A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 99 The Sacred Insect

Aidan was already under a lot of stress, to begin with. Things were looking bad for the Wrights. Their assets had shrunk massively–they went from having billions to just a few hundred million. Furthermore, they had to deal with the pressure the Lloyds and Kane were putting on them. These two parties were William’s friends, so they did everything within their means to stomp on the Wrights.

Thus, after hearing what William wanted, Aidan glared icily at Zach.

Thanks to Aidan’s support, Zach managed to sign quite several renovation projects a while back. The projects were still ongoing and he stood to profit hundreds of thousands from them,

The look in Aidan’s eyes made Zach tremble. “Don’t listen to him, Aidan. It’s not as if he’s anyone. important. How would he be able to do anything to the Wrights?”

“Shut up!” Aidan snarled. “I no longer have a stake in Prosperity Villa. You won’t be involved in the project. any longer, and I won’t be able to give you the initial payment for the work you’ve already done.”

Zach was gob–smacked. I’m not getting paid? I mortgaged the house to get the funds to work on this project! “You can’t do this, Aidan!” he quickly exclaimed. “We’re good buddies-”

“When have we ever been buddies?! Aidan’s expression was cold and unrelenting. “From now on, don’t ever appear in front of me again! Leave! Get out of Justford, or else, you won’t even get a single cent!

Zach was shocked and furious; but he couldn’t lash our Aidan had him in a chokehold. If Aidan didn’t give him any payment at all, his entire family would be tossed out on the streets with nothing left.

He took a deep breath and said, “Fine! I’ll leave! I’ll leave Justford and go back to my county.”

Zach felt humiliated, but for the sake of the money, he dared not protest. He walked off, but not without glaring at William with his bloodshot eyes first.

William abruptly stopped him and asked, “Did you just glare at me?”

Zach’s heart skipped a beat. “I didn’t!” he hastily fired back before hightailing it

Once he was gone, Aidan turned to William and said, “William, there’s no reason for us to be enemies.”

“My enemy, huh? You’re not worthy to be that yet, William declared curtly. “Go and take a seat at the back. I don’t want to see you.”

Aidan clenched his jaw and headed to the back row, making sure he was out of William’s sight.

Queenie and Tanner who were sitting nearby saw the whole thing and were stupefied. What’s going on? Why is Aidan so afraid of William?

“Is William holding something over Aidan?” Queenie muttered.

Tanner nodded. “It’s possible. Otherwise, why would someone as rich as him be scared of William?”
