"Father! Did you hear that Tom won? He won!"
At the family banquet of the Paynes, hundreds of people from the Paynes gathered together to eat.
Suddenly, Myles pushed the door open and strode in, shouting loudly and excitedly.
His appearance startled everyone in the Paynes. In their minds, Myles had always been very calm and
reserved. No matter how big a thing he encountered, he was very calm. How came he lose his
composure like now?
However, when Hawthorne, who was eating, heard this, his reaction was also very strong. He stood up
immediately, "What?! Tom actually won? Really? Tell me what happened!"
Myles had already walked in, and he was so excited that his face turned red. "It's true. I've confirmed
from many people that Tom has really defeated Peter without getting injured! And he has also won the
head of this hunting competition. His future is so promising! Dad, we haven't invested in the wrong
person this time!"
"Hahaha..." After hearing that, Myles burst into laughter. His face was red with excitement. "I really
didn't see the wrong person. He's trustworthy! This Tom is amazing!"
Many people in the Paynes were stunned. They had never heard of the name Tom. They couldn't figure
out why Hawthorne respected a person so much.
At the other table, Isabella was eating there. When she heard this conversation, she was stunned on
the spot. Then, Tom appeared in her mind. Combining Hawthorne and Myles's words, her mood
changed subtly. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
At the same time, many people also learned the news one after another, including Elliot and Malcolm.
They were going to run away, but now they were extremely excited as they would all have a bright
future.
...
Tom came out of the airport on his own with a schoolbag on his back. He looked like an ordinary
working class. No one would have thought that he was a supreme master of the Innate Realm and a
pioneer of the new future human race.
When he returned to H City, he relaxed a lot. He was going to see Phoebe soon. He was very happy to
think about it.
When he came out of the airport, he was just about to call Phoebe and tell Phoebe that he was back.
Suddenly, a tentative voice sounded from behind him. "Chairman, is that you?"
It was a woman's voice, and it sounded a little familiar...
Tom looked back and saw a woman wrapped tightly in sunglasses and a mask. She greeted him and
walked quickly towards him when she saw him.
"Chairman, it's really you!"
The woman walked up to Tom and said with surprise.
Beside her, there were a few people following her.
Tom was confused. He searched his mind but could not figure out who the person was. "Who are you?"
When the woman saw that Tom didn't recognize her, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Chairman, you have forgotten me..."
Tom smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry. You wear sunglasses and a mask. I really can't see you
clearly."
The woman was stunned and then came back to her senses. That was true. She covered her whole
face. How could Tom recognize her?
So she thought about it and decided to take off her mask and sunglasses to reveal her face.
But this action of hers startled the others who quickly said, "Clarissa, you can't remove..."
It was too late to stop Clarissa. She had already taken off her sunglasses and mask, revealing a
delicate and beautiful face, which instantly amazed everyone passing by.
Tom remembered when he saw her face. Wasn't she the big star he had met twice before? What was
her name? He forgot for a moment.
"Chairman, do you remember me?" Clarissa asked expectantly and nervously.
Tom looked embarrassed. He did remember her, but he forgot her name. "Haha, I remember. Big star. I
didn't expect to see you here. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Clarissa was not stupid at all. From Tom's reaction, she knew that he didn't remember her name, which
disappointed her. At least she was a famous star with more than ten million fans in the country. She
had been recognized in less than ten seconds and was excitedly pointed at.
But Tom forgot her name.
On second thought, this was not an unusual thing. He was the chairman of ZQ Media, and there were a
lot of popular stars in his company. It was normal not to remember her.
She put on her mask and sunglasses again, covering her beautiful face and saying, "Chairman, my
name is Clarissa. We've met before."
Tom nodded and said, "I know. We had dinner together last time."
The people next to Clarissa found it incredible that Clarissa would take the initiative to greet a man
humbly. After all, Clarissa was a famous star. She could sing and act. She was talented in various arts.
How perfect she was! Many people are eager to fawn on her.
The man looked so ordinary and there was nothing special about him.
Wait a minute. What did Clarissa call this man? Chairman?
As Clarissa's new agent, Flora asked, "Clarissa, who is this?"
Clarissa said, "Sister, let me introduce you. This is the chairman of the ZQ Media, Tom."
In an instant, Flora's eyes widened and she looked at Tom differently.
The rest of them did the same, becoming very flattering and fawning. How ironic!
"Ah, so you are the chairman of ZQ Media. Nice to meet you. My name is Flora, and I'm Clarissa's new
agent!" Flora flattered.
Tom nodded faintly as a greeting, then said to Clarissa, "Miss Brown, I still have something to do. I'm
leaving. We'll talk when we have time."
Clarissa looked disappointed again. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Are you alone? Do you want
us to send you off?"
Tom thought for a while. He was indeed alone. Whether he was calling Phoebe or Elliot now, it would
take a while for them to come over and wait in line for a taxi. It would be great if Clarissa could take him
out of the airport.
"Okay. Thank you, Miss Brown." Tom said with a smile.
Clarissa was overjoyed. Then Flora whispered in her ear, "Clarissa, we're here to pick Smith up. They
have already landed and are coming out soon."
Although their voices were very low, Tom immediately heard what they were talking. He didn't want
Clarissa to be difficult. He said, "I suddenly remembered that I have called a friend to pick me up, so I
don't have to trouble Miss Brown."
Clarissa bit her lips. Although she was quite disappointed, she could only nod and say, "Okay, then
take your time, chairman. Let's talk next time."
Tom nodded and was about to leave when five tall foreigners walked over from the opposite side.
Among them, the thirty-year-old man was rather handsome. Tom had some impression of him. He was
a famous foreign movie star.
It seemed that Clarissa's team was going to pick up this group of foreigners.
They strutted over overbearingly. Anyone who stood in front of them was pushed away by two
bodyguards.
They saw Tom walking in the middle, and two white bodyguards pushed him away violently.
Tom immediately frowned. How dare those foreigners to be so overbearing in H Country!
He stood there motionless in the face of the pushing and shoving of two white bodyguards as if he had
been frightened out of his wits.
Many people who passed by saw this scene and got nervous. They thought that Tom would definitely
suffer. He was so thin that he would be pushed by two white people and hurt badly!
However, what happened next made them dumbfounded.
