Chapter 9: THE MAYOR'S DAUGHTER
The supposedly daughter of the Mayor who is currently approaching Hutton's area has a silky and glittery long black hair which was packed with a hairband to form a rather long ponytail, a seductive but cold looking dark eyes which complimented her smooth, fair but cold looking face and a sexy looking body that was covered with a blue tracksuit which revealed her curves.
Overall, this lady has a dignified and aloof aura around her which made her to be unapproachable and a height of exactly 6 foot.
"Is this running mill taken?" The lady asked in an indifferent tone. When Hutton heard this question, he answered back indifferently and in a straightforward manner.
"No"
Although Hutton was a bit surprised for encountering the daughter of the Mayor, he only stayed surprised for just a moment before bringing back his indifferent expression on his face.
When the lady heard Hutton's reply, she was silently surprised but she later came back to normal as she said.
"That's good then"
While saying that, she unhurriedly took off her tracksuit. When the others in the gym saw this, they quickly began to have sparkling eyes. As for Hutton, his mind momentarily went blank.
'Why are you taking your time in removing your tracksuit?'
Although what was underneat the tracksuit was a body hogging exercise wear that was on curvaceous body that was out of this world, Hutton wasn't even moved by the discovery. But unfortunately, some people couldn't remain calm like Hutton after seeing this destructive body.
"Hey punk! I will be using the running mill so get out of their this instant!" a man with an intense body yelled as he walked towards where Hutton exercising. When the other people saw this man, they began to whisper amongst themselves.
"Looks like Iron steel is going to make his move on the Mayor's daughter"
"Well that is expected, Iron steel just can't sit still right after seeing a great beauty walked past him"
"But this is the Mayor's daughter we are talking about here, I don't think Iron steel will make any move to her"
"Are you new in this gym?"
"Then you don't know why he is named Iron steel"
"Then can you tell me?"
"Of cause, why he is named Iron steel is because he had the courage to court the president of the country last daughter when he was in the capital"
"What?"
While the gymnist were whispering among themselves, the man named Iron steel finally arrived at the running mill Hutton is currently using.
"Didn't you hear me punk!?" Iron steel exclaimed with a look of arrogance on his face. Although Hutton wanted to ignore Iron steel like he doesn't even exist, but when he felt Iron steel's saliva touching his face, a vein suddenly popped on his forehead.
"I will give you just a second to get lost" Hutton said in an incomparable deep voice.
"Huh?" Iron steel said with a confused expression on his face. But before he could even react to what Hutton has said, the simple looking businessman suddenly sent out a punch.
Unlike the other punches he has given so far, this punch seem to be make the air it passed through to make a booming sound. Not only that, but the wind that was trailing along the punch was so fierce that it even made the Mayor's daughter to almost loose her footing on the running mill
Boom!!!!
As soon as this punch landed on Iron steel's face, it sounded like a bomb exploding in the gym as iron steel who was a staggering 7 foot tall to fly across the room and heavily crashed on the gym wall which made that side of the wall to crumble on him.
Silence.....
Other than Iron steel who has clearly gone unconscious, the rest of the people in the gym currently looked at Hutton with a dazed expression on their faces.
'How is he so strong!?' the lady thought with a shocked expression on his face. As for Hutton, after sending Iron steel flying across the gym, he immediately stopped his running mill and began to walk out the gym with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Please wait!" But before he could walk out of the gym, the lady hurriedly called out as she also stopped her running mill
"Am sorry for causing you trouble in the gym, my name is Vivian and you can ask me anything and I promise to fulfill it as an act of apology to you" The lady said with a apologetic expression after she approached Hutton.
But unfortunately for her, Hutton didn't seem to relax from that as he blandly said while resuming his walk out of the gym.
"There's no need"
When the remaining people in the gym who have come back to their senses heard what Hutton said, they immediately gasped.
"Who is he? I can't believe an ordinary person has the mind to reject the Mayor's daughter goodwill"
"I think I have seen him before, he seems to be an owner of a relatively famous restaurant in the area"
"Pfft, just because he is an owner of a mere restaurant, he thinks he is on top of the world"
While the people in the gym were whispering in the gym and criticizing Hutton, Vivian had a creased brows on her face as she thought.
'He actually rejected my goodwill'
But she didn't dwell on it for long as she went back to resume her running exercise. As for Hutton, after walking out of the gym, he quickly took a cab that drove him to his apartment.
'Looks like Veronica has gone back to her house' Hutton thought as he noticed the locked door.
'But I still haven't asked her how she got the key to my apartment' Hutton with a confused expression on his face. With the memories he acquired from the previous Hutton, he couldn't remember when he gave her a key to his apartment.
"Ah well, I will sooner or later" Hutton muttered to himself as he got into his house. And so, after taking his bath and putting on a black tracksuit, he quickly left his home to go get a cab.
'Oh I almost forgot haven't eaten, I can't perform in that childish competition on an empty stomach' Hutton suddenly thought as he was waiting for a cab.
Currently, Hutton can be categorized as a 'Pauper' due to having not a single penny on him. Because of that, he had to run back to home and get something to eat from the reserves he has.
After putting something into his stomach, he came back to get a cab and not long after, he saw a cab that drove him to the Mayor's office.
"Vivian, how many times do I have to tell you that you can't just wander off on your own in this city without a bodyguard by your side?"
In the Mayor's office, Vivian could be seen sitting right in front of a man that seems to be in his early 80s as he has a mixture of black and white hair, a completely white beard that surrounded his mouth, a rather solemn dark eyes and a body height of 6 foot 3 inches.
Although he looks like an old man, his body was showing the opposite as his body was brimming of life while he was on a simple tuxedo.
"Dad you don't have to tell me this every single time I want to just take a stroll alone. Can't you see I always come back safe and sound" Vivian said as she secretly rolled her eyes.
"That doesn't mean you won't ever be in danger every time you go out alone. Remember that there is always someone planning against you in the dark" Vivian's dad said with a exasperated expression on his face. But Vivian didn't budge as she said back.
"That's why am learning martial arts for self defense"
"That isn't enough for you to go out alone, what if the one planning against you is a veteran combatant that has ample battle experience" Vivian's dad said back as he didn't budge either. Right before Vivian could talk back, she suddenly remembered Hutton back in the gym and his explosive strength.
After remembering him, a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on her face as she said..
"Then I will just hire someone that is way stronger than those weak bodyguards"

Chapter 10: CROUCHING TIGERS AND HIDDEN DRAGONS
'Looks like this is where the tournament will be held' Hutton thought as he stared at an open roofed building in front of him right after coming out the taxi
Currently, this building is being crowded by people as they walked into this building. Not only that, cars could be seen lined up in the parking lot at the right side of this building.
While at the left side of this building is the magnificent Mayor's office that is actually a three storey building.
'Now that am here, how I can register for this competition?' Hutton thought with a bitter smile on his face. But then, he heard a familiar voice call out to him from behind.
"Mr. Hutton!"
When Hutton turned to see who called him, he silently sighed in relief as he thought..
'Thank the heavens I saw Kenneth now, if not I really won't know what to do next'
Due to being betrayed at his previous life, Hutton is finding it extremely hard to even interact with someone unnecessarily not to even become acquaintances with someone new.
But due to Kenneth needing his help to make him a Grandmaster and also the one that invited him to the competition in the first place, Hutton could trust him for the time being.
"Am so sorry for making you wait at the building's entrance Mr. Hutton. I should have come sooner if not for traffic" Kenneth hurriedly said in an apologetic tone as he approached Hutton.
"It's fine, you just have to show me where I can register for the competition in the building" Hutton said in a emotionless tone. When passersby saw how Kenneth treated Hutton, they quickly had dumbfounded expressions.
"Isn't that the boxing master of the Thomas family!?"
"That's right! But who is that simple looking man Kenneth is interacting with?"
"Although I don't know who he is, but I think he is someone of an extremely high status for Kenneth to interact with him in a respectful manner"
"That won't be a problem. Besides, I came alongside someone that also wants to sign up for the competition" Kenneth said as he silently nod his head.
"And who might that be?" Hutton asked as he secretly glanced at the two burly bodyguards behind Kenneth. Based on what he has experienced in the Thomas family's residence, he thought that the guy named Draconic fists is the strongest person in the family.
But since he couldn't see that guy anywhere, he then assumed there might be a hidden expert in the family.
"That would be me" a deep a solemn voice suddenly rang out from behind the two guards as someone came into Hutton's line of sight.
This person was rather thin but has a deep and ominous aura around him. Not only that, but his dark eyes that has a piercing gaze and his well outlined face coupled with his dark hair made him to look like a masochist.
'Looks like my assumption was correct' Hutton thought while staring at the individual in front of him as he felt an ominous aura from him.
"Mr. Hutton, I would like you to meet the 1st son of the Thomas family head named George" Kenneth said as he glanced at the youth that has just appeared.
'He's actually the 1st son to the bastard!' Hutton thought surprisenly but it didn't show in his face as he said in a bland tone.
"Nice to meet you. Mr. Kenneth, we are wasting our time chatting here unnecessarily"
"Oh! Am so sorry Mr. Hutton, please let's proceed into the building" Kenneth said as he began to walk into the building along with Hutton, George and the two burly bodyguards.
'Is this the person dad talked about' George thought as he observed Hutton while they walked into the building.
When they got in, they could see a large crowd being seated at the edge of the building while the platforms could be seen at the middle.
Right after seeing this scene, Kenneth directed Hutton and the others to a hall that was located underneath the audience section. When they got into this hall, they a counter with a relatively short line of people.
But Kenneth didn't seem to even see this line as he went straight to the counter with Hutton and the others.
"Hey no cutting of the line!"
"Seriously!? Can't everyone just obediently follow the rules?"
"Don't worry, the lady at the counter with harshly send them to the back of the line"
While the people in the line began to observe how the lady in the counter will hurriedly send them to the back of the line, Kenneth approached this lady and said...
"Hello, my name is Kenneth and am the boxing master of the Thomas family. I am here to get two people registered"
"Oh if it isn't the renowned boxing master of the Thomas family! Please can you show the two people that want to get registered?" the lady at the counter said with a respectful expression on her face.
"Here I am!" George said as he came into the lady's line of sight while Hutton just quietly stood alongside Kenneth.
'Does he really want to participate in this competition?' the lady thought in doubt as she observed Hutton, but she didn't dwell on it as she began to get them registered.
While the lady is getting Hutton and George registered, the people in the line had dumbfounded expressions on there faces.
"I can't believe the lady is actually getting them registered"
"Who are they for them to have this kind of privilege?"
"Who do expect to answer that?"
The people in the line didn't seem to know Kenneth at all if not they wouldn't have uttered a word from when he arrived till when he leaves.
"Ok,Master Kenneth, I have registered them for the competition. They just have to wait at the room at my left till when the competition starts" The lady said with a sweet smile on her face.
"Ok, Thanks for the help" Kenneth said as he began to walk out of the hall along with the two bodyguards. As for Hutton and George, they unhurriedly went into the room at their right.
But as soon as they got into the room, an oppressive and violent aura washed over them. Although, Hutton wasn't fazed by the aura, George was the exact opposite as he began to have cold sweat.
When they looked, they could see that there are a group of people already seated in the room. Everyone in this group surprisenly has a thin build while wearing different color of tracksuit.
'Looks like there really are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the city' Hutton thought as he observed a few people that were seated at a remote corner of the room.
These few people didn't have a single aura leaking out of them as they seem to be sleeping. But due to Hutton keen observation, he knew that if these few people faced the group that have a violent aura leaking out of them alone, they will literally wiped the floor with them.
"Brother, it seems like some people has finally joined us in this room" A blonde haired youth said to someone that looks exactly like him.
"Should we test them?" the other person that seems to be the blonde haired youth twin asked with a playful smile on his face. But before he could get an answer, an unprecedented force suddenly landed on his forehead.
Bang!!
Although the impact didn't make him to lose consciousness, he still instantly fell dizzy.
"Looks like I was right, the people here are just so-so" Hutton suddenly said with a disappointed expression on his face. As for George, he was both dumbfounded and shocked as he looked at Hutton.
'When did he....'
"How dare you attack my brother without reason!?" the blonde haired youth exclaimed with a furious expression on his face as he plans to face Hutton.
But before he could even get up, his twin brother suddenly stop him.
"Brother..." The blonde youth said with a confused expression on his face as to why his brother stopped him. But the brother didn't seem to explain himself as he solemnly looked at Hutton before asking.
"Who are you?"
Back when Hutton and George got into the room, his instincts were screaming to him to flee from that area. Although he didn't want to dwell on his instincts for now, but after he saw himself being attacked by someone he couldn't perceive a single trace of aura coming out of him, he suddenly knew that something wasn't right.
"You are not qualified to know" Hutton said with a provocative smile on his face.
After taking a deep breath, the youth suddenly replied in a deep tone...
"Good, I will remember you for what you did to me"
