Please let us join you
"Lucas, hold off for now!"
Just as Lucas was about to charge at Tom, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke up to stop him.
Then, the middle-aged man turned his gaze back to Tom.
"Kid, I'm giving you one last chance. Submit to me, and I can give you everything you want. Otherwise, you'll have to face the consequences yourself," the middle-aged man said coldly, issuing an ultimatum to Tom.
"Don't try to scare me,I'm not buying what you're selling," Tom replied with a slight smirk, clearly unimpressed.
"Boss Rex, this kid doesn't know what's good for him. Let me take him out!" Lucas said, his face filled with murderous intent.
"Make it clean. I still want to go back for breakfast," the man known as Boss Rex responded indifferently.
He had originally wanted to recruit Tom to his side, to use him for his own purposes, but Tom had repeatedly refused, exhausting his patience. So, he simply let Lucas kill Tom.
This way, he could monopolize all four beauties, including Evelyn, and also kill one to warn the others, establishing his supreme authority and ensuring no one else would dare to oppose him. It was definitely killing two birds with one stone!
"Kid, get ready to face death! Don't worry, I'll make it quick," Lucas said, licking his knife blade, a cruel smile appearing on his face.
"Wait a minute!" Tom suddenly spoke up, stopping Lucas just as he was about to make his move.
"What, scared now? Too late!" Lucas sneered, looking even more arrogant.
He thought Tom was frightened, which only made him more haughty.
"Idiot!" Tom cursed disdainfully, then gestured to Evelyn, who promptly brought over a king cobra with a smelly sock over its head.
"Do you know what snake this is?" Tom asked, pulling off the smelly sock.
"A king cobra?" Boss Rex asked, frowning.
He recognized the snake but was puzzled by Tom's sudden display of a venomous snake.
"You're not completely clueless," Tom said with a slight smile, putting the sock back over the snake's head, then pulling out his own knife.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, my knife and the spears these ladies are holding are all coated with snake venom. It might not kill instantly upon contact, but rest assured, you won't live more than an hour if you're touched by it!"
"If you want to make a move, go ahead, but I guarantee that even in death, I'll take you down with me."
Tom said this with a smile, but his smile was more like that of a demon, chilling to the bone.
Hearing this, Boss Rex's face instantly darkened.
He hadn't expected Tom to play such a card.
"Boss Rex, don't listen to him, let's just kill him!" Daniel, like a lackey, immediately said to Boss Rex.
He was furious that Tom had ruined his plans and was eager to see Tom torn apart.
He didn't want Boss Rex to be intimidated by Tom.
"Shut up!" Boss Rex slapped Daniel across the face.
Daniel winced in pain but dared not speak out, shrinking back instead.
"Kid, even if your knife is poisoned, do you think you can definitely kill me?" Boss Rex said, his expression cold.
"No, no, no, you misunderstand. I mean to take all of you down to hell with me. Try me," Tom replied, smiling.
The venom of the king cobra was fierce,a mere scratch would allow the venom to enter their bloodstream, leaving them with no escape but death.
That's why he was so confident.
Hearing this, Boss Rex's expression grew even darker.
He stared at Tom, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
For a moment, he really wanted to rush forward and chop Tom into pieces.
But ultimately, reason held him back from acting rashly.
He was well aware of how deadly the king cobra's venom was, and he couldn't risk his life on a maybe.
"Kid, I'll remember this. You better hope you never fall into my hands, or I have a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead!" Boss Rex threatened Tom with a hateful look.
He definitely couldn't make a move against Tom today, but there would be other days, and he would make sure Tom regretted this.
"Heh, you better hope you don't fall into my hands either, or I'll make sure to throw you into the sea to feed the fish," Tom replied coldly.
There was clearly no room for reconciliation between him and Boss Rex, so there was no need for pleasantries.
"Let's go!"
Boss Rex didn't want to waste any more time here and turned to leave with his men.
"Wait a second."
Just then, two women and a man suddenly ran out from behind the crowd.
The man looked ordinary, and the two women's faces were dirty, as if they hadn't washed in days, but it was still possible to tell that the girls were probably twins.
"Sir, please let us join you," one of the girls pleaded with Tom.
"??"
Tom was momentarily confused.
Because he had initially thought these people were under Boss Rex's command, but now someone was asking to join him, which caught him off guard.
"Ava, Mia, what are you doing!" Boss Rex turned around and shouted angrily, not expecting a betrayal at this moment.
Feeling Boss Rex's anger, the two girls became even more panicked.
"Sir, please let us join you, or we're as good as dead," the first girl pleaded again, her voice quivering with a hint of crying.
"Tom, they seem pretty pitiful, let's let them join us," Evelyn suggested.
"More hands make light work, let them come with us," Olivia also spoke up.
"What do you two think?" Tom didn't make the decision alone but sought the opinions of Sophia and Isabella.
"I agree to let them join us."
"I have no objections."
Both Sophia and Isabella agreed.
"Alright, come on over."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Tom naturally wouldn't object.
Hearing Tom's agreement, the two girls and the man immediately ran excitedly to Tom's side.
"Mia, Ava, I'm giving you three minutes to come back to me, or I'll skin you alive!" Boss Rex pointed at the two girls with a cold expression.
But before the girls could respond, Tom had already stepped in front of them.
"Stop with the empty threats. If you dare to make a move, I'm ready to go down fighting," Tom said calmly, yet his tone carried an air of authority.
"You..." Boss Rex was so angered by Tom's words that his face turned livid, his nails digging into his flesh, his eyes nearly spitting fire.
