After the treatment, Danny looked visibly weakened, as if he had aged rapidly over a matter of hours. As. such, William requested one of Danny's subordinates to prepare the medicine for him as William was rather concerned about Danny's health.
While they waited for the medicine to be served, Danny asked William, "Mr. Barrett, should I continue using the old method to practice the elixir field to reach the Innate Realm?"
William reassured him, "The path to attaining the Innate Realm, also known as the Foundation Realm, is a meticulous and time-consuming process. Don't worry. I'll provide you with appropriate guidance when the time comes."
Danny was grateful when he heard that and thanked William profusely, "Thank you! I really appreciate it!"
William went on to explain, "Advancing to the Innate Realm can prolong your life for several decades, but whether you can advance further depends on your destiny."
Danny could not be more excited at the possibility of advancing further. "Are you saying that I might have a chance to advance to the Warrior King Realm?"
William nodded, "Perhaps, but to be honest, the chance is slim."
Danny sighed as if he knew that he was getting too excited for nothing. Although he was slightly disappointed, he quickly regained his composure and turned to William. "What was I thinking? I have to admit that was wishful thinking. After all, there are only a handful of Warrior Kings in the world. Nevertheless, I'll be content with attaining the Innate Realm. I'll show you my gratitude if I can safely advance to that stage.
Soon after, the medicine containing a precious thousand-year ginseng ingredient was ready to be served. William wasted no time in instructing Danny to drink it immediately. This would ensure that the medicinal properties of the ginseng were fully absorbed by Danny's body.
He then proceeded to guide Danny on the secret methods of advancing to the Innate Realm after Danny had fully recuperated. This time, Danny was able to re-enter the Innate Realm in just over ten minutes under William's guidance, and he experienced something completely eye-opening the moment he was immersed in the Realm. He opened his eyes slowly before exclaiming, "So, this is what the Innate Realm is likel
William realized that it was time for him to take his leave now that Danny had successfully entered the Realm. So, he rose to his feet and said, "Alright, it's time for me to go. The rest is up to you."
Danny beckoned to his subordinate, who took out a check and handed it to Danny. Danny gave it to William and said, "Consider this a small token of my appreciation."
William glanced at the check for 3 million Talons and accepted it without hesitation with a nod of gratitude toward Danny. "Thank you. Don't hesitate to contact me if you face any issues with the Realm in
the future.
Danny walked him downstairs to the door. As he was seeing William off, one of his followers approached him and suggested in a hushed voice, "Master Shane, since this person is of no further use, perhaps we should-

Danny did not even let the follower finish his sentence before delivering a hard slap, leaving a huge red hand mark on the follower's cheek. He looked at the follower condescendingly and sneered, "Since when. did you get to make decisions?"
The follower covered his mouth with his hand; the force of the slap was so strong that blood trickled down his face. He was gripped with fear that Danny would punish him further, so he quickly kneeled and begged, "I'm sorry, Master Shane. I didn't mean it like that. Please forgive me. I am truly sorry?
Danny continued to stare down at the follower with his expression devoid of compassion. He warned, "Listen to what I'm about to say carefully as you won't be so lucky next time to be saved by a mere
sternly slap: Mr. Barrett is a skilled physician, and making him your enemy is the last thing you want. Instead, you should make an effort to befriend him. That could mean the difference between life and death for you!"
William visited Sherika since he figured he had some time to burn after leaving the hotel. Although Sherika could walk again, she still required treatment as some of her nerves had not fully healed. Oakley was also present, having been waiting for William since early in the morning.
After William treated both of them, Sherika invited him for lunch, to which he agreed readily. Unfortunately, he received a call from Tia just as he was about to take the first bite. Nevertheless, he still answered the call.
"William, those people who visited yesterday are here again. They claim to have some good stuff for us," Tia informed him.
William furrowed his brow as he sensed that something was amiss. "That's strange. They should have realized that we saw through their scheme after what happened yesterday. Why would they return?"
Tia replied, Tm not sure, but they gave us a painting and I had it verified-it's authentic."
William furrowed his brows. "That's even more odd. What could their intentions be?"
"Well, that's what I'm uncertain about," Tia admitted. "Could I trouble you to pay us a visit? I have no idea what those people have up their sleeves."
"Sure, I can come over. I'll be right there," William said before ending the call. He sighed, realizing he wouldn't have time to eat now, but he still quickly made his way to the Lloyd Residence.
A middle-aged man was seen sitting in the living room with Turner, who was holding a painting and admiring it, at the Cloudcap Manor.
As the middle-aged man looked up, he saw William approaching them, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. Nonetheless, the coldness went unnoticed as it was quickly replaced by a warm smile. He gestured at Turner and asked, "Who is this gentleman?"
"Oh, this is my friend, Mr. William," Tia replied in her father's stead,
William nodded to the middle-aged man and smiled. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I heard that a new painting has arrived, so I could not help but come uninvited to admire it in its glory. The name's William, by the way." Turner quickly handed the painting over to William. "William, here it is. What do
you think of it?"
He examined the painting and was able to confirm that it was indeed Rembrandt's The Night Watch. As he gained a new ability after obtaining divine senses, he was able to feel the special artistic conception emanating from the painting, regardless of his limited knowledge of paintings-the drama and tension

created by Rembrandt, who used striking colors to connote the interplay of light and shadow. Yet, he also noticed something within the painting scroll. After he took another glance at the painting with his divine senses, William confirmed that something was amiss with the painting. Regardless, he chose to keep his thoughts to himself and replied to Turner as if he hadn't noticed anything. "This is indeed Rembrandt's painting. I'm amazed."
Then, he turned to the middle-aged man and asked if he had any other paintings
by Rembrandt. The man replied nonchalantly, "Well, I do have many other authentic paintings."
William feigned jealousy and nodded in agreement. Things like authentic paintings... It's always the more, the merrier. Don't you think so?"
The middle-aged man cracked a smile, thinking that he had successfully lured
William in. "Well then, lucky for you. I'm giving you The Night Watch, and I'll be sending more good stuff over." He bid farewell and left before William could ask more questions.
As soon as Turner ensured the middle-aged man was out of sight, he returned
inside. That was when William started examining the painting carefully and discovered a hidden mechanism in the painting scroll. He quietly opened the mechanism and found a small black bug hidden inside. He gestured for Turner to keep quiet, took a closer look at the bug, and then carefully placed it back where
it was originally
located.
William motioned for Turner and Tia to follow him to another room. Once they were alone, he sneered, "These people are plotting to harm the Lloyds."
Turner was curious about those people's real intentions. "What do they want from
us? Money?"
William shook his head. "I don't think it's that simple. After all, they're even using
a bug to eavesdrop on
1. US.
Tia pondered for a moment before chiming in her thoughts, "They placed a bug, which means that they want to know what we're discussing behind closed doors. Perhaps the Jenkins is behind this? It fits their modus operandi." William immediately thought of Danny after hearing Tia out. He immediately called Danny on the spot. Then, when Danny picked up the call, he explained the

situation and asked, "Did you do this?"
Danny denied it instantly. "Mr. Barrett, you have to believe me. I promised you
that I'll keep my hands.
and I'm sure that my people will do the same."
William replied, "Investigate the matter for me, then." It turned out that William's
real intention in calling Danny was to ask him for help, rather than accuse him of
placing the bug.
Danny seemed to have noticed that as well. He merely sighed but still agreed to investigate this matter. "Alright, I'll have news for you within half an hour."
Tia and Turner were listening in when William was conversing with Danny. So, after he hung up the phone, she asked, "Whom could it be if it's not Danny?" William thought for a moment. As he combed through the ordeal, he realized he missed out something. "Tia, you
said that the group of people was introduced by your friend. Who's that friend?" Tia replied, "My best friend. We have a close relationship, so I don't think she has

"But how did she know those people?"
"According to her, she bought a few antiques from them. That was how she knew
them."

It was a perfect answer, and William did not sense anything fishy from it. "I guess
we can only wait for Danny to get back to us now."
Danny's call came earlier than expected, and his tone was solemn as he shared some bad news. "The Lloyds are being targeted by the Greedy Wolf."
"The Greedy Wolf? Who are they?" William asked as he furrowed his brows in
confusion.

"The Greedy Wolf is also known as the Hall of Greedy Wolf. It is an organization that specializes in using drugs to control people's minds. They are likely planning to control the core figures of the Lloyd Family using these drugs and manipulate them into transferring all their assets to the Greedy Wolf. That's how they usually work, Danny explained solemnly. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
William, Tia, and Turner were all shocked by the Greedy Wolf's underhanded
tactics. William even exclaimed in disgust, "What a bunch of audacious and lawless sh theads."

Danny utioned, "Be extremely vigilant
when dealing with them, Mr. Barrett. They are different from us. We may be frauds, but we never resort to om using force or drugs to harm others.
The Greedy Wolf, on the other hand,
is notorious for using any means necessary to achieve their goals. They have a Grandmaster and several Divine Realm Masters on
their paycheck, and you are clearly outnumbered. I suggest that you don't engage in direct conflict with
the organization." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

Danny's words took William aback. "Did you just say don't engage in a direct
conflict?"

"Yes, direct conflict. But you can send
them a message on behalf of the Lloyds, telling them that you're aware

of their presence. They may give up targeting the Lloyds once they are
wary of your skills." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
