’Is she referring to me?’ Hutton asked himself with a perplexed look on his face. But Vivian didn’t seem to care what Hutton current reaction is as she asked Boka with a curious look on her face.
"But mentor, what brings you to this little courtyard? You actually haven’t been here for ages now?"
’I came here for both you and Hutton!’ Boma first screamed with a frustrating feeling welling up within him. But outwardly, he just have a wry smile on his face as he answered while asking a question in return.
"Well I just felt like visiting this place one more time, just for old times sake. Was I bothering you by coming here?"
"Well in a way yeah" Vivian answered with an apologetic look now on her face. When Boma saw this expression, his wry look became more worse as he said.
"Am sorry for that. In that case, I will come back maybe later. Hutton, let’s go"
"O...k?" Hutton answered with a confused look on his face as he went towards where Boma and Vivian is standing.
"Wait!!" But just then, Vivian suddenly exclaimed which startled both Boma and Hutton at the same time.
"Is something the problem?" After a few seconds of silence, Boma asked Vivian with a curious look on his face and Hutton’s face. After a few more seconds of silence, Vivian finally spoke up as her eyes finally landed on Hutton.
"I want him to stay, you can go"
"Ok....?" Boma replied with a more intense curiousity appearing on his face as he looked at both Vivian and Hutton simultaneously.
"And why do you want me to stay?" Not taking it in any longer, Hutton finally asked with a straight look on his face.
"You don’t have the right to question me here" Vivian answered with an indifferent look now on her face along with her tone having a touch of anger.
"Oh really? Well then, it’s better am not here at all. If you would excuse me senior" Hutton quickly said back with a cold look slowly appearing on his face. Being totally unhelpful in this situation, Boma just answered wryly.
"Of cause"
"And where do you think you are going?" Vivian suddenly asked as her angry tone in her voice began to become more noticeable. But Hutton didn’t seem to care as in the next more moment Boma gave him a reply, a sudden burst of qi came out of his body and he vanished right after.
’Did he just vanished?’ Vivian thought with a blank look on her face as she just stares at the spot Hutton was standing on. As for Boma, he had a shocked expression on his face as he thought.
’He has gotten this deep into cultivation? Since when did he start?’
"What... In the world... happened to Hutton mentor?" Vivian mustered up all her strength on her mouth to ask that question with the blank look still on her face.
"He is now a cultivator Vivian" Not finding anything strange in telling Vivian, Boma spoke up with a shocked look still on his face. But when Vivian heard him, that expression quickly changed into disbelief as she muttered.
"What?"
.....
As the bustling street hummed with activity, the air tingled with the energy of the city. Suddenly, a soft breeze whispered through the alleyways, carrying with it the faint scent of cherry blossoms.
With a flicker of light, Hutton, a young cultivator adorned in his simple t-shirt and jeans, materialized on the cobblestone street outside the 4-star Green Clover restaurant. Passersby halted mid-step, their eyes widening in astonishment as they watched him appear seemingly out of thin air.
Murmurs spread through the crowd like wildfire, and curious glances darted in Hutton’s direction, mingled with whispers of speculation about his mysterious arrival. Hutton, unfazed by the attention, straightened his posture and cast a serene smile upon the bewildered onlookers, his presence an enigma amidst the ordinary hustle and bustle of the city streets.
’I will deal with her later’ Hutton said internally when he thought of Vivian as he went into the his Green Clover restaurant. When the onlookers saw him enter the restaurant, their whispers bacame slightly louder.
"Hey! Do you know who that is?"
"I think I do, based on some rumours and description of someone I have heard about, I think he is the owner of the restaurant"
"Wait... So that’s him!?"
"He looks so young to own such a famous restaurant"
"That doesn’t even matter at this moment, what really matters is how he appeared out of thin air!"
"Oh, that’s true...."
While the onlookers outside the Green Clover restaurant were having all kinds of discussion amongst themselves, Hutton is currently with Everlyn and Hamilton at his head office.
"So how long do you need before you can get the kitchen fully operational Hamilton?" Hutton asked with a calm look on his face while he sat on his office chair.

"Approximately one week from now boss" Hamilton answered with a serious look on his face. But when Hutton heard him, he was taken aback as he asked.
"A week? Isn’t that too long?"
"Unfortunately yes boss but there is a reason for it. This reason is that I would like to change the signature dish of the restaurant" Hamilton answered with a slightly more lower voice.
"What!? You want to change the dish that made the restaurant famous in the first place!?" Everlyn exclaimed with an incredulous look ok her face. But Hutton still had a calm look on his face as he silently stared at Hamilton.
"And why do you want to change the signature dish?" Hutton finally asked Hamilton county in a calm and straight look on his face.
"Well that is because our competitors have stolen all the chefs here who can cook our signature dish which will lower the value of the dish in the long run once our competitors start to sell it. So I think it’s best we change our signature dish to be one step ahead of our competitors" After taking in a deep breath, Hamilton explained with a very convincing tone.
"That is not the main reason why you want to change our signature dish. If it was only that, I would have find out a way to get ahead of them without changing the signature dish and I think you already know that so what you are saying is just pointless. Just tell me why you really want to change the signature dish" But after staying silent for a few minutes, Hutton gave Hamilton his reply with a light smile on his face.
When Hamilton heard him, he suddenly felt a bucket of cold water turning over him as his expression quickly became downcast while he spoke up in a very apologetic voice.
"Am sorry for trying to decieve you boss"
"Oh you don’t have to be, as long as it is for the good of the restaurant then you can decieve me as much as you want. But I would recommend you not to do so because I will still find out later" Hutton replied with a light chuckle.
"Really!?" Both Hamilton and Everlyn exclaimed with a surprised look on their faces. But Hutton still seemed to be in a good mood as he answered with a chuckle.
"Of cause. Now then, why don’t you really tell us why you want to change the signature dish Hamilton?"
"Well.... There is a new dish I created recently which I feel like it will get me promoted to 5 stars. But it can’t happen unless I make this dish a signature dish of the restaurant so..." Hamilton replied with an awkward smile now on his face.
"And can you please tell us what is the name of this dish?" Hutton asked with a light smile on his face.
"Sure boss, the name of the dish is Truffle Risotto with Seared Scallops" Hamilton answered with a more confident tone. When Hutton heard him, he became stunned as he asked.
"Truffle Risotto with Seared Scallops? Can you describe this dish to me?"
"Of cause boss" Hamilton said as he prepared himself before he continued "This dish features creamy Arborio rice cooked to perfection with a luxurious blend of white wine, shallots, garlic, and homemade vegetable broth. The star ingredient, earthy black truffles, adds a depth of flavor and aroma that elevates the dish to gourmet status. Each bite is a symphony of textures and flavors, with the tender scallops providing a delicate contrast to the rich risotto. Garnished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped chives, this dish is a decadent indulgence perfect for any special occasion".
"Interesting..." Hutton muttered with an intrigued look now on his face. When Hamilton saw this look, he suddenly became hopeful as he asked.
"So boss, can I go ahead and put this as the signature dish of the restaurant?"
"I feel like this dish will bring in a new era for the restaurant boss" Everlyn suddenly commented with a pondering look on her face while Hutton still remained silent. But after a few minutes, Hutton suddenly stood up from his office chair as he answered.
"Of cause. And that’s why I give Hamilton the permission to implement his plan"
