"Oh?" Hutton said right after he heard that voice from behind him as he finally let Dorothy go and turned. Whom he saw is Ling Fei and a blonde haired young man standing right beside her.
When the blonde haired guy saw Hutton, his face drastically changed as he exclaimed while he took a few steps back.
"Its you!!"
His reaction stunned Ling Fei, Hutton and Dorothy, but Hutton suddenly thought of something which made him make a small smirk on his face.
"You know him Charles?" Dorothy asked with a curious expression on her face. But before Charles could respond, Hutton suddenly spoke up.
"Of cause he does, we were competitors back at the Cornerstone city martial arts tournament"
"He was the one whom they classified as a demon during that time and also the one that hospitalized Morris" Charles finally spoke up as his face is now drenched in sweat.
’Oh now I remember’ Ling Fei thought as she remembered the time he met Hutton and Rebecca at a company’s event.
"So you were the one who dared hospitalized my dear brother?" But Dorothy wasn’t so calm when she heard what Charles said as she asked with a grim look on her face. But Hutton didn’t seem perturbed by her behavior as he answered calmly.
"Well your brother just said it so what other confirmation are you finding?"
"You are dead!!" Dorothy exclaimed with a furious look on her face as she pounced on Hutton.
"Dorothy wait!!" But right before she could enter her doom, Ling Fei immediately called out with a panicked look on her face which made Dorothy to pause in her tracks.
"What is it Miss Ling Fei?" Dorothy asked with a confused look on her face. But Ling Fei didn’t reply immediately as she just stared right into the eyes of Hutton for a few minutes before she gave Lily who stood a few distance away a displeased gaze.
’But it’s not my fault!’ Lily thought with a pleading expression on her face when she noticed the gaze Ling Fei is giving her.
"I think you should leave, Dorothy" Right after that incident with Lily, Ling Fei finally spoke up with a deadpan expression on her face.
"Huh?" Both Dorothy and Charles have a blank look on their faces as soon as they heard what Ling Fei said.
"Are you joking Ling Fei?" Dorothy finally asked with a serious look on her face after she regained her senses.
"No am not Dorothy, thank you for paying me a visit as soon as I came into the country. But now business calls so I think you should be leaving" Ling Fei answered with a straight look on her face.
"Miss Ling Fei!!?" Charles exclaimed with an angry look on his face but Ling Fei didn’t even flinch as she looked straight into the eyes of Dorothy.

Although Dorothy was initially stunned by Ling Fei’s reply, she eventually calmed down as she looked back at Ling Fei and then turned to look at Hutton.
"Charles, let’s go" not too long after, Dorothy finally spoke up as she began to walk away from that area. After giving both Ling Fei and Hutton a deadly gaze, Charles quickly followed Dorothy.
"You will regret this Ling Fei" but right when they were about to leave that hallway, Dorothy suddenly spoke up in a deep tone before she finally left.
’Sorry but I don’t and I won’t ever regret on anything I do’ Ling Fei thought as she looked as Dorothy and Charles left the hallway. After they left, Ling Fei quickly shifted her gaze to Hutton who quietly stood at a place with a calm look on his face.
"So are you going to explain why you caused a very immatured scene at my house?" Ling Fei finally asked as anger painted her face.
"Well why don’t you ask your dear henchmen on the floor" Hutton answered in a calm tone as he began to walk towards the damaged entrance to the garden.
’The henchmen you knocked the sense out if them?’ Ling Fei thought with a helpless smile on her face as she stare at the bodies that is scattered on the floor if the hallway.
"Just before you ask, I came here to talk about what you told Lily to tell me" Right when he was about to enter the garden, Hutton suddenly said in a calm tone.
"What did I tell her to tell you?" Ling Fei asked with a confused look on her face. But right before Hutton could answer, Lily suddenly spoke up.
"Umm... It’s about his existence big sis"
"Existence..." Ling Fei muttered as she stared into the eyes of Lily with a straight look on her face. But in the next moment, she seems to have thought of something which quickly made her to smile wryly.
"Aren’t you coming?" But Ling Fei didn’t stay that way for long as Hutton’s voice which came out from the garden quickly brought her back to her senses.
"No am not. That’s not a suitable place to talk about this, let me take you to someplace better" Ling Fei answered with a serious look now on her face.
"Well lead the way then" Hutton said as he suddenly appeared right in front of Ling Fei. But Ling Fei didn’t flinch as she immediately called out.
"Bob!!"
"Yes Young Mistress?" A deep and solemn voice suddenly sounded out as the bodyguard inwhich Hutton was previously acquainted with suddenly appeared right beside her.
"Oh, long time no see Mr. Bob. Seems like you have gone through some transformation from the last time we saw" Hutton suddenly said as he observed the new Bob with a surprised and impressed look on his face.
Right now Bob is on a sleek black Italian suit, tailored to perfection to accentuate his moderately built physique. His black hair is neatly styled, framing a strong, chiseled face, while his piercing black eyes exude a sense of unwavering focus and determination.
Despite the formal attire, there’s an undeniable aura surrounding him, thick and potent, like a shroud of energy that marks him as a cultivator of formidable skill. This aura pulsates with power, hinting at the depths of his martial prowess and spiritual cultivation.His movements are controlled and deliberate, each step measured and purposeful.
Even in the confines of his suit, one can sense the coiled strength and agility waiting to be unleashed at a moment’s notice.With every gesture, he exudes an air of quiet confidence and authority, commanding attention without the need for words. He is a master of both the physical and spiritual realms, seamlessly blending the elegance of his attire with the raw power of his martial skills and cultivation prowess.
"The same goes to you Mr. Hutton. I never believed you will be a cultivator so soon" Bob replied with a light smile on his face as he observed Hutton with his eyes.
"Well what can say? I was just lucky" Hutton said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Ok enough with the chit chat. Bob, open the secret room" Ling Fei suddenly said with an annoyed look on his face.
"Yes Young Mistress" Bob replied as his expression became calm. Along With a knowing smile, Bob approached a seemingly ordinary section of the hallway wall. His hand traced along the smooth surface, feeling for the subtle indentation that he knew to be there.
As his fingers brushed against a concealed switch, a soft click echoed through the corridor.Without hesitation, Bob pressed the switch, and with a pneumatic hiss, a hidden panel slid open, revealing a narrow passageway concealed behind the wall. The other employees passed by, oblivious to the secret world that lay just beyond their sight.
"Where does this lead to?" Hutton asked with a surprised look on his face as he stare at the secret passage way.
"To the secret room off cause. Let’s go" Ling Fei replied with a calm look on her face as she along with Bob and Lily went into the passageway.
’I wonder what she wants to tell me that she has to be so cautious’ Hutton thought curiously as he also went into the passageway. But when he got into the passageway, he quickly forget what he thought of a minute ago.
The air in the passageway is thick with a heady mixture of incense and ancient herbs, filling your senses with an otherworldly aroma. Soft, ethereal light filters through the cracks in the walls, casting eerie shadows that dance and flicker like spirits in the darkness.
As they move deeper into the passageway, the walls seem to shimmer and shift, as if they are alive with energy. Strange symbols and runes are etched into the stone, their meanings lost to the ages but radiating a palpable sense of mystic power.The air is charged with a strange, pulsating energy that tingles against your skin, causing your hair to stand on end.
While still going deeper in the passage way, Hutton can almost hear the faint whispers of voices from centuries past, echoing through the corridors like distant memories.Occasional gusts of wind stir the air, carrying with them the faint echoes of distant chants and mystical incantations. It’s as if the very walls of the passageway are alive with the echoes of ancient rituals and forgotten magic.
’What sort of passageway is this?’ Hutton thought with a marvelled look on his face.
