Chapter 120 The Uncle From the Zuch Family
"Haha! Congratulations, Brandon!" William gave him his best wishes.
Brandon laughed as well. "This is all thanks to you, William."
He was referring to the Dragon Style Breathing Technique that William taught him.
William then announced, "Now that you've finally broken through, I can relax."
He got up, ready to leave, but Brandon hurriedly stopped him. "Wait, don't leave yet. I'll ask Kane to prepare a few dishes. We should have a drink."
William waved his hands. "It's alright. Maybe another day. I've got some things to attend to."
So, Brandon didn't force it anymore and saw William out the door. He took a look at the car he was driving and realized it was Kane's Mercedes-Benz W140. Then, he immediately turned toward Kane and said. "Kane, this car's too old. Give that BMW M8 of yours to William."
Kane acknowledged his order and asked a servant to bring the keys and said laughingly. I'm sorry, Mr. Barrett. It's my fault. The W140 was a second-hand car I bought 10 years ago. I kept driving it because I'm sentimental. It indeed doesn't match your age and status."
Then, he passed the keys to William and pointed to a black sapphire M8 not far in the distance. "That car was gifted by a friend, but I'm not used to driving it. So, it's yours now,"
William gladly accepted the keys. "Thanks. I'll transfer the money to you later for the car.
Suddenly, Kane exclaimed, "Mr. Barrett, that's too much! It's just a car. I can't accept your money."
Brandon also chimed in. "William, we don't talk about money."
Since they were being so generous, William dropped the subject. He got in the M8 which immediately felt different just sitting in it and lightly stepped on the accelerator. The car immediately launched forward with its powerful engine and it reached 60 mph within 4 seconds.
Once William returned to One Prosperity, he went to the study to continue buying stocks of Oceania Media. The stock market had been sluggish these few days, so he bought the stocks at prices around 50
cents.
Just as he confirmed the purchase, Gwendolyn called him. "William, are you still in Justford?"
William answered, "What's up, Gwendolyn?"
She replied, "My uncle returned home. I'm thinking of bringing him over to see if you can treat him."
William was surprised. He didn't know that she had an uncle. So, he asked, "What's wrong with your
uncle?"
Gwendolyn explained, "He was badly injured three years ago and has been receiving treatment in the Tribal Summit ever since
His condition worsened recently, and they said there was no other way. So, they sent him back for us to spend some time together for the last time... Her voice cracked toward the end.
He immediately agreed. I'm in Justford. Bring him to me."

She was elated. "Okay. We'll come over right now."
In Kreim, Cooper, Jordan, and Walter were in the Zuch Residence. Beside them were Gwendolyn and her cousin. Max Zuch.
They were all surrounding a man who seemed to be in his thirties. He was handsome, but his face was pallid with a hollow check.
The man coughed with a pained expression and said, "Are you guys looking for another doctor for me? Lucian's Dark Thunder Fist is incurable. Stop wasting your time."
Gwendolyn hurriedly replied, "Uncle Kiran, it'll work this time. William's medical skills are extraordinary
"Better than Tribal Summit's Dr. Hickson?" the man, Kiran Zuch, questioned abruptly.
She was at a loss for words. Fred Hickson was a prominent divine doctor from the Tribal Summit. No one dared to claim that their medical skills were better than
his.
Walter then chimed in. "Kiran, William's skills are really good. What's the harm in trying?"
Kiran looked at Walter before sighing. "Alright. Let's go then."
Then, he raised an eyebrow and stared at Gwendolyn. "Gwen, I heard from Owen that you haven't been contacting him recently. You didn't even answer his
calls."
She ducked her head and said, "Uncle Kiran, we've broken up. We're not a good match."
Kiran introduced Owen Hawkins to Gwendolyn a year ago and they got together. He was a martial arts genius from the Tribal Summit with a bright future.
Since Owen was introduced by Kiran, her uncle, Gwendolyn didn't resist him. They met once and kept in touch on the phone ever since. However, Owen was obsessed with learning martial arts and stayed in the Tribal Summit most of the time, resulting in them only ever meeting twice.
Gwendolyn was indifferent about Owen. She only tried to get along with him because Kiran introduced him to her.
Then, she met William and started to like him after spending time with him. Shortly after that, she broke up with Owen.
Technically, it wasn't considered a breakup because they were never really together. It was all arranged by
Kiran.

When Kiran heard they broke up, his face turned even paler. "Owen is a good man with a bright future. You will affect his mental state in martial arts by
breaking up with him."
However, Gwendolyn was firm on this matter and stated, "Uncle Kiran, I hope to
make my own decision on this."
Kiran sighed. "You've grown up and have a mind of your own. Tell me, do you
have someone you like?"
She lightly bit her lips and muttered, "Yes."
"Who is he?" Kiran questioned.

Suddenly, Walter let out a cough and piped in. "This was my doing. Mr. Barrett is
a Qi State master with excellent medical skills. I think he's a good match with
Gwen."
Kiran shut his eyes. "Dad, you asked Gwen to approach that person just because
he's a doctor that might be
able to save me?"
Walter didn't deny it and stated lightly, "I won't give up even if there's only a silver
of hope."
"Dad, are you mad?!" Kiran opened his eyes. "No one can treat my injury. This
isn't fair to Gwen too."

However, Gwendolyn spoke up. "Uncle Kiran, that's not it. At first, hdid th approach William because I wanted
to ask him to treat you, but I've really fallen for him now." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

Walter added, "Kiran. I'm not mad. No
matter how promising of a future
com
that Owen boy has, wen doesn't like NO him. Besides, I feel he's heartless and
too full of himself. He's not the one for her." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
Kiran showed no intention of continuing this discussion and merely said, "Fine.
Let's get ready to leave for Justford."
Even though he didn't believe that William could save him, he still didn't want to
disappoint his family. So, he agreed.
Soon, two cars were on their way to Justford with Max and Gwendolyn in the first
car while Kiran sat in the second car.
Now that there were no elders around them, Max asked, "Gwen, is Dr. Barrett
really that good?"
She nodded. "Of course. He helped with my cultivation problems and also
Grandpa's breakthrough to the
next realm."
Max's eyes lit up. "Really? Then, can I ask him to help me get to the next level
too?"
Gwendolyn rolled her eyes at him as she knew him too well. "With that lazy bum
of yours, even the gods can't help you.
He laughed bitterly. "Am I really as bad as you say, Gwen?"
They continued to chat when he suddenly turned serious. "Gwen, if you're going
to be with Dr. Barrett, you've got to watch out for Owen."
She frowned. "Why?"

Then, he explained, "I know Owen
better than you do. He's got a strong m background and is regarded as genius in the Tribal Summit, so he's
full of himself and has his nose up in the air. If you go out with Dr. Barrett, he's sure to give him a hard time." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
Gwendolyn's heart dropped at that. "Are you certain?"
