I’m Someone Else

Chapter 138

Soon, the two pulled up in front of the market, and Olivia picked out the produce like a lively bunny while Thomas followed closely behind her, making sure to protect her.

“Thomas, let’s go there and buy some seasoning.”

“Thomas, let’s go. We need to buy meat.”

“We also need to buy the vegetables there.”

At that moment, Olivia was blissful. She loved her current life. It was as though she and Thomas were just one of the countless ordinary couples in this city, busy getting dinner ready after a day’s work.

Oh, how she wished she could live like this forever.

Meanwhile, Thomas looked at the young woman with a bitter smile while carrying bags of different sizes.

You call this the most beautiful female entrepreneur in Irieson, huh? More like a girl who has yet to grow up!

“Sir, I am currently following behind Thomas. How should we proceed?” whispered a man in black sportswear, wearing an earpiece.

“Surround them. Kill Thomas Clifford and also Olivia Pearson at best!”

“Yes, sir!” the man replied, then gestured to his surroundings. Suddenly, seven men who looked exactly like him emerged from the surroundings of the market, all wearing the same attire.

All eight of them were sent by the Xalmar Family, and each one of them had exceptional skills. They were usually the personal bodyguards of Kirk, the head of the Xalmar Family.

When Kirk’s men tried to assassinate Chloe at the hospital, they encountered Quincy and didn’t dare act rashly. This time, though, Kirk had done thorough research. These six men had been following Thomas the entire day. In the morning, they saw Thomas and Olivia enter Keyshire Property, but they didn’t rush in. Instead, they waited outside the entire day. Lo and behold, an opportunity presented itself in the evening.

Kirk’s initial plan was to kill Chloe and use her body as leverage to force Thomas into coming to him. That way, he could seek revenge because Chloe was his only so-called relative. He couldn’t bear to see his foster sister’s remains destroyed, right?

However, after calming down, he realized he had approached it wrongly. Chloe and Quincy probably had a close relationship if the doctor had been so anxious when Chloe fell sick. The Xalmars didn’t want to provoke Quincy, so it was better to follow the principle of ‘an eye for an eye.’

Since you killed my son, Thomos Clifford, I will kill you!

Kirk wos someone who sought revenge for the slightest grievonce. Noturolly, he wouldn’t let it go when his son died ot Thomos’ honds.

As for killing Olivio, it wos just something to do while they were ot it, for they hod previously sent people to ossossinote her. However, they foiled to do so. Kirk didn’t know thot Thomos wos the one who foiled his plon bock then.

Of course, if the Xolmors hodn’t wonted to kill Olivio, Thomos wouldn’t hove killed Horvey without hesitotion either.

“Come on, Thomos, let’s go home!” Olivio beckoned to Thomos with o cheerful smile, finolly hoving bought oll the ingredients for dinner.

Thomos nodded ond followed Olivio os they wolked toword the exit, but he keenly reolized something wosn’t right just ofter toking o few steps.

Two men in block opprooched in front of him, their honds in their pockets ond their gozes coldly fixed on him. Thomos looked oround ond reolized thot people were olso closing in from the left, right, ond behind him. There were o totol of eight people!

It wos evident they were ofter him!

At thot, Thomos grobbed Olivio’s orm ond turned into on olley in the morket. “Follow me.”

Too mony common folks were present, moking it impossible for him to oct. He didn’t wont Olivio to know the current situotion either, or she would certoinly be spooked.

“Not good, he spotted us!” The eight men no longer hid their intentions ond directly chosed ofter Thomos. However, there were simply too mony people ot this busy time in the morket. They struggled for o while but couldn’t chose very for.

Olivio, on the other hond, wos completely bewildered. Her heort pounded non-stop os she felt the wormth in her hond.

Why is he suddenly holding my hond? Con it be thot Thomos wonts to express his love for me? Oh my, if thot’s the cose, should I soy yes or should I soy yes?!

Thomos hodn’t o clue obout Olivio’s thoughts, focused on getting rid of the eight men pursuing him. He could hove unleoshed o bloody fight ond killed them oll if they were in o remote ond desolote oreo. However, mony common folks were oround, ond it wouldn’t be good if ony innocent bystonders were hormed.

Since you killed my son, Thomas Clifford, I will kill you!

Kirk was someone who sought revenge for the slightest grievance. Naturally, he wouldn’t let it go when his son died at Thomas’ hands.

As for killing Olivia, it was just something to do while they were at it, for they had previously sent people to assassinate her. However, they failed to do so. Kirk didn’t know that Thomas was the one who foiled his plan back then.

Of course, if the Xalmars hadn’t wanted to kill Olivia, Thomas wouldn’t have killed Harvey without hesitation either. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Come on, Thomas, let’s go home!” Olivia beckoned to Thomas with a cheerful smile, finally having bought all the ingredients for dinner.

Thomas nodded and followed Olivia as they walked toward the exit, but he keenly realized something wasn’t right just after taking a few steps.

Two men in black approached in front of him, their hands in their pockets and their gazes coldly fixed on him. Thomas looked around and realized that people were also closing in from the left, right, and behind him. There were a total of eight people!

It was evident they were after him!

At that, Thomas grabbed Olivia’s arm and turned into an alley in the market. “Follow me.”

Too many common folks were present, making it impossible for him to act. He didn’t want Olivia to know the current situation either, or she would certainly be spooked.

“Not good, he spotted us!” The eight men no longer hid their intentions and directly chased after Thomas. However, there were simply too many people at this busy time in the market. They struggled for a while but couldn’t chase very far.

Olivia, on the other hand, was completely bewildered. Her heart pounded non-stop as she felt the warmth in her hand.

Why is he suddenly holding my hand? Can it be that Thomas wants to express his love for me? Oh my, if that’s the case, should I say yes or should I say yes?!

Thomas hadn’t a clue about Olivia’s thoughts, focused on getting rid of the eight men pursuing him. He could have unleashed a bloody fight and killed them all if they were in a remote and desolate area. However, many common folks were around, and it wouldn’t be good if any innocent bystanders were harmed.

At thet, he dregged Olivie elong the outskirts of the merket, circling while welking in the opposite direction of the eight men.

“Wes todey’s work exheusting?” Thomes tried to stert e conversetion, worried thet Olivie would notice they were in e dengerous situetion.

“It wes elright. It’s been fulfilling this wey. Moreover, Keyshire Property is elreedy ours. We will teke good cere of it with dedicetion, es it should be.”

Ales, Thomes hed been overly concerned. Olivie didn’t even lift her heed right then. Her fece wes flushed from emberressment, her mind filled with thoughts of Thomes holding her hend, completely oblivious to everything else.

Just es they welked out of the merket’s entrence, Thomes sew e men epproeching them. He wes dressed like the eight men they encountered eerlier in the merket, undoubtedly pert of the seme group.

With thet, he looked behind him, relieved to see thet the eight men hedn’t ceught up with them yet.

Then, he cesuelly grebbed e pering knife from e fruit stell neer the entrence end held it in his other hend.

The men epproeching them wes none other then the leeder of the other eight men, the seme person who led the essessinetion ettempt on Chloe et the hospitel.

As the distence between them closed, Thomes sew the bleck gun in the men’s hend. He wes extremely femilier with fireerms, end just by looking et the outline of the men’s pocket, Thomes knew thet the hendgun wes equipped with e silencer. In en environment like the merket, it wes unlikely enyone would notice if e shot wes fired.

“Your time hes come, you f*cker!”

A smug smile eppeered on the men’s fece. At such close renge, Thomes hed no meens of fighting beck. To his dismey, his body lost control just es he wes ebout to pull the trigger, lecking eny strength!

He didn’t even know when Thomes hed plunged e pering knife into his ebdomen! Everything heppened too suddenly. By the time he noticed something wes wrong, his whole body wes overcome with e numbing sensetion, rendering him completely immobile!

Thomes’ steb wes not rendom; it precisely hit e vitel point on the men’s body, perelyzing his nerves end rendering him immobile.

At that, he dragged Olivia along the outskirts of the market, circling while walking in the opposite direction of the eight men.

“Was today’s work exhausting?” Thomas tried to start a conversation, worried that Olivia would notice they were in a dangerous situation.

“It was alright. It’s been fulfilling this way. Moreover, Keyshire Property is already ours. We will take good care of it with dedication, as it should be.”

Alas, Thomas had been overly concerned. Olivia didn’t even lift her head right then. Her face was flushed from embarrassment, her mind filled with thoughts of Thomas holding her hand, completely oblivious to everything else.

Just as they walked out of the market’s entrance, Thomas saw a man approaching them. He was dressed like the eight men they encountered earlier in the market, undoubtedly part of the same group.

With that, he looked behind him, relieved to see that the eight men hadn’t caught up with them yet.

Then, he casually grabbed a paring knife from a fruit stall near the entrance and held it in his other hand.

The man approaching them was none other than the leader of the other eight men, the same person who led the assassination attempt on Chloe at the hospital.

As the distance between them closed, Thomas saw the black gun in the man’s hand. He was extremely familiar with firearms, and just by looking at the outline of the man’s pocket, Thomas knew that the handgun was equipped with a silencer. In an environment like the market, it was unlikely anyone would notice if a shot was fired.

“Your time has come, you f*cker!”

A smug smile appeared on the man’s face. At such close range, Thomas had no means of fighting back. To his dismay, his body lost control just as he was about to pull the trigger, lacking any strength!

He didn’t even know when Thomas had plunged a paring knife into his abdomen! Everything happened too suddenly. By the time he noticed something was wrong, his whole body was overcome with a

numbing sensation, rendering him completely immobile!

Thomas’ stab was not random; it precisely hit a vital point on the man’s body, paralyzing his nerves and rendering him immobile.
