I’m Someone Else

Chapter 165

“Thomas, do you have time after work tonight? There’s a new movie that everyone says is really good. How about watching it with me?”

After much hesitation, Molly finally gathered the courage to ask Thomas out.

However, Thomas opened his eyes and shook his head. “No, thanks. Maybe another time.”

He couldn’t afford to have the leisure to watch a movie right now. The news about Olivia dating was spreading like wildfire outside. No one knew which family would target her next. He had to protect Olivia around the clock.

As for watching a movie with Molly, he decided it would be better to wait until this matter was put to rest.

“Okay…”

Molly pouted, feeling extremely aggrieved. It seems like it’s a no-go for me. Miss Pearson is far more charming than me anyway. It’s no wonder Thomas rejected my invitation.

It was already 8.00PM when Thomas and Olivia finally left the office. There was no helping it; there were too many things that Olivia needed to tend to.

Initially, he wanted to cook dinner when they returned home, but she turned him down.

Having grown up in the Pearson Family, where boys were favored over girls, Olivia believed that men should not be in the kitchen. To her, cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning were the women’s responsibilities.

Thomas tried to refuse several times, but it was in vain. He had no choice but to yield.

After dinner, Olivia washed the dishes, bid Thomas goodnight, and went upstairs to rest.

It had been an exhausting day of work. She was even dozing off when she was in the middle of cooking.

At the sight of Olivia going to rest, Thomas quietly slipped into the kitchen to continue brewing tonic for Olivia.

He had taken Olivia’s pulse right after they finished dinner earlier. Based on the pulse rate, Olivia’s recovery was going well. Once she finished drinking the herbal medicine he had prepared, the toxins in her body would be cleansed.

Bam!

Click! Clack!

A loud noise followed by Olivia’s startled scream echoed from upstairs.

Thomas didn’t dare waste a second as he bolted upstairs.

“Olivia!” he shouted. He was already in Olivia’s bedroom the next second. Right then, there were eight masked men in her room.

The glass surrounding the bedroom had shattered, and shards of the glass were scattered all over the floor. The loud noise from earlier was from the broken window when these eight men broke in.

Seeing this, Thomas quickly shielded Olivia behind him while observing the eight men in front of him with watchful eyes.

The fact that these eight individuals had silently entered through the window on the second floor of the villa indicated that they were not ordinary people.

There was a fleeting hint of surprise on their faces when they saw Thomas. It was as though they hadn’t expected Thomas to move so fast.

However, the shock only lasted for a second before the men aggressively launched an attack on Thomas.

With one hand hugging Olivia’s delicate waist, Thomas evaded the attacks of the eight men.

As he expected, they were incredibly quick on their feet, for he was surrounded by a flurry of punches almost in an instant. Enormous fists carried powerful gusts of wind targeting the vital parts of his body, landing lethal strikes.

Thomas furrowed his brows. He could tell that these men were much more potent than anyone who had previously tried to assassinate him. Judging by their skills, they were virtually invincible within this city! They’re going all out this time, aren’t they? But the person who sent them here is probably going to regret it because Olivia is with me!

A small smirk appeared on Thomas’ lips before he let out a disdainful sneer. He was well aware that these eight men were absolute core forces in any of the families in Irieson. Since they have all come to me willingly, there’s no reason for me to let them leave alive, he thought. It seems like their master will only learn that we are not to be trifled with after I make them pay the price!

Bam!

Crack!

Instantly, the man’s chest caved in, and he flew backward, crashing into the wall before collapsing on the ground. Blood proceeded to gush from his mouth.

“Huh?”

Startled at the sight, the remaining seven men froze. He managed to make an adult man’s chest sink in with a single punch? Just how explosive is his strength?

They considered themselves to be experts among the experts in the city, yet they knew they couldn’t achieve such a feat!

“Die, all of you!” Thomas showed no mercy. Right when the seven men hadn’t snapped out of their surprise, he counterattacked, his fists fierce and relentless.

Bam! Wham! Pow!

In the blink of an eye, three more men were sent flying.

“This is bad! Run!”

The remaining four were quick to react. They didn’t give Thomas a chance to continue attacking them when they whipped out a smoke grenade seemingly from thin air and hurled it on the floor.

Cough! Cough!

Now that Thomas was caught off guard, he choked because of the smoke as the tears streamed down his face. Olivia, who was behind him, was also affected. Her tears were also flowing as she covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

When the smoke cleared, the men, including the four men who had been knocked down by Thomas, had all vanished without a trace. If it weren’t for the broken window, one could even think they had never been here at all.

Thomas hurriedly got to the window and looked outside, but there was no sign of the eight men. He knew that they couldn’t have gone far with their four severely injured comrades. If he went after them,

he could surely end their lives.

However, he couldn’t do that because Olivia was still inside. He would be on the losing end if this was the enemy’s plan to lure him away and harm Olivia. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

He had to give up even though he was reluctant to do so.

Thomas had struck hard just now, and if it were an ordinary person, they would have been killed by his iron fist. But those four individuals must have had astonishing strength and resilience as they managed to stay alive.

“Did anything happen to you, Olivia? Are you okay? Did you get hurt?” Thomas came to her with concern written all over his face.

The woman’s face was pale. Despite being clearly shaken by the recent events, she forced a smile in order not to worry Thomas. “Don’t worry, they didn’t have a chance to attack me. You arrived on time. I’m fine.”

“I’m glad.” Thomas let out a sigh of relief.

Since the window of the bedroom had already shattered, it was no longer suitable for staying in. Fortunately, the spacious villa had a few other spare bedrooms. Thomas then personally escorted Olivia to a new room, and he only left after he stood by the window to ensure there were no potential dangers.

The medicine he was brewing was still on the stove. He needed to go down to keep an eye on it.

“Who could have sent the assassins tonight?” Even Thomas couldn’t count how many times he had asked himself this question.
