The two returned to the rest area. When Turner saw Tia’s bright expression, he knew that things had. turned out well. He hastily got up and asked, “Barrett, Tia, how did it go?”

Tia smiled and replied. “We picked out three ores, and we spent below 20 thousand in total. Try guessing how much the revealed stones were worth.”
Turner was stunned to hear that they spent only 20 thousand. A little disappointed, he asked, “Can they be worth 100 thousand at least?”
“Il million, not including an uncut stone, announced Tia.
Everyone was shaken. 20 thousand turning into II million? It was over 500 times the initial investment!
“Really?” Turner asked with a shocked expression.
“I’ve already bought the ores. Dad, quick, write a check. It’s 16.5 million in total.”
Turner immediately wrote a check right then and there, then passed it to William.
William wasn’t shy either as he took the check and gave it a flick. “I’m giving the uncut stone to you as a free gift.
Tia said smilingly, “Thank you!”
William had proved his capabilities, so Turner and Tia had no reason to be anxious anymore. When the time was right, they would advance into the southern part and wage war!
Turner wanted to treat William to a meal afterward, but the latter declined. He had so many things to do that he simply didn’t have time to dine with a bunch of middle–aged people.
When they parted ways, Tia said, “Watch out for Shane. If you need help, I can send out professionals to help you.”
William replied calmly, “It’s not necessary at the moment. Thanks for seeing me off. Goodbye.”
He started up his Audi S5, then drove away. Tia watched him drive into the distance, remaining still, while Turner patted his daughter on the shoulder. Tia, have you fallen for him?”
Instead of answering directly, Tia glanced at her father briefly. “Dad, it’s Grandpa’s birthday today. I’m thinking of giving him that imperial ice jade as a present. You should also tell him about the contract concerning Prosperity Villa. It’s a huge project, and we need the strength of the Lloyd Family
Turner’s eyes lit up. “Sure!”
William was in an extremely good mood, so he drove a little faster as well. He was planning how he should spend the 16.5 million he had just received.
The further he advanced in the Way of Heaven and Earth, the more difficult his cultivation would be. Precious medicinal items would be required more often than not, so the 16.5 million might seem like a lot but it actually wasn’t the case. Perhaps purchasing medicinal herbs once or twice would be enough to deplete the money.

so he would have to use up even more resources than others.
“After I’ve cleared the second phase, I can start learning some amazing cultivation methods,” he said to himself.
The Way of Heaven and Earth was a foundation that trained the basics. If he wanted to engage in combat, he would have to learn specialized combat techniques. So, some cultivation methods which were attached at the end would fall under that category. There were the Iron Sand Palm. Vermillion Sand Palm, Impenetrable Defense, Iron Skin, and the like. The Hidden Poison he demonstrated before was one of them as well.
Hidden Poison was relatively easier to cultivate. Techniques like the Iron Sand Palm would require one to wash their hands with precious medicinal herbs, and the Impenetrable Defense required him to bathe his body in medicinal water. Of course, it would use up a large amount of precious medicinal herbs in the
process.
After the rushed journey, he finally returned to Halivaara by sundown. There was a traffic light junction ahead of him, and he only had to turn left after the junction to reach home.
A silver Audi RS7 was in front of him. It was pricier than his Audi S5 by 2 million.
The two were both waiting to turn left at the junction. A few cars were lined up behind William’s, and only the RS7 was in front of him. Just then, he saw through the rearview mirror that a cement tanker was speeding at them. There were less than 100 yards between the cement tanker and the last car, but it showed no signs of slowing down.
He immediately turned around to look. His vision was extremely good, so even from a distance, he could see that the driver of the tanker had reddened eyes as the latter glared furiously ahead.
Shocked, he honked as hard as he could, but the person in the car in front of him didn’t catch his drift.
Left with no choice, he saw that the tanker was still closing in, so he floored the gas pedal. His car began moving forward, forcing the front car along.
The driver in front was startled when they felt their car being prodded. They kept moving forward and finally stopped when they had moved dozens of yards in front.
The driver was a young woman, and her daughter was sitting in the back seat. She was both shocked and furious, and she got out of the car as soon as her car stopped.
She was about to start shouting when her expression changed, for she saw the cement tanker maniacally bulldozing the cars behind them. One car was stuck in between two larger ones, and it was completely crushed! The driver and passengers definitely couldn’t survive that!
The other 4 cars were also in danger. They were pushed toward a row of cars opposite them, and with a loud crash, the long line of cars ran into each other in a chain reaction.
After destroying countless cars, the tanker finally stopped, and its front was ruined beyond recognition.
The scene was thrown into chaps. Some people were crying, while others were shouting for help. Some cars were even on fire, and it was a dire situation.
The woman was shocked to the core. At the same time, she realized that William was trying to save her just now. Before she could convey her thanks, William was already dashing toward a burning car with a fire extinguisher in his hands.

Chapter 29 Chain Accident
The small car was completely twisted out of shape. There was a young woman inside with her child of around 8 years old sitting next to her. The two were crying while the front of their car burned.
William aimed the fire extinguisher at the vehicle and sprayed its contents in a frenzy. After the fire was put out, he grabbed the car door and released an explosion of spiritual energy. With a bang, the distorted car door was torn off its hinges.

The woman was all right, but the boy was injured. His left leg was broken and squeezed by the metal frame, so he couldn’t get out.
The woman begged while sobbing. “Save my son, please, save my son”
William could only comfort her, saying, “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.”
He reached inside, and with a slap, he managed to push the curled metal frame away. Then, he slowly carried the boy out.
A kind soul rushed over and took the child. Then, more people joined in to help. Some of them called the police, whereas others rescued the victims. Just then, someone shouted, “Look out! It is moving again!”
William looked up to see that the tanker driver in the distance was trying to start the engine again. Furious, he immediately dashed over and tore the door off, then reached out and grabbed one of the driver’s legs, dragging the driver out.
The driver roared maniacally, but after receiving two slaps from William, he passed out.
William ignored him and continued rescuing the other victims. There were too many injured people, and a lot of them were trapped in the cars. They had to be rescued as soon as possible, or their lives would be at stake.
With a glance, he activated his third eye and picked out the more severely injured people to rescue. There were about a dozen people who matched the description. Every time he rescued one of them, he would use the Golden Needle to stop the bleeding. Those who had broken bones were given something to affix their bones to. Internal bleeding was temporarily stopped by some techniques to halt the pulse.
His methods were accurate, and his speed was amazing. When the ambulances arrived, he had already rescued all the severely injured people.
William turned into an expert in taking cars apart. He had torn off dozens of car doors, and because he had spent too much of his energy and depleted most of his spiritual energy, he was drenched in sweat.
The lady who drove the RS7 also participated in the rescue, and she kept focusing on William. She realized that all the severely injured people were saved by William, and the latter also knew something about medicine, for he helped stop the bleeding and fix the broken bones. His actions were lightning–fast; and it was as marvelous as magic.
She was filled with curiosity. Who exactly is he?
When more people came to help, William turned around and left discreetly. However, a woman blocked his path. It was the female driver he had pushed dozens of yards forward.
The woman was in her early 20s, and she looked very pretty.
It was only then that he remembered he had rammed into her car. He hastily said, “Sorry, I’ll give you money for the repair fees

“No one’s asking you for money.” The woman smiled and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would’ve gotten into an accident like them. I’m coming here to thank you.”
Shes thanking me. Aue! William grinned. “No problem.”
He waved, then got into his own car and got ready to leave.
The woman hastily stepped forward and said, “Can I have your number? I want to treat you to a meal
sometime.
William thought about it a little, then told her his number.
“Goodbye. He stepped on the gas pedal and drove into the distance.
The woman stood where she was, stunned for a moment, then got into her own car as well. A little girl of about 2 years old was sitting in the back seat. She behaved very well and didn’t cry or make a fuss.
The woman said gently. “Let’s go home, dear.”
The car started up and started moving slowly. When William arrived home, he realized that his clothes. were all dirty, and he was sweating all over. Therefore, he hastily went to take a shower.
When Gwendolyn saw him like that, she asked curiously, “William, what happened to you?”
William replied, “I ran into an accident and saved dozens of people.” With that, he dashed into the bathroom.
Just then, Mia turned on her phone and said, “Gwen, look. A large–scale accident happened not long ago.”
There was a live feed airing on the news. More than 50 people were injured in the accident. 13 of them. were gravely hurt, and 3 people died on the spot. Fortunately, none of the injured were in mortal danger. The police had currently blocked off the section, and the suspect was detained as well.
At the scene of the accident, a lanky policewoman was inspecting the scene. Beside her was a plump middle–aged man.
The policewoman scanned the records and said in surprise, “Sir, there are a lot of severely injured people, but save for the ones in the crushed car, none of them died.”
“Yes, very peculiar indeed,” the middle–aged man commented calmly.
Just then, someone ran over to them with a phone, which was playing the local road surveillance footage.
The middle–aged man watched it for a while, then disbelief colored his face as he said, “What extreme power!”
