Chapter 1004
Outside the door, Tom kept staring at his watch, estimating in his mind how much time had passed
since Xander left.
Leaning against the wall beside him, Toby suddenly opened his eyes, asking, "How long has it been?"
Tom lowered his wrist and replied, "Three minutes."
Toby''s eyes narrowed. "Kick the door open!" How could it take that assistant three full minutes just to
notify his boss? Obviously, they didn''t give a damn about him. Since that was the case, he didn''t have
to y nice with them anymore. He would just force his way in.
Tom had been waiting for Toby to say this, so he immediately replied with a smile, "Alright, President
Fuller. I''ll get it done right away." As soon as he finished his sentence, he stepped back and lifted his
foot to kick the door.
However, the instant he kicked out his leg, the door suddenly opened with Xander emerging behind it.
As he didn''t manage to pull back his leg in time, Xander was immediately sent flying by the kick before
landing on the steps leading to the hallway at the back.
Consequently, Xander curled himself into a ball while letting out cries of pain.
No one expected this to happen.
At this moment, Tom still had his foot raised in midair in a kicking posture. He looked at the open door,
then Xander, who was clutching his stomach in pain and rolling on the floor across from him with sweat
all over his face. "Uh... Will you believe me if I say I didn''t mean it?" He slowly lowered his leg as his
lips twitched.
When Xander heard this, he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Struggling to open his eyes, he stared
at Tom with bloodshot eyes as if to say something. However, thanks to the acute pain in his stomach,
he could hardly even breathe, let alone speak. As a result, he could only curl up on the floor while
clutching his stomach with both hands. Enduring the sharp pain, he red hard at Tom, as if wanting to
skin thetter alive.
Feeling somewhat guilty under his stare, Tom touched the tip of his nose. "Um, sorry, Mr. Little, but I
really didn''t mean it. I''d like to apologize to you, and I''m sorry for what happened. Please don''t take it to
heart. I''ll be more careful to not hurt you again by mistake next time, really," he apologized with an
earnest look, but he didn''t sound apologetic at all.
Even his face showed no guilt or remorse for having injured Xander by mistake. Instead, all it showed
was clear, unconcealed joy.
That was right: not only did Tom not feel sorry for what he had done, he even felt smug about it. He
also didn''t expect to end up sending Connor''sckey flying with a kick when all he wanted was to kick
the door open. What does this mean? This means that even God can''t stand the sight of Connor and
hisckey, so He purposefully created the opportunity for me to hit thetter. Otherwise, why would he
come to the door just when I was about to kick it open? That''s the work of fate!
At the thought of this, he almost grinned from ear to ear.
How could Xander not know what Tom was thinking when he saw thetter like this? "Pffft!" He spat out
a mouthful of blood for real. "Y-You..." He pulled his hand away from his stomach, then raised it
tremblingly to point at Tom as if to use thetter.
However, he was in so much pain that he didn''t have the strength to say aplete sentence. The
hard kick he had sustained just now made him feel almost like being hit by a truck. In short, now he felt
like his insides had been crushed from the impact, and he nearly passed out from the resulting pain. He
felt wretched enough to begin with, but little did he realize that this b*stard would lie through his teeth.
His insides twinged with anger. This *sshole says he''s sorry, but he doesn''t sound sorry to me at all.
The most ridiculous thing is that he says he''ll be careful next time. Damn it! He''s thinking of doing that
again next time!
Seeing how Xander spat out blood and appeared to be dying, Tom opened his mouth and was stunned.
"President Fuller... Could I have hurt him badly?"
Toby had been silently watching the scene all this while. At this moment, he finally raised his eyes and
said, "Who cares? Just deal with it." With that, he directly strode in through the door before walking
toward Xander.
Xander was still lying on the floor when he sensed a shadow looming over him. He looked up to see
the man walking toward him. Tall and expressionless, the man had a powerful and domineering
presence that was impossible to ignore.
Xander stared at Toby in a daze. It wasn''t like he didn''t know what Toby looked like, but he had never
seen this guy with his own eyes. He had only seen Toby in photos and documents. He knew that those
in power usually had amanding presence. Even so, he never expected that the presence projected
by the man before him was so oppressive that he felt like being grabbed by the throat when all the man
did was lower his eyes and dart a look at him. He dared not even breathe, nor did he have the courage
to meet the man''s eyes.
Flustered, he hastily lowered his head to avoid making eye contact with Toby. Only by doing so was he
able to breathe and feel that he was still alive. It was unlike just now, when he felt his blood freeze as
though he was going to die.
This guy really isn''t easy to deal with! he thought to himself, his heart pounding heavily as his body
trembled even more violently. He used to think that his boss was the most intimidating and formidable
person on earth who struck terror into the hearts of whoever that met him. However, he was wrong.
The man before him was the most intimidating and terrifying person he had met so far. He was at least
able to look Connor in the eye sometimes, but he didn''t even have the courage to meet the eyes of the
man before him. It wasughable that he had thought that if he were to meet this man formally, he
would take a good look at thetter to see if he was really as intimidating as he was rumored to be.
It was true that there were rumors circting in the outside world about how Toby was a demon king
and how scary he was, but he had never believed them. Not only that; he even scoffed at these
rumors, thinking that they were false exaggerations. However, he now finally realized that these rumors
were no exaggerations. They were true, and he was the one with tunnel vision.
On the other hand, Toby didn''t know what Xander was thinking. He merely lowered his eyes and darted
a look at thetter, whom he viewed as nothing but a piece of trash, before withdrawing his gaze and
lifting his foot to step over the man.
Imitating his boss, Tom stepped over Xander as well.

Xander felt humiliated when Toby stepped over him, but the difference between them was so huge that
he was still able to tell himself to calm down and pretend to know nothing. However, when Tom stepped
over him, he gnashed his teeth in hatred and wished he could tear Tom to pieces right away.
Naturally, Tom sensed the murderous gaze behind him, so he looked back and happened to see
Xander''s eyes bulging with anger. Instead of being frightened, he raised his chin with a provoking smile
and gave thetter a taunting thumbs down.
At the sight of this, Xander could no longer restrain himself. Everything went ck before his eyes, and
he fainted.
Tom raised his eyebrows in surprise upon seeing this. The next instant, he quickly curled his lips and
turned his head back indifferently, with no intention of calling a doctor for the unconscious Xander. To
him, Xander was just ackey of Connor, so it didn''t matter to him that he fainted. Moreover, he passed
out from anger just like that, so he definitely wasn''t capable of anything. He can''t even endure this little
bit of hardship? What an unpresentable good-for-nothing! To think that he''d pass out just like that.
