"Fetch me up?" Hutton asked with a confused look on his face while he began to think.
’Who would hire such a formidable person just to fetch me?’
"That’s right. Now I will give you only 5 seconds to choose one of the options am about to give you, either you obediently follow me to the person who hired me or you have to watch all your friends die right in front of you" The eccentric cultivator said with the creepy smile now on his face.
"Hutton will never go with you!! Not while am here!!" At this moment, Bu Ling yelled out with an unwilling look on his face.
"Gosh! Do you know you are really annoying right now? And so, for being annoying, you are no longer needed here" The eccentric cultivator said with an irritated look now on his face as he raised up his right hand.
’Oh no...’ Hutton thought as a bad feeling began to rise up within him. But it was too late as the eccentric cultivator have already moved.
With a flick of his finger, the eccentric cultivator channeled his energy into a concentrated burst, sending a shockwave rippling through the air. Bu Ling was lifted off the ground and propelled backward, his body careening through the hallway with alarming speed. He crashed into the far wall with a resounding thud, his limbs splayed out as he groaned in pain. The cultivator calmly strode past, leaving Bu Ling to ponder the sheer force contained in such a seemingly effortless gesture.
’What in the....’ Kenneth thought with a look of disbelief on his face as he involuntarily took a few steps backwards. As for Everlyn and Jake, the former have a horror filled look on her face along with being on the verge on vomiting while the later have a frightened look on his face as he was soaked in cold sweat.
"Now that annoying creature is out of the picture, what is your decision. Remember I only give you 5 seconds so choose fast or else I will do both" The eccentric cultivator said with the usual creepy smile on his face.
After taking in a deep breath as he tried to remain calm, Hutton replied with a grim look on his face.
"I will go with you"

"That’s great then! Let’s quickly leave, I don’t like making my hirer wait for too long" The eccentric cultivator said with a delighted look on his face as he tried to touch Hutton’s shoulder.
"Wait, can’t I at least tell my friends goodbye?" But right when the eccentric cultivator is about to touch Hutton’s shoulder, the later suddenly moved back as he spoke up.
"No can do kid, I do not have the time for that" the eccentric cultivator answered in a dismissive tone before he suddenly placed his hands on Hutton’s shoulder without him knowing.
’How did he moved so fast?’ Except the eccentric cultivator and Bu Ling who is currently unconscious, the rest of the people in the hall thought in unison.
But in the next moment, Kenneth, Jake and Everlyn suddenly saw Hutton and the eccentric cultivator disappear right in front of their eyes.
"What.... Just happened? Where did boss disappear to?" Jake asked with a blank look on his face. But this moment, Kenneth hurriedly exclaimed.
"We can’t just stand here and do nothing!? Miss Everlyn, please quickly send Mr. Bu Ling to the hospital"
"Sure thing Mr. Kenneth" Everlyn replied after coming back to her senses befoe she quickly went towards where Bu Ling is lieing.
"As for you Jake, follow me back to the agency. We quickly need to find out where Hutton disappear to" Kenneth said as he shifted his attention to Jake.
"No problem Mr. Kenneth" Jake replied with a grim look on his face before they quickly went back down the stairs....
’Where... Am I? And how the hell did I get here?’ Hutton thought with an incredulous look on his face as he observed the area he find himself in.
Apparently, Hutton and the eccentric cultivator are right in the middle of a very spacious and grand throne room.
The throne room is an expansive chamber adorned with opulent white marble pillars stretching towards a vaulted ceiling, adorned with intricate purple and silver filigree. Luminous chandeliers cast a soft, ethereal glow upon the room, illuminating the regal white and purple tapestries depicting scenes of conquest and prosperity. At the far end of the room, a majestic throne crafted from glistening ivory and adorned with amethyst gemstones sits atop a dais, commanding attention with its imposing presence.
"Looks like you have finally caught him" right before Hutton could figure where he finds himself in, a thick and dignified voice suddenly echoed across the throne room which took both the eccentric cultivator and Hutton’s attention.
’Who said that?’ Hutton thought with a curious look on his face as he tried to find out where that voice came from. But not too long after, he suddenly had that strange yet familiar feeling of death when his senses landed on the door that is at the right side of the throne.
In the next moment, that same door suddenly opened as someone slowly yet steadily came out from it. Apparently, this said someone is a middle aged man who has a rather tall build.
As the man strides towards the throne in the grandiose throne room, his presence commands respect and reverence. His demeanor is solemn, yet dignified, exuding an air of authority and wisdom. Despite his middle age, there is a timeless quality to his bearing, as if he carries the weight of centuries of history on his shoulders.
His hair, a striking shade of purple, cascades in elegant waves around his shoulders, adding an unexpected yet regal touch to his appearance. Each strand seems to catch the light, shimmering with an otherworldly sheen. His eyes, a matching hue of deep amethyst, gleam with intelligence and intensity, seeming to pierce through the very soul of those who meet his gaze.
His attire is impeccably tailored, befitting his status as he approaches the throne. He wears a flowing robe of rich, dark fabric, adorned with intricate embroidery that hints at his noble lineage. Every movement he makes is deliberate and measured, as if each step is a carefully calculated maneuver in the intricate dance of power and politics.
Despite the opulence surrounding him, there is a humility to his demeanor, a quiet strength that speaks of a lifetime spent in service to the family he is heading. As he finally reaches the throne, he bows his head in deference, a gesture of respect to the seat of power before him. And yet, even in this moment of submission, there is an undeniable aura of command that surrounds him, marking him as a true leader among men.
’Who is this man?’ Hutton thought with a shocked and grim expressions interchanging on his face. But when he slowly turned and got a glimpse of how the eccentric cultivator is acting at the moment, his face instantly darkened.
Unlike the arrogant and playful attitude the eccentric cultivator was displaying in his house, right now he is keeping a respectful and reverence look on his face.
"Yes Sir. Why I couldn’t get him for so long is becau–"
"Stop right there, I don’t need an explanation of what took you so long. Just leave, I will send your reward later" the dignified looking man suddenly interjected while the eccentric cultivator was still talking.
"Ok Sir, I will now take my leave" the eccentric cultivator humbly said as he did a simple bow before he suddenly vanished from the throneroom.
"As for you...." After the eccentric cultivator left, the dignified looking man suddenly spoke up again as he shifted his attention towards Hutton.
’Am done for’ Hutton thought with an anxious feeling within him. Instantly, the air around them seemed to thicken, a palpable weight pressing down upon Hutton’s shoulders.With each passing moment, the dignified looking man’s aura intensified, emanating an ancient strength that commanded respect.
Hutton felt as though an invisible force gripped his very being, his knees buckling beneath the weight of it.Struggling to maintain his composure, Hutton’s bravado faltered, his voice growing weak as he stumbled backward. Finally, unable to withstand the overwhelming presence any longer, he fell to his knees, bowing low before the dignified looking man’s aura.
"Do you know why am doing this?" Right at the moment Hutton consciousness began to falter, the dignified looking man suddenly asked.
"No honorable elder" Hutton said with all his strength as his consciousness began to weaken more.
"Am doing this for how you have been treating my daughter these years she has been away from home" The dignified looking man calmly answered with a cold look slowly appearing on his.
When Hutton heard him, he was stunned for a moment before a thought popped up in his head which made his face darkened by a great degree.
