章 2: A NEW LIFE

"Timothy!!" a browned hair man hurriedly exclaimed as he rose up from the ground of a remote alley.

'Huh?' The brown haired man thought as he examined both himself and the surrounding with a confused expression on his face. Apparently, this brown haired man is none other than Taylor who supposedly should be dead after getting hit by various missiles on the battlefield field.

"Wait... Where am I and... who am i?"

Just after he thought he was successfully betrayed and killed by his most favored surbodinate. Hutton finds himself on the floor of a remote alley

"Don't tell me I got reincarnated?" Hutton muttered with a look of disbelief on his face. Currently, the body he is now in has brown hair with dark brown eyes, a well defined face and a height of 6 foot 5 inches which is covered by a brown colored simple made suit.

'i need to know which country am currently in to plan steps ahead' Taylor thought as he prepared to go out of the alley. But before he could do that, a flood of memories suddenly assaulted his mind.

"Argh!!" The result of this situation gave Taylor an excruciating pain that made to shout while holding his head tight. But not long after, it finally stopped after he fell on both legs and hands while being drenched in sweat.

'Is this the owner of this body's memories?' Taylor thought as he took in several deep breaths.

Apparently, the owner of the body's name is Hutton Maxwell and he is just 22 years of age. He was born in the US which is currently where he is now, he owns a 2star restaurant which was flourishing.

But after he provoked an influential family in the area his business is in, the said family quickly suppressed the business till it went out of business. Not only that, but they even sent a few assassin to eliminate him which they apparently had succeeded as Taylor finds himself on the floor of a remote alley.

'Although the original owner of this body is an orphan, it is fine by me. But the fact that not only did the various businessmen are now the overlords of the world, they even ended World War 3 is something. Looks like this era will stand for a long time' Hutton [1] thought as he dust himself while standing up.

"Now then, let's get to work" Hutton said with a light smirk on his face as he leaves the alley.

....

In a busy and a flourishing district, a large group of people could be seen in front of a two storey building that looks slightly outdated and rusty.

"It seems like the Green Clover restaurant now has a new owner"

"What about the old owner?"

"It seems like he sold off the restaurant"

"Well that's too bad. But although he is kinda smart for selling the restaurant now since it's glory days is almost over"

While the crowd in front of the restaurant were chatting amongst themselves, a chubby and tall middle aged men could be seen standing right in front of the restaurant's entrance. The chubby middle aged man has dark hair and a pair of dark eyes, a plum face and a height of 5 foot 8 inches.

As for the tall man, he also has dark hair, a pair of dark eyes, a cold and expressionless face and a height of 6 foot 6 inches.

"Felix, how much longer do we have to wait before they get the job done" The chubby whispered to the tall man in an annoyed tone. Right now, the chubby man is extremely flustered as he watches the large crowd staring at him.

But the tall man wasn't a slightest bit flustered as he replied calmly "Just wait a bit longer and you will get your answer Denise"

"Let them be quicker than me to wait longer! I just can't stand those stares" Denise said with an angry expression on his face. But before Felix could talk back, his phone rang.

"It has been done boss" Right after picking up the phone, Felix heard a cold voice from the phone before it became eerily quiet. But Felix wasn't fazed as he placed the phone back into his pocket while telling Denise..

"You can announce now, he is dead"

"Finally" Denise said as he silently sighed in relief, but he later calmed himself as he announced.

"I welcome you all to the grand opening of the Thomas Family's Green Clover restaurant"

But suddenly, right when the crowd is about to applause, a voice suddenly rang out from the distance.

"Since when is the Green Clover restaurant a property of Thomas family?"

"Who dares rebuke what I just said!?" Denise exclaimed as he stares at the direction the voice came out from with an angry expression.

'Why does that voice sound familiar?' Felix thought as he looked towards where the voice came out from with narrowed eyes.

But right when both Felix and Denise saw someone came out from the crowd, they immediately became dumbfounded. The 'someone' that just came out from crowd is none other Hutton.

"Isn't the previous owner of the restaurant?"

"Didn't he sell the restaurant to the Thomas family?"

"Looks like we are in for a good show"

While the crowd were having a heated discussion among themselves, Denise quickly came back to his senses as he shift his gaze to Felix in annoyance.

"I thought you told me the deed has been done?"

"Although those guys will get a thrashing when I get back, it doesn't change the fact that the restaurant is now in the family's custody" Felix said after coming back to his senses before he began to walk towards Hutton.

"Hey punk, the restaurant is already the Thomas family property so why don't you run along" Felix said after he approached Hutton with an indifferent look on his face.

"Can you show me a proof that the restaurant is now in your possession?" Hutton said in a calm tone.

"Proof?" Felix asked with a cold look now on his face.

"Yes, proof" although the aura Felix was protuding was chilling, Hutton wasn't even fazed as he confirmed what he asked.

"The very existence of me and Denise standing in front of the entrance of the restaurant is a proof" Felix answered with a deep voice.

"So as long as you guys aren't standing in front of the entrance, then you guys will no longer be the owners?" Hutton asked again with a light smirk now on his face.

'Why is he asking me this?' Felix thought as a bad feeling began to well up in him. But before he could answer, Denise suddenly spoke in an arrogant and confident tone.

"Right on point punk!"

But right after Denise answered, Hutton suddenly got closer to Felix in an instant as he brushed him of his feet with lightning speed.

'Huh!?' Felix thought in shock as he saw himself in the air. But in the next moment, he saw Hutton giving him a palm strike that was as slow as a turtle and look completely harmless.

But suddenly, as soon as this harmless palm strike landed on the chest of Felix, he felt his insides churn.

Bang!

Xiu!..

Boom!!

The impact of the palm strike made Felix to fly across a great distance before he crashed on the walls of the restaurant.

"Ahh!"

"What just happened!"

"Did he just made that person to fly and crash on the walls of the restaurant?"

"Since when the previous owner of the restaurant become so strong?"

While the crowd were both dumbfounded and shocked by the event that just unfold, Denise slowly looked towards where Felix crashed.

'How is this possible!?' Denise thought with a look of disbelief on his face. The person Hutton just striked is a seemingly famous mercenary in the underworld which the Thomas family hired to take care of Hutton.

Although this mercenary has a low rank in the organization he is in, but he has done several noteworthy feats across the country. But unfortunately, upon all the battle experience and combat standards he has, he still got KOed by a simple businessman in one strike.

But Denise doesn't know that the person that is now possessing Hutton's body is a veteran military combatant that has gone through various degrees of battle experience and has insane combat standard on him.

"You next" Hutton said as he turned his gaze to Denise as the later suddenly shuddered while being drenched in sweat
