Indeed, none of the people of the Howards at the scene were kind. They were all prominent figures in society and many people had to bow to them. They had been in high positions for a long time, so even if they were good-for-nothings, they developed an aura of authority over time.
Now, they were furious, and the outburst of their anger made people under great pressure.
Besides, big shots like Samuel, Michael, and Owen were also there. Even if it were Elliot or Colton, they would also pee their pants in fear.
However, after a slight change in his expression, Tom immediately returned to normal. He still wore a faint smile and was completely immune to such great pressure. At most, it was only a snap in his bones.
The reason why Tom could be so calm was not only that his strength had been greatly improved after Master Chou's week of strict training, but also that he had hatred in his heart. The angrier the people of the Howards were, the more relieved he was. Thus, he was not afraid of the oppression from the Howards.
.
After a short silence, there was an outburst of shouting and cursing.
"What the hell!"
"Arrogant, too arrogant. Tom, who do you think you are? How dare you tease us like this?"
"Damn it, I can't stand it anymore. What the hell? He really thinks he's something!"
"It seems that it's impossible for him to take out the 589 billion dollars obediently. Let's cut the crap and just lock him up to torture him. I'm sure he will take out the money obediently then!"
"Second brother is right. Lock this bastard up and torture him to death."
This proposal was approved by many people, and they began to be indignant. They stared at Tom with cold eyes, as if they were staring at the pig to be slaughtered on the chopping block.
Tom was not afraid. Instead, he smiled and said in a teasing tone, "Why don't you guys keep pretending? Are you going to be angry and have a falling-out with me?"
No one spoke and they all stared at Tom. Now Tom was the common enemy of the Howards.
Wes, who was on the side, could not stop shivering. He was really scared now and felt nervous for Tom. At the same time, he couldn't figure out why Tom was so bold. He not only came to the meeting alone, but also deliberately annoyed people of the Howards. Was Tom so powerful? This was the Howards's meeting, so all the powerful and influential members of the Howards were present. Tom was undoubtedly fighting against the entire family on his own. Besides, Owen was also here, a terrifying figure.
Could it be that Tom didn't want to live anymore?
Samuel stared at Tom coldly and said, "Tom, you go too far this time. Do you really think that with more than 50 billion dollars in your hands, we can't do anything about you?"
"Uncle, it's good that you know it. Are you tired of having to pretend all the time?" Tom smiled.
His playful manner made Samuel angry, and at the same time, Samuel felt that there was nothing he could do. Tom's performance this time made him have a sense of crisis and he could not figure out Tom's intention.
Michael stood out again and pointed at Tom, "Shameless! Tom, listen, you have to take out the money that the old man left for. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk out of this door!"
Others also began to threaten Tom. For a moment, Tom was in danger and could be destroyed at any time.
If it were someone else, they would have been scared out of their wits, flustered, and broken down.
However, Tom could still smile.
He took out a cell phone from his pocket and said, "Chou, you've recorded everything, haven't you? If I don't leave Wind Pavilion in an hour, send this recording to the police, saying that someone in the Howards is kidnapping and blackmailing me. I believe this is troublesome enough for the Howards to deal with."
Master Chou's voice came through the loudspeaker of the phone, "Yes, Second Young Master, I got it."
