Chapter 52 The Finger–Flicking Technique
“Are you buddies with Aidan?” William questioned Nicole after three rounds of drinking.
“Not even close. Our fathers worked together for a while. Following the Wrights‘ revitalization of Prosperity Villa, they have begun to offer equity financing everywhere. I’m here to investigate Prosperity Villa,” she said nonchalantly. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Oh? Are they investing?” William asked.
Kane knew the matter and commented, “The Wrights are ambitious. They are selling the rights and. interests in Prosperity Villa to fund the new real estate development.”
hey are in
“That’s right, the Wrights have won a piece of land and are planning a large project. Therefore, they desperate need of finances right now,” Nicole added.
“Are they going to buy land after recovering from the brink of bankruptcy?” William inquired oddly.
“I’m afraid there are other reasons for this! he hissed.
“My dad likewise believes so. The Wrights may have other intentions we don’t know,” she said.
After drinking until the early hours of the morning. Brandon and Kane returned to their rooms. Since the villa had numerous rooms, William and Nicole chose to spend the night there. Their rooms were located adjacent to one another in the same building.
As soon as he returned to his room, William was going to shower when he heard a knock on the door. He then opened the door to find her standing outside. “What’s the matter, Miss Davidson?” he asked.
“You can call me Nicole,” she responded with a smile. Then, she continued, her gorgeous eyes blinking. You are a Qi State master with exceptional medical abilities, Mr. William. Can you assist me in resolving the cultivation issue?”
“Did you face some problems?” he asked.
Nicole nodded in response before saying, I’ve been practicing the Finger–Flicking technique with great ease, but recently I’ve been having trouble breathing and feeling lightheaded.”
“Try it now and let me see,” William said after some thoughts.
She paused, and a flower shape appeared in her right hand. At that moment, he noticed that her breathing through her meridians was problematic in a peculiar way.
He paused momentarily, and his Qi flowed through her body. As he reached the junction point of the two meridians, he felt incredibly stagnant, and his head began to spin. “Huh? It’s really dizzy!” He was taken aback internally.
As Nicole noticed William trembling, she inquired, “What’s wrong with you?”
“I’m okay. I’m thinking about what you said earlier,” he responded while waving his hand.
“This problem has truly been worrying my dad, possibly due to the incompleteness of the Finger–Flicking technique we learned,” she stated with a smile.

tomorrow morning?”
“Sure. Thank you!” She expressed her gratitude.
Afterward, Nicole returned to her room, but William couldn’t sleep since he was preoccupied with the Finger–Flicking technique. There was an obstruction in her Qi passage at a particular node; he needed to address the problem.
“What if we bypass this node and use other meridians?” He suddenly had an idea and instantly began to attempt it.
Over a dozen major or minor meridians connected the two meridians before and after the node. Then, he channeled his Qi through these energy pathways, bridging the meridian that came before and after it. The first time he tried it, he felt like he was receiving an electric shock. The second time, his eyes flickered, and he became practically psychotic, but it still didn’t work! After seven or eight failed attempts, his Qi successfully passed through a meridian that was neither too big nor too small, connecting the meridians before and following the node in the ninth attempt.
Soon, William felt remarkably serene, and he twisted his right palm into the shape of a flower. Then, with a slight twist, he caused a teacup to instantly explode and turn into powder! However, he still sensed that something was amiss because Qi’s outburst was imperfect and difficult to control.
“What was the issue?” He shook his head and went on with the experiment.
After several more failures, he let his Qi pass through the node and this meridian, producing a double channel. Not only was it smoother this time, but the control of Qi was more nuanced; the force on his finger was easy to control!
This is great! This is indeed the authentic Finger–Flicking technique. What she had practiced in the past was completely incorrect! William was overjoyed and promptly shaped a flower with his right hand, pointing out his fingers, each capable of piercing gold and smashing stones! Amazing! The complete Finger–Flicking technique is more powerful than this! I’ll let Nicole execute it multiple times tomorrow, from beginning to end, so I can see this technique clearly. William thought to himself.
Soon, he dozed off and slept till sunrise, thinking about that.
After washing up, he knocked on Nicole’s door, only to find her downstairs practicing the Finger–Flicking technique.
On the other hand, he said nothing and stood upstairs for a while, staring at her. He discovered that there were twelve ways to use the Finger–Flicking technique. However, due to her weak cultivation, she could only fully utilize six of them, and the other six were in vain.
Then, he silently jotted down the twelve techniques before approaching her. “I haven’t thought about the problem you mentioned. Hence, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a bit for the solution.” He wanted to thoroughly learn the six Finger–Flicking techniques before entirely teaching them to her because he found it tedious to keep repeating them repeatedly.
“It’s okay. I’m already quite delighted that you’re willing to help me, Nicole smiled. Clearly, she believed William was unlikely to find a solution.
At that moment, Kane invited the two of them to breakfast. William was halfway through breakfast when he received a call from Tia, wondering where he was.
Sensing her anxiety, William inquired, “What happened?”

A huge trouble. I need to meet you now,” Tia said.
He thought about it before answering. “I’m at Amethyst Villa.”
“Are you with Kane?” She was shocked by his response.
“Yeah, we are friends now.”
“Please wait for me. I’ll be there in half an hour, Tia responded after a moment of silence.
However, Nicole grinned slightly as she heard Tia was on her way. “You know Tia as well.”
“Do you know each other?” William inquired.
“Of course. I’m from Justford, and Tia is my best friend. We’ve been so busy recently that we don’t have enough time to see each other,” she said.
Tia arrived at the villa thirty minutes later, and Kane personally greeted her and led her to William.
“What’s wrong?” William questioned.
“It’s about Aidan!” She sighed.
He frowned after hearing her words. “What happened? He was beaten hard yesterday, so he’s unlikely to show up and cause problems.”
“Do you recall the Ivory Dragon Cove I mentioned previously?” Tia snorted.
“Yeah. You said you wanted to develop that area. William nodded.
