"Are you related to the unconscious person in the van?" The captain of the policemen asked with a straight look on his face.
"No" Hutton said indifferently as he began to bring out Silent Rain out of the car.
"If you aren’t related to him then what gave you the right to...." The captain said sternly before he abruptly paused as his expression quickly changed into disbelief.
What made him have such an expression is because of Hutton whom have a calm expression on his face swiftly dragging van’s door out of it’s attachment before tossing it towards a corner of the road.
Apparently, even the other policemen, firefighters and medical personnels have a shocked expression on their faces. Only the observers in the highway didn’t have such an expression on their faces.
After dragging Silent Rain out of the car and giving him a piggy back ride, Hutton then faced the captain and asked.
"Is there any problem sir?"
"Umm... Their isn’t any problem from my side, you can please carry on with what you are doing" The captain quickly said in a much gentle voice compared to before. When Vivian saw this, she couldn’t help but giggle a little towards the policeman sudden change of tone.
"Ok sir, I will be on my way" Hutton said before looking at Vivian and Rebecca. After giving a head gesture towards them, he began to walk back the way he came to this place. Understanding Hutton, Vivian and Rebecca quickly began to follow Hutton.
"How can a human have such a strength?" After Hutton left the area along with Vivian and Rebecca, one of the firefighters couldn’t help but ask in a trembling tone.
"Brother, you can trust me when I say you absolutely don’t want to know" the firefighter right beside him replied with the same trembling tone.
...
"What!? You were nearly killed!?" While going back to Hutton’s house In his Corolla which was actually parked by an unknown person beside the road, Vivian quickly gave her dad a video call.
"Yes Dad, apparently a group of thugs planted a bomb in my car without me noticing. If not for Hutton, I wouldn’t have known how I died" Vivian said with a wry smile on her face.
"It seems like I have to tighten the security more" Powell who is currently in the mayor’s office said with a solemn look on his face.
"But fortunately, Hutton caught one of the thugs that were stalking me so as to know why they are doing this" Vivian said as she kept the phone right in front of the unconscious Silent Rain.
"Looks like I owe Hutton a favor again" Powell said with a wry smile on his face. Although he gave Hutton the offer of being Vivian’s personal bodyguard, that will only be when she goes on an occasion or event in the city.
"You don’t have to be that way Mayor, I was just lending a helping hand. Besides, I think they were also after me so you can say I was also a victim" Hutton suddenly spoke up with a calm smile on his face.
"They were also after you?" Powell asked with a surprised expression on his face.
"Yeah. And not only that, but from the information I got from another thug in the same group, I think they were hired from someone in the James family" Hutton answered with a faint killing intent exuding from his body.
"It seems like they haven’t given up yet" Powell said with a gloomy look on his face. Due to what happened to him and his family a few days ago, he quickly decided to be business partners with a family that has equal status with the James family.
Although this act of his made the James family to back off from completely dealing with him, it seems like they were still fully intent on causing him some troubles.
"But you don’t have to worry too much Mr. Powell. Now that they have dragged me into this mess, then they will have to face my wrath" Hutton said in a tone full of confidence. When Powell heard this, he suddenly felt happy inside.
Based on his evaluation f Hutton, he thinks Hutton is a Grandmaster ranked fighters. In this time and era, Grandmaster ranked fighters are held in the highest regard. Why it is so is because these kind of people have the power to wipe out a whole family from the face of the earth with their strength alone.
In Powell thoughts, Hutton is fully capable of clashing with the James family which he couldn’t help but feel elated by it.
"No way! How can you fight the James family!? Do you know who they are!?" Unlike Powell who was confident in Hutton’s strength, Vivian was the exact opposite as she exclaimed with a horror strike look on her face. Even Rebecca also have a shocked look on her face as she stared at Hutton who is beside her.
The James family is a very renowned family in the country. Not only are they the head family in one of the main cities in the country, but they also have influence in many other cities. Although they don’t have any influence in the Cornerstone city, they do have influence at one of the neighbouring cities.
"Relax Vivian, Hutton is fully capable in fighting the James family" Powell explained with a light smile on his face.

"Dad!!?" Vivian exclaimed with a disbelieving look on her face. She would have never expected her to approve of Hutton decision.
"You don’t have to be like this Vivian. I know what am doing and what am fully capable of" Hutton suddenly said in a confident tone.
"Vivian, I think you should believe him in this one" Rebecca suddenly contributed with a firm look on her face. Even if she was slightly doubtful to what Hutton can do to the James family, she had no choice but to believe him due his shocking display of power he showed earlier.
When she saw that even Rebecca has agreed to what Hutton has decided, she had no more choice than to believe in him.
"Wait? Why does that voice sound familiar?" Powell suddenly asked from the video call he still had with Vivian.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you dad, but Rebecca is now with me in the city" Vivian hurriedly said as realization dawned on her.
"Rebecca? Is it the Rebecca that I know?" Powell asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes dad" Vivian said while doing an approving nod. At this time, Rebecca quickly spoke up.
"Good day sir, am sorry I didn’t meet you after I got into your city. I was unexpectedly held up with something"
"Oh you don’t have to feel bothered by that. Once you have the time, come and visit this old man" Powell said with a light chuckle.
"Thank you sir" Rebecca said as she silently sighed in relief. After that, Vivian began to have a private conversation with Powell while Hutton drived them back to the Venice estate.
After arriving in front of Hutton’s house in the Venice estate, Rebecca and Vivian chose to part ways with him as they went to Rebecca’s home which is right behind Hutton’s.
’Huh? Where am I?’ Silent Rain thought as he observed where he is currently in with a curious look on his face. Currently, he is in a very dark room as apart from the chair he is bound in, he couldn’t see anything else in his surroundings.
"Oh good, you are finally awake" a voice suddenly rang out in the room as Silent Rain saw a silhouette approaching him.
"Who are you and why did you bring me here?" Silent Rain asked with a grim look on his face.
"Oh? You can’t recognize me through my voice? Then it seems I will have to reveal myself then" The silhouette suddenly said as he came closer to Silent Rain.
As soon as he came closer, Silent Rain could finally see the face of the person coming towards him. But after he saw this face, his expression quickly became full of horror.
"W-Wh.. What are... You planning on... Doing to me?" Silent Rain stuttered as cold sweat began to soak the back of his clothes.
"The first time we met, didn’t I tell you that if I get my hands on you, you will experience torture that you will never believed existed?" Hutton asked with an evil grin on his face before he brought out a miniature drill out from his right pocket.
"What are you planning on doing with that?" Silent Rain asked with a panicked look on his face.
"Oh nothing much. I just want to use it to get some answers I currently need" Hutton answered as he gently caressed the drill.
"What kind of questions? And from who?" Silent Rain quickly asked again as a bad feeling exploded within him. But Hutton didn’t answer him this time as he suddenly asked a question of his own in deep and chilling voice.
"Now my first question is, who hired you?"
