VERONICA

"You're next" Hutton said and he shift his gaze towards Denise who was currently drenched in sweat. But when the later saw the former coming closer to him, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't think you have win Hutton, my family will come back in double fold!!"

After saying that, he quickly abandoned the unconscious Felix and ran out of the crowd.

"Looks like the owner has truly enraged the Thomas family now"

"What's the point of offending such an influential family? Can't he see he will be doomed if he does?"

"Well all we have to know is that this restaurant will either change owners or get demolished very soon"

While the crowd were gazing at Hutton with pitiful looks while chatting amongst themselves as they began to leave the area, the simple businessman wasn't even fazed as he walks into the restaurant.

Although the exterior design of the restaurant looks outdated and rusty, the interior design still looks neat and tidy as it gave off a serene and peaceful vibe.

'That's odd, the last state I can remember of this place, it was messy' Hutton thought with a confused expression on his face.

The last this he got of this place from the memory of the last owner of the body is when a fight started in the restaurant when needed his attention not knowing it was a trap.

But Hutton didn't dwell long on it as he went to his office at the top. Unlike the other rooms, his office was well kept like how he remembered it.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, right when we he entered the office, he heard a shout behind the door along with a lady with her eyes closed who was about to hit him with a steel rod.

But right when the steel rod is about to land on him, Hutton quickly did a side step which made the steel rod to miss it's target. But the result of that made the lady to lose balance as she was about to land on Hutton.

Unfortunately, Hutton didn't relent as he did another side step which made the lady to land fully on the floor.

Huff...

"What kind of a monster are you to let a lady fall like that!!" The lady exclaimed in an angry tone as she turned to look at Hutton's backside. But as soon as she did, an overwhelming killing intent wash over her to the extent that she couldn't even have the courage to stand up.

While on the floor, this lady has dark purple hair with purple eyes, a light pick lipstick on her lips and a pink dress which almost covered her height of 5 foot 9 inches. Overall she gave off a peaceful and comfortable vibe.

"Who sent you?" Hutton said in much deeper voice than his regular voice. When the lady heard this voice, she began to have cold sweat as she answered timidly..

"No... No one"

"Looks like I don't have a choice huh?" Hutton said as he slowly turned around and faced the lady. But as soon as he did, his expression quickly changed.

"Veronica, what are you doing here?" Hutton said with a bitter smile on his face. The lady that is currently on the floor is actually the manager of the restaurant and supposedly Hutton's employee.

When Veronica heard Hutton's voice along with a question, she quickly opened her eyes which she shut earlier to confirm if her ear isn't playing a trick on her.

But when she saw it was really Hutton her employer, she immediately stand up as she exclaimed in a surprised tone.

"Boss! What are you doing here?"

"Can't I be here?" Hutton asked back in a confused tone. But Veronica wasn't fazed as she asked again.

"What about the two guys outside?"

"You haven't answered my question"

"Well I just couldn't sit still while those dogs take over your restaurant" Veronica said in a nonchalant tone.

'Oh this girl' Hutton thought with a wry smile on his face. But Veronica didn't notice it as she said.

"Now answer my own question"

"I took care of them" Hutton said as he walked towards the office main chair and took a seat.

"What?" After hearing his answer, Veronica quickly became confused and bewildered. But Hutton didn't seem to care as he said.

"Are there any notable things I need to do today?"

Although he has successfully driven away the members of the Thomas family, he wouldn't be at peace since they are determined to come back for revenge.

So what he plans on doing after completing anything that seems important for the day, he will personally pay the Thomas family a visit to end it all.

"Well apart from the reunion party your former classmates formed which you have to attend, nothing else is important" Veronica said after coming out from her daze.

'A reunion party' Hutton thought as he quickly remembered something. Before the first Hutton got called to the restaurant to settle a planned fight, he was at home planning his dress for the reunion party.

"When does this reunion party start?" Hutton quickly asked as he got of his chair and began to walk out of the office.

"Well the party should start in about 30 minutes time" Veronica said after giving it some thought.

"Ok then. As for you, close the restaurant and go home. We aren't opening today"

"Ok boss" Veronica said as she began to arrange the office. As for Hutton, after coming out of his restaurant, he quickly took a cab which drove him to where he lives.

"Well, I just have to live with this for now" Hutton said as he got into where he lives. Where he lives is a simple one bedroom apartment that is amongst various apartments in the five storey building.

"Now then, let's get dressed for the party" Hutton said with a smirk while he got into his room.

....

In the area where a 4-star event centre is located, various luxurious cars could be seen being parked.

"Stallion! Long time no see, it seems you have been living well all these years"

"Well life is short, so I gotta live it to the fullest. But let's not talk about me now. Look at you! You look even more well off than me"

"Oh don't flatter me, I just got lucky"

While some group of people could be seen walking into the event centre after coming out of their cars. An entourage suddenly showed up and parked right in front of the event centre's entrance.

"What a grand entrance! I wonder who is that"

"Look at the logo that is embedded on the car in the middle. It looks like the logo of the Thomas family"

"The Thomas family!?, Then those people must be Craig and Gwen!"

"Quick move! I need to greet them"

As some people were chatting amongst themselves while a few were coming towards the entourage to lick boots. The door to the car at the middle suddenly opened.

And what came out is a young man and a woman. The young man has blonde hair and dark eyes, a well structured face and a height of 6 foot 1 inch. This young man wore an exquisite Spanish black suit.

While the woman has silky dark hair and dark eyes, a rosy red lipstick and a seemingly custom made dress which perfectly matches her shape.

These two people are the children of the Thomas family's family head and there names are Craig and Gwen.

"Good day Craig and Gwen. How are things going on with you guys?"

"I will like to be your guide in the party if you don't mind"

While the few people that came towards Craig and Gwen began to praise and offer themselves as guides, the both of them simply ignored them as they began to walk towards the event centre.

"Why am I not seeing that punk Hutton?" Gwen asked Craig in a hushed tone.

"it seems he hasn't arrived yet" Craig said after glancing around secretly.

"Why?" Gwen said as she began to panic.

"Don't be impatient Gwen. Although he hasn't come yet, he will definitely come considering his character so relax" Craig said with a light chuckle.

"Well that's true" Gwen said as she calmed down. But right when they entered the event centre, a taxi quietly stopped close to the event centre.

"Looks like am not late" Hutton said as he got out of the taxi while staring at a few people that is around the event centre.
