’This should keep him busy for a while’ Hutton thought as he looked at Kenneth who has run out of his house.
The medicinal herbs he listed in the piece of paper he gave to Kenneth were exceedingly rare herbs he stumbled upon when he was on a mission in Japan during his past life.
Although he still haven’t gotten the grasp of the situation in the era he is currently in, he refused to believe that it might caused those herbs he stumbled upon to be slightly less rare.
While Hutton were having these thoughts in his mind, he phone suddenly rang in his left pocket which brought him back to his senses.

"Yes Veronica, Did something happened there?" Hutton asked while getting seated on one of the sofa in the living room before turning on the TV.
"Boss, we have struck gold!" Veronica exclaimed out of Hutton’s phone in an all time high excited tone. As for Hutton, after putting his phone back on his ear, he asked curiously.
"Why? What happened there?"
"Boss, in not less than 10 hours of opening the restaurant, we have raked in a pure profit of one million bucks!!" Veronica answered still in the same excited tone.
"How is this possible!!?" Hutton exclaimed with a disbelieving look on his face. Just getting the total money of one million bucks in 10 hours of the restaurant being open is unbelievable, not to talk of getting one million bucks of pure profit.
To understand the situation, the most expensive dish in the restaurant’s food menu Hamilton prepared only cost 5,000 bucks. If up to a 100 customers are in the restaurant and they all order the most expensive dish , it will only bring out the total amount of 500,000 bucks which won’t even be able to pay all the staff working in the restaurant.
The only way this was possible is if at least a thousand customers walk into the restaurant with the 10 hours and order nothing less than the 5,000 bucks dish which is Hamilton specialty. And also, this possibility doesn’t exclude the current VIP that have a 10% discount.
’A thousand fat customers...’ Hutton thought as he immediately fell into a daze. But Veronica didn’t seem to notice this as she said excitedly.
"Sir I will be sending the money to your account if you still have doubts"
And in not less than five minutes, a notification ringtone rang out from Hutton phone whichade him to come back to his senses. When Hutton saw the notification that has appeared on his phone, he involuntarily shuddered as he thought incredulously.
’Am rich!’
Throughout the time he reincarnated into this era, he has never held this kind of money in his hands without having to worry about something. But now that he has solved all his immediate problems, he can now consider himself to be a rich guy.
Although he was nowhere close to being how rich he was during his past life, he knew that he is slowly going towards that level.
While Hutton was having those thoughts in his mind, he doorbell suddenly rang out from the entrance.
’That should be Jake’ Hutton thought as he went to open the door. After opening the door, Jake excitedly said after seeing Hutton’s face.
"Sir, I have successfully resigned from the work"
"Ok now give me your contact" Hutton said with a calm smile on his face as he held out his phone.
"Ok Si– Boss" Jake said while slightly changing tone as he brought out his worn out looking android phone. After exchanging contacts with Jake, Hutton suddenly began to send him some messages.
While looking at the messages Hutton is sending with a confused look on his face, Jake asked.
"Boss, why are you sending me this?"
"Those will be your training mission. I want you to acquire all the information related to what I just sent you" Hutton said with a calm smile on his face.
The things he sent to Jake is the names of the top companies in the city apart from the Mayor’s hotel business.
"A training mission?" Jake said with a crestfallen expression on his face. But Hutton knew what was on his mind as he suddenly said with a light chuckle.
"And of cause, if you complete this mission, I will reward you with 100,000 bucks"
"What!?" Jake quickly exclaimed with a shocked expression on his face. In all his life, he hasn’t received that kind of money before.
What the Venice pay him when he was still working for them as a guard is 60,000 bucks which Jake was already satisfied with. But when he heard that he will get almost double of what they used to pay him if he completes his training, he suddenly had the feeling if he was dreaming.
"Of cause, there is a condition to this training mission" Hutton said after noticing the strange expression on Jake’s face.
"What’s the condition boss?" Jake asked after sighing in relief within him.
"You will have to complete this training in one month. If you don’t do so, you will only get 10% of the reward I should give you" Hutton stated with a probing look on his face.
"One month... There is no problem boss, so when can I start" Jake said as his expression changed from a worrying look to a determined expression.
"Your mission will start now" Hutton said as he turned his head backwards before staring at a clock which is hung on the wall right beside the TV. Right now, the clock is showing that time is 30 minutes past 3.
"Ok wish me luck boss" Jake said as he suddenly left Hutton house before leaving that street entirely.
’At least these will make me know my competitors and my enemies before I clash with them’ Hutton thought with a relieved smile on his face.
Apparently, among the names he sent as a list to Jake, the James family is one of them. Although he wasn’t fully confident that he will get all the information he needs from Jake training, at least it will help him to know where he will start from.
’Right now am currently not in the position to do this kind of work so I really hope Jake won’t disappoint me’ Hutton thought as he turned to walk into his house.
But before he could walk into his room, his phone which was still in his hand suddenly rang.
"Hello Vivian, why did you call?" Hutton asked on the phone as he walked into his house.
"Well first of all, congratulations on your restaurant’s reopening" Vivian said while she was still at the Green Clover restaurant.
"Thanks" Hutton replied as he sat down on the same spot he previously sat down on the sofa in the living room.
"Secondly, I need you to do me a favor" Vivian said with a worried look now on her face.
"What kind of favor?" Hutton asked with a curious expression on his face. Throughout the time he knew Vivian, she has never spoken like this which made Hutton to wonder what kind of favor she is asking him.
"Well it is related to Rebecca" Vivian said still in the worrying tone.
"What happened to her?" Hutton quickly asked as he creased his brows.
"Although I promised Rebecca that I wouldn’t tell this to anyone, but I just couldn’t allow her to do this alone and without protection" Vivian said with a downcast expression on her face.
"Ok...." Hutton said with a confused expression on his face.
"Ok it’s like this, Rebecca came to this city because her dad told her that an Asian first class family’s member might be here and he also assigned to her that she should become business partners with the person at any means possible due to the crisis they were facing..."
"Who is Rebecca’s dad?" Hutton asked as he felt that he wasn’t getting something right.
"Rebecca’s dad is the family head of a second class family that is residing in a major city at the eastern part of the country" Vivian explained.
’Ok that was unexpected’ Hutton thought with a surprised expression on his face. But he still calm himself down pretty quickly before asking.
"So why do you need my favor?"
"Well right after Rebecca got into the city, some of her family’s enemies got wind of it and have already hired some mercenaries to assassinate her. Although her dad have already hired some bodyguards for her, but they haven’t gotten to the city yet and now that she has seen the person she is looking for and even know the person will be attending an event this night at the inner region of the city, she is exceedingly determined to also attend the event" Vivian explained worriedly.
"So you want me to accompany her to the event?" Hutton asked with a calm look now on his face.
"Yes please" Vivian answered in a pleading tone. After pondering for a while, Hutton finally gave her an answer.
"Ok, no problem"
