The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 523

When Tom saw their reactions, he smiled and was still very calm. He was not pretending like this, but he had experienced situations like this many times.

He was very powerful with great strength, but he was still a little tired after two major fights. He said to Marlin, "Marlin, we just tied hands. I don't think there's any need to continue fighting. What do you think?"

Marlin was stunned to hear his words. He knew Tom was trying to save his face.

The other four experts of the Innate Realm also had the same strange expression on their faces. Others couldn't see it just now, but the four of them could see clearly that Marlin was not Tom's match at all. He didn't even get to fight back once and was badly injured.

When Marlin came to his senses, he immediately showed his gratitude. Tom was so magnanimous that he even protected his dignity! It could be said that at this moment, Marlin was completely brought into submission by Tom. He took two steps forward and said respectfully, "Tom, you are being polite. Thank you for your mercy just now. Otherwise, I would have died at sea! You are a great master to me!"

He sounded serious, which shocked many people. They couldn't help thinking that even Marlin was no match for Tom and that it was obvious that Tom was really powerful!

Tom smiled. He did not deny Marlin's words. He said, "Marlin is too powerful. I am also very impressed."

Then, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. All the grudges disappeared in this smile.

At this moment, a person with a nice figure came out and knelt down in front of Tom. "Master!"

It was Diana. Her face was filled with admiration for Tom and excitement. She was about to kowtow to Tom.

Tom was startled and then smiled wryly, thinking Diana was so stubborn that she still didn't give up her idea of being his disciple.

Seeing that Diana was about to kowtow, Tom quickly moved to the side and said unhappily, "Miss Foster, you'd better find someone else. I don't have any plans to take in an apprentice for the time being."

The rest of the people present came back to their senses. Yes, tonight's banquet was a formal ritual where the younger generation of the Fosters was officially taken in by their masters. But Tom had just stolen the limelight. They only realized now what this banquet was for.

Diana said domineeringly, "I don't care. I am your disciple for the rest of my life no matter what."

Tom's head ached even more when he heard this. What did he do that made her so insistent on being his disciple?

According to Creed's plan, Diana would be the apprentice of Marlin, but now it seemed that Tom was a better choice.

He was a businessman, and his thinking was always based on interests. To be fair, it was better to be in alliance with Tom than with Marlin.

Besides, Tom was still very young, and his future was limitless.

After thinking about it, he immediately said, "Mr. Howard, I only have one daughter. I usually dote on her very much. May you take my daughter as an apprentice? She loves martial arts since she was little. She is different from other girls and I have been helpless about that. She worships you. I believe that she will go places under your instructions. This is also my dream."

Then Creed bowed respectfully at Tom. He was humble now. Creed was not an ordinary person, but the patriarch of the Fosters. He was very powerful and had a high status, and it was almost impossible for him to bow to any ordinary people.

Moreover, what Creed said just now meant Diana was his only daughter and that as long as Tom took her in, an alliance was formed.

This was something that many people envied.

Elliot was so excited that he wished he could agree in Tom's stead.
