I’m Someone Else

Leah stormed out of Blake’s house right after that. In Blake’s childhood memory, he had always remembered Leah as a gentle, goddess-like person, but the Leah he just saw earlier terrified him, and he could even smell the scent of death on her. That was a completely different person from his childhood memory!

Is she still the same person I knew, the same Leah that Father was so obsessed about? he wondered in fright.

A few minutes later, he recollected himself and scrambled to his feet. Dusting himself off with a crumpled, menacing look on his face, he then gritted his teeth and hollered, “Leah Wilkerson, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!”

Then, he punched the coffee table in front of the couch a few times to vent his ire.

Bang! Crack!

Suddenly, the coffee table broke into pieces under his not-so-tender ministrations.

Who do you think you are, Leah Wilkerson? How dare you threaten me! It sounds like you think nothing of the Hind Family at all, he thought, his anger growing with every passing second.

“Leah, let’s wait and see! I would like to find out how you’re going to wipe out my entire clan!”

As Blake was completely ignorant about Leah’s background, he didn’t believe a word she said, nor did he think that she was that powerful. In his eyes, she was nothing more than a regular elderly woman. In contrast, the Hind Family was a completely different existence because they were one of the Six Greatest Families of Irieson. When it came to threats, only he had what it took to threaten her, and not the other way around. Does she think that she can kill my entire family? What a joke! There’s no way that I’ll believe that.

Alas, Blake was simply too conceited, judging Leah without even doing the most basic research beforehand. The woman he looked down on was born into the most influential family in Capitalis. She truly wasn’t one that he should offend at all.
