"Well it is regarding the proposal of being business partners" Ling Fei replied with a serious look on her face.
"What about it?" Hutton asked with a curious look on his face.
"I will be going back to China tomorrow and I will also be unreachable for the time being. So am here to get an immediate answer from you if you would like to be business partners with me or not" Ling Fei said in an serious tone.
"What?" Both Hutton and Vivian said with a shocked look on their faces. Hutton is shocked due to the sudden news Ling Fei just told him while Vivian is shocked based on finding out that Hutton could actually be business partners with her.
’It seems like Rebecca was right when said he was mysterious’ Vivian thought as she secretly glanced at him.
"So what is your choice? A yes or a no?" Ling Fei asked with a calm look now on her face. After pondering about it for some moments, Hutton suddenly asked.
"In what way are we going to be business partners?"
"It’s pretty simple, I will help you expand your business over to my home country while I get 10% of your restaurant shares" Ling Fei said with a profound smile on her face.
When Hutton heard her, he slightly frowned as he fell deep in thoughts again. After a few minutes went by, he finally came back to his senses as he said in an resolute tone.
"I agree but you will need to give me a week to prepare himself"
Now that he was sure he will be business partners with Powell in a few days time, he wasn’t afraid of his business absorbing into the Ling family which made him to agree on Ling Fei’s suggestion.
But he hasn’t even begun planning on how to expand the business with Powell’s Angel Paradise hotel not to talk of the expansion the restaurant will go through once a Young Mistress of a first class family comes into fray.
So what he urgently need right now is time in other to plan for the future of his restaurant.
"Sure, my personal assistant will meet with you in a weeks time" Ling Fei said with a friendly smile on her face as she turned to go back. But right then, she saw Bowell who is quietly standing at the corner of the room with a nervous look on his face.
"Oh, I almost forgot about him. Please spare him, he isn’t the reason those two aged people could track you" Ling Fei suddenly said as her back was still facing Hutton.
"Huh? Then who is?" Hutton asked in an indifferent tone as he looked at Bowell coldly.
"Actually, he was the one who brought us to the hospital and was with us all along. Those old guys might have sneakily followed us out of my bodyguards perception to this place and immediately pounced on him and eventually you when we weren’t looking" Ling Fei said with a light smile on her face.
When Hutton heard her, he remained silent as he stared at Bowell who frantically nodding his head deeply. After a short moment, Hutton finally shift his gaze away as he said.
"Alright"
"Thank you for your benevolence Mr. Hutton and Mrs. Ling Fei!" Bowell exclaimed in a joyous tone while being continuously. But both Hutton and Ling Fei ignored him completely as the later said her goodbyes to the former.
"Mr. Hutton, What you have been desiring from me is in this scroll. Please take it and handle it with care" Bob suddenly said as he brought out an ancient looking scroll from his pocket.
When Hutton saw this scroll, his heart started pounding heavily as he strongly had the urge to quickly snatch the scroll away from Bob before he changed his mind.
But in the end, he was still calm and composed outwardly as he said with a gratitude smile on his face.
"I will Mr. Bob. Looks like I owe you double now"
"And like I said earlier, you don’t have to mention it" Bob said with a light smile now on his face before he followed the other bodyguard out of the room.
But before they left the room, the tanned bodyguard secretly glanced at Hutton one more time before leaving. Of cause, Hutton felt his gaze which felt faintly sharp on him and made him to be on guard.
’I wonder how strong he is’ Hutton thought with a look of wonder all over his face. As for Bowell, he quietly left the room with a relaxed look on his face.
"We should get you discharged since you look perfectly ok" Vivian suddenly said which brought Hutton back to his senses.
"Yeah we should. But before that, I need an explanation from you" Hutton said as he looked at Vivian with a strange look on his face.
Up till now, he is still having it hard to believe that the young lady right in front of him is actually the owner of a very prestigious shopping mall in the whole country.
"What kind of explanation do you need from me?" Vivian asked in a low tone as she tried to avoid Hutton’s gaze with her cheeks slightly red
"The explanation of you not telling me you were actually the owner of a very famous Shopping Mall in the whole country or possibly even the world" Hutton said as he refused to back down even after seeing a very cute side of Vivian.
"My dad forbade me from telling anyone I was the owner of the shopping mall that’s why I didn’t tell you. Even my two brothers don’t know am the owner of that shopping mall" Vivian explained still with a very low voice.
When Hutton heard the explanation Vivian gave him, he eventually calmed down since what she said made sense.
If Powell told her not to tell a single soul that she was the owner of the Star Shopping Mall, that would mean he obviously knew something bad will happen to her if she did.
And if even her two senior brothers didn’t know about it, then Hutton who is just her part time personal bodyguard or a friend have no right to know about it.
’But how did she made the shopping mall so famous right from this little city?’ Hutton thought with a wondering look on his face. But he didn’t dwell on it for too long as he said to Vivian who have her head lowered like a child who is about to recieve punishment.
"Alright, you don’t have to feel so miserable, I won’t question you again"
"Really?" Vivian said as she abruptly raised up her head with shinning eyes.
"Yes, but you need to tell your dad to tighten this part of your identity even more. Since Ling Fei could be able to know who you are, then that will mean others who wants you dead might already know who you are" Hutton said with a solemn look on his face.
When Vivian heard him, her expression quickly became serious as she replied in the same solemn tone.
"I understand"
And so, after arranging the room back to the way it was, Vivian escorted Hutton as he went to discharge himself out of the hospital.
"Are you following me back to my house or we are seperating ways?" Hutton asked after they left the hospital and stood at the section that connected the hospital’s parking lot and the major road.
’He isn’t even escorting me back to y2y place, so heartless!’ Vivian thought as she pouted with her face. But she quickly came back to normal right before Hutton could notice as she said.
"Nahh, I will be going back to my house"
"Ok, safe journey on your trip" Hutton said friendly as he suddenly went into the parking lot. When Vivian saw this, she immediately stomped her left feet onto the ground in frustration.
But Hutton didn’t notice as not too long after, he arrived at where his car is parked and got into it.
’Now that I have a forbidden arts scroll, I can now be truly invincible in this world’ Hutton thought with an excited smile on his face.
During Hutton’s past life, apart from people who could do the forbidden arts, no one else could be his match when it comes to close combat no matter how many they were that ganged up against him. This was due to the countless life and death battles he has experienced through out the time he was climbing through the ranks of the military which made him have an unprecedented battle experience.
And now in his current life, with the help of the forbidden arts scroll that is currently in his possession and having unlocked his full power on the body he is in, he can now fully declare himself as truly invincible in this world.

Although the severe injuries he received from the aged woman’s forbidden arts palm strike was really life threatening for him, it was actually a blessing in disguise as not only did it automatically allowed him to display his 100% power of his previous life, but it also even tempered his body slightly even further.
’But even if I am currently invincible in close combat in this world, I still need some guns as some long range weapons could still kill me’ Hutton thought with a pondering look on his face as he drove his Corolla out of the hospital parking lot.
’Seems like I will need to contact Jake about how to get a weapon license in the city’ Hutton thought while still on the road leading to the estate his house is in.
