As soon as Tom saw the person's expression, he knew that he had been misunderstood. He threwaway the recruitment flyer, stood up and said with a smile, "Landon, long time no see.”

Tom soon recognized that the person in front of him was an acquaintance named Landon, who wasa few years younger than Tom. Landon was a good-natured young man. He used to sell breakfastdownstairs at Tom's home and got along well with Tom. He had invited Tom to have a few meals.“Landon, didn't you go North already? Why are you back?" After pleasantries, Tom asked curiously.Landon answered, "I'm back. I'm working with Chase now."

Tom saw that Landon wear a designer suit that cost a few thousand dollars. He punched Landon inthe chest and teased, "Landon, you've made a big fortune. I haven't seen you for a few years. Nowyou put on a famous suit.”

Tom was in a good mood when he met his former acquaintances. After resting for a while, he hadrecovered a little. His face was not as pale as before, but he still looked miserable.

Being praised by Tom, Landon scratched his head, laughed and said, "Not a big fortune. I just madesome money a few years ago."

"You're lucky.” Tom was happy for Landon. He thought Landon was a kind young man.

Just then, a dissatisfied voice came from behind, "Hey, Bean Sprout, what are you beeping at there?Hurry up and come over to me."

Bean Sprout was Landon's nickname, because he was as thin as bean sprouts. When Landon heardthis voice, he immediately looked back and said apologetically to Tom, "Tom, Chase called me. I'll goover and talk to him first. Could you wait for me here for a while?"

Tom nodded, then Landon trotted over. He bowed and explained to a young man who was wearinga famous brand of clothing and a gold watch.

That young man looked about twenty-five years old. His face was full of arrogance. He was wearinga famous brand and shaking his BMW keys in his hand to highlight his wealth.

Tom was surprised to see this young man because he recognized that this young man was also anacquaintance.

After a while, the young man looked over and looked at him with an excited smile on his face. Hiseyes lit up as if he had found an interesting prey. The corners of his mouth rose and he walkedtowards Tom.

Landon followed him and introduced, "Chase, this is Tom, Tom. We used to know each other."

The man called “Chase’ said in a strange tone, "I know him, Tom, the son-in-law of the Scotts. Whodidn't know this big shot in the past?"

When Landon heard this, he was a little embarrassed. Afraid that Tom would be angry, he quicklyintroduced to Tom, "Tom, this is Chase, Chase. We used to know each other."

Tom nodded and said faintly, "Yes."

Chase, indeed, was an old acquaintance who came from the same place as Landon. But Tom didn'thave a good impression of Chase. Because he was a born peacock and always looked down onothers. It cannot be denied that Chase was intelligent and very opportunistic. But he tended totransgress morality. Tom had always had a bad impression of him.

Tom's indifferent attitude made Chase a little unhappy. In his opinion, Tom was just a poor son-in-law living in the homes of his wife's parents and he could not compare with a successful person likehim. There was a big class gap between them.

Chase looked up and down at Tom and found that Tom was dressed in ordinary clothes and sweaty,looking miserable. Then Chase said in a playful tone, "Tom, I haven't seen you for so long. Where areyou working? Can you earn five thousand dollars a month?"

As soon as Chase opened his mouth, Tom knew what Chase was going to say. Tom didn't want totalk to such a fool at all. He said directly to Landon, "Landon, since you have something to do, Iwon't disturb you. Let's add friends on WhatsApp. When you're free, we can go out for meals.”Chase's face turned cold. Tom dared to ignore him. How arrogant!

Landon was obviously afraid of Chase. Seeing his face, he immediately panicked, because he wasafraid that Chase would trouble Tom. He immediately winked at Tom to imply him not offend Chase.He quickly acted as a peacemaker in the middle and said with a smile, "No problem. But Tom, howabout having a meal today? Chase has a party to attend later. We can go there together. Not onlycan we go to taste delicious food for free, but we can also get the money.”

Landon was very kind-hearted. He had just seen Tom looking at the dishwasher recruitment.Obviously, Tom had been living a tough life recently. Now Tom had a chance to be Chase'ssubordinate and attend tonight's upper-class party. He could not only eat a lot of delicacies, butalso get money.

To Landon's surprise, Tom was not interested in this so-called upper-class party at all. He shook hishead and said, "No need. I'm tired of delicacies. You can go and eat.”

He was telling the truth. He was tired of delicacies. As long as he wanted, he can taste luxury foodcasually. But From Landon and Chase's perspective, he was pretending to be rich. Landonunderstood Tom. He thought that Tom, as a middle-aged man, did not want to lose face in front ofhis old friends. But Chase seemed to have heard a big joke and burst out laughing. "Hahaha, I didn'thear it wrong, did 1? Are you sure you're tired of all the delicacies? I don't mean to despise you. Idon't think you've ever eaten delicacies in your life."

Tom frowned and glanced at Chase. Chase immediately felt inexplicably scared and couldn't helpbut shiver. He thought that something was wrong with his body and did not think it was Tom thatmade him shiver.

When Landon felt that the atmosphere became awkward, he quickly pulled Chase aside andwhispered. When Chase heard that Tom was in a bad state and was hunting the job as a dishwasher,he was especially happy and felt even more superior. He waved his hand and said, "All right, let's dothis. I'll allow him to come over tonight and be my subordinate. I'll give him 500 dollars as asubsidy.”

Landon was overjoyed and thanked Chase. Then he trotted to Tom and pulled him aside, "Tom,don't argue with Chase. He's always like this. Sometimes he's annoying, but Chase is very nice. Therehappened to be an upper-class party tonight, and Chase was invited to attend. As long as youchange into a suit, you can go together with us. Not only is there delicious food, but also wouldgain two thousand dollars!"

Tom looked deeply at Landon. Just now, he heard what Landon and Chase were talking about. Heknew that Chase only agreed to give him five hundred dollars. Now, Landon said he would get twothousand dollars, which meant the extra one thousand five hundred dollars was from Landon.Looking at Landon’s expectant and caring look, Tom was moved. However, he was really notinterested in this so-called upper-class party, and he didn't want to see Chase anymore.

However, when he was about to refuse Landon, suddenly, he saw Landon's forehead was covered bya faint black gas, which was a design of disaster!

And it seemed that he would have a big disaster.

According to his ability, Tom could see much more than ordinary people, including somemetaphysics that ordinary people could not understand. Now Tom saw that Landon was going tohave a disaster which it was in the near future. If it was someone else, Tom would not care abouthim. However, Landon was a nice young man. He hadn't seen him for many years, and when he sawthat Landon might encounter trouble, Tom was willing to help him. Naturally, he couldn't just standby.

So he smiled and nodded, "Okay."
