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 wasspreading like wildfire outside. No one knew which family would target her next. He had to protectOlivia around the clock.

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

“Okay…”

Molly pouted, feeling extremely aggrieved. It seems like it’s a no-go for me. Miss Pearson is far morecharming 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; therewere 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 menshould not be in the kitchen. To her, cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning were the women’sresponsibilities.

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 ofcooking.

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

He had taken Olivia’s pulse right after they finished dinner earlier. Based on the pulse rate, Olivia’srecovery was going well. Once she finished drinking the herbal medicine he had prepared, the toxins inher 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 eightmasked men in her room.

The glass surrounding the bedroom had shattered, and shards of the glass were scattered all over thefloor. 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 himwith watchful eyes.

The fact that these eight individuals had silently entered through the window on the second floor of thevilla 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 theyhadn’t expected Thomas to move so fast.

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

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 punchesalmost 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 whohad previously tried to assassinate him. Judging by their skills, they were virtually invincible within thiscity! They’re going all out this time, aren’t they? But the person who sent them here is probably going toregret it because Olivia is with me!

A small smirk appeared on Thomas’ lips before he let out a disdainful sneer. He was well aware thatthese eight men were absolute core forces in any of the families in Irieson. Since they have all come tome willingly, there’s no reason for me to let them leave alive, he thought. It seems like their master willonly 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 onthe 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 inwith 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’tachieve such a feat!

“Die, all of you!” Thomas showed no mercy. Right when the seven men hadn’t snapped out of theirsurprise, 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 themwhen 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 downhis face. Olivia, who was behind him, was also affected. Her tears were also flowing as she coveredher 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 hadnever been here at all.

Thomas hurriedly got to the window and looked outside, but there was no sign of the eight men. Heknew 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 wasthe enemy’s plan to lure him away and harm Olivia.

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 hisiron fist. But those four individuals must have had astonishing strength and resilience as they managedto stay alive.

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

The woman’s face was pale. Despite being clearly shaken by the recent events, she forced a smile inorder 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.novelbin

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 escortedOlivia to a new room, and he only left after he stood by the window to ensure there were no potentialdangers.

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 hadasked himself this question.
