"How long has it been now?"
"I think this should be the fifth day"
Back in the secret room deep within the confins of Ling Fei’s house, Ling Fei herself and Lily could be seen standing side by side as they faced an ordinary looking wall.
"That means they should be out any moment now" Ling Fei said with an expectant look on her face. But she still remained calm as she suddenly asked Lily.
"So how has the restaurant been doing these past few days? Hope nothing significant happened there without you telling me?"
"Oh no big sis. Everything has been going smoothly, we even opened a new branch at the western part of the country" Lily replied with an honest look on her face.
"Wait you opened a new branch at the western part of the country?" Ling Fei quickly asked with a surprised look on her face. And with a proud look on her face, Lily answered.
"Yes big sis. If it wasn’t for my quick wittedness and Everlyn’s manipulative nature, we wouldn’t have created this branch"
’Why didn’t the Harbingers move when they were opening the new branch. Obviously they must have heard about it, so why?’ Ling Fei thought with a pondering look on her face.
Apparently, through out the five days Hutton and Bob were in a seclusion, Ling Fei haven’t heard any news of the Harbingers being on the move either from here secret nor open networks and connections.
’Do they know that he is in seclusion already?’ Ling Fei asked herself as she frowned deeply when she thought of the eccentric cultivator who escaped from Bob’s grasp.
"Big sis!! Look! The wall is moving!!" But right when Ling Fei was going deeper into her thoughts, Lily suddenly exclaimed which brought her back to reality.
’They are finally coming out’ After figuring out what is going on, Ling Fei thought with an expectant look on her face while she pensively look at the wall moving in an odd way.
Brrrr!!
Not too long after the wall began to move oddly, Bob and Hutton slowly came out from that wall together.
’What in the...?’ Ling Fei thought with a look of disbelief on her face when she felt the aura emanating out of Hutton and Bob’s body along with how drastic the former’s appearance has changed.
Right now, Bob exuded an aura of serene power, his presence resonating with the harmonious balance of his surroundins. Each movement he made seemed effortless, yet carried the weight of profound cultivation experience.
Beside him, Hutton radiated with a newfound vitality, his youthful features illuminated by the brilliance of recent achievement, his determination and potential were evident in the fierce determination burning in his eyes.
As they stood side by side, the air crackled with anticipation, a silent acknowledgment of the journey they had both undertaken. With a nod of mutual respect, Bob and Hutton prepared to face the challenges that lay ahead, their combined strength a testament to the boundless possibilities of cultivation.
"Not bad Mr. Hutton, Not bad at all" Bob suddenly said with a light smile on his face.
"I can say the same for you Mr. Bob" Hutton replied with a light smile also on his face. But right at this time, Ling Fei suddenly exclaimed with a flushed look on her face.
"Can you guys retract your auras for goodness sake? Me and Lily is suffocating right here"
"Oh, sorry"
"Please forgive my lack of manners Young Mistress"
As soon as Bob and Hutton heard what Ling Fei said along with their reactions, they quickly retracted their auras while apologizing with a wry smile on their faces.
Heave!
Hoo!!
As soon as Bob and Hutton withdrew their auras, Both Ling Fei and Lily began to catch their breath in unison.
"So... Can I know what levels the both of you are in right now?" After calming down a little, Ling Fei asked with a calm expression on her face.
"Am in the 8th phase of the Core formation stage while Mr. Hutton is at the 2nd stage of the Core formation stage" Not wasting even a second, Bob answered with a respectful look on his face.
"Hey!! I never allowed you to say mine!!" Hutton exclaimed with a dissatisfied look on his face as he stares at Bob, but Bob didn’t even twtch his head a little as he looked straight at Ling Fei.
’2nd phase of the Core formation stage? How is it possible to make such a huge leap in cultivation levels in such a short time?’ But when Ling Fei hears what Bob said, she quickly stunned speechless as she just looked at Hutton in disbelief while she thought.
But she later decided not to dwell on it for long as she quickly said with a light smile on her face.
"Well that’s wonderful"
’She is not surprised?’ Hutton thought in surprise when he heard Ling Fei’s reply but he didn’t show it. But that couldn’t be applied to Bob.
"Aren’t you surprised Young Mistress?" Bob asked with a confused look on his face.
"Well initially I was but then I remembered he is an inheritor of an Emperor so I figured his potential must be limitless to the extent that cultivation levels isn’t a barrier for him" Ling Fei answered with a calm look on her face.
’Well she has a point their. But wait...’ Hutton thought as a question came into his mind which made him to quickly shift his gaze towards Bob and asked.

"But Mr. Bob, you never told me how you got to be a Keeper of Harmony?"
"Oh well it’s nothing serious to talk about Mr. Hutton, let’s just say I stumbled upon an altar for the Keepers of Harmony in a thick forest in China while I was training myself" Bob answered with a light smile on his face.
"Oh, ok" Hutton said as he finally calmes down. But right at this moment, Lily suddenly spoke up with an excited smile on her face.
"Mr. Hutton, aren’t you going to ask about how your restaurant is doing?"
"Oh that’s right" Hutton replied as realisation dawned on him before he quickly asked with a serious look on his face.
"How is my restaurant doing? Hope The Russian’s didn’t do something bad?"
"Oh relax Mr. Hutton, nothing major happened to your restaurant while you were gone. You should even thank Lily and your personal assistant Everlyn for elevating your restaurant to another level" Ling Fei replied with a calm smile on her face.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Hutton asked with a confused look on his face.
"Well let the propertrator tell you herself" Ling Fei said as she shifted her gaze towards Lily. Not missing the opportunity to speak, Lily quickly began to talk with a resplendent smile on her face.
"Me and Everlyn have gotten a branch for your restaurant at the western part of the country, in Houston to be more precisely"
"You got a new branch for my restaurant at the western part of the country?" Hutton asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Yeah but that is not the greatest part, the greatest part is that we got the building for the branch from a renowned restaurant at the western part called Oceans Bed restaurant" Lily said with a proud look on her face.
"You got the building from the Oceans Bed restaurant!!?" Lily exclaimed with a shocked look on her face.
"Who or what is the Oceans bed restaurant?" Hutton quickly asked when he saw the exaggerated reaction Ling Fei is giving when she heard the name Oceans Bed restaurant.

’Well that is a pretty detailed description of the restaurant’ Ling Fei thought with a speechless look on her face.
"So you are saying that this restaurant is now a property of the Green Clover restaurant?" Not minding Bob’s very detailed explanation, Hutton asked with an excited look on his face.
"Precisely" Lily responded with a satisfied look on his face when he noticed Hutton’s reaction.
