Chapter 87 Young Mr Cromwell
While they were eating, a young man entered, and William recognized him. This man stood by the bed when he treated Robert the last time. If remember correctly, his name is Karter
Matthew quickly introduced the young man to William, saying, “William, this is my son, Karter. I’m sure you’ve met before.”
Karter came home just in time for lunch. It surprised him to see his father and uncle treating William in such a respectful manner.
This is the first time Dad and Uncle Sheldon value someone so highly! Karter was extremely intelligent and observant; he could tell that Matthew and Sheldon had a high opinion of William.
Karter immediately smiled and said, “Mr. Barrett, I didn’t thank you properly the last time. I must raise glass in thanks on behalf of the Cromwell Family
my
In Kreim, Karter was a well–known police officer with friends all over the place–from the capital to the counties and prefectures.
William had a positive impression of him as well, so he drank the three glasses of wine Karter poured for him as a toast.
Karter had yet to learn about today’s occurrences, so he asked his father for more details. He was astounded and couldn’t believe his ears when he learned that William had cured Simeon today.
“Brilliant!” Karter exclaimed as he gave a thumbs–up. “Old Mr. Huber’s case has long been known to the public. Apparently, Dr. Wadzinski ignored him and never visited him. In the end, it was Mr. Barrett who healed him! Haha! Dr. Wadzinski went looking for wool and came back shorn. Karter laughed.
Curious, Sheldon asked, “What made you say that, Karter?”
Karter replied, “According to a friend, Dr. Wadzinski was unsure whether he could cure Old Mr. Huber, so he intentionally postponed the meeting. He had already assigned people to search for medicinal materials in secret. If Mr. Barrett had not acted, Dr. Wadzinski would have rushed to Kreim the next morning to see Old Mr. Huber.”
Sheldon said, “Oh, so that’s the story! The Huber Family are powerful and resourceful, yet Frank Wadzinski doesn’t take this chance to earn himself a favor from the Huber Family. And here I was, wondering why. Pfft, it turns out that he lacked the confidence.”
Matthew chuckled. “He didn’t expect that we could invite William.”
Karter started laughing as well at that point. “Mr. Barrett, you are a truly brilliant doctor! It’s an honor for the Cromwell Family to have made your acquaintance. Dad and Uncle Sheldon, why do you call him by his name and insist that I address him as an elder?”
Matthew nodded his head. “That’s right. Along with your Uncle Brandon, we see William as being the same age as us. So, of course, you have to call him Mr. William.”
With a quick wave, William added, “Karter and I are about the same age, so he doesn’t need to address me as his elder.”
Karter, however, firmly retorted, “No, we can’t mess up the seniority! I’ll refer to you as Mr. William from

Sheldon added. “That’s right! You must address him as Mr. William.”
Hearing that, William was speechless. It bothered him that someone his age was addressing him as their
elder.
At this point, Karter remarked, “Hey, this isn’t weird at all! My youngest uncle is about Mr. William’s age. If you think it’s strange. I’ll refer to you by your name.”
Matthew stared at him. “Mr. William will work just fine!”
In an instant, William said, “Matthew, just let him call me by my name. At least I won’t feel old.”
When William said that, everyone had a good laugh.
Karter wanted to befriend William, so his words were filled with compliments. He then learned about William’s plan to work with Jonathan in starting a pharmaceutical factory in Kreim. With a smirk face, Karter asked, “May I join you in your quest to make a lot of money, William?”

William laughed in response. “If you want to join us, that can be discussed.”
He then told Karter everything there was to know about the situation. When Karter learned that William and the Farrells didn’t get along, he scoffed. “Who do they think they are? William, don’t be concerned. I’ll get back at the Farrells when I get the chance to do so.
They continued drinking until 3.00PM, and it was also when William felt a little tipsy. Karter requested that the driver take them to meet Jonathan.
Sharing a drink could close the gap between people significantly. At this point, William and Karter were so close that they had their arms around each other’s shoulders.
When they got to Jonathan’s place, Jonathan was already waiting at his front door.
Jonathan had left for home 30 minutes earlier than his intended time upon receiving a call from William. He grinned and welcomed William, saying, “You’re finally here! I’ve been worrying too much these few days. Who is this you have with you?”
William replied, “This is Karter Cromwell–Matthew’s son. You should’ve heard about him when you were out and about in Kreim
Jonathan was in disbelief as he had heard of Karter’s name! He once wanted to meet Karter but was never given the opportunity. Still, he was well aware of Karter’s reputation.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Young Mr. Cromwell,” he said hastily.
Karter smiled. “Likewise, Mr. Big. I’ve heard great things about you.”
He was obviously less cordial with Jonathan than William and even displayed a hint of estrangement, which was simply his way of doing things.
After chatting for a while, William asked Jonathan. “You said you were worried to death just now. What were you worrying about?”
“Starting a pharmaceutical company is too difficult. I’m going crazy from all the procedures,” Jonathan replied, sighing.

William responded, “Let’s take things one at a time. The Lloyds should be in touch with you soon. As long as we get the funds, everything else is trivial.”
Nodding his head. Jonathan agreed, “You’re right. Good things take time.”
Karter interjected. “Regarding the procedures, you can look for me. I’ll have someone make the
arrangements,”
William replied, “That’s great. Thank you, Karter.”
Then, he proceeded to ask Jonathan about the herbs.
Jonathan chuckled. “Man, you’re so smart! I purchased four thousand tons of dendrobium officinale during this time, and since the cost of the raw materials has skyrocketed, two pounds now costs five hundred and twenty–five. Regarding the primary production locations, I have a contract with them. I will buy all dendrobium officinale starting from the following year at the price of three hundred for two pounds.”
He paused and grinned. “The Farrells seem to have noticed this as they began purchasing them a few days ago. Unfortunately, they were too late and were unable to obtain any of them!”
After Karter had a better grasp of William’s operation, he was extremely impressed! “Does that mean William has earned around 1.5 billion just from this round?” he asked.
Previously, the price of dendrobium officinale was a hundred and eighty for two pounds, but it had now risen to five hundred and twenty–five, which meant the profit for four thousand tons would be 1.38 billion. It would be a 1.5 billion profit if it rose even higher!
William shook his head. “It won’t be profitable for now because these medicinal materials are used to make medicine.”
Blinking his eyes, Karter asked, “William, can I join you in this?”
Jonathan let out a laugh. “Are you interested, Young Mr. Cromwell?”
“I just happen to have some extra cash right now. It’s not much, but I have seventy–five million.”
Jonathan replied, “That’s sufficient. If Young Mr. Cromwell invests seventy–five million, you will receive five percent of the shares.”
At that, Karter laughed out loud. “Thanks a lot, Mr. Big!”
While the three were talking, Jonathan’s wife, Edith, rushed out crying. Johan has been kidnapped, Jonathan! They called to demand a ransom of seven hundred and fifty million, or else they would kill him!”
Jonathan’s face suddenly went pale, and he broke out in cold sweat. “The Farrells have come for me, William!” he cried as he turned to look at William.
