Chapter 531
"Tom? Who?" Nikolai immediately asked in confusion. The others did not react for a moment. In the
Military Intelligence 3, the highest cultivators were Marlin and Silas, and the mission was so important
and difficult that only they could carry it out.
Even Thorn did not react for a moment.
Marlin continued, "Of course, Instructor Tom of the Fourth Group?"
Nikolai said, "Marlin, don't make jokes. This mission is very important. We can't allow any mistakes.
Tom is just a new instructor. He's not so capable."
The other senior management also echoed in agreement, and they were worried that a task at this
level would be handed over to a newcomer.
However, Marlin insisted, "You underestimated Tom. I think it won't be a problem if he carries out the
mission. He's better than me."
They all stared straight at Marlin, trying to see if he was joking, but they didn't expect Marlin to be so
serious. Nikolai said uncertainly, "Marlin, are you sure you're not joking?"
Marlin said with a bitter smile, "Do you think I'm joking? Tom is the most suitable one for the mission. It
just so happens that he's new here. He hasn't been on a mission before and hasn't contributed much to
the Military Intelligence 3. This time, he's the only person for the mission."
Hearing Marlin's words, they were deep in thought. Working with Marlin for many years, they could tell
that he was not joking. This was enough to surprise them and they found it hard to believe.
After a while, Thorn said directly, "Marlin, have you fought with Tom?"
Everyone else's eyes fell on Marlin at once. These days, rumors about Tom were spreading. Many
people were saying that Marlin was defeat by Tom, which was why he was so afraid of Tom.
However, Tom and Marlin didn't admit it. So people were suspicious.
Marlin sighed in his heart, knowing that this matter could not be avoided. Now that Thorn asked, he
nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Tom and I have already fought."
Thorn asked again, "What's the outcome?"
Marlin smiled bitterly and said, "You've all guessed it. Why do you need to ask?"
What he said was an indirect admission that Marlin was defeated by Tom, which was still very shocking
to them.
After a while, a senior asked, "How is Tom's strength?"
Marlin took a deep breath and said seriously and fearfully, "Unfathomable!"
They were still shocked to hear such a valuation, especially after they heard Marlin's instructions, they
were dumbfounded, unable to believe that Tom was able to defeat Marlin on the sea and he had the
energy to hunt the sharks, unscathed... This was terrifying!
Thorn exclaimed in astonishment, "Has Tom reached the Innate Realm, Major Perfection Realm?"
Marlin shook his head and said, "I don't think so, but he's at least in the fourth stage of the Innate
Realm. The point is, Tom is only 28 years old, and his prospect is beyond measure."
Then, Marlin looked deeply at Thorn and said, "Thorn, you have done a great job for Military
Intelligence 3 this time. You found such a top player. I think that with Tom leading the team in this year's
competition, the results will be ideal."
Soon, their eyes lit up. Military Competition was also a top priority for them. Military Intelligence 3 had
been at the bottom all these years, and their reputation had been poor. They were excited at the
thought of standing out in the competition!
After that, they discussed for a while and decided to leave the mission to Tom.
When Tom heard the news, he was very surprised. "It's not appropriate for me to carry out such an
important task, is it?" he asked.
Thorn patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "On the contrary, you're the only person for the
mission. With great power comes great responsibility. Tom, don't refuse."
"Well..." Tom smiled bitterly. Thorn's decision really messed up his plan. He had been teaching at the
Military Intelligence 3 for a week and going on the mission would certainly occupy most of his time so
that he had less time to go home.
However, Thorn had already said so, and it was not appropriate for him to refuse. Moreover, he had
been in the Military Intelligence 3 for almost two months and had not been on a mission, which was not
reasonable.
After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, since the organization has such an
arrangement, then I won't refuse."
Thorn was overjoyed and said, "Hahaha, okay, Tom, I knew you were very righteous and would not
refuse. I believe you'll do a good job. With your strength, you will definitely be able to win honour and
glory for Military Intelligence 3. Show those foreigners that there are top experts in H Country."
Tom said with a smile, "Then please tell me the details of this mission, Director Sunn."
"No problem." Thorn was very happy. It seemed that with Tom's participation, he could definitely
complete the task.
When Tom had a clear understanding of it, he frowned slightly. He did not expect that this task was so
urgent that he had to leave to pick up Melissa at the airport tonight.
And the task last for more then half a month, so he would leave Phoebe for almost a month.
Thorn saw him frown and asked quickly, "How is it? Is there a problem?"
Tom thought for a moment and shook his head. "No problem," he said. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"That's good." Thorn then began to order. This mission was important. In addition to Tom, he sent two
other people over as a support for Tom. One was the top of the Scout Team, and the other was the top
of the Dragon Blood Team.
Tom had no problem with this. Anyway, he was mainly responsible for Melissa's safety, and the other
things to deal with were left to these two elites.
"Tom!"
"Tom!"
After receiving the order, the two elites of the Scout Team and the Dragon Blood Team immediately
rushed over to report to Tom. Both of them were strong. They already had half a step of the Innate
Realm.
Tom nodded faintly and said, "Let's go."
They did not dare to show any disrespect to Tom. They were actually Tom's assistants. After all, if the
real assassins of the Innate Realm appeared, they would not be able to help.
Because Melissa's plane arrived at 11: 00 pm, Tom and the others arrived at the airport an hour early,
only to find that Melissa had arrived and was waiting at the airport with a displeased look.
