It is a new day in Star City. In this city, you can see the a group of children on matching outfits going to the school, a shop vendor just opening his store, white collar workers just leaving their houses to go to their various places of work and so much more.

And while all these were going on, somewhere within the eastern part of the inner region of Star City, inside a VIP suite of an extremely renowned hotel across various cities in the country, a shirtless young man could be seen doing pull ups on the ground right next to a king sized bed.

"121, 122, 123, 124..." Hutton said while he was doing pushups along with sweating profusely all over his upper body.

But just then, his phone which is on the table right beside his bed suddenly ringed which immediately made him pause on his push-ups.

’Huh? Who is calling me so early in the morning?’ Hutton thought with a confused look on his face as he approached the table his phone is on.

"Hello, this is Hutton speaking" Hutton eventually said after he picked up his phone and connected the call.

"Boss this is Jake Rowell speaking, am sorry for calling you this early but their is an urgent situation that I need to tell you" A panicked voice which apparently belongs to Jake sounded out of Hutton’s phone.

"What urgent matter do you want to tell me?" Hutton asked with a slight frown on his face.

"Ok it is like this boss, while I was getting all the relevant information about the top companies and families in this city, I stumbled upon a very secretive news that one of the first class family called the Pedri’s family is having a secret plan on taking the Green Clover restaurant out of business all across the cities they are in which you own. After getting this news, I hurriedly got into a phone booth nearby and now am calling you" Jake explained with a more panicked look on his face.

’The Pedri Family? Why are they planning against me?’ Hutton thought with a pondering look on his face. But before he could find out a reason they are planning against him, a knock suddenly came into the room from the door which brought Hutton back to his senses.

"Who is there?" Hutton asked as he slowly walked towards the door. But before he could reach it, the door suddenly opened as Hutton saw a young lady that have a cold look on her face while being in a simple suit.

When Hutton saw her, realisation dawned upon him why th Pedri Family is planning against him. But he wasn’t silent for long as his expression became ice cold while killing intent began to leak out of his body and surrounded the room.

"Why are you here?" Hutton eventually asked in a cold tone as he stared at the young woman in front of him. But the woman didn’t seem fazed by his reactions as she said.

"My young master is waiting for you at the resting lounge in the hotel. I suggest you follow me now if you don’t want to suffer some severe consequences"

Apparently, this woman that is standing right in front of Hutton is the same woman that Hutton confronted when he went back to the airport to go and pick up Vivian.

’Seems like I need to get some answers from Vivian about the people I just offended for her’ Hutton thought with a grim look on his face. But he later replied to the young woman in front of him.

"Lead the way then"

"Follow me" The woman said as she suddenly turned and left the room while being followed by Hutton.

At the fifth floor of the Angels Paradise hotel is where the resting lounge is located. In this resting lounge, you could see various kinds of people sitting on the sofas scattered all over the floor as some are seen pressing their phones, playing board games, having a few discussions amongst themselves and finally watching TV.

While all these things were happening on the resting lounge, a young man that is surrounded by a few burly bodyguards could be seen at a remote corner of the lounge. Why that corner is remote is because no one is willing or even dared to go their due to the intimidation they are getting while just staring at the bodyguards surroundings the young man.

"Shh, do you know who that young man over there is?"

"Him? I don’t think I know"

"Wait, I think I remember who he is, his name is Fernando and he is the next person in line of being the head of the Pedri Family"

"What!? Isn’t the Pedri Family a first class family?"

"Yes they are but am more curious as to why such a person is in this lounge"

While the people in the lounge were having a discussion amongst themselves, a young woman and a young man suddenly walked into the lounge.

The young woman wore a simple female black suit while the young man only wore a simple yet colorful shorts while a white towel could be seen over his shoulder while dangling down as it covered some parts of his bare body.

’Seems like I should have worn a shirt before I left my room’ Hutton thought with a weird look on his face as he observed a few people who are secretly looking at his body especially the women.

But it didn’t take him too long for him to come back to normal as he and the young woman arrived at the remote corner where the young man that is protected by the burly bodyguards is.

When the young man saw that Hutton and the young woman have arrived, he spoke indifferently.

"Have a seat"

But Hutton behaved like as if he didn’t hear him as he first stretched his body a little before he took out his phone from one of his pockets and made a call with it.

"Good morning boss"

Not too long after he made the call, a pleasant and feminine voice sounded out of the phone which apparently belonged to Veronica.

"Morning, why I called you is because I want both you and all my employees to go on a break for today along with a 10,000 bucks break reward" Hutton said with a light smile on his face. When the young man sitting in front of him saw how Hutton is behaving, his expression quickly grew cold while the bodyguards around him began to emit a very dense killing intent that it began to affect some people close by.

But Hutton didn’t even flinch by this intent as he got another question from Veronica in a confused tone

"We should take a break for today? A 10,000 bucks break reward? But why?"

"Just put it as my goodwill to you guys for the hard work you all have put into the business" Hutton said with a light smile still on his face. When Veronica heard him, she couldn’t help but be moved as she said gratefully.

"Thank you so much boss!! I will quickly relay your message along with the reward to all of your employees"

"Ok. You guys should enjoy yourselves" Hutton said as he did a light chuckle.

"We will!!" Veronica said excitedly before the call ended. After the call ended, Hutton unhurriedly put his phone back into his pocket.

"Are you done?" The young man who apparently is Fernando asked with a very cold look on his face. But Hutton responded back with a light smile on his face as he finally took a seat opposite Fernando.

"Of cause. Now then, why do you want to see me this early in the morning?"

"I am here to give you two simple choices. First is to cut all ties with Vivian in exchange of having 50% shares of your restaurant" Fernando said with an indifferent look on his face.

"And what is the second choice?" Hutton asked with an amused look on his face.

"The second choice?" Fernando said as if he didn’t notice the amused look on Hutton’s before he continued.

"Well the second choice is for you to die"

"So basically the two choices you have for me is either I cut my ties with a friend of mine while equally sharing my business shares with or I die?" Hutton said as his expression slowly yet steadily began to look indifferent as he stared right into the eyes of Fernando.

But Fernando didn’t seem to flinch as he answered indifferently.

"Yes"

Thump!!

As soon as Fernando answered, an overwhelming and aggressive aura rapidly spread out of Hutton’s body as he slowly stood up.

When the burly bodyguards that is now behind Fernando felt this aura, their expressions quickly grew solemn as they struggled to resist the aura. As for Fernando, his expression surprisenly still look indifferent as he stared at Hutton.

After standing up right with his aura fully out his body, Hutton eventually said coldly as he stared right into the eyes of Fernando.

"And what if I chose neither?"
