The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 420

Tom drank his tea with a mysterious smile.

Rufus hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Howard, you indeed have exceptional insight. I really

appreciate that you can see through it at a glance."

Tom said meaningfully, "I believe it's not difficult to ask others to take revenge on behalf of you at the

cost of half your assets. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

That was the truth. Rufus didn't have to spend half of his assets on hiring someone to take revenge.

Wouldn't it be more prudent to hire a master of the Innate Realm to do that with the cost of tens of

billions?

Rufus clenched his fists, his eyes full of bitter hatred. He gritted his teeth and said, "How could my

revenge be taken by someone else? I want to kill him myself!"

Everyone else in the box was frightened by Rufus's hatred. It was too ferocious. Rufus was now

completely different from his usual elegant and easy-going image. Rock and the others had never seen

Rufus so ferocious even though they had followed Rufus for so long.

Tom took a deep look at Rufus and said, "I can help you rise to the Innate Realm."

Rufus was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Really? That's great. Thank you, Mr. Howard! Thank you!"

"You don't have to thank me now. I haven't told you my requirements." Tom put down his glass and said

tonelessly.

"Mr. Howard, feel free to ask or anything." Rufus said.

Everyone looked at Tom again, wondering what requirements he would make.

A gleam flashed across Tom's eyes, "I want you."

Rufus's face immediately changed. He was smart. How could he not understand what Tom meant?

Tom didn't just want half of his assets, but all of them!

He was much more acquisitive than May.

When Rock and the others heard this, they couldn't help but gape at Tom, their brows twitching

violently. After following Rufus for many years, they naturally knew how powerful Rufus was now. He

could be said to be the real king of W City. Otherwise, Kieran, the city master, wouldn't scruple about

eliminating the forces of Rufus.

How many people would be shocked by the name Rufus! However, Tom was now planning to take

Rufus under his command!

He was not just a vulture but a daydreamer!

Besides, would Rufus be willing to work under Tom?

Even Amelia was shocked. She found that she could not understand Tom gradually. He was too

domineering now.

The huge box suddenly quietened down as everyone stopped talking. It was so quiet that the

atmosphere was a little strange.

Rufus was lost in thought. To be honest, Tom's requirement was a little unexpected and even annoying!

He was the absolute king of W City. How many years had he worked hard to get where he was today?

In the end, Tom was about to take over his forces with such a glib talk?

However, he had to admit that Tom had the ability in him. The situation now was that Tom held power

over the whole of G State, let alone W City.

After hesitating for almost two minutes, Rufus looked up at Tom and said, "Mr. Howard, do you ask for

too much?"

Tom leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "You can take the second-best. Give me ten billion

dollars. I will personally help you kill your enemy. Or you can let me go and pretend that you haven't

met me tonight."

When Rufus heard this, he fell silent again. After a long time, he asked, "Mr. Howard, are you really

sure you can help me rise to the Innate Realm?"

That was the problem. To be honest, Rufus didn't fully believe Tom. He had looked for May before, and

even May wasn't 100% sure that she could help him achieve the breakthrough.

In addition to May, he had also asked other masters of the Innate Realm for help. All of them couldn't

make sure about this.

Tom said, "You should prepare the Purification Pill yourself. As long as you follow my instructions and

have enough fortitude, you can hardly fail."

Rufus clenched his teeth. What Tom said really tempted him!

As long as Tom could really help him rise to the Innate Realm, it would be acceptable for him to be at

Tom's command.

Tom said, "I'll be staying in W City for another two days. Just reply me by tomorrow night. It's not

urgent."

Looking at Tom's leisurely eating, Rufus made a decision right now. He took a deep breath and said,

"Don't wait for tomorrow night! I've decided now!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked to Tom. Kneeling on one knee, he said solemnly, "Mr.

Howard, as long as you can help me rise to the Innate Realm, I, Rufus, will be your follower from now

on!"

"Okay!"

Tom's eyes lit up as well. After putting down his chopsticks, he stood up, held Rufus, and laughed,

"Very good. From now on, I will share my fortunes with you forever!"

This scene was quite strange. Rufus was much elder than Tom, but now he was swearing his loyalty to

Tom. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Rufus glanced at Rock and the others. They readily took the hint and immediately knelt on one knee in

front of Tom, beginning to swear their loyalty.

Getting such a competent follower, Tom was in a good mood. He drank like a fish with Rufus and the

others.

Amelia stared at Tom with more affection and admiration. This was her man, the most extraordinary

existence in the world.

After Rufus swore his loyalty, Tom did not hide anything from him. He immediately told Rufus the key to

rising to the Innate Realm and the dos and don'ts.

Rufus had already prepared the Purification Pill. When the time was ripe for action, he would make

arrangements for W City, leave for H City, and then make an advance towards the Innate Realm.

"Mr. Howard, I've seen a lot of talents in my life, but you are the only one who has reached such a level

at such a young age. Mr. Howard, I admire you from the bottom of my heart!"

Rufus stood up and toasted Tom with admiration.

Amelia was also full of pride after hearing this. However, Tom said, "Rufus, if you want to go further on

the road of martial arts, you'd better stop ingratiating yourself with others. Be a pure person."

Rufus's face froze, revealing some awkwardness. He had just flattered Tom as a Pavlovian response.

Ordinary people would be especially happy to be flattered by him. He didn't expect Tom's reply and

thus felt awkward.

Fortunately, he, as a smart person, immediately understood what Tom meant. He was even more

grateful to Tom.

He had been cultivating since he was young with outstanding talent. But for so many years, he came to

a standstill at the Extrinsic Peak and fail to make a breakthrough. He used to think that he was unlucky,

but he knew the reason now, inspired by Tom's words.

"Thank you, Mr. Howard! Rufus will remember your guidance."

Rufus became serious and sincerely thanked Tom with his fists cupped.

Tom waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind.

Then, they continued to talk.

"Tell me the background of your enemy." Tom asked curiously.

Hatred flashed in Rufus's eyes. When he was about to speak, a cacophony of noises came from

outside.

Then, the door was kicked open.
