Chapter 318
Myles's enthusiasm made Tom feel awkward and uneasy. It was his first time to come to the Paynes. It
was strange that Myles and others were so hospitable to him. They were not pretending but were
genuinely passionate about him.
Tom had been used to being ridiculed all these years. It was the first time he had been warmly treated.
He was not used to it.
After they entered the room, they finally restrained themselves.
"Tom, sit here for a while. I'll call my father over." Myles greeted with a smile.
Tom nodded and agreed.
Caroline and the Paynes left for a moment and promised to come back soon.
After finding a chance to speak, Tom asked Master Chou in a low voice, "Chou, didn't you say that
Hawthorne wanted to see me and be a peacemaker? It doesn't seem so. What's going on?"
Master Chou rolled his eyes and said, "You must have misunderstood. I didn't say that Hawthorne
asked you to dinner as a peacemaker."
Tom paused and recalled that Chou had never said that before. It was just that people would think that
way. After all, he had a grudge against the North Sky Association. It was natural that Hawthorne made
an appointment to meet him to be a peacemaker.
Now Tom immediately realized that Chou had set him up again! Hawthorne made an appointment with
him for another purpose.
Master Chou deliberately didn't look him in the eye. It was obviously a sign of guilt, but Tom was so
angry that he gnashed his teeth.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the stairs. Tom looked up and saw three
people coming down the stairs. They were all young people in their twenties and thirties.
They also saw Tom sitting in the living room and frowned slightly.
"Who are these two country bumpkins? Why did they come to our house?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen them before. Maybe they're here to fix something."
"Really? How dare those repairmen to come into our house and make the floor dirty."
"That's my regular seat! How shall I sit down in the future? No! I have to kick these two country
bumpkins out." One of the young men, who was fair and clean, said angrily and walked over quickly.
Tom had heard their conversation long ago and frowned. Those three young people were unruly, lazy,
and rebellious rich second generation. They relied on their good family background and developed a
very undesirable character since they were young. They were self-centered. When they saw anything
unpleasant, they would go out of control. They had no upbringing and never cared about other people's
feelings.
Tom hated dealing with such people. He thought that since Myles and the others were so enthusiastic,
he wouldn't encounter such annoying people. However, he did.
However, he was used to that.
"Hey, you two country bumpkins. Who let you in? Get out of here!" The young man came over and
scolded rudely. His attitude was terrible.
Tom was at least a man with a good reputation. He was furious after being scolded like that. His face
immediately darkened. "First of all, we're not country bumpkins. Hawthorne invited us here. Second,
you'd better show me some respect when you speak."
The young man immediately sneered with disdain and said, "Why did my grandfather invite you here?
Are you kidding me? Do you know who my grandfather is? How dare you mention my grandfather? I'm
too lazy to talk to you. Get out of my house, or I won't be polite to you!"
As he spoke, the young man rolled up his sleeves and glared at Tom, showing signs of beating Tom.
Tom was rather angry. If it wasn't for Hawthorne's sake, he wouldn't have bothered to come over. At
least, he was a man of prestige. Being scolded by a rich playboy was not something he could bear.
Now that he couldn't figure out what the Paynes's intention was. He was invited here through Chou.
Just now, Myles and his wife were so enthusiastic about him. However, in the blink of an eye, the three
playboys came out and spoke rudely to him. Were they trying to intimidate him? Was it some sort kind
of test?
No matter what, with Tom's current status, being scolded by a junior like this was already offensive. The
Paynes must give him an explanation and make an apology.
Tom stared at him and said coldly, "For the sake of your grandfather Hawthorne, I'll give you a chance
to apologize to me. I'll forgive you if you change your attitude."
The playboy seemed to have heard a very funny joke and burst out laughing. The other two also
laughed. They looked at Tom the way they looked at a retarded person.
Tom's eyes grew colder.
"Hahaha, that's so funny. How dare such a lowly person ask me to apologize? Are you daydreaming?
Well, I don't want to talk to you. I'll count to three. If you don't get lost, don't blame me for being rude to
you." Bruno said with a grim smile. He had recently learned karate and his strength had increased
greatly. Even a few strong men combined could not match him. He had absolute confidence in himself.
It was so easy for him to teach this bumpkin a lesson.
He especially liked the feeling of beating people up. When he punched someone else, it was super
cool!
By the time he counted to three, Tom was still indifferent and ignored him. He was angry and cursed at
Tom for seeking death. Then he began to attack Tom and was about to slash down Tom's neck with all
his strength. At the same time, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Once hit, the target
would definitely fall down.
Even if Tom could react, he was not afraid to fight Tom with his arm. His arm was very hard, which was
enough to make this country bumpkin painful.
But was that really the case?
Tom also sneered. He did not resist at all and let Bruno attack his neck. Suddenly, a shrill scream came
out.
Of course, it couldn't have been from Tom. With his strength of Innate Realm, his body was extremely
strong. Even if Bruno really took a knife to cut him, he couldn't really cut it in. Tom could use all his
strength in an instant and concentrate in one place, as hard as iron.
Tom didn't dodge just now, but he used all his strength to harden the muscles around his neck, and the
density of the muscles reached its maximum in an instant. Bruno's hand blade cut off as if it were cut
on an iron plate. His tears flow out from the pain.
The other two playboys were stunned. What was going on? It was obvious that Bruno's hand was cut
on Tom's neck. Why was it Bruno who screamed out?
Tom didn't fight. After all, he was still in Hawthorne's house. It was enough to punish Bruno. Otherwise,
once he attacked the playboys from the Paynes, he would turn into a fighter instead of a guest.
"Ouch, it hurts so much... What are you doing here? Go fight him!" Bruno looked miserable. He held his NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
right hand, trembling with pain. At that time, he did not realize how much trouble he had caused.
The other two playboys also began to take action and attack Tom. One guy ran to the kitchen and took
a kitchen knife out. It had to be said that they were really lawless enough to do so. They were not afraid
of killing people!
Just then, a loud voice came from upstairs, "Hey, what are you doing? Stop!"
It was Myles, who was now following an old man. He pointed angrily at the three and scolded them.
Tom looked up and saw the old man. It was Hawthorne, the head of the Paynes and the chairman of
Shenyang Group, a legend of G State.
