I’m Someone Else

Chapter 86

Fanny couldn’t understand it. Our family background is pretty good, and we may not be wealthy, but we’re content and comfortable with our finances. Why would Lilac become friends with someone as poor as Chloe? Isn’t she embarrassed to say that she knows people like Chloe and Thomas? Well, this cinema belongs to my suitor, so Thomas is about to be crushed to death like a filthy little cockroach here!

Thomas shot the man a look. The staff members had been especially respectful to the man earlier, so Thomas figured that the man was probably reputable in some ways. Fanny’s not doing too bad, huh? She sure has some skills to be able to find herself a man like this. That explains why she’s so cocky. At that moment, a bunch of men walked in through the doors of the cinema hall. They had all sorts of weapons in their hands, and they walked over to form a circle around Thomas.

Molly panicked at the sight of this. She wrapped her hands tightly around Thomas’ arm as she felt a surge of regret in her chest. “You’re such bad luck, Molly! Why would you suggest watching a movie? Thomas wouldn’t end up in this situation if you hadn’t suggested watching a movie. We’re dead! We can’t escape now!” she whispered to herself.

“Hah. Your girlfriend’s quite pretty. It’s a shame that she’s dressed in cheap clothes!” The man commented as he gazed at Molly thoughtfully. “The next time you decide to date someone, you should make sure that you find a man who’s rich and reputable. The sum of all your clothes is probably less than one of the accessories that I bought for Fanny!” The man felt even more contempt for Thomas as he spoke. How dare someone so lowly and trashy mess with my woman? He must have a death wish.

Fanny, on the other hand, was pleased to witness Thomas’ downfall. Weren’t you all haughty earlier, Thomas? Didn’t you say that you wanted to make me regret my actions? Well, let’s see who’s about to regret their actions today! “Why are you guys still standing around? Attack him!” The man shouted at his staff when he saw that they were still standing in their spots. What a bunch of idiots. They don’t even know when to take action! My guard dogs could probably do a better job than them.

Upon receiving their orders, the men charged toward Thomas. “Ah!” Molly let out a cry as she jumped into Thomas’ arms and squeezed her eyes shut. She didn’t have the guts to look around her then—she was already trembling with fear. “It’s time for you to pay for what you’ve done, you poor b*stard!” Fanny was excited. Didn’t you have all those tough questions for me during our date earlier? Didn’t you reject me? Well, if you’re so good at talking, then I’m going to make sure that all of your teeth are plucked out today. Let’s see how you’re going to talk after that!

Thomas felt the urge to laugh when he saw the men charging toward him. They’re obviously just a bunch of regular staff members who teamed up. The weapons that these men had chosen made it evident—there were men holding stools, bricks, beer bottles, and so on. They were obviously not professional fighters. They seemed more like staff members of the cinema that had been gathered around just for the numbers. Thomas wrapped his left arm around Molly and held her close against his chest as he didn’t want her to get injured. Then, he used his other hand to reach for the stool that was being sent in his direction. With some strength, he managed to pull the stool away from the other man.

The man whose weapon had been snatched tried to protect himself, but Thomas smacked the leg of the stool against the bridge of the man’s nose. The man flew backward, and he covered his nose with both his hands as he began to wail in pain. Thomas felt like he was already showing mercy at that point —if he had been in the same situation when he was in the military, he might have killed everyone there! If the eight years that he spent in the military taught him anything, it was that there was no in-between when attacking another person—he either killed the enemy or got killed himself.

The stool’s broken leg came to life in Thomas’ hand as he swung it all around. It only took Thomas two minutes to defeat all of the men. The men were all on the ground by the end of it, and their painful cries filled the cinema hall. If Thomas had intended to kill them off, the whole cinema would have been a bloodbath. The stool’s leg had split into two throughout the process, which made it clear how powerful and painful his attacks could be.

Thomas threw his weapon on the ground before shooting Fanny and her date a fierce look. Molly slowly lifted her head off Thomas’ chest when she realized that everything was still. She glanced around her, and she was shocked to see a bunch of people lying on the ground. Her tiny hand reached over to cover her mouth as she widened her eyes in shock. She had always known that Thomas could fight, as she had witnessed some of his skills during John’s birthday party. However, she didn’t know he was this good!

There were about twenty men who had surrounded them earlier, and Thomas only took a few minutes to defeat all of them. That’s unbelievable! Both Fanny and her date were too shocked to move. Is Thomas human, or is he a devil? How did he defeat all these people with just a stool leg? Right then, Thomas loosened his grip on Molly before he walked toward the man. I never messed with you, yet you took this opportunity to cause me trouble simply because I happened to be on your grounds. How much nonsense do you expect me to tolerate? I’m sorry your men are useless, and I’m sorry that they failed to do anything to me. But now, it’s my turn! Thomas thought.

“D-Don’t come near me. What are you trying to do?” The man cried out in panic when he saw Thomas walking toward him. He instinctively stumbled a few steps backward without even caring for Fanny. Could he be bothered by his crush at that moment? All he wanted was to protect his life—he could easily find another woman if he managed to survive the day.

“I’m a son of the Xalmar Family in Irieson! Do you know who we are? I-If you lay hands on me, the Xalmar Family will definitely get their revenge. You’re going to die a miserable death!” The man panicked, and he ended up revealing his family name. He was a part of the Xalmar Family, and any regular person in Irieson would be eager to please him if they encountered him on the streets. You’re just some nobody from a poor family. How dare you go against me? You must be tired of life, the man thought.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“The Xalmar Family?” Thomas froze in his spot for a moment. He recalled how one of the inner members of the Xalmar Family had attempted to stab Olivia, and he then raised his hand to feel the wound on his chest. When the man saw Thomas freezing in his spot, the man assumed that Thomas was intimidated by his family name. The fear disappeared from the man’s face as he let out a confident scoff.

The Xalmar Family was one of the largest families in Irieson, after all. Do you think someone who’s dressed in cheap clothes like you can afford to mess with us? Why don’t you take a look in the mirror first? The man was mistaken; Thomas simply stood still for a while because he was trying to figure out why the Xalmar name sounded so familiar. He only stopped to gather his thoughts for a moment.

Thomas didn’t have any intention of killing the man at first, but after hearing that the man was from the Xalmar Family, he felt the urge to do something violent. How dare the people of your family lay hands on Olivia? How dare you guys injure me? I’m sorry, but I’m afraid good days won’t last long for you guys. Once I’m done with Minacia Oito, I’m going to come for you guys! But since you’re here today, I’ll send you along your way first. Perhaps you can learn the ropes in the afterlife while you wait for the rest of your family to join you, Thomas thought.
