"Mr. Howard, I'm sorry. Please accept my apology!"
Smith said reluctantly through gnashed teeth.
When the other people saw Smith apologizing, they also felt very aggrieved and furious.
Tom didn't push too far. He had achieved his goal of humiliating these people, so he did not continue to make things difficult for them, or people would think he was unreasonable and petty.
"Well, since you are being so sincere, I will forgive you." Tom said these words in their language, fluently and without an accent.
When Smith heard this, he was so angry that he almost flipped the table. This man knew how to speak their language. He was trying to embarrass him just now. He was too base!
And Connor's eyes grew colder.
This was exactly what Tom wanted to see. These foreigners had bullied many people in H Country. How could he be kind to them? Tom was a very patriotic person!
Clarissa and Flora were not idiots. They could tell now that Tom was deliberately embarrassing Smith and the others. However, no matter what, they were very happy to see Smith being humiliated. In the past few days, Smith had cold-shouldered them, and been arrogant snobs.
They were also a little worried that Tom would anger them by making things difficult for Smith. Especially the foreigner named Connor looked strong. His fists were full of calluses, and his neck was abnormally thick. He was especially frightening.
Tom just glanced at Connor indifferently, without paying attention to him at all. In fact, Tom knew what Smith was up to. He was determined to give these foreigners a hard lesson and let them know that H Country abounded with talents and that they couldn't afford to offend it.
After sitting down again, the atmosphere was a little stiff. Seeing this situation, Flora quickly stood up and started to talk, breaking the silence.
Slowly, the waiter began to serve. Smith found an opportunity and continued, "Mr. Howard, you injured us at the airport that day. Did you use the martial arts of H Country?"
Tom knew that he was getting to the point. He nodded and said, "Yes. How's it going? Is it okay?"
Smith and Connor looked at each other and said with a smile, "Mr. Howard, you're a businessman. We don't know you still know how to fight. None of my bodyguards is your match. And they are very powerful."
As he spoke, Smith gave Tom a thumbs-up. He looked very admirable, but he was actually sneering in his heart.
Tom smiled and lowered his head to get some food. He didn't respond.
Then, Smith said directly, "Mr. Howard, my friend here has practiced boxing and wants to compete with you. I wonder if you are interested in this?"
Finally, Smith said the real purpose of this meal. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Tom expectantly, hoping that Tom would agree.
However, Tom shook his head and said, "No, I'm not interested."
Smith immediately frowned and sneered, "Mr. Howard, are you afraid?"
Connor looked up and began to speak. "I heard that H Country's kungfu is very good, so I came here to learn. You don't have to be afraid. I will be merciful and won't hurt you."
Connor said with a teasing smile on his face.
