Makai immediately said in surprise, "Brother, really? Do you know Tom? I see that he is dressed incheap clothes. He has nothing extraordinary. Could it be possible that you know the wrong person?"Colton frowned slightly and tried to remember from whom he had heard the name. But afterthinking for a while, he didn't remember it. He then shook his head, "I forgot. Maybe I heard itsomewhere."

Makai said with a smile, "I told you. How could a small potato like him impress you?"

Seeing Makai like this, Colton asked curiously, "Makai, is this Tom really that bad? I don't thinkyou've ever been so angry with a young man.”

"Humph!" When Makai said this, he was full of anger. He rolled up his sleeves and put on a posture,"That's more than just being bad. Tom simply does not know to show respect and or obey laws, andhas no self-awareness! What's more, he has attacked a few of my bodyguards in the beginningLater, even after he found out that I was Kaylie's uncle, he still showed no respect for me andoffended me in all kinds of manners! Hey, you weren't there at that time, otherwise, you would havebeen irritated on the spot! I don't know how Kaylie gets interested in such a punk and refused tomarry Martin!"

Makai kept talking and spoke ill of Tom for three minutes. He also complained that Kaylie didn'tknow how to pick the right person, giving up marrying a good young man like Martin. Instead,Kaylie got attracted by an uneducated, unintelligent gangster and scum. To make matters worse,Kaylie's involvement with such a person would tarnish the reputation of the Knights and would belaughed by outsiders.

After Makai's complaint, Colton had to take it seriously, who then said, "If it's really like what yousaid, I should be cautious.”

Makai was very anxious, "Brother, what's there to be careful about? Bring Kaylie back immediatelyand teach her a good lesson! You know, in three days, there will be an engagement party. Everyonein the circle knows the news. If it doesn't work out by then, how will our the Knights maintain thereputation?”

Colton did not answer immediately. He remained silent for a while, then he nodded gently and said,"Yes, I see. I will deal with it. It's getting late. You should go back and rest first."

"Okay."

After Makai left, Colton said to the woman beside him, "Madam, what do you think about this?"The woman said, "From what I know about Kaylie, she knows the difference between right andwrong. She probably won't associate with gangsters. Besides, Makai is not calm enough today, andhe was emotional. We can't just judge things based on his words."

"You are right.” Colton smiled and flattered the woman. At the same time, Colton began to caressher body. The woman immediately slapped him away and said shyly, "Keep your hands clean. Wehave been married for a long time. Why are you still so naughty?"

"That's exactly why I do not have to be polite.” Colton laughed, who looked like a libertine.Outsiders would be quite surprised seeing this, as no one would have thought that Colton, who wasso serious in the circle, would have such a frivolous manner.

After the teasing and flirting between the two, Colton withdrew his frivolity and said seriously, "Myidea is to see this Tom in person first, see where he came from, and then make plans.”

"The engagement party is in three days. Are we still in time?"

Colton's eyes flashed brightly and he said in a meaningful manner, "It's in time."

As for Tom and Kaylie, they went back to the hotel after supper.

Tom and Kaylie talked a lot along the way. Of course, it was mainly Kaylie who was talking, and Tomwas listening. Kaylie mainly talked about her childhood experiences, her worries, thoughts, andfeelings. She had this inexplicable desire to tell Tom almost everything about herself.

"By the way, I told you all my stories. What about you? What's your story?" Kaylie finally asked,looking at Tom.

"My story?” Tom was stunned for a moment. Then, some feelings flashed in his eyes, and he shookhis head and smiled, "I don't have any stories to tell. My life is very ordinary, very ordinary.”

"You are lying." Kaylie immediately pouted and said unhappily, "According to a woman's intuition,you must have a wonderful story."

"Haha." Tom laughed, "You think too much. I really don't have a story.”

Seeing that Kaylie was about to continue speaking, Tom interrupted her and said, "Okay, it is yourhotel. You can go in."

Kaylie felt sad to leave, and said, "What about you? You're divorced now. Where are you going tolive?"

"I have plenty of places to live.” Tom smiled. He then stopped a taxi by the roadside and left.

Kaylie looked in the direction of his departure, clenched her fists, shook her nose, and said withfighting spirit, “It's okay if you don't tell me. One day, I'll replace out your story.”

The Night of 1998 was a relatively small bar. When Tom came in, there were not more than tenpeople in it, and it appeared to be quite quiet. There were no sexy dancers dancing on the stage,only a middle-aged man singing sad folk songs.

The bar had been losing money for a long time, and it was obvious that it would not be long beforeit was shut down.

However, this bar had been in operation for seven or eight years, losing several million dollars everyyear. But it didn't get shut down.

Common guests would not come to this bar to spend money at all. Because the bar was too boring,no passion to be aroused at all, and the decoration and setting were extremely old.

The most ridiculous thing was that as a bar, it did not have waiters. If a guest wanted to drink, hehad to go to the bar counter to buy it himself or herself. It was a service-oriented society now, sowho would be willing to visit the bar with this kind of business model?

When Tom came in, the people in the bar obviously paused. Even the singer who was singing folksongs was out of tune, and his pupils contracted, casting a look of shock and awe at Tom!

This pause lasted for two seconds, then returned to normal. Everyone began to resume the normalstatus, as if the previous pause had not occurred, and was just a hallucination!

The corners of Tom's mouth rose slightly, and complicated feelings showed in his eyes. It had beena long time since he came back to this bar.

Now that he came back... he found nothing changed. It was the same as before, with the samesmell.

He walked straightway to the bar counter, sat down, and said, "Give me the blue phantom.”

On the other side of the bar counter, there was a man in his thirties who was blending wine. He didnot wear a suit like other blenders working in bars. Instead, he wore a vest, with a cigarette in thecorner of his mouth, and his face was full of stubble. The most outrageous thing was that he wasstill wearing a pair of flip-flops. He seemed to have been through a lot, his hair was messy and helooked like he had not woken up from his sleep. People would even buy it that he was a butcher ofswine. A blender with this kind of image was too incompatible with the bar.

He looked at Tom with a glint in his eyes and said, "Are you sure?"

Tom nodded and said, "Do it."

"Okay." The man with stubble didn't talk any more nonsense. His movements were quick and neat.Then, his hands waived around, and the wine glass in his hands seemed to have been endowed witha soul, dancing around, Though the hand movements were very intense and fast, no wine drippedout.

Not to mention anything else, just this kind of blending skill was enough to beat down all theblenders on the market.

Finally, it took ten minutes to make a glass of “blue phantom’, with smoke rising. Finally, the manwith stubble lit a fire on the surface of the wine, which instantly burned. Tom took the burning wineand drank it in one gulp.

Then, he smiled at the man with stubble and said, "I haven't seen you for so long. Your skills are stillso good."

The man with stubble showed him a gentleman's salute and said, "It's my honor to serve you,master.”

Tom smiled faintly, and then he walked to the sofa next to him. He rolled his eyes and suddenly felldown on the sofa as if he had lost his strength. He then immediately snored. He actually fell asleep.And there were two drops of tears in his eyes.
