To be honest, Tom was rather surprised to see Amelia like this.
He did not expect that under such circumstances, Amelia would make a request to accompany him for the last night.
Did Amelia fall in love with him?
Impossible. Amelia must have seen various handsome men. How could she like him? Besides, she had been in the circle for so long and had seen too much hypocrisy. Amelia would not fall in love casually.
However, no matter what, Tom was quite moved. He could see that Amelia was not acting, but revealing her true heart.
Mr. Murphy immediately pulled his face down and glared at Amelia fiercely, blaming Amelia for being ignorant and laying a potential danger for the Cloud&Sky Pavilion.
"Talk to Mr. Howard for a few more minutes and then come with me. This hunting competition is very important. There's a lot of work ahead of you." Mr. Murphy scolded.
Amelia bit her lip. She was obedient to the his words. She looked at Tom again, slightly moving her lips. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just went up and gave Tom a hug. After five seconds, she let go of Tom and left with Mr. Murphy and the others.
Mr. Murphy took two steps, turned around and sighed at Tom, "Young man, you shouldn't be against Peter. What a pity!"
Tom smiled and didn't say anything.
When Mr. Murphy saw him like this, he did not speak anymore. He shook his head and strode away. In his eyes, Tom would definitely be killed.
It was rare for a man less than 30 years old to reach the Innate Realm. It was possible for him to reach the peak of the Innate Realm as long as he was given enough time, such as ten years or even twenty years.
He might even strive to the Immortal Realm.
Now that he was nothing left and Tom had offended Peter, he could not live on. Everything was in vain.
There was a saying that no matter how talented a genius was, once he died, he would not be a genius.
This was the thought as they looked at Tom.
Some felt sorry for Tom, and some gloated. Different people had different emotions.
Tom only smiled indifferently. He had been misunderstood so much that the current situation did not stir up any waves in his heart.
Then he walked straight to the hotel. Without showing his ID card, he was qualified to check in just through a face scan.
Amelia was right, because there were a lot of participants, and there was only one hotel, so there were not many rooms. It was necessary two or three people lived in one room.
According to the distribution, Tom needed to live with another two men, but when they heard that it was him, they immediately panicked and applied for a room change with the hotel and refused to live with Tom. It was as if Tom was the god of plague, and whoever approached him would die.
The hotel had no choice but to arrange for another person to share a room with Tom, but in the end, everyone who was drawn did not want to stay with Tom.
"Oh, Mr. Howard, I'm so sorry. I have the habit of sleepwalking, so I won't live with you in case I disturb you."
"Mr. Howard, I often snore loudly. You can't stand me, so I won't disturb Mr. Howard."
"I have athlete's foot..."
"I have an infectious disease..."
They kept their distance from Tom as if avoiding the plague. In the end, the hotel had no choice but to arrange for Tom to sleep in a room by himself. They had never met this before.
Tom, on the other hand, was happy. He was not used to living with other people, and now this situation was exactly what he wanted.
At night.
Deep in the forest, there were endless trees.
It was not peaceful at all. There were noises everywhere, which made the forest very lively.
Up to now, at least 500 people had come to participate in the hunting competition, plus the staff to maintain order, the total number of people was more than a thousand.
After taking a shower, Tom came down to the banquet hall for dinner, and the scene was especially bustling.
Tom looked over and saw many masters in the Master Realm, as well as many of Extrinsic Peak.
But there were only a few people in the Innate Realm, and Peter was one of them.
"That's right. Everyone knows that Tom is going to lose. The extra income of 7.3 times is still useless."
"Tom is 100 % dead."
Many of the remaining people were cursing, thinking that the odds decided by these three bookmakers were too unscientific.
Another banker said, "You don't have to scold here. Since you all think that Tom will lose, then buy Peter. You can still get interests. But it's agreed that a person can only receive 100 million dollars at the most."
The third banker smiled and said, "However, we are all old friends. If you buy Tom to win, there is no limit. You can even buy Tom for a billion dollars."
"One billion, you can make 7.3 billion!"
Many people were moved to hear this amount, but they calmed down and thought about it. Tom couldn't win at all. No matter how much they bought, their money would finally all go to three dealers' pockets.
So they all bet on Peter. There were ten million, twenty million, and a hundred million at the highest.
No accident. No one was willing to buy Tom to win.
This made the three bookmakers frown. They were most afraid to push all of them aside, so that when Peter really won, they would lose all their money.
"Hey, why you all buy Peter? You don't believe Tom? I heard that Tom is already in the Innate Realm. Maybe Tom can kill Peter."
The banker's words immediately provoked a disdainful rebuttal from others. "Tom would kill Peter? Do you think it's possible?"
"Yeah, you think we're stupid."
"Even if the odds are 1 to 1.13, you will lose a lot this time. Haha."
The banker was a little flustered. If he had known this, he should have set the odds lower!
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind the crowd. "I'll give you two billion dollars to bet Tom would win."
When everyone heard the voice, they were all startled and looked back. Seeing Tom standing at the door and smiling at them, they felt awkward.
