"Are you shocked at seeing me Miss Vivian?" The young man asked with a playful smile on his face. But Vivian’s expression became more fearful as she muttered.
"How...did you find me?"
"How I found you?" The young man said with a stunned look on his face before he suddenly burst out his laughter as he answered.
"You dad told us where you are of cause"
When Vivian heard what the young man said, her expression quickly changed into despair as she muttered in disbelief.
"No.... You have got him too"
"Bingo" The young man replied with a mischievous smile now on his face. When Vivian heard him, she quickly fell silent for quite some time before she suddenly asked in a weak voice.
"What do you want?"
"Hmm, what do I want, you say?" The young man asked back with a pondering look on his face. But that expression didn’t stay on his face for long as it quickly changed into a creepy smile as he gave out an answer while he looked at Vivian straight into her eyes.
"I want both you and the Star Shopping Mall"
"Never!!" Vivian exclaimed with a look of disbelief on her face while she thought in fear.
’How did he find out I own the Star Shopping Mall?’
"Well, if you don’t want to do things the easy way, then we have no choice but to do it the hard way" The young man said with an helpless look on his face before he turned to one of the bodyguards standing beside and spoke again with an indifferent tone in his voice this time.
"Take her, we are going back"
"Yes young master" The burly man responded in a cold and deep voice as he stepped closer to Vivian. When Vivian saw this, her expression quickly changed into fear as she thought.
’Oh no, it seems like this is the end for me’
While she was having that thought, Hutton silhouette suddenly cropped into mind which made her stunned. But in the next moment, she just gave out a weak smile as tear began to settle at the corner of her eyes.
"Let’s go lady" The burly man said as he stretched out one of his hand to get hold of Vivian’s shoulder.
Bang!!!
But right when the bodyguard was about to hold Vivian’s shoulder, an unexpected force suddenly crashed heavily on the burly man’s shoulder which shockingly sent him flying.
"Watch out!!" One of the bodyguards standing beside the young man suddenly exclaimed with a panicked look on his face as quickly gave way for the first bodyguard to fly past him.
Luckily for the others, they were quick enough to come out of their dumbfounded state as they also instantly gave way for the first bodyguard to fly past them.
Thumb!!
After flying past them, the bodyguard heavily crashed into a very thick tree before he slid down to the floor with his head lowered.
’He is dead’ The young man thought while he observed the bodyguard who flew past them with a grim look on his face. As for Vivian, she currently have a shocked and confused look on her face as she thought.
’What just happened?’
But right before she could understand what just happened, another young man suddenly appeared right in front of her. Only this time, she was very familiar to this one that when her eyes landed on him, she began to tear up more frequently as she muttered in a weak voice.
"Is that you, Hutton?"
"Yes Vivian. Am sorry for how I treated you earlier at my house, that was uncalled for" Hutton replied with an apologetic tone. When Vivian heard him, she immediately shaked her head as she spoke up again.
"I will only forgive you if you take me out of here"
’Well that is totally understandable, I caused this in the first place’ Hutton thought with a wry smile on his face for only a brief moment before it quickly changed into a cold look as his eyes landed on the young man that is surrounded by four bodyguards who is also looking right back at him.
"Are you the one that did that to one of my bodyguard?" Eventually, the young man suddenly asked with an indifferent tone on his face. But Hutton wasn’t flinched by his reactions as he gave out a question to the young man in place of an answer.
"Is there a problem with what I did?"
"Good, very good" The young man replied as his expression began to look furious before he suddenly spoke up in a voice now filled with killing intent.
"Kill him"
"Yes young master!" The four remaining bodyguards answered in unison as as they suddenly moved towards Hutton.
’A bunch of chicken that is coming towards death’ Hutton thought with a despising look on his face as he just stood there and waited for the bodyguards to approach him.

While getting closer to Hutton, their muscles rippling as they advanced towards him with determined steps. But before they could even blink, Hutton’s movements blurred into a whirlwind of action.
Bang!! Bang!!....
With lightning speed, he dodged their clumsy attacks and countered with precision strikes. Within seconds, the once-confident bodyguards found themselves sprawled on the ground, defeated and bewildered by the effortless skill of the young cultivator.
"How is this possible!!?" The young man exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face as he stares at the scene right in front of him with wide eyes.
Apparently, the four burly bodyguards Hutton just beat up like children are actually a grandmaster ranked fighter who are experts in using internal force. Not only that, but they are one of the most notorious mercenaries in the country back when they weren’t affiliated with the young man that is right in front of Hutton.
’He has become so strong in such a short time I didn’t see him’ Vivian thought with a shocked look on her face. But Hutton didn’t react to all this as he slowly began to walk towards the young man as he spoke up.
"Now then, why don’t you tell me who you are, where you are keeping her dad and whose family you are from?"
"Ne... Never!!" The young man stuttered loudly as he began to step back with an anxious look on his face.
"You won’t tell me? You will regret it if you don’t" Hutton said with a more deeper tone as he continued to get closer to the young man. When the young man saw this, he began to feel fearful which drove him to yell out loud in an helpless tone.
"Please help me seniors!!"
’Seniors?’ Hutton thought with his brows creased while he use his senses to observe the area. But right when he could find out who exactly the young man is yelling to, two aged men suddenly appeared right beside the young man.
These two aged cultivators stand side by side, their weathered faces etched with the lines of countless battles. Each bears the weight of years spent honing their skills, evident in the deep-set determination in their eyes.
Their robes, once vibrant with color, now fade to muted shades, adorned with intricate symbols that hint at their mastery of ancient techniques. Despite the passage of time, their stances remain firm, radiating an aura of strength and wisdom earned through decades of experience in the tumultuous world of cultivation.
"I can’t believe I will get to see such a promising cultivator in this era" one of the aged men suddenly spoke up in a surprising tone while he uses his eyes to observe Hutton.
’Oh no, this is bad’ When Vivian saw these two aged mens, her expression changed drastically while she thought. But right before she could say anything, the other aged cultivator suddenly spoke up in a playful tone as he raised one of his hands.
"Well let me confirm how much potential this kid actually have"
With a solemn gaze, the veteran aged cultivator raised only one hand, his movements deliberate and precise. In a flash, a surge of energy emanated from his fingertips, coalescing into a formidable force aimed directly at Hutton. The young cultivator, caught off guard by the sheer power of the attack, attempted to defend himself but was overwhelmed by the veteran’s mastery.
The impact sent Hutton flying backward, crashing into the rocky terrain with a resounding thud. As he struggled to rise, blood trickled from his wounds, evidence of the devastating blow he had endured. Despite his valiant efforts, Hutton lay battered and broken, his spirit undaunted but his body grievously injured by the veteran’s single-handed strike.
’Such power’ Hutton thought with a look of disbelief on his face. He was sure that the attack he just received is way higher than the attack he received from the eccentric cultivator back at his home.
"Hutton!!" When Vivian saw the state Hutton is in, she immediately yelled out in fright as she hurriedly went towards where Hutton is laying.
"He just so-so to me" While putting his hand down, the other aged cultivator said with a straight look on his face. But right then, the young man suddenly spoke up in a respectful tone.
"Seniors, could you do me a favor and capture that girl for me. I will be in your debt in the future if you do so"
