Tom suddenly stood up from his chair and in a twinkling of an eye he was in front of Duke. He threw a seemingly random slap on Duke's Cannon Fist.
Suddenly, Duke was severely injured and he felt an overwhelming force coming over him. He felt as if he had been hit by a speeding car and he could not bear it at all. The force was so strong that he kept stepping back and removing the force. His shoes were stretched open and his barefoot embarrassed him.
Tom did not look at him, but said directly to Rufus, "Is this person your enemy?"
Rufus was stunned. Duke's punch made him feel stressed. Once he was hit, even if he was not killed, he was bound to be badly injured. However, Tom acted like he was slapping a mosquito. This strong contrast made Rufus dumbfounded in an instant.
Duke also looked at Tom in horror. He had just felt the greatest power he had ever felt, and it was going to engulf him!
He almost reached the Innate Realm, and he's already invincible. However, this ordinary young man could easily defeat him. There was only one possibility that this young man was a master of the Innate Realm!
"Who the hell are you?!" Duke shouted in shock.
The others in the room were also shocked. Whether Rufus's supporters or Duke's, everyone believed that Tom was much stronger than Duke according to Tom's performance just now.
Rufus finally came back to his senses. His eyes were filled with admiration and excitement. He nodded hard and said, "Yes, he is Duke. He has taken the Purification Pill three times. It is said that those who have not reached the Innate Realm are no match for him. He is that man's right-hand man!"
When Rufus said this, he gritted his teeth and was very angry.
Tom nodded and said, "Do you want me to kill him?"
Duke's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he shouted excitedly, "Hey, I don't care who you are, but you'd better not act rashly. My boss is a top expert of the Innate Realm!"
Tom ignored him. In his eyes, Duke was nobody. He could kill him in a breeze.
When Rufus heard Tom's words, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and wanted to agree. Nonetheless, he restrained himself and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Howard, but I still want to kill him myself!"
Tom smiled slightly, showing some appreciation. He nodded in agreement.
"Duke, go back and tell Malachi that sooner or later I will personally take his head! Tell him to wash his neck and wait for me!" Rufus said domineeringly.
Duke looked extremely gloomy. He stared at Rufus and then at Tom, full of dread. He had already seen that Tom was a master of the Innate Realm, but he didn't know who Tom was.
He snorted heavily and left dejectedly, not daring to say any more harsh words.
After what had happened just now, Rufus was even more in awe of Tom and did not dare to have any thoughts of disobedience.
Tom didn't stay any longer. He said goodbye to the crowd and left with Amelia.
"Boss, are you really going to acknowledge allegiance to Mr. Howard?"
In the closed study, Rock asked in confusion. In his opinion, Rufus was an ambitious big shot and would not acknowledge allegiance to anyone. However, tonight Rufus acknowledged allegiance to Tom, which made him a little astonished.
