The other college students were also dumbfounded and wore an incredulous look. Even Coen's father had to be respectful to Tom. How powerful was Tom's background? Could he really be a big shot?
Tom didn't respond to Maximilian's apology. Instead, he enjoyed eating and drinking, looking especially mysterious and powerful.
Maximilian's forehead was sweating even more. He gave Coen a kick immediately and swore, "Coen! You bastard. Apologize to Mr. Howard now!"
Even if Tom had lost ground now, he was not someone Maximilian could afford to provoke. Above all, Tom had cultivated to an advanced level. If he was really annoyed, he could even hit them to death.
Therefore, Maximilian was truly afraid of Tom. He couldn't care less about his pride and apologized in a hurry.
Coen was totally stunned. It was too embarrassing for him to apologize to Tom in front of so many people. How could he continue staying in the circle in the future?
"Dad, are you too old to think straight? Why should I apologize to him? Doesn't my face count?" Coen said defiantly and straightened himself up.
At this moment, Tom spoke. He gave a meaningful smile, looked up, and said to Maximilian, "I appreciate your son's backbone."
Hearing that, Maximilian got more scared, especially when he saw that faint smile on Tom's face. He only felt a bucket of ice water pouring down from over his head, making his hands and feet freezing cold. He was terrified!
He was shivering.
Ignoring that, Maximilian slapped Coen on the back of his head with all his strength, making Coen scream in pain. Then he gave Coen a kick on the shin, and Coen knelt down in front of Tom with a thump. Maximilian shouted, "Kneel down and apologize to Mr. Howard!"
Now Coen realized that things were getting worse. He had never seen Maximilian so angry and scared, so he made an apology to Tom at once.
Tom stared at Maximilian, who was covered in a cold sweat and decided not to make things difficult for him. He just waved his hand and said, "Get away."
As if being granted a general amnesty, Maximilian beamed with joy and ran away with Coen.
After what had happened, many people did not dare to stay with Tom anymore and left one after another.
Tom was happy that it became quiet again so that he could eat and drink as he pleased.
"Dad! What was that Tom's background? Why are you so afraid of him? At least our family is also a big family in G State. You've disgraced the Sally Family by making me kneel down to him in front of so many people!" When they got back, Coen said, unconvinced.
Maximilian slapped Coen on the head and swore, "You bastard, how can you say that? How dare you offend Tom! Do you know who he is? He is the chairman of ZQ Media, TY Advertising, and Shield Security Company! If I hadn't protected you just now, you would have died!"
Coen was still not convinced. "Even if he is the chairman of ZQ Media, you don't have to be so afraid of him. Our family is powerful too! Dad, I think you are a real dotard."
Maximilian said, "What the hell do you know! Just use your shitty brain and think it over. Would I have been so scared of him if he was simply rich? The scary part of him is that he is a superb master of Innate Realm! Peter was killed by him some time ago!"
When Coen heard this, he widened his eyes with surprise. "No way. Isn't Peter Mr. Hall's father? He's the vice president of the North Sky Association! Was he killed by Tom?"
Maximilian said pettishly, "That's why I'm so afraid of him. If he had begun the fight, you would have been a corpse."
"I don't think he dares to do that in front of everyone, does he?" Coen's voice grew much lower. Finally, he was a little scared now.
