In the family hall of the Ling family residence, three people could be seen being seated in it. These three people are actually Hutton, Ling Fei and the head of the Ling family Ling Xiao.
"Ok so right now you want me to use my network get the whereabouts of your personal manager who is named Veronica Franklin. Is that right?" Ling Xiao asked with a straight look on his face.
"Yes father. She is the one who takes care of his businesses back in the US, so if she is not there, then his business will be in a crisis which will drive him to go back to his country" Ling Fei explained with a worried look on her face.
"Hmm... How important is this business to you Mr. Hutton?" After staying silent for a while, Ling Xiao suddenly asked Hutton this question with a calm look on his face.
When Ling Fei heard him, her expression quickly changed to disbelief as she just stared at Ling Xiao blankly. But Hutton was surprisenly calm when he heard Ling Xiao’s question as he gave an answer.
"With all due respect Mr. Ling, but there is literally nothing in this country that can keep me from going to take care of my business"
"Even if you have to face the clash of dojos law enforcement once you leave this country?" Ling Xiao quickly asked with a surprised look on his face. But Hutton expression was still calm as he replied in a calm tone
"Yes Mr. Ling"
One of the things he resolved himself on doing when he got reincarnated into this era is to fulfill the dream of the previous Hutton which was to be the greatest businessman in the world. And the current Hutton can’t do that without the restaurant which the previous Hutton have used 90% of his life to establish.
So right now, Hutton is willing to do anything in his power to stop the restaurant from running out of business since it is the previous Hutton life’s work.
When Ling Xiao heard him, he immediately fell silent for a considerable period of time. But eventually, he spoke up in a determined tone.
"Ok Mr. Hutton, since you put it this way, then I have no choice but to help you"
"Thank you for help Mr. Ling. I will send my personal manager’s profile to you right now" Hutton said as he quickly brought out his phone. But before he could do anything with it, Ling Xiao suddenly spoke up.
"Oh you don’t have to Mr. Hutton. Just the name of the person which you have already given me is enough for us to find her"
"Oh. Then I will have to thank you Mr. Ling" Hutton said as he put his phone back into his pocket.
"You don’t have to mention Mr. Hutton, you are our guest after all so I should help you when you are in need" Ling Xiao said with a light smile on his face.
"Ok Mr. Ling, I will take my leave now" Hutton said as he stood up from his seat with a calm look on his face.
"Ok Mr. Hutton, Ling Fei excort" Ling Xiao said with a light smile on his face.
"Yes father" Ling Fei answered in a respectful tone as she also stood up and followed Hutton out of the Ling family hall.
As soon as Hutton and Ling Fei left the family hall, a silhouette suddenly appeared right behind Ling Xiao as it spoke.
"Should I begin the operation family head?"
"No, check first if his personal manager’s disappearance is related to the Feng family. If it is, then just consider I never had this conversation with Hutton. But if it isn’t, then you can begin the operation" Ling Xiao said with a calm look on his face.
"Ok family head" The silhouette said before it suddenly vanished out of that area. While the silhouette disappeared, Ling Xiao suddenly thought with a determined look now on his face.
As for Hutton and Ling Fei, right after they left the family hall, Ling Fei suddenly spoke up in a cheerful tone.
"Now that my dad will take care of finding your personal’s manager, what are you planning on doing now?"
"Do you guys have a training grounds I can use?" Hutton immediately asked right after she asked that question with a straight look on his face.
"Oh yeah, we do have a public training ground you can use at the centre of the compound" Ling Fei answered with a curious look on her face.
"Good, take me there. I feel like stretching my muscles a little" Hutton said with a calm look on his face.
"Ok follow me then" Ling Fei said before she began to walk out of the family hall area along with Hutton.
And so, Hutton and Ling Fei began to walk past various buildings and open spaces for a few minutes before they arrived at an open field that has one large platform at the middle of the field.
"Huh? What is going on there?" Ling Fei suddenly said with a curious look on her face as she saw a large group of people gathering around the platform at the middle of the open field.
’Isn’t that Ling Fei’s brother?’ Hutton thought when he saw a relatively familiar face standing alone on top of the platform.
At this time, Hutton and Ling Fei have already approached the group around the platform as Ling Fei suddenly asked one of the people standing there.
"Can you tell me what is going on here?"
"Don’t disturb me! Can’t you see am trying to watch–" The person replied in a harsh tone before he placed his eyes on Ling Fei.
And once this person placed his eyes on Ling Fei, his voice immediately seized as he widened his eyes. But before he could come back to normal, Ling Fei has already spoken up In a cold tone.
"It seems like you have begun to grow wings ever since your dad was selected to being an elder in the family. Looks like I will need to tell my father about this"
"Please forgive me Young Mistress. I never knew it was you!!" The person hurriedly said with a panicked look on his face. But Ling Fei completely ignored him at this time as she went to another person to ask the same question she asked the first person she met.
’Damn, she didn’t even give him a chance’ Hutton thought with a speechless look on his face. But he didn’t stand there as he followed Ling Fei as she met the other person.
"Well the third young master is giving out an open challenge to any one around the area. He said if anyone can take three of his attacks with falling, he will owe the person a favor" The person explained with an excited look on his face.
When Ling Fei heard him, an idea suddenly popped into her mind which made a light smile to appear in her face.
"So have anyone beaten the challenge ever since my brother created it?" Ling suddenly asked with a calm smile on his face. But Hutton suddenly didn’t feel comfortable after hearing Ling Fei’s question.
’What is she up to?’ Hutton thought as he looked at Ling Fei with a deep look on his face. But Ling Fei didn’t notice this as her attention were fixed on the person right in front of her.
"Well only a few people have gone up to accept thhe challenge and they failed in the first attack the third young master gave them" the person answered with a wry smile on his face.
But when Ling Fei heard what the person said, her smile immediately widened as she replied in a delightful tone.
"That’s great"
’What is great in that?’ Hutton thought with a confused look on his face. But he didn’t have enough time to figure this out as he suddenly saw Ling Fei walking forward.
’What does she plan on doing?’ Hutton thought as he became more confused while he tried to catch up to her. But before he could, Ling Fei suddenly stopped not to close from the platform as she yelled out loud.
"Hey brother Jun! Look who is here to see you!!"
’I knew it!!’ Hutton thought with a wry look on his face as he immediately paused. But it was too late as everyone on the open field have already looked towards his direction along with the person on the platform who apparently is Ling Jun.
"Huh? Isn’t that the foreigner who will be representing us at the provincial level of the clash of dojos event?"
"That is him!! But what is he doing here and more surprisenly with the second young mistress?"
"Don’t tell me he is here to take up the third young master’s challenge?"
"Damn!! We are in for a good show"
While the onlookers on the open field were having a discussion amongst themselves, Ling Jun who is on the platform suddenly spoke up with a delighted look on his face.
"Oh, Mr. Hutton, what are you doing here? Don’t tell me you want to take up my open challenge?"
’Although I can reject what he said. But I just can’t because of the onlookers and my reputation here’ Hutton thought with a helpless look on his face before it quickly changed into a calm look as he answered.
"Well I have nothing to do so why not?"
’Yes! He took the bait!’ Ling Fei thought with a satisfied look on her face
