I’m Someone Else

Chapter 386

Just like that, the three of them returned to Northpine Villa.

However, Thomas narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brow as soon as the car entered the area, constantly glancing at the rearview mirror.

He quickly noticed that an Audi A6 drove by just as they were about to arrive at the entrance of the villa. The driver didn’t seem to care about discretion as they blatantly followed behind the Maserati.

He intentionally drove around the villa area to make sure the Audi A6 was indeed tailing them. It was just as he expected–the Audi A6 continued to follow closely behind.

Olivia and her sister were quite puzzled by his actions. They wondered why he was driving in circles even though they were already home. Nonetheless, they refrained from asking as they knew he wasn’t in a good mood.

Soon, the Maserati stopped at the villa’s entrance, and he said, “Head inside. I have some business to attend to.” He wanted to find a secluded place to deal with the car following him. It was better not to allow the two women to witness anything horrifying.

The two sisters nodded obediently and promptly got out of the car.

He only left the premises once he was sure that the sisters had safely entered the villa before restarting the engine and driving away. His gaze remained fixed on the Audi A6 in the rearview mirror. If they didn’t follow him after he left, then their intentions would be clear—they were after Olivia. If that was the case, he had no intention of leaving.

Yet, the driver of the Audi A6 stepped on the gas pedal and followed him. Thomas smiled faintly upon seeing that. Now, he was curious about the identity of the person behind the wheel. Was he someone sent by the Flynns or the Wilkersons?

Well, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was from one of these two families. After all, the information Olivia showed him clearly stated that both families had started sending people to suppress Keyshire Property in the business world. The person in the Audi was likely an assassin dispatched by either of the families, feeling desperate after failing to drag Keyshire Property down.

Olivia stood by the window in the villa’s living room, watching the Maserati’s taillights gradually disappear into the distance, and feeling even more regretful. If she had known that those students would anger Thomas, she wouldn’t have gotten involved in the matter at all. Now, just look at what a mess she had made. Not only did he not appreciate her efforts, but he might also be displeased with her.

“Olivia, let’s cook and have dinner, okay? Cease your moping. Thomas is already gone. Are you planning to turn into a lighthouse waiting for your husband’s return?” Ophelie playfully teased.

Olivia let out a sigh and decided to let the matter go. She figured she might as well apologize to Thomas when he returned.

After Thomas left the villa, he stepped hard on the gas pedal, speeding away. The Audi A6 behind him also kept up, closely tailing the Maserati.

Half an hour later, he drove the car to an exceptionally desolate suburban area with no streetlights. The only source of light was the headlights of the two cars.

Then, he got out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth and a playful expression on his face, silently observing the Audi A6.

Bang!

The door of the Audi A6 opened, and two middle-aged men in their forties stepped out—one tall and lanky, the other short and chubby. Both exuded an immensely powerful aura, and their eyes gleamed

with utter apathy. It was as though in their eyes, Thomas was as interesting as a pebble, such eyes could easily make people shudder with fear.

Peak of the Profound Tier Two! His brows furrowed as he sensed the strength of the two men. He had believed that the strongest individual in the city only reached the Ninth Rank of the Yellow Tier. Those who achieved the Profound Tier were reclusive old monsters. So, he couldn’t fathom why there were so many strong opponents crawling out of the woodwork. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Are you Thomas?” asked the tall and lanky man coldly. “The one who destroyed the Six Greatest Families of Irieson?”

He nodded in response and replied, “That’s me.” Since they had come searching for him, there was no doubt that they had investigated him thoroughly, so there was no point in denying it.

“Wow, you actually admitted it!” The short and chubby man sneered, looking at Thomas with disdain. He assumed that Thomas was intellectually challenged since he could have possibly gotten a way out if he hadn’t admitted it. Alas, now they had no choice but to kill him since he confessed without a single shred of hesitation.

Thomas took a deep drag from his cigarette and calmly gazed at the two men in front of him. He wasn’t the least bit afraid even though their strength was a whole level higher than his; it remained to be seen who would survive this battle.

“Thomas, remember our names so that you’ll be able to tell our names when you meet the Grim Reaper!” the tall and thin man spoke with a menacing tone. “We are the Outer Pavilion’s Guardians of the Crimson Moon—the Twin Demons!”

Outer Pavilion? Thomas was taken aback when he heard that. Initially, he thought these two were from the Flynns and the Wilkersons, but it turned out they were sent by Crimson Moon.

So, there was likely to be an Inner Pavilion if they were from the Outer Pavilion. Logically speaking, the strength of the Inner Pavilion would be far stronger than that of the Outer Pavilion. If the Guardians of the Outer Pavilion had already achieved Peak of Profound Tier Two, then how terrifying would the individuals in Inner Pavilion be? According to the information provided by Kyrie, the Elders and Sect Masters were above the Guardians. So, how immensely powerful would they be?

“You little brat! You’re going to die today for opposing the Crimson Moon!” The two men roared and charged at Thomas.

Swish! Swish!

Two swords appeared in the hands of the men, accompanied by dragon-like roars. The swords reflected a dazzling and awe-inspiring brilliance under the car lights’ illumination.

Swish! Swish!

The two swords moved like nimble snakes emerging from their holes, gleaming coldly under the moon, and headed straight for Thomas’ throat.

Thomas’ pupils dilated in that instant, and his heart rate surged with shock. Even though the two men were only at the Peak of Profound Tier Two, their attacks surpassed their strength level in terms of power, angles, and precision. They were even stronger than the six old monsters who had reached the Peak of Profound Tier Three!

He didn’t dare to hesitate nor underestimate them any longer. So, he pushed off the ground with force, swiftly dodging to the side. No wonder Kyrie had warned him about the Crimson Moon’s power— indeed, their strength was not to be underestimated. He had anticipated that the Crimson Moon wouldn’t give up easily, but he hadn’t expected their retaliation to come so quickly.

“You can dodge quite skillfully!” The two men were surprised to see Thomas evade their fatal attacks. Nonetheless, they weren’t fazed as they closed in and attacked relentlessly like an unending torrent of water.

Amidst the chilling light and flying sword shadows surrounding Thomas, he had evaded every single attack. Even though he was stuck on defending himself, the two men became infuriated as they couldn’t even land a single glancing blow on him.

When they left their sect, they were specifically instructed to bring back Thomas’ head or die trying. In all honesty, they hadn’t held Thomas in high regard. After all, he was just a brat in the city; killing him would be as easy as pie.
