Chapter 399
The other college students were also dumbfounded and wore an incredulous look. Even Coen's father
had to be respectful to Tom. How powerful was Tom's background? Could he really be a big shot?
Tom didn't respond to Maximilian's apology. Instead, he enjoyed eating and drinking, looking especially
mysterious and powerful.
Maximilian's forehead was sweating even more. He gave Coen a kick immediately and swore, "Coen!
You bastard. Apologize to Mr. Howard now!"
Even if Tom had lost ground now, he was not someone Maximilian could afford to provoke. Above all,
Tom had cultivated to an advanced level. If he was really annoyed, he could even hit them to death.
Therefore, Maximilian was truly afraid of Tom. He couldn't care less about his pride and apologized in a
hurry.
Coen was totally stunned. It was too embarrassing for him to apologize to Tom in front of so many
people. How could he continue staying in the circle in the future?
"Dad, are you too old to think straight? Why should I apologize to him? Doesn't my face count?" Coen
said defiantly and straightened himself up.
At this moment, Tom spoke. He gave a meaningful smile, looked up, and said to Maximilian, "I
appreciate your son's backbone."
Hearing that, Maximilian got more scared, especially when he saw that faint smile on Tom's face. He
only felt a bucket of ice water pouring down from over his head, making his hands and feet freezing
cold. He was terrified!
He was shivering.
Ignoring that, Maximilian slapped Coen on the back of his head with all his strength, making Coen
scream in pain. Then he gave Coen a kick on the shin, and Coen knelt down in front of Tom with a
thump. Maximilian shouted, "Kneel down and apologize to Mr. Howard!"
Now Coen realized that things were getting worse. He had never seen Maximilian so angry and scared,
so he made an apology to Tom at once.
Tom stared at Maximilian, who was covered in a cold sweat and decided not to make things difficult for
him. He just waved his hand and said, "Get away."
As if being granted a general amnesty, Maximilian beamed with joy and ran away with Coen.
After what had happened, many people did not dare to stay with Tom anymore and left one after
another.
Tom was happy that it became quiet again so that he could eat and drink as he pleased.
"Dad! What was that Tom's background? Why are you so afraid of him? At least our family is also a big
family in G State. You've disgraced the Sally Family by making me kneel down to him in front of so
many people!" When they got back, Coen said, unconvinced.
Maximilian slapped Coen on the head and swore, "You bastard, how can you say that? How dare you
offend Tom! Do you know who he is? He is the chairman of ZQ Media, TY Advertising, and Shield
Security Company! If I hadn't protected you just now, you would have died!"
Coen was still not convinced. "Even if he is the chairman of ZQ Media, you don't have to be so afraid of
him. Our family is powerful too! Dad, I think you are a real dotard."
Maximilian said, "What the hell do you know! Just use your shitty brain and think it over. Would I have
been so scared of him if he was simply rich? The scary part of him is that he is a superb master of
Innate Realm! Peter was killed by him some time ago!"
When Coen heard this, he widened his eyes with surprise. "No way. Isn't Peter Mr. Hall's father? He's
the vice president of the North Sky Association! Was he killed by Tom?"
Maximilian said pettishly, "That's why I'm so afraid of him. If he had begun the fight, you would have
been a corpse."
"I don't think he dares to do that in front of everyone, does he?" Coen's voice grew much lower. Finally,
he was a little scared now.
Maximilian sighed with sparkling eyes as he said, "There's something you don't know. Some time ago,
Peter's junior sister, May, took action personally and beat up Tom's mother's family violently. Then she
used her power and isolated Tom, threatening that she would beat Tom to death. Today is Wade's
birthday. Tom dared to attend the party because he wanted battle it out with May. In this case, do you
think he didn't dare to do that? It's easier for someone like Tom to kill you than to step on an ant!"
Coen gasped. It was until now that he realized how powerful Tom was. He had really gone to the gate
of hell by humiliating Tom just now.
Coen couldn't help but turn around to look at Tom, looking scared.
At the same time, Tom's identity was exposed too. Many people had recognized him, and it had caused Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
heated discussions. Everyone stayed away and kept a distance from Tom.
So such a scene was happening. There was no one at the table around Tom, and the seats were
empty. Only Tom was sitting there, and it looked particularly weird.
Tom gave a self-deprecating smile. It seemed that he had become the god of plague now. A week ago,
he had still been a big shot, and all the powerful people in the circle had wanted to curry favor with him.
But now, because of May, everyone began to alienate him and turn against him.
"What? Tom is here?"
Mr. Murphy was chatting with a few friends. When someone reported to him, he became astounded
suddenly. It was Wade's birthday today. How dared Tom come?
The next second, he figured out Tom's purpose. He was going to fight May to the death!
The others also realized this. While shocked, they were also excited and expectant.
Last time, Tom had beaten Peter to death in the hunting competition. Most people hadn't seen it. To
them, it was a huge pity.
But now, finally they wouldn't miss it!
It was said that May's cultivation was better than Peter's. The battle between Tom and her must be
extremely spectacular!
For a moment, anyone who learned the news began to come alive.
Mr. Murphy sighed and said, "Tom is really tough. Even at this time, he dared to take the initiative to
battle it out with May. It's rare to see someone with such courage! No wonder he can cultivate to such
an advanced level at such a young age."
His words were approved of by others. Although they had drawn a line with Tom, they still admired Tom
at heart.
"He sure has great courage, but it's more likely that he will be defeated by May this time."
"Yes, May is overwhelming. It is said that she is already in the upper realm of Innate Realm, while Tom
is in the middle realm at most. He is no match for May for sure."
"In any case, Tom is going to die this time. Fortunately, I don't have a friendship with him. Otherwise,
May will hate my guts and then I'll be doomed."
Almost everyone was pessimistic about Tom, thinking that Tom was courting death to have come here
this time.
Something popped into Mr. Murphy's mind instantly. He asked, "Where's Amelia? Where did she go?"
A cry came from the side. "No, Amelia went to Tom!"
"What?!"
Mr. Murphy was shocked. He looked in the direction of Tom at once and did see Amelia sitting next to
Tom.
