Chapter 169
At that moment, he gave Malcolm a look. Malcolm was a smart man. Of course, he would understand.
He immediately walked out from behind Tom and went to the young man. His face was cold and his
eyes were full of unkindness.
Although Malcolm was getting on in years, he was at least a self-made man. A man who had fought his
way in the street to success would naturally look tough and could certainly frighten some rich young
man.
The young man next to Rory was glared at by Malcolm, and he immediately became timid. His face
showed some timidity, and his eyes drifted. He said harshly, "Malcolm, what do you want?"
Rory also stared at Malcolm with a sullen face. He knew that Malcolm knew Tom, but he couldn't figure
out why someone like Malcolm wanted to make friends with Tom. This was unusual. Could Tom be
Malcolm's illegitimate child or some relative?
Malcolm suddenly grinned at the young man, but it was by no means a smile. Instead, there was
coldness and playfulness in it.
The young man's scalp went numb reflexively and he realized something was wrong. He was about to
speak, but the next moment, Malcolm's palm hit his face with great force. With a loud slap, half of his
face swelled up, and he spun around and fell heavily to the ground.
Malcolm's action startled everyone present. They didn't expect Malcolm to act so domineeringly! Not to
mention that this young man came from a rich family, and his father was also an important figure in the
upper class. Malcolm had undoubtedly offended him in the worst way! Moreover, it was at the
engagement banquet of the Knight and Gablehauser families. Didn't Malcolm offend them by doing so?
Besides, this young man didn't offend Malcolm at all. Why would Malcolm do that?
Only Rory and his group knew the real story: Malcolm was lecturing him for Tom!
For a moment, their focus was on Tom, especially Rory's. His pupils shrank and his eyes flashed with
intense fear and confusion!
But soon, he smiled again and figured it out. So what if Malcolm defended Tom? He paid for Mr. Potter
to come. When Mr. Potter was here, who could save Tom? Malcolm? Nonsense, Malcolm was just a
small character in front of Mr. Potter!
The more he understood this, the more relaxed he felt and even wanted to laugh. The more
complacent and arrogant Tom was now, the harder he fell in a moment, and the happier Rory would be!
"Tom, so that's why you have been so arrogant. It turns out that you have fawned on Malcolm." Rory
smiled strangely and gave Tom a thumbs-up.
How could Tom not know what Rory was thinking? So he just ignored him. "Now that you know, why
don't you get out of here?"
Rory was once again provoked by Tom's arrogance, and the corner of his mouth could not help but
twitch. He was a extremely proud person. Tom taught him a lesson in front of so many people, which
made him lose face. He was really angry. However, for the sake of the overall situation, he held back.
He still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold. "Tom, do you really think you can do
what you want after fawning on Malcolm? Hmph!"
A touch talk had been made and then he stared at Malcolm and said in a threatening tone, "Malcolm, I
really don't know what you like about Tom and why you defend him like this. However, some people
can not be saved. If you exceed your limit, you will be implicated to death!"
When Malcolm heard Rory's threat, his heart beat faster for a second. But immediately, he smiled
disdainfully and said after Tom, "Get lost."
This time, Rory felt more embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and glared at Tom and Malcolm fiercely.
"Okay, you want me to leave, I'll go. However, we'll see!"
After saying this, he left in a huff. It was just that it could be easily seen that he left in shame and
embarrassment. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
At this moment, a lot of people around them looked at Tom with surprise and shock in their eyes. They
asked each other about Tom, and why Malcolm was so determined to protect him and did not hesitate
to offend Rory?
As for why, only Malcolm himself knew. To say the least, the identity of him being the president of the
ZQ Inc was good enough.
But he was also a little curious. Since that Rory was just a conceit rich bastard who continued causing
trouble from time to time. How could he have a grudge with Tom? Didn't he know that Tom was the
chairman of ZQ Inc?
Tom walked to the dining table to get something to eat. He hadn't had dinner yet, and now he was a
little hungry.
Malcolm came over and ate with Tom. He was confused, but he didn't ask too much, because he
understood that poking around might lead to trouble.
After Tom ate something for his stomach, he personally toasted Malcolm and said with a smile, "Thank
you for what you did just now."
Malcolm said hurriedly, "You are being too polite. This is what I should do."
On Rory's side, it was another story.
"Rory, why didn't you teach them a lesson just now? Malcolm was way out of the line!"
"Yes, Rory. Malcolm is just an old wimp. He's half a foot in the coffin. We don't have to be afraid of him."
"And that Tom, he's too arrogant! If it weren't for the engagement banquet of the Knight and
Gablehauser families, he would definitely suffer!"
"From where I stand, Rory, you're being too kind. You're even willing to let him go like that. I can't stand
it if I were you!"
"That's right..."
They, the rich young men, were all chattering and speaking with righteous indignation. One by one,
they scolded fiercely, as if Tom and Malcolm would be killed easily if they just lifted their fingers to do it.
Rory sat down and frowned. There was coldness, hatred, and cruelty between his brows.
After drinking half a glass of wine, he slowly raised his hand. Immediately, those rich young men all
stopped at the same time and looked at him in unison.
Although they also came from a wealthy family, they couldn't compare to Rory in any possible way.
Usually, Rory was the man in charge.
"Don't worry. Let these two guys have a good time first and they would suffer later." As Rory spoke, his
cell phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, his face immediately straightened up. He gave them a look
for silence, then answered the phone. After a brief chat, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Okay,
okay, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, the rich guys gathered around and looked at Rory expectantly.
"Do you know who called me just now?" The corners of Rory's mouth rose slightly, and it was a
meaningful smile.
They shook their heads and Rory especially enjoyed the feeling of being a show-off. Finally, he said,
"It's Mr. Potter."
"Mr. Potter?"
"I'll be damned! It's our underground emperor Mr. Potter of H City!"
"Marvelous, Rory is really awesome. Even Mr. Potter is your connection network."
"You don't have to say that. Don't you see who Rory is? Isn't it normal for him to know Mr. Potter?"
Rory was very pleased to hear the flattery from these rich young men.
