’Sh*t’ Hutton thought with a startled look on his face as he hurriedly vanished from where he stood along with Jake.
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!....
As soon as Hutton and Jake vanished from the hallway, the five burly men who were now with a black colored pistol began to shoot repeatedly.
’What just happened?’ Jake thought with a blank look on his face as he suddenly saw himself in a room which seems to be created for conference meetings as a round table could be seen at the middle of the room while several office chair encircled it.
But before he could understand what was going on, he suddenly heard Hutton’s voice from a very close range.
"Wait here"
"Ok boss" Jake muttered involuntarily with the blank look still on his face. Back at the hallway, after repeatedly firing for a good one minute, the five burly men finally stopped as Taylor slowly came out of the room he previously dived into.
’Did they kill him?’ Taylor thought as he began to check the surroundings hoping he will see Hutton struggling on the floor. But before he could check the whole surroundings, he suddenly heard a shocking noice behind him.
Bang!
"Argh!!!" one of the burly men exclaimed with a pained look on his face as he hurriedly held his right arm with his left hand. On the right arm, someone could see blood dripping down from inside the suit the burly man wore.
When the other burly men saw this, there expression quickly became grave as they hurriedly created a gap between each other. But that couldn’t prevent what happened next.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ahh!!!" The remaining four burly men suddenly exclaimed in unison as they all held their right arm. If someone look closely, they will clearly see that blood is also dripping down their right arm from inside the suit.
"What is going on with you all!!?" Taylor exclaimed with a terrified expression on his face as he stared the five burly men who were holding their right hand in deep pain.
But before he could get an answer from them, he suddenly heard a cold and icy voice that was really close to his right ear.
"Why don’t I show you"
Bang!!
"Ahh!!!" Taylor exclaimed with an expression that is formed from both pain and fear as he held his right hand while being soaked in cold sweat.
"Do you now know what is wrong with them?"
Just then, Taylor saw Hutton appearing right in front of him with a pistol also in his hand while having a playful smile on his face.
"K-Kill him!!!" But Taylor refused to give up as he exclaimed with a maddened look on his face. When Hutton heard him and saw his expression, his expression immediately grew cold as he suddenly vanished again.
Xiu....!!
But not too long after, Hutton reappeared back at the same place he vanished from. Unlike the last time he vanished, he now have a silver glittering dagger in his right hands while he used the left hand to clean the dagger with a simple looking clothe.
"Are you guys deaf!!? Didn’t I tell you to kill him!!?" But Taylor didn’t notice all these as he yelled at the five burly men with an insane look on his face. But even then, the five burly men didn’t even react to what Taylor was saying as they just stared at the open space in the hallway with a dazed look on their faces.
Slii....
But not too long after, the heads of the five burly men suddenly slide down from there necks before heavily slamming on the ground. Right after that, the bodies followed the head while spraying out huge amounts of blood.
’Huh?’ Taylor thought with a blank look on his face as he stared at the now dead men who were lifelessly lying on the floor.
Apparently, these five burly men were Master ranked fighters who have been relatively well known in the mercenary world. Along with the Grandmaster ranked fighter Hutton killed in front of Taylor back at the first time they met made up the entire top brass security in the Men’s Wears Fashion company.
But now that he has seen both the Grandmaster ranked fighter and the five master ranked fighters being mercilessly killed by the same person he wanted to destroy like a ’thing’, he began to fall into despair.
"Are you now resigned to your fate?" Hutton calmly asked as he put the dagger into a little belt pocket at his back before getting closer to Taylor with a light smile on his face.
"Sp-Spare me..." Taylor struggled to say in despair as he weakly fell to his knees not minding his right hand that is completely broken and soaked in his blood.
"Spare you? And why should I do that? You nearly got me killed you know?" Hutton said with a baffled look on his face as he finally arrived right in front of Taylor before squatting to be in the same height as Taylor.
While staring at the despairing look on Taylor’s face, Hutton suddenly brought out a rather sweet smile on his face as he said.
"But you know, I will need you to answer some of my questions later before I make you have a nice long sleep so wait for me"
Right after that, Hutton suddenly gave Taylor a quick jab on his left shoulder which immediately made him go unconscious as he motionlessly fell to the floor.
"Boss, why is it that you keep on getting cooler and cooler?" Jake suddenly said while coming out of the conference room with a brightly lit eyes.
But Hutton didn’t have the time to reply to Jake as he immediately went into the room Taylor previously dived into before his five security guards began to shoot.
’This should be the place’ Hutton thought as he went towards where a picture is being hung on the wall. The picture depicted a little boat braving through a fierce thunderstorm and an unsettling sea.
After arriving in front of the picture, Hutton quickly took hold of the picture and finally removed it from the wall.
’Seems like my perception was right’ Hutton thought with a victorious smile on his face while he stared at the vault that is well hidden in the hole which was behind the picture Hutton brought down.
Apparently, right before Hutton and Jake got into the building, the former immediately spread his senses all over the building in other to know where Taylor was located since he already knew that he will be there through some reliable source.
And by the time he felt Taylor’s presence in the building, he felt right at the spot he is standing right now. Not only that but he could feel a really small space in the wall right in front of Taylor which made him deduce that there must be a secret there.
Due to many military and martial arts training, meditation, self observations and life and death situations he has gone through during his past life, Hutton’s perception could be described as one of the broadest and sharpest one among all the humans living in the same era with him.
"Boss, how did you know that a vault will be there?" Jake asked with a shocked look on his scar face.
"Just a hunch" Hutton answered with a light smile on his face as he gently brought out the vault out of the hole and kept it on the office desk at his right hand side.
"But boss, even if we have found this vault, how are we going to open it since we don’t have the combination lock code and you have already made him go unconscious?" Jake suddenly asked with a worried look on his face.
"Oh Jake, I made him go unconscious because we don’t need him anymore and I meant it" Hutton said still with a light smile on his face as he used his right fingers to gently grap the combination lock.

"But boss–" Jake said again anxiously before he was abruptly interrupted.
Bang!!
"You see, that guy really isn’t needed" Hutton said with a calm smile on his face as he slowly put his hands into the vault that has now been burst open. As for Jake, he was just blankly looking at Hutton as he thought.
’What a monster....’
After putting his hands inside the vault and bringing out what seems to be a document inside, Hutton began to read it.
"Hahaha, it seems like the heavens is on our side" Hutton said with a joyous look on his face.
"Can I know what that documents is for boss?" Jake asked with a curious look on his face.
"Well it’s a bit complicated to explain to you clearly what this documents is for but I can say it’s like the ’deed’[1] for the business" Hutton explained with a delighted look on his face.
Now that Hutton has gotten his hands onto these documents, it has saved him from a huge deal of hassle and stress in the future when he wants to overthrow Taylor in this company.
"Really!!?" Jake exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face. He would have never expected it was so simple to get the documents that will allow any one to be the owner of such a famous company so easily.
"Mr. Taylor!!" But while Hutton and Jake were being ecstatic over getting the documents that will allow them to be the owner of such a company, they suddenly heard a deep voice right outside the room.
’Seems like he is finally back’ Hutton thought with a sinister smile on his face as he said to Jake.
"Wait right here"
