Tom had made an incredibly forceful entrance by crashing a car straight into the banquet hall. The scene caught everyone off guard.
Everyone of the Zouch family was huddled up in fear. This was the first time they’d seen Tom, and they’d only known that the head of the Maguires was here from the way the guests were talking.
Baron had seen Tom just last night, so he recognized him. Besides, Camel had just told him that the Maguires were on their way for revenge, so he wasn’t surprised in the slightest.
“Mr. Maguire, sir, what – what are you doing here?”
Ryan walked up hurriedly, stuttering.
“Piss off!”
One of Tom’s bodyguards slapped Ryan across the face.
Mouth bloody, Ryan slumped off to the side.
Everyone around was in a state of terror, especially the Zouches.
Today was a grand occasion for the Zouch family, but Tom was showing up personally. Looked like he had ill intentions.
As far as it went in Kato, the Zouch family didn’t even count as a bottom-rung clan. The most they amounted to was a large country household.
While the Maguires were part of the two top families of Kato.
It could be said that one was high-end society while the other was salt-of-the-earth. Two families with nothing to do with each other, but now Tom was showing up personally. It was certainly very strange.
Ryan was having a bad day. Camel had come and told him to piss off, now Tom had come and did the same thing, and his bodyguard had given him a slap to boot.
Many people looked sympathetically at Ryan.
“Where’s Baron? Get the hell out here!”
Tom walked to the center of the hall, and a bodyguard dragged a chair over.
Hearing Tom’s words, everyone realized that he was here for Baron.
Ryan felt a surge of resentment. If he’d known the man was here for Baron, he wouldn’t have drawn attention to himself.
“Honey!”
Tracy tugged at Baron’s sleeve nervously.
Baron smiled. “Don’t forget what I said yesterday. If the Maguire family really does make a scene, I’ll exterminate them from Kato after today!”
In the silence of the banquet hall, Baron’s authoritative voice was clearly heard by everyone in the room.
Everyone widened their eyes as they gazed at him.
Tom, too, finally saw Baron, and his face sank. In his eyes, Baron’s statement had been arrogant to the extreme.
Baron gazed sharply at Tom and mocked, “Weren’t you just apologizing to me last night, Mr. Maguire? What are you here for today?”
Last night, Martin and Tom had appeared at once, and Baron had broken Todd’s arm, shocking everyone and retrieving Tracy safely.
It had just been one night. Now Tom was showing up at the wedding to look for him.
If Camel hadn’t let him in on it just then, Baron wouldn’t have expected such a scene.
“He says that Tom apologized to him last night?”
“How’s that possible? He’s the head of the Maguire family!”
“If not, why would he dare to talk like that in front of Tom?”
…
Everyone was shocked. Baron’s words were stunning.
If he hadn’t thoroughly investigated Baron’s background, just from Baron’s calmness alone right now, Tom wouldn’t have had the nerve to deal with him.
“Don’t bullshit me, punk. I’ll ask you this – did you have anything to do with the death of my grandson Paris?”
