Master Chou said meaningfully, "Master Sunny did it for your own good."
Tom said noncommittally, "I want to see her. Arrange it for me."
Master Chou was silent for a while and said, "When the time is right, Master Sunny will come to see you."
Since Master Chou had said so, Tom had nothing to say.
Reason told him that this so-called Master Sunny should be harmless to him, and one day, he would be able to see Sunny.
What he needed to do now was to improve his strength in the shortest time possible!
After Tom and Master Chou left, Hawthorne and Myles chatted.
"Father, it seems that Tom is very loyal to his wife. It's not easy to draw him in by marriage." Myles looked in the direction where Tom and Master Chou left and said with a worried expression on his face.
Hawthorne said, "There is no absolute loyalty in this world. As long as the temptation is strong enough, Tom will definitely yield to temptation."
Myles added, "Father, I don't understand. Is Tom really that useful? Our the Paynes is also one of the largest families in the south. How can we draw him in in such a humble way?"
Now Myles was no longer as loyal and honest as he was in front of Tom. He frowned and his eyes were full of wisdom. Indeed, the person who could achieve his position could not be as simple and honest as he appeared. He must be shrewd and scheming, or else he would be plotted against.
"Hahaha..." Hawthorne suddenly burst into laughter. He was full of energy, and was not at all like an old man in his eighties. Then a terrifying light burst out in his eyes and he said, "A twenty-eight-year-old master of the Innate Realm is a very rare existence! Besides, he achieved the Innate Realm after taking the Top-rank Purification Pill. There is no another genius like Tom in the whole country! Do you think he is worth it?"
Hawthorne stared at his son with bright eyes.
Myles was also shocked by his father's words. After thinking about it carefully, he still had some doubts and said, "Father, I don't understand. Is the Innate Realm that powerful? It's the 21st century, the era of hot weapons, and personal combat ability is no longer useful, right?"
Indeed, this was something Myles could never understand. After he learned about Tom's life, he admired Tom very much. He knew that Tom was a talent and deserved to be recruited by the Paynes. However, although he was a talent, the Paynes shouldn't try to draw him in by marriage, a very humble way, right? Besides, Tom had already been married. If it got out, it would damage the reputation of the Paynes.
Hawthorne shook his head and said, "Myles, you have engaged in trade since you were a child and you've never cultivated before, so it's normal for you not to be interested in martial arts."
After a pause, Hawthorne continued, "Everyone who hasn't reached the Extrinsic Peak are mortals. No matter how powerful they are, they are only a rough-neck and not worth our the Paynes to draw them in like this. This is true. But when it comes to the Innate Realm, it's completely different! The Innate Realm is also known as the Transcendent Realm. There are no more than 1000 people in the world who can reach it. At the Innate Realm, improvements are not just about power! Most importantly, there will be a huge increase in the one's thinking, intelligence, gut feeling, and so on. It's no exaggeration to say that Tom has already jumped out of the category of mortals and is considered half an immortal. Do you think such a person is worth it for us to swallow our pride and draw him in?"
After hearing this, Myles was completely shocked!
His mouth was wide open, and he looked incredulous.
