A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs
Chapter 79 Respect for the Doctor
At White Summit Estate in Mount Greenford, a three–story bamboo building stood tall. It was the ancestral home of the White Family, covering thousands of acres with exquisite architecture and charm.

In the bamboo building, an elderly man with white hair suddenly sat up from his bed, spitting out a mouthful of blood before falling back onto the bed with pale face. Several men stood by his bed, including Jesse and Jaxson, their expressions changing when they saw the old man cough up blood.
“Father!” Jesse panicked and turned to a black–bearded old man standing nearby. “Mr. Mordred, what’s going on? You said that as long as my father takes the blood fungus, his injuries will heal. But now, he’s coughing up blood again!”
Mordred’s expression turned ugly. He had never used blood fungus before and had only learned about its medicinal properties from ancient texts. He didn’t expect that there would still be other medicinal properties in the blood fungus that would enhance the toxicity of the snake venom. He gritted his teeth and muttered, “Blood fungus is the divine herb of legends. I was careless. I didn’t realize that blood fungus might have other properties that would enhance the venom’s toxicity.”
Jesse was stunned, and he suddenly remembered what William had said that the blood fungus would aggravate his father’s injuries. “Does that mean he is really a skilled physician?” he muttered to himself.
Jesse, what are you talking about?” Jaxson asked, to which Jesse quickly said, “Jaxson, that William guy said that blood fungus would worsen our father’s injuries. Do you think he could heal our father?”
Mordred’s eyes lit up. “Oh? Someone said that?”
Jaxson hurriedly replied, “William is also a physician. Brandon recommended him to me. But…” He glanced at Jesse.
Jesse snorted in response. “Jaxson, call Brandon and ask him if William can come here.”
Jaxson secretly sighed. If it wasn’t for Jesse’s rude words earlier, William would have come to Yamtown with me a long time ago!
Brandon was in the middle of his training, and his phone was on silent so he couldn’t be reached. Jaxson had no choice but to call Diego to ask for William’s hotel room phone number. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Meanwhile, William was also in the middle of his own training when a young man knocked on his door and informed him that someone was calling from the hotel’s phone, claiming to be Jaxson White. William picked up the phone, only to hear Jaxson’s voice on the other end, asking. “Is this Mr. Barrett?”
William confirmed his identity, and Jaxson began with an embarrassed laugh. “Mr. Barrett, I’m calling to apologize on behalf of Jesse. Also, I want to thank you for the gift of the blood fungus. It’s a priceless treasure, and the White Family can’t accept it for free. Please give me your account number and I’ll wire you 10 million.”
William knew that something was wrong with Gerald, so he didn’t hesitate to cut to the chase and state, “Mr. Jaxson, just say what you need to say. No need to beat around the bush.”
Jaxson sighed at that. “I won’t hide it from you. It’s just like what you said–after my father took the blood fungus, his condition worsened. Mr. Barrett, can you come to Yamtown and save my father?”
At that William renlied. “I alreatiu esid it before—I can’t even unite e father’s illnese Then he anded the coll

Jaxson was stunned and his face turned pale.
At that point, Jesse was angry and he asked loudly, Jaxson, will he not come?”
Jaxson sighed again and muttered. “Jesse, with the way you spoke to him earlier, even I wouldn’t come.”
Jesse grunted and turned to Mordred, asking, “Can you cure my father’s illness?”
Mordred sighed as well. “The poison is too strong, so I can’t do anything, he mumbled. “It’s unlikely that Mr. White will make it through the night.”
Everyone’s faces turned grim and Julian, the eldest son of the White Family, shouted, “Jesse, call Dr. Barrett and apologize to him. Ask him to come and save our father!”
Jesse hesitated at first but then gritted his teeth and took the phone from Jaxson, thereafter dialing William’s hotel room number.
William picked up the phone and Jesse immediately said, “Is this Mr. Barrett?”
William remained expressionless as he asked, “Who is this, please?”
“It’s J–Jesse W–White.. Jesse stuttered out his name but before he could say anything else, William hung
- up.
Jesse was stunned before he promptly became infuriated. He yelled, “This little brat dared to hang up on
me!
When Julian heard that, he scolded Jesse. “You need to control your temper! It’s a matter of life and death. for our father. Can’t you just swallow your pride and apologize to Dr. Barrett?”
Jesse gritted his teeth, picked up the phone again, and dialed William’s hotel room number. However, despite the phone ringing for a long time, no one answered.
At the moment, William sat expressionless in front of the phone, letting it ring.
Brandon walked out of the room and asked, “Is it a call from the White Family?”
William explained, “Jaxson called once, and now it’s Jesse. I hung up on him but now he’s calling nonstop.”
Brandon pondered for a moment and asked, “What’s your plan, William?”
William then replied, “I can save the man, but Jesse must apologize to me by bowing to me.”
Brandon was taken aback to hear that. “Bowing? Jesse is such a proud person; he might not accept that!”
William sneered, “I can save his father’s life. Isn’t that worth him bowing to me?”
At that, Brandon murmured, “You’re right, but even if you can’t be friends with Jesse, you don’t have to be enemies, right?”
“It’s up to him to choose whether we are enemies or friends,” William commented. “As a doctor, I don’t need their gratitude, but I do need respect and trust. The White Family has neither, so I cannot agree.”
Brandon nodded in response. “William, you’re right!”

He then picked up the phone and asked loudly, “Who is this?”
Jesse, who was suppressing his anger, said, “Are you Brandon?”
“Yes. What can I do for you, Mr. Jesse? Brandon asked.
“Let me talk to William,” Jesse stated.
“Okay.” Brandon ended the call and said to William, “Jesse is so arrogant. If he wasn’t Gerald’s son, he would have been killed by someone already!”
William chuckled in response. “Brandon, the phone calls are annoying. Let’s go for a walk outside and come back tonight.
There was a temple near the hotel that required a ticket to enter. William and Brandon walked and talked in the temple courtyard.
“Brandon, you’re now the top fighter in Justford, right?” William asked.
Brandon shook his head. “Justford is the capital of Leftbank. There are two Grandmasters in Leftbank, Jaylon Wood and Cedron Gulliver. Jaylon lives in Fortuna, and Cedron lives in Phalon, which is far away from Justford. This allows me to take advantage of my brother’s reputation and establish myself here.”
“Kane is the underground king of Justford. Justford is whatever you say it is, Brandon, so it’s not wrong me to say that you are the top fighter in Justford,” William said.

Brandon chuckled upon hearing that. “That’s true. My brother is the head of Justford’s government. No matter how powerful someone is in the martial arts world, they wouldn’t dare to offend the government.”
He then said to William, “William, the breathing technique you taught me today is extraordinary. I have a feeling that within a year, I will achieve perfection in the Divine Realm!”
William smiled and murmured, “The Divine Realm is nothing. Brandon, you will definitely become at grandmaster in the Kings Realm.”
To that, Brandon replied, “I hope so!”
