"Is this where the event you told me about is holding?" Hutton asked Vivian after stopping the white Porsche car at a rather desolate road in front of a five storey villa.
"Yeah" Vivian said with an excited smile on her face as she immediately got out of the car.
’But am not seeing anything that shows an event is going on here’ Hutton thought as he observed the lonely road with a confused look on his face.
"Hutton aren’t you coming?" Vivian suddenly exclaimed a distance away from the car. When Hutton heard her, he immediately removed those thoughts away from his head as he got off the car and met Vivian.
"Can I ask who is the owner of this five storey villa?" Hutton suddenly asked as they walked towards the five storey villa’s entrance.
"My mentor" Vivian replied with a sweet smile on her face. The five storey villa covers a wide area beside the road as the front yard alone could be contain Rebecca’s house that is in the Venice estate back at Cornerstone city.
And in this front yard, various kinds of flowers could be seen lined up at the edges which gave the environment a sweet yet calm vibe.
"Your mentor? And who is that?" Hutton asked with a surprised look on his face. He would have never thought that Vivian would have a mentor in such a lively city.
"Well I would say he was my best teacher back when I was still in school. After I graduated, he was the one that guide me till I became the owner of the Star Shopping Mall so I can say he is my mentor" Vivian explained with a gratified look on her face.
At this time, Vivian and Hutton have already arrived at the villa’s main entrance. Right after they arrived, Vivian quickly pressed the button of the house doorbell.
Not too long after, the door blocking Hutton and Vivian’s way finally opened as a slightly aged man came into Hutton and Vivian’s sights.
This slightly aged man has a neatly arranged gray hair with a pair of brown wise looking eyes. He wore a rare gray suit that covered his height of 6 foot 2 inches with a pair of white gloves in his hands.
When this slightly aged man saw Vivian, he immediately have a surprised look on his face as he spoke.

"Oh Vivian, I never knew you were in the city"
"I just got back Mr. Lambert. Is my mentor inside?" Vivian asked with a friendly smile on her face. As for Hutton, his heart is currently pounding intensely as soon as his eyes landed on the slightly aged man while he thought.
’What a suffocating aura!’
Although Lambert might look like a gentle and calm aged man, but to Hutton he looks like a top rated international level mercenary that have already grasp the mysteries of internal force.
In the mercenary world, they have two kinds of mercenaries which are the local type which is the basic level and the international type which is called by most people ’the world of monsters’
In the international type of mercenaries, that is where the real brutality and cruelty of being a mercenary lies. And for someone to be a top rated mercenary in such a world, that person will not only need the talent and gift to reach there, but they will need to have a firm resolve and determination to do whatever it takes to get there.
So for Hutton to see such a person in such a desolate and lonely road, he is immensely shocked speechless.
"Yes he is. But before you go meet him, can you please introduce your friend to me?" Lambert replied as his eyes landed on Hutton. When Hutton saw that friendly yet cold look on Lambert’s eyes, he couldn’t help but shudder internally.
’Even if I just learned a forbidden arts, am not sure I can defeat even if I use my full strength’ Hutton thought nervously while he looked right back at Lambert with a calm look on his face.
"Oh please forgive my manners Mr. Lambert. His name is Hutton and he was my part time personal bodyguard but now he one of my close friends" Vivian answered in a jovial tone.
"A part time personal bodyguard huh?" Lambert muttered as he looked at Hutton deeply. When Hutton saw this deep look, he felt he couldn’t stay quiet anymore as he greeted.
"Good day senior"
But Lambert didn’t respond as he quietly looked at Hutton deeply. But not too long after, he gaze quickly came back to normal as he said with a friendly smile on his face.
"You both can come in now. Your mentor is at the middle courtyard playing chess again"
"Playing chess alone again?" Vivian asked in a helpless tone as both her and Hutton got into the house with Lambert leading them.
’This house is actually comparable to my house during my past life’ Hutton thought with a shocked look on his face as he observed the inner part of the villa.
After a few minutes passed of going through a few passages and rooms, they finally arrived at a courtyard where they could see an aged man sitting on a simple chair while putting all his attention on the chess right in front of him on a table.
This aged man is a tanned man that has pure white hair and beards on his face. His eyes look both sharp and deep, while he wore a casual clothes of a Tshirt and shorts.
Although he might look aged, but his body is brimming with a youthful yet dignified aura which might make him look mysterious.
"Mr. Boma, am sorry for disturbing but your mentee and her friend is here to see you" Lambert suddenly spoke after he arrived right next to the aged man with Hutton and Vivian which distracted the aged man a little.
"You don’t have to feel sorry about this as long it’s about my little Vivian" Boma suddenly replied with a warm smile on his face as his gaze landed on Vivian.
"Am back mentor" Vivian said with a grateful look on her face. If it wasn’t for this man right in front of him, she wouldn’t have been who she is today.
"Well I can see that. How have you been during the time you were out of Star City?" Boma asked with a soft tone.
"I have been doing very well mentor but that’s not the main reason am here" Vivian said as her eyes landed on Hutton. As for Hutton himself, his heart has already skipped a beat after his eyes landed on Boma as he thought.
’How can such a great personage be in such a lonely and desolate road!!?’
Based on the aura he is sensing alone, he was certain that the aged man right in front of him is twice as strong as Lambert. Not only is he sensing a sharp and deep aura from Boma, but he is also sensing a faint mysterious aura from him which is a feeling of death welling up in him.
"I already know. You must be here because of your friend" Boma replied as his gaze landed on Hutton. This time Hutton didn’t wait for even a moment longer after Boma put his gaze on him as he greeted respectfully.
"Greetings Venerable senior"
But just like Lambert, Boma didn’t respond to Hutton greeting as he just look at Hutton calmly. But not too long after, he suddenly asked in a probing tone.
"How would you like to play a game of chess with me?"
’Eh?’ Hutton thought as he grew bewildered internally but he remained calm outwardly while answering.
"It would be my honor senior"
"Then go have a seat" Boma said as he pointed towards a chair at the other side ofthe side. When Hutton saw this, he immediately went to that chair and sat down.
After seeing Hutton sit down, he immediately did a slow yet mysterious hand movement which suddenly made the wind around the table to rise abnormally.
’What is going on? What is he doing?’ both Hutton and Vivian thought with confused look on their faces while they observed the strange wind revolving around the table and Boma strange hand movement. It was only Lambert who is behind Boma remained calm after seeing this abnormal scene. This strange scene didn’t stay for too long though as something unexpected happened next.
Xiu...!!
Thump!!
"How!!?" Hutton and Vivian exclaimed in disbelief after seeing the chess pieces arranging themselves with the abnormal wind that previously revolved around the table which more shockingly was created through Boma’s strange hand movement.
’What and how the f*ck did he do it?’ Hutton thought in disbelief as he looked at Boma. But Boma just had a friendly smile on his face as he spoke.
"Since I am just an old chess player, you will go first"
