’What happened to Mr. Taylor?’ at the hallway located at the last floor of the building that is owned by the company called ’Men’s Desires’, an eye patched man could be seen bending down while checking the pulse of another person who is lifelessly on the floor.
’Not good, he is dead’ The eye patched man thought with a panicked look on his face as he hurriedly stood up. But before he began to move away from Taylor who is now dead, a cold voice suddenly came into his left ear.
"And where do you think you are going?"
Bang!!
"Arhhh!!" The one eyed patched man yelled painfully as he suddenly fell to the ground. Right after that, Hutton suddenly appeared right in front of him while he pulled the trigger of the pistol in his hand three more times.
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
"Argh!!!" Throughout the time Hutton has been pulling the trigger of the gun in his hand, the one eye patched man who now have both his legs and arms useless has been yelling painfully with a terrified look on his face as he stared at Hutton while asking himself a question within him.
’Why is he here!!?’
Apparently, this one eye patched man is none other than Robert who was with Taylor the first time he confronted Hutton.
"Now that you can’t move anymore, why don’t you tell me why you weren’t here when I arrived so as I can give you a painless death?" Hutton asked as he squatted to look at Jake face to face with a light smile on his face.
Although an ordinary person will overlook why someone’s right hand man will only come when his boss will die or if the boss is in a battle. But Hutton was the complete opposite to an ordinary person since he has passed through many situations during his past life.
"N-Nothing" Robert answered with a panicked look on his face. But unfortunately for him, this his expression quickly gave him away as a liar in the face of Hutton.
"Not willing to talk huh? Well then I have no choice to do it the hard way" Hutton said calmly before he pulled the trigger again and fired precisely at Robert left collar bone.
Bang!!
"Ahh!!!" Robert gave out an excruciating scream as his face began to be filled in cold sweat. But Hutton didn’t seem to stop there as he pulled the trigger again.
"I went out to hire someone that will kill Taylor this night!!"
But before Hutton could fire again, Robert suddenly yelled with his face filled in despair.
"You went out to hire an assassin for your boss?" Hutton asked after staying silent for a moment with an icy look on his face. But Robert didn’t notice this as he answered in a flattering tone.
"I tried to help you and eliminate–"
Bang!!
But before he could finish, Hutton suddenly shoot him again with the icy look still on his face. When Robert saw and felt that he has been shot by Hutton, he quickly stared at Hutton and exclaimed.
"Why!!?"
But Hutton wasn’t fazed by his reaction as he calmly answered with a murderous look now on his face.
"Although I have many things I don’t like in this world, but the one I hate and despise the most is backstabbers like you"

Right after saying that, Robert who was slowly losing his consciousness finally fell lifelessly to the ground.
"Hiiiaam... Hooo!" after seeing Robert fall lifelessly to the ground, Hutton took in a deep breath as he tried to calm himself down before he suddenly vanished from the hallway.
Back in the room, Jake has been going through the documents throughout the time Hutton left the room till when he came back.
"Boss, it seems like we are insanely lucky this time" Jake said excitedly after seeing Hutton appearing in the room.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Hutton quickly asked with a confused look on his face as he got closer to Jake. Once he finally approached Jake, the later hurriedly gave him all the documents in his hands as he said joyfully.
"Not only is this documents for the ownership of this business. But it seems to be the ownership of all the businesses that is under the name of James Taylor"
"What!!?" Hutton exclaimed with a look of disbelief surfacing on his face. But Jake wasn’t patient enough for Hutton to calm down as he hurriedly said.
"You can go through the contents in the documents if you feel I am wrong"
When Hutton heard him, he immediately began to read through the documents one by one. But the more he was going through the documents, they more his eyes were getting brighter.
After taking a full 5 minutes to go through the documents Jake gave him in details, Hutton suddenly spoke.
"Jake"
"Yes boss?" Jake answered with an excited look on his face
"I have hit the jackpot!!" Hutton answered as he looked at Jake with a very brightly lit eyes.
The contents that were in the documents in Hutton hands state that who ever is in possession of this documents will be the original owner of all the business under the name of James Taylor.
And apparently, Taylor has three businesses under his name. One of them is the fashion company Hutton is now in while the other two is surprisingly a restaurant that is located in Cornerstone city and Star City.
’Seems like this is what that backstabber is after’ Hutton suddenly thought when he remembered Robert who is now dead because of him.
"Jake I want you to clean this place up while I go to the city hall" Hutton suddenly said as he mysteriously vanished from the room. When Jake saw this and heard what Hutton said, he immediately became curious as he thought.
’What is boss going to do in the city hall?’
But he eventually pushed that thought away as he went out of the room in a traditional way before he began to clean out the hallway that is filled with corpses.
As for Hutton, he could already be seen leaving the Men’s Desires building while he walked towards his car that is parked in a parking lot.
’Although I didn’t notice this before, but now it’s a bit strange. Why isn’t any worker in the building?’ Hutton suddenly thought with a curious look on his face while he got into the car.
But he didn’t know that it was actually a Saturday and every white collar workers is on leave. Although his workers in his restaurant are still working, they are only on duty at the weekends just like how Veronica arranged it.
After leaving that area and was on the road for only two minutes, Hutton finally arrived at the City hall.
’Seems like the city hall isn’t usually busy’ Hutton thought as he saw only a few people going in or out of the city hall. After parking the car at a parking lot, he immediately came out of it and calmly walked into the city hall with the documents in his hands.
With the help of the past Hutton’s memories, the present Hutton knew the procedures on how to change ownership of a business or company so he wasn’t worried on how things will go out.
After getting into the city hall, Hutton went straight to the only empty counter that has the sign ’Customer service’ above it.
"Excuse me but I would like to transfer the ownership of a set of businesses to a new name" Hutton said after arriving in front of the counter as he placed all the documents in his hands on it.
The person staying at the other side of the counter is a middle aged woman that have fairly smooth skin with a tied up black hair into a shape of a bun. She have a rather big eyeglasses on her pair of black eyes with a light pink lipstick on her lips.
After hearing what Hutton said and seeing the documents on the counter, the lady calmly took the documents as she quietly inspected it.
After staying silent for some moments, the lady then looked up and said to Hutton with an indifferent look on her face.
"And to what name do you want to transfer the ownership of all these businesses to?"
"Hutton Maxwell" Hutton said with a calm look on his face. After hearing what Hutton said, the lady did a slight nod before she brought out a form from behind the counter and began to fill it.
After making Hutton to wait for a good 5 minutes, the lady suddenly brought out a diamond shaped card that has a golden house embedded on it from behind the counter as she gave it to Hutton and said expressionlessly.
"Come back here in 5 business days to get your new documents for the new ownership of these businesses"
"Ok miss. Have a nice day" Hutton replied calmly as he took the card away from the lady’s hand before he turned and began to leave the counter.
But after leaving the city hall, he suddenly paused as he began to take in a deep breath. After repeatedly taking in deep breaths, a determined expression appeared on his face as he thought.
’Timothy, I am going to get you no matter the cost’
