I’m Someone Else

Thomas smiled. “Are you still busy?”

“Well…” The man on the other end of the call sighed. “I don’t want to talk about it. My old man is insistent on having me take over the family business. I don’t really mind it since I’ll have to face it anyway, but the problem is it has to be a process! I have so many issues to deal with now that I cannot complete it. I initially had the time to go to Irieson last week, but it’ll have to wait until next month.”

Thomas patiently listened to the man’s complaints before getting straight to the point. “Hey, I called to ask for a favor.”

“Just say it, boss. We are best friends, and you don’t have to be courteous about it.” The man’s tone became serious after hearing what Thomas had to say.

“I want to borrow two of your men.”

“Borrow my men?” The man was puzzled as to why Thomas wanted to borrow some men from him. “Did anything happen?”

“It’s nothing. I just need two powerful fighters, or it will be useless,” Thomas replied politely, feeling somewhat uncomfortable since he had asked his friend for a favor already and now had to trouble his friend again.

The man pondered for a moment. “Of course I have them. Don’t worry, boss. I’ll get this done for you. However, I do want to ask you… Have you run into any trouble lately? You can tell me about it. Don’t carry the burden yourself.”

Thomas might not be from Irieson, but his family had widespread influence in Droycore as well as immense power in Irieson. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have developed Keyshire Properties into the current leader of the Irieson property sector. Rafael was merely a subordinate in Thomas’ family, but the former was a strong figure in Irieson whom no one dared cross. This showed a hint of the man’s background.
