Chapter 91 Martial Patrol Brigade’s Vice–captain
The Barrett brothers eventually raised their own families, but Bryan wasn’t allowed to marry. The Barretts refused to pay for his marriage and forced him to work for them. Eventually, Bryan had enough. He wanted to be in control of his life, so he left the city and came to Halivaara. It was here he met Melisenna. They fell in love and started dating.
Melisenna’s parents were kind souls. They asked for no bridewealth and even got Bryan a house in the village. It was William’s old home. Since then, Bryan and Melisenna led a quiet life. Only after William was bom, Bryan returned to justford to visit the Barretts.
However, that meeting ended on a sour note. Ashton broke one of Bryan’s ribs, and Bryan’s adoptive parents tossed his gift out. Still, Bryan was grateful for them raising him. Thus, he insisted on visiting them every holiday. However, the Barretts still looked down on him and would mock him every time Bryan showed up. That was why he was always brooding whenever he returned from the visits.
A few years ago, a lot of the Barretts‘ houses were torn down, and they were given a handsome amount of compensation. After that, they looked down on Bryan even more, mocking him at every chance. William sighed after hearing the whole story. Dad sure had it hard. Just let the past go, Mom. If they want us there, we’ll be there.”
“I just don’t want them to mock you, Son
He smiled. “It’s alright. Don’t worry.” After he assured his mother, William headed out to pick Mia up Halfway to her school, he received a large of money from Kane. It was the fee for his help last time.
When he came home with Mia, he saw a few cars parked outside his house, and a few people in police attire were standing around. William stopped his car, and a burly man came up to him. He was in his thirties and had a sharp look in his eyes. The man knocked on William’s car door. “Are you William Barrett?”
“Yes. And who are you?” asked William.
The man sneered. “I’m Dickens Dicky, the vice/captain of the Martial Patrol Brigade. You are under arrest for battery.”
Vice–captain? Ah, yes. One of those thugs who made a ruckus at Micah’s restaurant did mention he had a friend in the Martial Patrol Brigade. This must be him. “Vice–captain, huh?” William sneered. “Touch me, and I’ll make sure you lose that post, chump.”
Furious, Dickens hissed, “Watch your tongue. I can take that as a threat. Get out of your car and put your hands on your head now.” He was already reaching for his gun. If William refused to follow orders, he would use violence. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
William frowned and opened the
door. “Mia, get inside.”
Mia was worried about her brother. Still, she did as she was told. Two cops quickly went ahead and turned William’s arms behind his back before putting a handcuff on him.
William narrowed his eyes and turned around, unleashing a surge of Qi from his body. The cops apprehending him didn’t notice it, but Dickens did, and he gasped. “You’re a Qi State master?!” He was shocked. There were only two Qi State masters in Halivaara. One was currently out of town. So, he’s the other one? He finally realized why his friends were still bedridden even now.
He took a deen breath and uncuffed William before staring at him “You stacked civilians. That was

too much, don’t you think?”
William sneered. “Your friends abused your position to harass other civilians. That was a bit too much, don’t you think?”
Dickens gritted his teeth. “I’ll tell them off, but please have mercy on them,” he negotiated. He wouldn’t raise his voice against a Qi State master, or William might ruin him.
William smiled. “Not going to arrest me anymore?”
“No. You can kill someone without leaving a trace behind. Honestly, I’m scared,” said Dickens.
William responded. “I don’t just kill anyone without a reason. As long as you don’t give me a reason to kill you, there’s no need to be afraid of me.”
Dickens then said, “Micah’s restaurant is open for business again. I’ll tell them to stop bothering him, so can we let bygones be bygones?”
William cocked his eyebrow. “Sure, but only after your friends kneel outside his restaurant for twelve hours and pay for all his damages,”
Dickens was mad upon hearing that. “That’s a bit too harsh, don’t you think?”
“If I truly wanted to be harsh, you’d be dead by now.” William cocked his eyebrow again.
Dickens quickly took a few steps back, gnashing his teeth. T’ll bring them to Micah tomorrow, but you must heal them first.”
“Sure,” said William. “Talk to Micah about the compensation.”
Dickens waved his hand, and his team got into their cars and left. Not long after that, Micah came looking all worried. “What happened, William? The Martial Patrol Brigade’s vice–captain came to apologize and even gave me forty–five hundred. He said you helped me out. How did this happen?”
William laughed and patted the other man’s shoulder. “It’s alright, Micah. Don’t worry.”
Micah smiled helplessly. “How can I not? His apology came so suddenly. It scared me to death!”
“No one bothered you since then, did they?”
Micah nodded. “Not since you helped me out. The business has been normal.”
“Good. Now, why don’t we have a drink or two?”
Micah waved his hands. “I’ll pass for now. I still have work to do. Next time, maybe.”
After seeing Micah off, William got a text from his class representative. After the graduation the next day. everyone was invited to the graduation dinner at Hotel Dragunity. Everyone would gather at 7.30PM.
William took a look and ignored the message. He didn’t need to join this dinner since he was already expelled. He probably wouldn’t have received the text if it weren’t for the fact that it had been sent to the group. That night, he tried to clear the blockade in his secondary meridians. In the meantime, he also practiced ten sets of the Holy Fist.
As promised. Dickens took the two thugs that William had beaten up to Micah’s restaurant the next

morning. He then asked William to go over to settle the matter.
The thugs were lying on gurneys. They looked gaunt, and their faces were sunken. Their lives were hell after William assaulted them. It was so unbearable that they would’ve taken their own lives if they could. The sight of William alone filled them with terror.
William approached them and patted their torsos. Then, the two heaved a sigh of relief soon after; the pain in their bodies was gone. They sat up and stared at William like he was a demon. Now, they knew for sure that William was the one who inflicted all the pain on them.
Dickens was dumbstruck, but he hid his look of shock and barked, “On your knees, scumbags!”
The thugs quickly went down on their knees.
William called Micah over. “Micah, make sure they don’t get up until noon. Call me if they do anything stupid.”
Micah nodded. He had no idea how William did this, but he wouldn’t refuse this offer.
Dickens bent over slightly. “I apologize for all the problems they’ve caused, and thank you for your help.”
William said, “Keep a close eye on them. They won’t get off with just a minor illness if they pull anything stupid again.”
