A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 32 The Peak of Evergreen Park

Though the intense battle might have been short–lived, William had actually gone all out, and he was now feeling somewhat spent. Hence, he turned in right after giving the Zuches instructions.

After daybreak, Gwendolyn brought some breakfast to William, who ate a bit of everything, then asked, “Have you guys beard from the Johns?”

The young woman nodded at that. “Kyle has a son who came with a mediator, saying he’s willing to compensate us for three million, and after that, we’re even.”

“He wants to compensate us when we’ve killed his father?” William was baffled.

To that, Gwendolyn explained, “This is how things are. The one with the iron fist makes the rules. Kyle’s son isn’t adept in martial arts, but he has the brains for doing business. He’s probably thinking of ending the feud with money because he’s worried we’ll kill him too.”

William nodded in agreement. “Since things here are pretty much settled, it’s time I head home.”

“Let me go with you, suggested Gwendolyn while nodding, “We’re taking Grandpa too.”

Just like that, the pair, Walter, and Melisenna headed back to Halivaara, with William driving. He first dropped the Zuches at their mansion before sending Melisenna home.

As the door opened, a letter dropped from the crack. When William picked it up, he was able to read the content through the envelope, which only consisted of one line, ‘3.00PM. Peak of Evergreen Park‘ and a signature, ‘Shane Salisbury‘

Has he come to me because he wants me to save him or because he has found someone to kill me? Either way, this has to be dealt with since he has come to my doorstep. And it’s also time I put an end to my feud with the Salisburys.

“Mom, since Mia’s at Grandpa and Grandma’s, why don’t we just eat there? I kinda miss Grandma’s cooking,” he said suddenly, rendering Melisenna somewhat frustrated. “Alright, fine, it’s your call. We’ll go. after I clean the place up a bit.

Half an hour later, William drove to his maternal grandparents‘ place. As he knew his grandfather, Austin Zahl, was into things like bracelets, he got the elder a lava stone one.

Austin might be seventy years old, but he was in the pink, for he loved joining bingo games when he was free.

When the elder saw the present William got, he was so happy that he insisted the young man have a drink with him.

Melisenna was the only child in the Zahl family, so the couple spoiled William since he was a kid. In fact, it was almost always Austin who gave William his allowances when the young man was still in school, and William even grew up in Austin’s place.

William’s paternal grandparents/were still around, but he rarely visited them. In fact, his father, Bryan, would be the only one to visit the elders during the holidays. However, Bryan would always come home

livid.

Later, Bryan died, and William was sent to prison. However, neither elder ever visited. Hell, they never even called, and it made William disappointed with the Barrett elders.
