Chapter 419
In the huge private room, everyone suddenly quieted down. Their eyes were all on Tom, waiting for his
answer.
If it were someone else, he would feel stressed out rather than calmly taste the wine.
But for Tom, it was not a big deal.
As the person sitting next to him, Amelia felt the pressure and subconsciously wanted to finish the wine
for Tom and answer Rufus.
But as for Tom, he still drank slowly and finally sighed, "Good wine."
For the first time, she felt that Tom was a little cheeky.
Rufus was not angry but excited with anticipation. People like him were rather watchful and alert.
When he saw that Tom was so calm, he knew in his heart that Tom was probably capable of helping
him to get into the Innate Realm!
Originally, he was only 50% sure about it. But now, seeing Tom's reaction, he was 80 % sure about it.
He said with a smile, "I have taken out the wine that my daughter has treasured for twenty years so as
to serve Mr. Howard."
Tom also smiled and said, "Wine that has been stored for twenty years. How can I accept your
hospitality?"
Rufus waved his hand and said, "Just accept it. I'm lucky enough to be able to serve Mr. Howard the
wine. If Mr. Howard wants to drink, I'll personally send the rest of the wine to your mansion."
Tom smiled. He suddenly changed his tone and said, "Half of the property for the Innate Realm. Mr.
Lewis, this is too cost-effective."
Everyone's eyes widened. What the hell? Half of the property was worth at least 30 billion dollars. This
was still cost-effective? Besides, you, Tom, didn't have to lose something to help Rufus get into the
Innate Realm!
However, when Rufus heard this, he was relieved. He was afraid that Tom would reject him directly.
To be honest, most people thought that he was crazy to make such a bad decision to take out half of
his property for the way to get into the Innate Realm.
However, only he knew that if he could exchange half of his property to reach the Innate Realm, he
would benefit a lot.
He had so much wealth now. Was there a difference between 60 billion and 30 billion? No!
Besides, once he got into the Innate Realm, was he afraid that he would not be able to earn the 30
billion dollars back?
The Innate Realm, also known as the Transcendent Realm, literally meant that one could surpass
mortals and enter into another level.
Rufus dreamed of entering into this level!
"Mr. Howard, sorry to make you laugh at me. Half of my property is indeed not in line with your
expectations." Rufus said seriously, "Mr. Howard, I sincerely seek Mr. Howard's help. Once I get into
the Innate Realm, I will always be Mr. Howard's ally and will never betray!"
As he spoke, he stood up and swore to the light with incomparable solemnity.
Rock and the others felt that Rufus was very sincere. If it were them, they would have agreed without
hesitation.
But Tom's expression was much colder, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth. The goblet
spun on his fingertips. Miraculously, the wine in the goblet could not be spilled at all.
"Rufus, do you think I care about your alliance? To put it bluntly, even if you get into the Innate Realm,
you are still negligible in front of me." Tom said in a low voice. His words were mean, but everyone
knew that Tom was not pretending to be somebody, but stating a fact.
That's right, Peter. Ten years ago, he got into the Innate Realm. He was an absolute powerful master,
but he died in Tom's hands.
Not to mention May, who was also a more powerful one at the Innate Realm and a famous female
devil, was killed by Tom in the end.
Rufus was already over forty years old this year. Even if he could get into the Innate Realm, he would
never be able to catch up with Tom in his life.
Rufus's lips moved. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Tom was right.
During this period of time, he had specially investigated Tom. The more he investigated, the more
surprised he became and the more he respected Tom!
Now that Tom was taunting him like this in front of his men, he did not dare to have any dissatisfaction.
He only felt depressed and hopeless.
He had always been known for his tact, and his best skill was to deal with people. Even if his enemies
were in front of him, he could make them not hate him anymore.
But now, when he faced Tom, he could not be saponaceous. It was because although Tom was just
sitting there, Tom made him feel that Tom was like a mountain, pressing him so hard that he couldn't
breathe!
After a long time, he sighed and said, "You're right. Even if I get into the Innate Realm, I'm still an ant in
front of you. Alas."
At this moment, he was full of decadence. He no longer had his previous domineering, high-spirited Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
and vigorous manner.
Rock and the rest of his men were especially upset now.
At this moment, Tom suddenly said, "How did May reject you?"
Rufus was stunned, then he reacted and said, "May. She had set too high a condition. She wanted 90
% of my property, and required that I shall be her disciple after breaking into the Innate Realm."
This request sounded excessive, but Tom nodded and said, "Not too excessive."
Wasn't that too excessive?
Amelia thought Tom was a little too much.
Rufus smiled bitterly and did not say anything.
Tom continued, "But May obviously failed. She has no ability to help you break into the Innate Realm."
"You are right." Rufus glanced at Tom and nodded as he said in a low voice.
Then, he said with emotion, "It's difficult to climb to the sky. It is even more difficult to get into the Innate
Realm!"
Everyone present felt his unwillingness and bleakness.
But what could he do? If he couldn't break through, he couldn't.
Tom looked at him and suddenly said, "What level of the Innate Realm is your enemy at?"
Many people felt that Tom's words were nonsense. Why did they talk about the enemy suddenly?
Besides, with Rufus's current strength and status, who could be his enemy?
However, after hearing his words, Rufus's eyes widened and filled with shock. He cried out as he lost
control of himself, "You, how did you know?!"
Hearing his words, everyone realized that Tom was right. Rufus really had an enemy, and this enemy
was a top master at the Innate Realm!
Tom smiled. He did not show any pride in exposing Rufus. He said faintly, "Your eyes tell me the
answer."
Now, Rufus was more in awe of Tom!
Even his closest subordinates did not know this secret. He did not expect that in their first meeting, Tom
would know about this.
