I’m Someone Else

Chapter 387

Alas, the two men still hadn’t managed to harm Thomas even after hundreds of moves. This left them feeling anxious and frustrated.

The Crimson Moon stubbornly held the belief that Thomas had only destroyed the Six Greatest Families of Irieson. They didn’t think he could actually kill their representative in the city, no matter how exceptional he was.

So, they assumed the Travis Family orchestrated the deaths of those six people in secret. The fact that the Travis Family was backed by a hidden sect made the Crimson Moon hesitant to confront them directly. However, they believed they could still eliminate Thomas covertly, leading them to dispatch the Twin Demons, whose strength wasn’t particularly remarkable within their sect.

In the end, they underestimated Thomas, and they would be paying for their hubris. If they had sent experts from the Inner Pavilion, Thomas would undoubtedly be dead today.

“Damn it! How is this possible?” The two men were furious, and they soon lost their composure as annoyance showed on their faces. At that moment, their aura surged, and they unleashed their signature move—the Twin Demon Combo Technique!

“You should feel proud to be able to die under the power of our combined attack, b*stard!” Their coordination was flawless, and their swords, resembling venomous snakes, nearly enveloped Thomas’ entire body, leaving no angles uncovered. They attacked him relentlessly, giving him no chance to catch his breath as they pressed on.

Swish! Swish!

In the blink of an eye, several deep wounds appeared on Thomas’ body. Crimson blood seeped through his shirt and dripped onto the ground. Fortunately, Thomas’ reflexes were far beyond average,

allowing him to avoid any fatal strikes by a very slim margin. Therefore, he only suffered superficial cuts, nothing life-threatening.

Even so, Thomas’ forehead was covered in cold sweat. He would undoubtedly be defeated today if they continued at a stalemate like this. With this thought in mind, Thomas went on the offensive, appearing almost crazed as he charged toward the two men.

“Hmm?” The two men were taken aback by his behavior. Has this guy lost his marbles? He was coming at them head-on, practically throwing himself onto their swords. Regardless, since he was willingly walking into his demise, they couldn’t be blamed for taking advantage of it and being ruthless.

Bang! Bang!

As Thomas charged toward them, two deafening gunshots rang out.

“F*ck!” The tall and thin man reacted quickly, managing to evade the shots.

Thud.

Unfortunately, the other man wasn’t as fortunate. A dark hole appeared on his forehead, and fresh blood trickled out. His eyes were lifeless as he fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

“You scoundrel! I’ll f*cking kill you!” the surviving man shouted in anger. Using firearms in a face-to-face duel was a cardinal sin for martial artists! Yet, as he looked in the direction where Thomas was standing just moments ago, he could not see Thomas anywhere! His eyes widened in astonishment as a sudden foreboding gripped him, and he quickly scanned the area, trying to find any trace of Thomas.

Unfortunately for him, it was far from an easy task to find Thomas. As a top-notch sniper, concealment was one of his greatest skills!

At that moment, Thomas stood on a tree, narrowing his eyes in absolute focus, and closely watched the man as he frantically searched the area like a headless chicken. He blended into the darkness as if he were part of the tree itself.

“Come out, you idiot! Quit playing hide and seek. Face me like a man!” the man shouted hysterically.

Thomas wasn’t foolish. He already knew that facing the man alone wouldn’t be a walk in the park, especially after suffering these injuries. Even though he had killed the man’s companion, the gap in their strength was something he couldn’t overcome at the moment.

“You think I won’t find you?” The man sneered, raising his sword and randomly slashing around.

Swish! Swish!

The sharp and fierce sword energy cut through nearby trees, causing several to fall to the ground with a thud.

Then, the man turned and struck the tree where Thomas was standing. Nonetheless, Thomas remained composed, allowing himself to fall with the tree trunk toward the ground. Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed in Thomas’ eyes. Now’s the time!

The man seemed to sense something was amiss and swiftly turned his head toward Thomas’ location. Unfortunately, he realized it far too late.

Bang!

The man fell to the ground, becoming another corpse joining the ranks, just his companion. His eyes were wide open in disbelief. Even in death, he couldn’t comprehend why he was the one who ended up dead despite having far superior strength to Thomas.

“Phew!” Thomas let out a sigh of relief. The martial artists from the sects were on a completely different level compared to those in the city. It seemed he should find time to thoroughly study the secret techniques the old man had left for him. Otherwise, he might not be so lucky to survive next time.

He looked down at the Desert Eagle, which was still emitting smoke in his hand. His marksmanship saved his life at such a critical moment. After all, no one could match a marksman like him!

Thomas ambled back to the Maserati, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag. He wasn’t worried about the two corpses on the ground at all. Both of them were from the hidden sects and probably had no official records or identities in the city. Their deaths would go unnoticed, and the police wouldn’t dig too deep even if they found the bodies.

He had always considered the Flynns and the Wilkersons as his biggest enemies, but today’s events made him realize how laughable that notion was. His most formidable adversary was not the two families, but the Crimson Moon, which had been lurking in the shadows all along!

“Wait a minute…” Thomas suddenly remembered something. Since the Crimson Moon had already targeted him, would they also go after Olivia? After all, Olivia was meant to be the offering from the Six Greatest Families of Irieson to the Crimson Moon!

“Sh*t!”

Immediately, he stomped on the gas pedal, and the Maserati transformed into a fierce beast in the night, its engine roaring as it sped toward the city. He had one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding the phone as he dialed Olivia’s number.

As he heard the sound of the phone trying to connect, he fervently prayed in his heart, Answer the phone! Please answer the phone! Olivia, please be okay!

His biggest concern now was that someone from the Crimson Moon might target Olivia after he left the villa. If that were the case, he would be utterly devastated. Every single second he spent waiting for her to answer the call felt like an eternity. Even though it was just a few seconds, he couldn’t help but feel the rising panic overwhelming his sanity.

“Hello, Thomas, what’s up?” Finally, the call connected, and her voice came through from the other end of the line. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where are you?” he asked sharply.

“I’m at home. What about you?” she replied.
