"It’s you!" Hutton said with a surprised look on his face after seeing the person who is in the hoodie.
"Long time no see Mr. Hutton" The person in the hoodie said while giving out a light chuckle.
The person in the hoodie is a Asian looking lady with a slightly red lips. Due to the hoodie she wore, Hutton couldn’t be able to see her hair at all.
Apparently, this lady was the same lady that Hutton defended against the second son of the Thomas family named Max before he got pressured by them.
Although the lady gratefully thanked Hutton for defending her, she quickly vanished right after that. Even if Hutton tried to find her during that time, he didn’t know how since that was actually the first time he saw such a unique lady visiting his restaurant.
"Why did you want to see me?" Hutton asked indifferently after gotten surprised by her sudden visit. Although he knew that she thanked the previous Hutton for what he did, he couldn’t just accept what she did to be the right thing since that was what ended up killing him.
While not minding the indifferent attitude she is getting from Hutton, she said with a light smile on her face.
"Well it’s nothing major, I just want to repay what you have done for me in the past"
"And how are you going to do that?" Hutton asked with a confused expression on his face.
"By being business partners" The lady answered still with a light smile on her face.
"Huh?" Hutton muttered with a more confused expression on his face. But not long after, his expression became cold as he said.
"Is what you said a joke or are you messing with me?"
Right now one of the things he doesn’t lack is having a business partner to expand his restaurant. Even if it’s only the Mayor of the city that is his business partner right now, he was confident of getting more due to how popular his restaurant is in the city.

"Well I knew you wouldn’t just accept my offer straight away since you don’t know who I am. So I will give you time to think things through. If you eventually accept then here is my complimentary card to contact me. If not, just toss the car away" The lady said calmly as she dropped a golden rimmed card on the table.
On the card a symbol of a phoenix could be seen at the upper left area while the word ’Ling Fei’ could also be seen in capital letters along with some numbers beneath it.
After dropping the card, the lady didn’t waste a moment longer as she stood up from her seat and left the room while Hutton stared at the card.
’I can’t believe this...’ Hutton thought with a pounding heart as he blankly stared at the card right in front of him.
The Phoenix symbol!?
This is a first class family!!!
During Hutton’s previous life, countries and even some continents were controlled by an elected government. But there was a particular continent who didn’t follow this rule, and it was the Asian continent!
The Asian continent were rulled by the various super families all across the continent. They can decide how the continent will develop and who they can partner with outside the continent.
They were even the ones that brought up the idea of creating the businessmen alliance during the World War 3 which in ultimately ended the war and brought in a new era in the world.
Due to this, the rest of the world decided to adopt the Asian method of government to further improve themselves. This brought in what they call ’Family Ranks’
These family ranks comprises of Third class, Second class, First Class, Super Class and finally the World Class family. Based on these ranks, The Thomas family which is the greatest family in Cornerstone city just barely reached the status of a Third class family while the James family which messed with Hutton during his past life is just a peak state Third class family.
So for Hutton to find out he actually have the opportunity to be business partners with an elusive First Class family, he was finding it even hard to breathe.
"Wait!!" Hutton exclaimed as he quickly rushed out of the booth after putting the complimentary card into his pocket.
"Is there a problem Mr. Hutton?" The Asian woman that apparently is named Ling Fei asked as she paused on her tracks in the 2nd floor along with her body guards before turning to face Hutton.
"I would love to be business partners with you but I will need one month to prepare myself" Hutton said after approaching Long Fei.
Although he knows being business partners with an Asian First Class family will benefit him immensely, he decided to first build himself up before doing so. If not, both him and his business might get absorbed by the First Class family influence.
"Well that isn’t a problem at all, I will come again after a month" Long Fei replied calmly before she resumed going towards the stairs entrance along with her bodyguards. But before they could enter the stairs, they unexpectedly bumped into Vivian and Rebecca who just came into the VIP floor.
"Can you excuse me?" Ling Fei spoke now in an indifferent tone. When Vivian heard this, she suddenly creased her brows as she spoke coldly.
"Excuse m–"
But before she could finish, Rebecca quickly held her hand and went to the side. After both Vivian and Rebecca went to the side, Ling Fei resumed on her steps and walked into the stairs along with her bodyguards.
"Why did you dragged me to the side to let her pass?" Vivian asked with an angry look on her face.
"Do you still remember why am here?" Instead of trying to explain things to Vivian, Rebecca suddenly asked this question with a solemn look on her face. Although this sudden question puzzled Vivian, she still answered.
"Yes I do"
After hearing Vivian giving an answer she wanted to hear, Rebecca then said after taking in a deep breath.
"Well she is the one"
"What?" Vivian quickly asked with a blank look on her face. But before she could get back to her senses, Rebecca spoke again before going back into the stairs.
"I will catch up with you later"
"Ok" Vivian replied before losing sight of Rebecca.
As for Hutton, he has already gone to his office right after his discussion with Ling Fei. Right now, he is currently with a rather large folder while Veronica stood right in front of his desk.
"Are these all the workers in the restaurant?" Hutton suddenly asked as he was skimming through the folder.
"Yes Boss" Veronica answered calmly.
"Ok, I will be leaving the restaurant in your care. If any situation crops up, don’t hesitate to call me" Hutton said as he stood up from his office chair while holding the large folder.
"You are leaving already Boss?" Veronica asked with a surprised look on her face.
"Yeah, there are things that still need my attention" Hutton said before he walked out of his office.
Not too long after, he finally walked out of his restaurant. As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he could see a crowd patiently waiting in front of his restaurant with an inpatient look on their faces.
"Why isn’t the guards pointing any of us to go into the restaurant?"
"Can’t they see that someone has walked out of the restaurant?"
While ignoring the green eyed crowd as they stared at him, Hutton unhurriedly went to his Corolla, got into the car and quickly drove off.
Still on the road, Hutton quickly made a call with the car system after being held up by a little road traffic.
Not too long after, the call quickly connected as a deep matured voice rang out from the car system.
"Mr. Hutton! This is a pleasant surprise for you to call me"
"Well Mr. Kenneth I called you for the guidance I promised you during the first time we met" Hutton said with a light smile on his face.
"Really!?" the voice rang out from the car system again now with in an excited tone.
"Yes Mr. Kenneth, now will be a good time to start the guidance" Hutton replied as he resumed driving down the road.
"Ok so am I coming to meet you or is it the opposite?" Mr. Kenneth asked from the car system.
"Just come to the Venice estate core region that is located at the southern outer region of the city, that’s where I live" Hutton said calmly.
"Ok I will be on my way" Mr. Kenneth said before he quickly disconnected the call. As for Hutton, he has already gotten into the Venice estate and is already approaching his house.
’Hmm.. who might that be?’ Hutton thought as he saw a person motionlessly standing right in front of his house. But after coming closer and seeing who it is, Hutton had a speechless look on his face as he thought.
’Why is Jake standing in front of my house?’
