was so startled that he jumped to his feet and cried out, "Damn it, you're really a master, bro! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? I've even
made my funeral arrangements already!"
