This man is truly a big shot in Chengfeng City. Compared to Robert Thompson, he, Matthew Scott, is nothing but an ant among ants.

"Dad, kill him, I beg you!" James Thompson became even more agitated, his face flushed as he pleaded. In his heart, his father was omnipotent.

Robert Thompson glanced at James Thompson, then looked at Thomas Reed.

Thomas Reed quickly stepped forward and approached Robert Thompson, whispering something to him.

After a long moment.

Robert Thompson nodded, indicating he understood, then looked in the direction of Henry Carter.

Instantly, James Thompson's blood boiled—his father was finally going to avenge him.

The others in the hall also looked at Henry Carter, all with the same mournful expression.

The next moment.

Robert Thompson walked toward Henry Carter, step by step, not fast, but each step seemed to weigh on everyone's hearts, making it hard to breathe.

Very soon.

Robert Thompson stood in front of Henry Carter.

In the hall, the atmosphere was frozen to the absolute extreme.

"Young Master Su, my son was blind and offended you. Robert Thompson apologizes to you on his behalf!" Silently, under everyone's stunned gaze, Robert Thompson actually... actually... actually bowed deeply.

Robert Thompson apologized!!!

This... how is this possible?

In an instant, it was as if there were no living people left in the hall—not even the sound of a heartbeat or breathing.

Chapter 9: I Am Not Worthy to Know You

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Dad..." After several breaths, James Thompson screamed miserably. He was about to go crazy. How could this happen? His father actually apologized to that bastard?!!! Impossible, absolutely impossible! In all of Chengfeng City, no one is qualified to make his father apologize like this!

"Shut up!" Robert Thompson gave James Thompson a cold glare. "Say one more word, and you're no longer my son!"

Robert Thompson was furious inside—furious at James Thompson.

He had already learned from Thomas Reed that the young man before him was a true martial cultivator, and his strength was far greater than even Thomas Reed.

Robert Thompson didn't even dare to imagine how powerful Henry Carter's background might be.

With a single word, the entire Liu family could be finished, couldn't it?

Moreover, even without considering Henry Carter's background, a martial cultivator far stronger than Old Reed was not someone the Liu family could afford to offend!

Just look at Old Reed—even at his advanced age, as an early-stage Xuanqi martial cultivator, he held a very high status in the Liu family and even all of Chengfeng City.

His own son was truly courting death, offending such a big shot—was he trying to drag the entire Liu family down with him?

Not far away, James Thompson didn't dare say another word, trembling, his heart filled with endless terror.

He wasn't stupid. At this moment, he managed to calm down a little.

Someone even his father didn't dare offend, someone his father had to respect—how terrifying!

He had offended this person—what should he do? What could he do?

"..." On the other side, the long-anticipating Samuel Bennett felt a chill all over, his body and mind about to freeze. Robert Thompson had apologized? Someone even the Liu family couldn't afford to provoke?

It's over!

Completely over!

In fact, not only was he, Samuel Bennett, finished—even the entire Xu family was finished.

Looking at Brian Foster, Eric Foster, David Brooks, and the others, their faces were all pale as they muttered to themselves:

"How could this happen?"

"This... this... what on earth is going on?"

"That country bumpkin actually..."

...

They regretted it to death!!!

Thinking back to how they had mocked and attacked Henry Carter before, now they were scared out of their wits.

Someone even Robert Thompson couldn't afford to offend—how terrifying must his background be? If Henry Carter wanted to, they couldn't even imagine what would happen to them!

"He... he... he actually..." Of course, who was the most shocked of all? It was Emily Bolton. She had mocked Henry Carter the most before, and had even ignored Henry Carter's presence to try to introduce Grace Walker to Samuel Bennett.

"You know him?" Matthew Scott, who was grabbing Emily Bolton's hair, frowned slightly. From Emily Bolton's trembling mutterings, it seemed she knew that young man. For a moment, he was startled inside.

He had to get this clear.

If Emily Bolton really knew that young man, he really didn't dare seek revenge anymore—he could only admit defeat.

Someone even Robert Thompson couldn't afford to provoke—even Matthew Scott knew to be afraid!

"Know him? Of course... of course I know him, he's my best friend's boyfriend!" Emily Bolton was stunned at first, then overjoyed, quickly replying, her voice excited.

Matthew Scott's expression became even more uncertain, and the hand grabbing Emily Bolton's hair almost let go.

However, in the very next second, no one expected Henry Carter to look toward Matthew Scott and Emily Bolton: "Heh... Emily Bolton? Miss Zhang? You know me?"

In an instant.

Everyone in the hall looked at Emily Bolton again—she was once more the center of attention.

"Young Master Su, save me, please, save me!" Emily Bolton, under Henry Carter's cold and playful gaze, suddenly felt as if she had fallen from heaven to hell.

"Young master? I don't deserve to be called that, and besides, I'm not worthy of knowing you!" Henry Carter smiled, a smile as warm as a spring breeze.
