"Tom? Who?" Nikolai immediately asked in confusion. The others did not react for a moment. In the Military Intelligence 3, the highest cultivators were Marlin and Silas, and the mission was so important and difficult that only they could carry it out.
Even Thorn did not react for a moment.
Marlin continued, "Of course, Instructor Tom of the Fourth Group?"
Nikolai said, "Marlin, don't make jokes. This mission is very important. We can't allow any mistakes. Tom is just a new instructor. He's not so capable."
The other senior management also echoed in agreement, and they were worried that a task at this level would be handed over to a newcomer.
However, Marlin insisted, "You underestimated Tom. I think it won't be a problem if he carries out the mission. He's better than me."
They all stared straight at Marlin, trying to see if he was joking, but they didn't expect Marlin to be so serious. Nikolai said uncertainly, "Marlin, are you sure you're not joking?"
Marlin said with a bitter smile, "Do you think I'm joking? Tom is the most suitable one for the mission. It just so happens that he's new here. He hasn't been on a mission before and hasn't contributed much to the Military Intelligence 3. This time, he's the only person for the mission."
Hearing Marlin's words, they were deep in thought. Working with Marlin for many years, they could tell that he was not joking. This was enough to surprise them and they found it hard to believe.
After a while, Thorn said directly, "Marlin, have you fought with Tom?"
Everyone else's eyes fell on Marlin at once. These days, rumors about Tom were spreading. Many people were saying that Marlin was defeat by Tom, which was why he was so afraid of Tom.
However, Tom and Marlin didn't admit it. So people were suspicious.
Marlin sighed in his heart, knowing that this matter could not be avoided. Now that Thorn asked, he nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Tom and I have already fought."
Thorn asked again, "What's the outcome?"
Marlin smiled bitterly and said, "You've all guessed it. Why do you need to ask?"
What he said was an indirect admission that Marlin was defeated by Tom, which was still very shocking to them.
After a while, a senior asked, "How is Tom's strength?"
Marlin took a deep breath and said seriously and fearfully, "Unfathomable!"
They were still shocked to hear such a valuation, especially after they heard Marlin's instructions, they were dumbfounded, unable to believe that Tom was able to defeat Marlin on the sea and he had the energy to hunt the sharks, unscathed... This was terrifying!
Thorn exclaimed in astonishment, "Has Tom reached the Innate Realm, Major Perfection Realm?"
Marlin shook his head and said, "I don't think so, but he's at least in the fourth stage of the Innate Realm. The point is, Tom is only 28 years old, and his prospect is beyond measure."
Then, Marlin looked deeply at Thorn and said, "Thorn, you have done a great job for Military Intelligence 3 this time. You found such a top player. I think that with Tom leading the team in this year's competition, the results will be ideal."
