The Vengeful Son-in-law

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.

Tom smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Foster, you overestimated me. In fact, I am just a violent, rude

practitioner. I have never had an apprentice before. I am afraid that your daughter may not be able to

achieve much if she is my apprentice. I am somewhat good at martial arts, but I know nothing about

teaching, so I won't mislead others."

Tom refused Creed.

Creed frowned. He was the head of the Fosters. He had been so humble, but Tom still refused. It was a

disgrace to him.

However, he had to admit that Tom had the right to do that. Moreover, Tom was being subtle so that he

didn't know how to refute his words.

Diana was a little anxious, and she immediately said, "Master, I will not disappoint you. I will definitely

be focused on my cultivation!"

Tom shook his head and said firmly, "I'm sorry. I don't have a plan to take in any disciples now."

Diana could tell that Tom was serious. She was extremely disappointed. She had been eager to be his

disciple for a very long time and couldn't let it go.

Fortunately, she didn't give up easily. She immediately cheered up and said, "When you have a plan,

you must tell me! I want to be your first apprentice!"

"Okay." Tom waved his hand, not taking it to heart.

After this, the focus of the banquet was no longer on the Fosters, but on Tom. There was nothing they

could do. The strength that Tom had shown just now was so terrifying that it was hard for them to

ignore him.

Tom went to change into a clean suit, took a shower, and went back to his room to rest.

After all, he was not in Immortal Realm. His physical strength was limited. The two fights had depleted

eighty percent of his physical strength and now he was quite tired.

The cruise ship would be at sea for two days. Tom thought he might as well sleep in his room and

recover his strength.

In fact, it was not easy to use up all the physical strength for a person in his realm. Just now, the fight

had only consumed more than 80%. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

But the fights had benefited him greatly because they were fighting on the sea. And the second fight

was even in the sea when they were fighting the sharks. It gave him a deeper understanding of power

and combat instinct!

He found that after these two fights, his strength had improved a little. He was no longer consolidating

himself in the fourth stage, but had gone further.

Although there was a clear distinction between different realms after reaching the Innate Realm, there

was no accurate limit to a person's real power. In theory, if the combat instinct of someone in the fourth

stage of the Innate Realm was strong enough, he could defeat someone in the Major Perfection Realm

of the Innate Realm!

After resting for half a day and eating a lot, his strength slowly recovered to 80%.

It only took him another half a day to fully recover.

In these two nights, Tom saw how wild these people could be. On this cruise, besides the big shots,

there were also many young and beautiful socialites and escorts

Tom saw with his own eyes that many big shots holding two women at the same time and bringing

them into their rooms. Even Marlin was no exception, and Tom felt helpless.

Because of his reputation, there were many young and beautiful women inviting him to dance with

them and wanting to do some others things, but Tom rejected them all.

He was no celibate. He just didn't like this.

The next night, late at night, someone even knocked on his door. When Tom opened the door, he saw

a beautiful, tall woman with charming eyes. She said to Tom, "Mr. Howard, the shower in my room is

broken. Can I take a shower in your room?"
