A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

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.

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.

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
