Tom drank his tea with a mysterious smile.
Rufus hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Howard, you indeed have exceptional insight. I really appreciate that you can see through it at a glance."
Tom said meaningfully, "I believe it's not difficult to ask others to take revenge on behalf of you at the cost of half your assets. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
That was the truth. Rufus didn't have to spend half of his assets on hiring someone to take revenge. Wouldn't it be more prudent to hire a master of the Innate Realm to do that with the cost of tens of billions?
Rufus clenched his fists, his eyes full of bitter hatred. He gritted his teeth and said, "How could my revenge be taken by someone else? I want to kill him myself!"
Everyone else in the box was frightened by Rufus's hatred. It was too ferocious. Rufus was now completely different from his usual elegant and easy-going image. Rock and the others had never seen Rufus so ferocious even though they had followed Rufus for so long.
Tom took a deep look at Rufus and said, "I can help you rise to the Innate Realm."
Rufus was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Really? That's great. Thank you, Mr. Howard! Thank you!"
"You don't have to thank me now. I haven't told you my requirements." Tom put down his glass and said tonelessly.
"Mr. Howard, feel free to ask or anything." Rufus said.
Everyone looked at Tom again, wondering what requirements he would make.
A gleam flashed across Tom's eyes, "I want you."
Rufus's face immediately changed. He was smart. How could he not understand what Tom meant? Tom didn't just want half of his assets, but all of them!
He was much more acquisitive than May.
When Rock and the others heard this, they couldn't help but gape at Tom, their brows twitching violently. After following Rufus for many years, they naturally knew how powerful Rufus was now. He could be said to be the real king of W City. Otherwise, Kieran, the city master, wouldn't scruple about eliminating the forces of Rufus.
How many people would be shocked by the name Rufus! However, Tom was now planning to take Rufus under his command!
He was not just a vulture but a daydreamer!
Besides, would Rufus be willing to work under Tom?
Even Amelia was shocked. She found that she could not understand Tom gradually. He was too domineering now.
The huge box suddenly quietened down as everyone stopped talking. It was so quiet that the atmosphere was a little strange.
Rufus was lost in thought. To be honest, Tom's requirement was a little unexpected and even annoying! He was the absolute king of W City. How many years had he worked hard to get where he was today? In the end, Tom was about to take over his forces with such a glib talk?
However, he had to admit that Tom had the ability in him. The situation now was that Tom held power over the whole of G State, let alone W City.
After hesitating for almost two minutes, Rufus looked up at Tom and said, "Mr. Howard, do you ask for too much?"
Tom leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "You can take the second-best. Give me ten billion dollars. I will personally help you kill your enemy. Or you can let me go and pretend that you haven't met me tonight."
When Rufus heard this, he fell silent again. After a long time, he asked, "Mr. Howard, are you really sure you can help me rise to the Innate Realm?"
That was the problem. To be honest, Rufus didn't fully believe Tom. He had looked for May before, and even May wasn't 100% sure that she could help him achieve the breakthrough.
In addition to May, he had also asked other masters of the Innate Realm for help. All of them couldn't make sure about this.
