I'm Someone Else

Chapter 303

In his mind, Thomas continuously calculated the specific steps for tomorrow’s process of toning up hisbody. He also pondered various contingency plans because, after all, life was precious, and he didn’twant to die, especially not at this critical juncture.

When morning came, he woke up and prepared breakfast. After eating with Olivia, he dropped her offat the entrance of Keyshire Property.

“Here, this is the car key. I promised you before that I would accompany you to buy a good car, but dueto various reasons and your not-so-good driving skills, we didn’t get around to it. Please take good careof my car. I hope it remains intact when I come back.”

Thomas decided to break the tension with a joke. The atmosphere was too oppressive and he wantedto lighten it.

Olivia blushed and took the car key. “Don’t worry, I won’t damage your ride. I hope you come back tobe my driver.”

Thomas nodded with a smile and said unwittingly, “Of course. I will be your driver for a lifetime.”

“Okay.”

Upon hearing this, Olivia’s face lit up with a sweet smile.

“Well, I’m going in.”

“Go ahead, but don’t overwork yourself.”

“Alright.”

Olivia entered the office building, but instead of taking the elevator to her office, she looked backthrough the glass window with deep reluctance. She only turned away when she saw Thomas gettinginto a Mercedes-Benz.

Thomas sat in the Mercedes-Benz, occasionally glancing back in the direction of the Keyshire Propertybuilding. Although Samuel was old, he had seen enough of the world. How could he not know Thomas’cautious intentions?

“Thomas, don’t worry. This time, the Peralta Family’s secret force will be responsible for protectingOlivia. They are all trained by our own family, and although not as powerful as you, they are formidableopponents in this city.”

This time, Samuel spared no expense. Those people were the elite forces of the Peralta Family, andthe same went for those from the Morton Family. In order to reassure Thomas, they revealed their truestrength.

“Thank you.” Thomas sincerely expressed his gratitude.

The medicinal herbs and tub had already been delivered to the Acketts Estate. Thomas just needed togo there himself.

Soon, the car arrived at the outskirts of Irieson, and a magnificent luxury mansion that surpassedGreen Lake Manor owned by Jake Hind appeared before Thomas’ eyes. In his mind, Thomascontinuously calculated the specific steps for tomorrow’s process of toning up his body. He alsopondered various contingency plans because, after all, life was precious, and he didn’t want to die,especially not at this critical juncture.

“This is it.” Samuel pointed at the mansion in front of them. To ensure that Thomas wouldn’t bedisturbed by the outside world, he arranged for three teams to guard the place. Each team was madeup of five people and they would be on duty around the clock.

“Thomas, we prepared everything as you requested.”

As soon as Thomas got out of the car, William greeted him.

Thomas entered the villa accompanied by Samuel and William.

“William, remember to have someone deliver meals to the doorstep every day. No need to knock on thedoor, and don’t let anyone else get close,” Thomas instructed.

“Yes, inform the guards here that no one should approach the estate for five days. Anyone who violatesthis rule will be executed without mercy!”

William nodded. “Grandad, Thomas, you can rest assured.”

Even if his grandad didn’t remind him, William would never allow anyone to disturb Thomas. In hiseyes, Thomas was his leader. Anyone who dared to harm Thomas would be dealt with without anyhesitation.

Samuel nodded. “Go on. Take a look around, and check if there are any loopholes.”novelbin

William turned and left.

After his grandson’s figure disappeared from sight, Samuel embraced Thomas. “Thomas, take care! Ihope to see you make the entire Irieson tremble in fear after five days!”

Thomas was momentarily stunned, but then, he quickly realized that Samuel, at his age, had seen it all.He must have discerned something from the preparations Thomas had made.

“Old Mr. Peralta, I entrust Olivia and Chloe to you.”

Thomas couldn’t put into words the emotions he felt at this moment—helplessness, reluctance, and ahint of excitement mixed with anxiety.

“Don’t worry!”

After releasing Thomas, Samuel turned around and walked out of the villa. He shouted to the peoplewithin the estate, “Listen up! From this moment on, only the meal delivery personnel are allowed toapproach this villa. Nobody else, no matter who they are, is permitted to come near! If anyone isloitering around the estate, regardless of their purpose or background, kill them all!”

“Yes, sir!”

The thunderous response demonstrated their determination!

William and Sean cleared their schedules and personally led the guards to protect Thomas duringthese five days.

William and Sean might not know the exact purpose of Thomas, but they could infer something fromtheir grandads’ words. This critical moment called for both of them to step forward and work togetherclosely!

In the villa, Thomas first took a tour to familiarize himself with its layout.

All the medicinal herbs and other materials he needed had been placed in the largest bedroom atWilliam’s orders. Thomas was dumbfounded when he walked in.

The quantity of the medicinal herbs he purchased was excessive since they formed a large pile on thefloor.

Thomas squatted down and unpacked the medicinal herbs one by one, then placed them into the tubthat was already filled with water. He then arranged charcoal blocks underneath the tub and ignitedthem.

Even these charcoal blocks were specially ordered by William, with a quick temperature rise withoutsmoke or odor. Just these blocks alone cost the Peralta Family a six-figure sum.

An hour later, the water in the tub was boiling. Thomas had already placed all the required medicinalherbs in it except for the main herb—the Century Lotus.

The Century Lotus prevented the user from succumbing to fevers, while the other medicinal herbs,such as Rhodiola rosea, regulated the body’s temperature. The herbs of this concoction complementedeach other.

Thomas tossed the Century Lotus into the tub, then undressed and immersed himself in it.

Hiss!

As soon as he entered the tub, Thomas sucked in a breath of cold air. The water was boiling, and if anordinary person were to touch it, let alone soak in it, it would be unbearable.

However, Thomas endured it with his superhuman perseverance. He wasn’t afraid of scalding himselfbecause these medicinal herbs would be sufficient to heal his scorched skin if the process of toning uphis body succeeded.

This was only the lightest consequence of the process of toning up his body. As the process continued,Thomas would face even greater challenges and torment that were more agonizing than the scorchingheat.

Soon, Thomas’ entire body turned fiery red. From a distance, he looked like a person engulfed inflames.

His eyes were tightly shut, so he didn’t know that the Century Lotus had started emitting a dazzlingwhite light!
