David was astounded at the number of black escort cars that pulled over to his side and the number of men on black suits that gathered around him after he contacted Hunter.

It was as if they have been waiting and hoping for him to make the call that they were all already prepared to meet him.

However, everyone around the restaurant were stunned at the extraordinary scene. "

What's happening there? " They murmured confusedly. The scene attracted a lot of people on the street included the people inside the Cafe restaurant.

When everyone thought David was in trouble, they were greatly astounded beyond their wits to see all men on black suit that gathered him bowed their head before David with respect as if he were a Prince.

" Young Master!! Young Master!!! " All the men hailed.

"Who is that handsome young man? " In wonder, a gorgeous lady on red dress inside the restaurant exclaimed. Everybody inside the restaurant could see what was happening as the walls of the restaurant were completely made of glass.

When he brought his head back up, he smiled warmly at David. " Thank you Prince Ace, for accepting to return home, your father and all members of the Ace family awaits your return to the castle! " Hunter said as he led David to have his first ride since the past 10 years, specially with him on the black bentley jeep.

David face lit gently as he look one more time at the restaurant.

Jason Peters who suddenly came out of Manager's office after hearing some disturbing noises outside, wanted to know what's happening.

His eyes struck an amazing view of the powerful convoys and escorts outside the restaurant, he and the manager who also came out of his office were very surprised, especially for the fact that there was no table reservation opted at this time from anywhere.

But however, they believed someone very important has just arrived at the restaurant and they were eager to know who it was so as to welcome he or she.

But surprisingly, the individual seems to be returning to a jeep instead of coming to the restaurant.

" Is he leaving? " They looked surprised.

After searching thoroughly, Jason was about to glimpse at the face of the respected person that is being heavily escorted when someone suddenly jerked his arms by mistake.

" Sorry Mr. Jason. " The young lady apologized to him, but by the time he turned to look at the black jeep, the person has already returned to the car.

Jason furrowed angrily at the lady that bumped on him.

" Who is that great man? " The Manager asked with surprise. He did not have the opportunity to see the person's face but he was able to have a glimpse of a male figure.

"I thought he was coming here? Hey Nosa, come here!

Who owns those powerful escort outside my restaurant? " Anxiously, the Manager asked one of his waiters.

The Waiter had this unbelievably and shocking expression on his face, "Mr. Brentford I think it's David Brighton. " He said.

Jason laughed ridiculously, " Who's this fool, David what! Ask a reasonable person Mr. Brentford, this idiot's certainly not alright. "

" I can see that. " The Manager agreed with Jason as he curled his brow at the waiter before walking away.

"Moron! " Jason also snorted at the innocent waiter, " If you keep talking nonsense, you'll be fired for sure. " He said.

The waiter had to gulp his saliva, but he was sure of whom he saw.

Shockingly, the guards at the entrance of the restaurant gave the same response as the waiter, leaving both Jason and the Manager very confused.

Even at that Jason refused to believe; "Nah, it can never be David, the David I know is a nobody. " He said with hatred.

David grins as he laid his head back on his seat as the driver rides.

" Soon, we'll reach the airport, your private jet is currently waiting for us. " Hunter said to David.

David could not resist a happy smile from his face.

...
