Tom cat breaking through the dimensional wall

Chapter 20 The Godfather Tom
Missiana, San Antis.

Tom and his party disembarked from the southern port, and under the guidance of a local partner, they boarded a Ford Model T.

The old-fashioned car launched in 1908, the ride experience is definitely not as comfortable as the car of the future 21st century.

But for people like Tanjiro who have never been in a car, the sudden change from the era of horse-drawn carriages to internal combustion engine cars is beyond Tom's comprehension of the shock.

"I bought this car not long ago, and it only cost more than 700 US dollars. When it first came out, it was only sold for 825 US dollars. Other cars are too expensive, and Ford is better."

The strong white man who came to pick them up was named James, and he owned five factories, which was considered a small business.

After receiving funding from the Ubuyashiki family two years ago, the development has been much smoother.

It is precisely because of this that James is more concerned about the arrival of Tom and the others this time.

Holding the steering wheel in his hand, James was driving the car while chatting with Yoshiyuki Tomioka with a smile, hoping to establish a good relationship with them.

Tanjiro and the others are obviously still children, and they still look like they have never seen the world.

Sitting in the co-pilot, holding the cat in his arms, Tomioka Yoshiyuki, who looked very mature and stable, was expressionless, and he was obviously the head of their business.

If James wants to talk, he can only find Giyu Tomioka.

"Mr. Tom, I heard about you in Mr. Miyashiki's letter. He said that you are a very special person. When I saw you today, you are really extraordinary."

James communicated with Giyu Tomioka in very proficient Japanese.

Hearing the words, Yoshioka Tomioka dragged Tom from his lap, placed it directly between James and himself, and said calmly, "It's Tom."

"Eh?!"

James was taken aback when he heard this.

Holding the steering wheel in his hand, the blue and white British shorthair cat that glanced at the co-pilot out of the corner of its eye was suddenly caught off guard.

"Great men are not born great, but grow great, my friend."

Tom didn't know when he changed into a suit, with his eyes half-closed, with a smoldering cigar in his hand, he spoke English with a Sicilian accent to James who was driving.

"I buy it!"

A cat spoke suddenly, scaring James half to death. Like a stress reaction, he slammed on the brakes and slammed the steering wheel with both hands!

The Ford Model T car under him suddenly seemed to lose control, and the wheels made a violent friction sound against the ground!
The car body shook wildly on the road, and the vehicles and passers-by in the front, rear, left, and left hurriedly avoided it.

All of a sudden, the whole street was full of harsh horns and all kinds of crazy shouting!
"Calm down, James, women and children can be carefree, men can't. You need to stabilize your mentality."

Tom's deep and slightly hoarse voice calmed James down.

Finally, the Ford gradually stabilized and drove smoothly on the road again.

"Tang, Tang, Mr. Tom."

James still looked nervous and trembled when he spoke.

"Just call me Tom, this is my English name, James, what's your name?"

Tom Mu sat on Tomioka Yoshiyuki's lap, imitating his godfather's expression, and asked questions in an unhurried tone.

"Mark, my name is Mark James. Nice to meet you, Mr. Tom."

James sat upright, driving the car without squinting.

Tom in this state gives people the feeling of a calm boss.

Although it was only the first time they met, Tom was even a cat, but James felt that Tom was his godfather, and he had to be treated with the utmost respect.

"Very well, Mr. James, are you less nervous now?"

Tom Mu lowered his eyes halfway, raised his lower lip slightly, and took a sip of the cigar in his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Tom, thank you very much for your help, I feel a lot more relaxed now."

James bowed his head slightly to show his respect for Tom.

In the back seat of the Ford car, my wife Shanyi couldn't help complaining about Tom who was putting on a face.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Tom, it's not like this at all, is it? Although I can't understand what they're saying, I always feel that it's pretending. It's strange that Tom like this is usually so lazy."

My wife Zenitsu leaned close to Tanjirou's ear and whispered.

"No, Master Tom has always been so proud."

Tanjiro didn't think too much about it. Looking at Tom as a godfather, his eyes are full of adoring little stars, and he feels that Tom is very cool!
Now Tanjiro just stares at Tom, and his answer to my wife Zenitsu is a bit perfunctory.

Not long after, Tom and the others arrived at their destination.

It can be seen that this is a factory area.

A large number of chimneys spewed smoke upwards.

Even though it was broad daylight, the sun could not be seen at all.

The weather was gloomy too.

At the gate of James' factory, several managers were already waiting there.

Seeing the boss's car stop, several of them wanted to come up to help open the door, but James jumped down first.

And trotted to the co-pilot, opened the door respectfully.

Under the shocking eyes of the factory administrators, a cat in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car.

With a cigar in his hand, he walked towards the factory without squinting.

Tanjiro and the others behind him hurriedly followed.

"Show me the goods, you should know the purpose of our visit this time."

Tom's tone was steady.

Upon hearing this, James accompanied Tom forward, saying repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Tom, there will be absolutely no problem, and you will be satisfied."

Seeing the boss respectful to a cat, the factory administrator next to him felt that his mind was a little out of order.

I very much doubted whether I had inhaled too much gas, which caused my head to break.

Ultraviolet lamps were invented in 1904. After so many years, the technology has become much more mature than before.

Not to mention that the Ghost Killing Team has invested in research funds regardless of returns in the past two years. James is confident that their improved ultraviolet lamps will satisfy Tom.

"According to your requirements, our UV lamps are divided into mobile version and fixed version. They are powered by nickel-iron-alkali batteries, and can also be directly plugged in. The fixed plate has the highest power, and the mobile version can be used by hand."

James took Tom and the others to visit the ultraviolet lamps in the warehouse, and turned on several for Tom to see the effect.

Tanjiro sniffed it, and said in surprise, "It actually smells like a part of the sun."

Tom nodded in satisfaction, and said again: "The lamp is good, we have it. Have you bought the machine gun that you helped buy?"

Seeing Tom nodded, James breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said again with a smile on his face: "I have bought both the Hotchicks M1914 heavy machine gun and the Maxim machine gun. But you know, these are not simple goods. It cost a lot of money."

"As long as there is no problem with the quality of the goods, the money will definitely not be lost to you."

Although Tom is a cat, he is not big in size, but he is very dignified standing there.

"The last thing, you said that you found a creature suspected of being a vampire. We are here for him. Do you know where he is now?"

"I know, we have been paying attention to his movements. It seems that he is around Rhodes now. He has been acting as an artist. During this period, many artists have also disappeared."

"An artist?"

Tom nodded, he knew who the Winding Ghost in the information was.
