Tom didn't give them the chance to beg for mercy. He just raised his hand and slapped them across the face. The two fell to the ground, their cheeks swollen.
For a moment, the way everyone looked at Tom changed. He was too damn powerful and violent. These two tall strong foreigners were taught a lesson by him. The scene seemed so unreal!
Smith and the others were so shocked and scared. It was not the first time they had come to H Country, but they had never met such a thing before. None of the people from H Country they had met in the past was disrespectful to them.
"You, you..." Smith covered his face with his hand and felt a burning pain. He stared at Tom in horror and couldn't articulate properly.
Not to mention them, Flora and the others were also shocked. They never expected that the chairman of ZQ Media was so good at fighting and so violent!
Tom looked down at Smith and said, "This is a little punishment for you. The next time I hear you insulting we H Country people, you will get more than a slap!"
Smith was very angry, irritated, and humiliated. He clenched his teeth, but didn't dare to talk back to Tom, because he was genuinely terrified of him.
Tom quit while he was ahead and didn't create difficulties for them again. Instead, he turned to Clarissa and said, "Miss Brown, I'm sorry. I put you in an awkward position by slapping these foreigners, but I will call Nash and clarify the whole situation to him."
Somehow, Clarissa felt warm inside. Was Tom caring about her feelings?
She shook her head and said, "Mr. Howard, it's so kind of you, and you are not to blame for this. Smith and the others are too overbearing to begin with, and I'm on your side."
After that, she blinked wittily. Tom gave a faint smile and said nothing else but, "In that case, I won't disturb you. I'm going back now."
Clarissa had intended to ask Tom to stay, but Tom had already turned around and left. Her lips moved and she wanted to say something to make him stay, but she didn't at last. Clarissa was a little disappointed. But immediately, she got excited again. Could it be that her relationship with Tom had become closer?
But to be honest, Mr. Howard was really handsome and mighty just now. Such a man was the perfect being!
When Tom left, Smith breathed a sigh of relief and began to swear angrily, "This damn yellow...man. He's so outrageous! I must call the police!"
Then, he gave Clarissa and Flora a ferocious stare and said, "I will tell your chairman what happened just now. I am very dissatisfied with your performance just now! This cooperation has been canceled!"
After that, he left no chance for Clarissa and Flora to speak, turned around and strode away, but his back looked very embarrassed.
...
When Tom returned from the airport, he took a taxi and went straight back to Dragon Bay.
Tom didn't put what happened just now in mind at all. To him, it was just a thing that could not be any smaller.
An hour later, Tom returned to Dragon Bay and happened to see Phoebe watering the flowers there. She was in her casual wear and looked exceptionally virtuous. When Tom saw this scene, his heart softened immediately.
He worked hard outside home to provide Phoebe with a stable environment.
He walked over and gestured to the hidden bodyguards around. They saluted Tom at once to show their respect for him and then disappeared silently.
With Tom around, Phoebe was the safest. No one could hurt Phoebe.
