The gunshot was so sudden that Owen was startled. He stopped for a moment when he was about to step on Tom.
Taking this opportunity, Tom exerted his last strength and quickly rolled to the right, struggling out of Owen's feet!
After the gunshot, there was a voice, "Young master Owen Howard, live and let live. Stop."
It was a man's voice. Tom immediately looked up and saw a young man in sportswear who looked like he was running in the morning. He was standing more than ten meters away with a silver pocket pistol in his hand and a faint smile on his face.
Owen also saw this person, and his face changed slightly. "Chou, it's you?" he asked.
The man nodded slightly and said, "It's rare for you to remember me, young master. I'm very honored."
If Rory was here, at a glance, he would have recognized him, the famous underground emperor of H City, Mr. Potter!
It turned out that Mr. Potter's name was Chou.
When Tom saw Chou, a trace of complexity flashed by his eyes.
At this moment, Chou also nodded to Tom and said respectfully, "Young master Tom."
Tom did not respond. Instead, he stood up silently and resisted the urge to cough up blood.
"Chou, are you going against me?" asked Owen in an unfriendly tone, staring at him coldly.
Mr. Potter shook his head and said, "I don't dare."
"Then mind your business. Get out of my way!" Owen snorted as he was going to attack Tom again.
But as soon as he moved, there was another gunshot. The bullet hit under his feet again. Mr. Potter said, "Young master Owen Howard, you'd better go back."
Owen stopped again. He pulled a long face and fixed his eyes on Mr. Potter. "Chou! You're determined to go against me, aren't you?! Don't think I'm afraid of you as you're doing well in H City!"
Mr. Potter lowered his head again to show respect for Owen, but he said, "Master told me to protect young master Tom during his lifetime, so please don't make it difficult for me."
"Damn! It's this old bastard again!" Owen gritted his teeth and cursed. His face changed. He looked at Tom for a long time with unwillingness in his eyes.
Tom, who remained as calm as ever, looked at Owen fearlessly.
"You're lucky! You got Chou to protect you." Owen snorted and said, "Well, I'll let you go for a few more days. What belongs to me sooner or later belongs to me."
After that, he dodged and disappeared.
It was not until Tom confirmed that he had left that he was relaxed. He was already sweating profusely. A fierce battle just now had consumed too much of his physical strength. If it weren't for Chou, Owen would have wasted his martial arts even if he didn't kill him.
Mr. Potter put away the pistol and walked to Tom, trying to hold Tom, but Tom pushed him away. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
Tom seemed to complain about Mr. Potter.
Mr. Potter said, "Young master Tom, I'm here to protect you."
"Protect me?" Hearing this, Tom burst out laugh as if he heard a very funny joke. "What a funny joke!" he said.
As Mr. Potter saw Tom like this, his expression was changing. Finally, he lowered his head and bowed deeply to Tom, saying, "Young master Tom, I know you've been holding a grudge because I haven't looked for you for the past four years, but this is what the old master ordered. He specially told me that I was not allowed to anything else but to protect you secretly."
Hearing this, Tom was slighted touched as his expression changed. "Why did grandpa do this? What's the purpose?" he asked.
