Chapter 113 A Prophecy
William nodded. “To break the deadlock, you must transfer the shares to Tia and Turner as soon as possible. It will disrupt their plans completely
Theodore gritted his teeth and asked, “Mr. Barrett, can you prove that Keith is not my biological son?”
Knowing that Theodore still had some doubts, William nodded. “It’s easy to determine whether he’s your biological son. Have you heard of paternity tests through blood drops?”
Theodore was surprised. “Isn’t that method unscientific?”
William smiled as he explained. The portrayal of blood tests in movies and TV shows is often inaccurate. Bring Turner here, and I’ll show you how it works.”
Theodore asked his butler to call Turner over.
Unaware of what was happening, the nervous Turner cautiously walked into the room and asked, “Dad, did you call me?”
William said. “Uncle Lloyd, I need a drop of your blood.”
Using his nail, he cut Turner’s right index finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. He held the droplet in mid–air using his Qi before collecting the blood from Theodore. Holding both drops of blood in his palm, he suspended them about three to five centimeters
apart.
Then, he chanted a string of spells. The two drops of blood suddenly moved slightly and gradually spun faster. After half a minute, they suddenly merged into one drop of blood, which instantly evaporated a large amount of moisture and condensed into a blood crystal about the size of a grain of rice.
He held the blood crystal and said, “This is the proof of kinship through blood.”
Turner was amazed and asked, “What is this, William?”
Theodore’s eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “Mr. Barrett, you are truly remarkable!” He kindly patted Turner’s shoulder and said, “You can go now, Turner.”
Turner left in confusion, and Keith was summoned shortly after.
Theodore let out a soft sigh and addressed Keith, “After much consideration, I have decided to follow the advice of that wise man and summon you here to begin preparations for taking over the Lloyd Corporation.”
Keith’s eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “Dad, you can count on me! I will take great care of the Lloyd Corporation!”
As he was talking, he suddenly felf a sharp pain in his fingertip, as if a small blood vessel had been cut by something. Fresh blood started to drip onto the ground. Exclaiming, he quickly grabbed his injured hand before staring angrily at Williant and questioning, “Master Barrett, what are you doing?”
William shrugged. “I’m sorry, I was using a flying needle to kill a mosquito. I didn’t expect to injure you.”
With a heavy snort, Keith told Theodore, “Dad, I’ll bandage my hand and come back later.”

Theodore to continue the paternity blood test.
This time, the two drops of blood also floated in the air, but they could not merge for a long time. Puff! The two drops of blood exploded simultaneously when they approached and transformed into two black smoke that dissipated into the air.
Theodore asked. “Mr. Barrett, what does this mean?”
“It means that you have no blood relation and that your blood can’t merge or even come close to each other,” William replied.
Theodore sighed deeply before taking out his phone and dialing a number. “Mr. Richter, please come to Cloudcap Manor as soon as possible. I need to transfer the shares to my family. After hanging up the phone, he turned to William and bowed sincerely, “Mr. Barrett, I am truly grateful to you. I promise to repay you generously.
William waved his hand. I’m Tia’s friend, so it’s my duty to help. You can rest here. I’ll stay with you.”
Without uttering another word, he sat down and began practicing Tathagata’s Breathing Technique. After reaching the stage of Qi Ascension, his by technique evolved from what it was before. With each
inhalation and exhalation, he not only cultivated Qi but also his spiritual consciousness.
At that moment, he visualized a divine light in his sea of consciousness. The light expanded and contracted in a way that was difficult to describe. As he delved deeper into his practice, he lost all sense of time. Only when he opened his eyes did he realize two hours had passed.
A middle–aged man entered the room with Tia and Turner to facilitate the transfer of power within the Lloyd Corporation, which involved legal formalities. Naturally, Turner and Tia were shocked when they learned of Theodore’s plan.
William said, “You need to act quickly.” Then, he sat outside the door as he knew that Keith was likely already aware of Theodore’s plan and that a fierce battle would ensue tonight.
As expected, Ruby and Keith arrived with five martial arts experts in less than ten minutes. Since the five individuals were fresh faces, Keith likely had prepared them in advance. He glared coldly at William. “Master Barrett, you better step aside!”
William replied calmly, “And if I don’t?”
“Then, you’ll die!” An old man in gray clothes stepped forward. His face was pale and had a zombie–like appearance, emitting a cold aura.
“You sure talk big!” A voice rang out, and Brandon emerged from William’s side.
Before starting his meditation, William had texted Brandon and asked him to come quickly. As such, Brandon arrived earlier and had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to reveal himself.
“Yoju Mortimer, the Copper Corpse! I’ve heard a lot about your powerful and mysterious Great Yin Force. It’s a pleasure to finally experience it firsthand!”
The old man in gray clothing was none other than Yoju Mortimer, a Divine Realm Master, known as the Copper Corpse. He was remembered for his strong and formidable Great Yin Force.
Yoju sneered. “Brandon, you dare to meddle in my affairs?”

Brandon chuckled. “Well, I sure do!”
The two stood firm with their breaths locking onto each other.
A second person emerged at that moment. He was a man in his forties dressed in Taoist robes with a long beard and a sword on his back. The atmosphere surrounding him was as sharp as a sword, causing people to shudder. He had to be a skilled swordsman.
“The Wudeng sect’s Allen Mason,” the Thoist spoke softly. Ilis seemingly peaceful gaze concealed a hidden killing intent as he looked toward William.
“Hey, thick–headed, do you dare to fight me?” A beautiful figure of a high school girl emerged from William’s side. It was Scarlet!
William smiled. “Well, that was quick.”
She chuckled. “I hurried over as soon as I got the call. Just look at my shoes. They’re all worn out now.”
He was speechless. Who told you to walk here?”
She answered seriously, “Walking is faster, and I didn’t have to take a detour.”
Knowing the potential danger of the night, William had informed her in addition to calling Brandon. She had rushed over as soon as she received the call, trekking through mountains and valleys without even taking a car.
Scarlet’s appearance brightened the middle–aged Taoist’s eyes as he said, “Such a powerful sword aura! You’re an excellent swordsman!”
Scarlet arched her brows. “Which is precisely why you need to watch out for me!”
At the sight of two martial arts experts appearing successively behind William, Keith became anxious as this was not the script he had planned. He waved impatiently. “Everybody, kill him!”
Hearing that, the other three martial arts experts encircled William. Two were Qi Ascension masters while one was a Qi Emanation expert.
