Chapter 559


    Not long after, Thorn came back from the Fourth Group and didn''t look well.


    Pence immediately had a bad feeling and quickly asked, "How''s it going? Have you contacted Tom?"


    Thorn sighed and said, "No."


    "What?" Pence said with a frown, "As an instructor of the Military Intelligence 3, and at this critical


    juncture when the Colorful Fruit of Essence is about to produce, how can he go missing?!"


    He spoke with a little anger. One who worked for the Military Intelligence 3 would be considered as the


    servant of the country, no longer an ordinary citizen who could fool around. The phone must be kept on


    all the time.


    Thorn said, "Actually, Tom''s phone was turned off a week ago."


    Pence frowned even more. "This Colorful Fruit of Essence is about to mature. This is the top priority.


    Tom is missing at this time. Is he trying to disobey our order?"


    The word "disobedience" was overwhelming for an organization like the Military Intelligence 3. It would


    take to court!


    Since Tom was recruited by him, Thorn quickly exined, "I''ve known Tom for a long time. He definitely


    won''t disobey orders! I think he might be in seclusion, right?"


    "In seclusion?" When Pence heard this, his face looked much better. Obviously, he thought so too.


    After a while, Pence said, "Keep trying to contact Tom and tell him about Redford''s revenge, so that he

    can be on his guard. Redford is petty and a man of great cultivation. Tom killed Redford''s brother-in-


    Thorn nodded, and there was gloominess on his face. There was no other way. Redford was too


    strong, and he had too many senior disciples. Tom was not a match for Redford.


    He sighed heavily and said, "Tom, why did he kill Redford''s brother-inw? This grudge is not easy to


    make even!"


    Pence''s face also shed across some sadness. It was not easy for the Military Intelligence 3 to recruit


    such a genius, and there was hope that he could bring the Military Intelligence 3 to rebuild its glory. In


    the end, it was not long before he provoked Redford.


    In his opinion, Tom was still too reckless. Even though he had reached the fourth stage of the Innate


    Realm, he was a young man in essence, impulsive and aggressive, and did not consider the


    consequences.


    As for Redford, after he left the Military Intelligence 3, his face had been grim.


    Next to him, a master of the second stage of the Innate Realm said, "Instructor, we just let Tom go that


    easily?"


    Redford stopped and suddenly punched down a banyan tree more than half a meter in diameter. He


    snorted heavily, "Let him go? That''s not gonna happen! He killed Beckett and must pay for that."


    The expert said, "Just now, Pence''s attitude was clear. He was determined to protect this Tom. If he


    had been hiding in the Military Intelligence 3, it would be difficult to make a move."


    Redford''s big eyes rolled a few times and said coldly, "He can''t hide that long. In another week, the


    Colorful Fruit of Essence will be mature. When the timees, he will definitely participate. I have


    plenty of ways to deal with him!"


    Thinking of this, Redford felt his ideas more and more feasible. A cruel smile appeared on his face.


    "Hmph, Pence, do you think you can protect this Tom on your own? At that time, I will personally kill


    this son of bitch in front of you and avenge my brother-inw!"


    His heart ached at the mention of his brother-inw.


    Although Beckett was his brother-inw, he had been with him for many years and had a good


    rtionship, which was simr to his own brother. Now that Beckett was killed and his wife was crying


    all day, how could he let Tom go? Even if Tom was the new instructor of the Military Intelligence 3, he


    would kill Tom. This was non-negotiable!


    Although the Military Intelligence 3 and the Military Intelligence 2 were nominally equal, in fact, the


    strength was too weak to be on the same level as the Military Intelligence 2, so Redford didn''t have to


    save Pence''s face at all.


    A week passed in a blink of an eye.


    During this week, Tom never showed up. It was as if he had disappeared from the world. His phone


    had been turned off and he could not be reached at all.


    ording to the schedule, there was only one day left before the Colorful Fruit of Essence matured.


    The Military Intelligence 3 was in a hurry.


    Besides the Military Intelligence 3, Elliot was also in a hurry.


    In fact, he had been very uneasy for the past half month. The task that Tom had given him was too


    important. He put down most of his work because he was afraid of dying Tom''s instructions.


    Later, he found out that Tom was in seclusion and didn''t bring anything with him. He had a hard time


    every day. Several times, he almost couldn''t help but open the door for Tom in advance!


    In his opinion, a normal person would not be able to hold on for two days without food or water, let


    alone eleven days!


    Moreover, it was an absolutely enclosed space, which meant that the air inside was limited, and after


    Tom had been in seclusion for so long, Elliot was really afraid that Tom would die there.


    He wanted to open the door earlier to check how Tom was doing. Was he still alive?


    If Tom was really dead, then he would be doomed too, because all his connections and power today


    came from Tom. If he died, not only Elliot''s career would be ruined, but his life was in danger for he had


    so many enemies.


    Because of the expansion of thepany during this period of time, he offended numerous people, but


    because he had Tom''s strong backing, those enemies did not dare to make it difficult for him.


    It was no exaggeration to say that his fate was already tied to Tom''s!


    "Elliot? What''s wrong with you? You look so pale and sweaty. Have you been messing around these


    days and your body couldn''t hold on?"


    Malcolm walked over and saw Elliot''s pale face and restless expression. He patted Elliot on the


    shoulder with a smile and said jokingly, but unexpectedly, his pat directly knocked Elliot to the ground


    and startled him.


    "Elliot? Are you okay?!" Malcolm immediately helped Elliot up.


    Elliot was nervous. He kept looking at the clock on the wall, pinching the time to open the door for Tom


    on time. He was almost scared out of his wits by Malcolm''s pat. He trembled all over and saw it was


    Malcolm. He cursed, "Malcolm, you''re scaring me to death!"


    When Malcolm saw him like this, he immediately realized something was wrong and asked in a low


    voice, "What happened?"


    Elliot swallowed and said, "Mr. Howard..."


    Malcolm screamed. "What? Mr. Howard? Did something happen to him?!"


    "No, shut up! Who told you that something happened to Mr. Howard?! It''s like this..." Elliot looked at the


    appointed time Tom set. There was less than an hour left. He told Malcolm about it.


    After Malcolm heard this, his face was full of shock. He said suddenly, "Damn! Eleven days! Mr.


    Howard is out of his mind, but you dared to hear him! Open the door for him quickly. If something


    happens, we will be dead!"


    Elliot shivered and ran over to open the door for Tom...
