I’m Someone Else

Thomas gazed at those before him in bewilderment, not recognizing any of them.

Then again, he couldn’t be blamed, for those he recognized couldn’t show up anymore—the patriarch of the Yam Family, Harley, for instance. The man’s lumbar vertebrae were broken, and he was still lying at home. Come to think of it, it was rather troublesome.

It was Thomas’ first time meeting Kirk too. Though he killed Harvey out of anger, Kirk had been retaliating in the shadows all this while. This was their first official meeting.

“You’ve got the nerve, kid!” Quentin was suddenly impressed with Thomas when he looked at the two dead bodies and Blake trembling in pain in the corner. If it were someone else, they’d have long disappeared after upsetting the Six Greatest Families of Irieson. On the contrary, Thomas deepened his conflict with the Six Greatest Families. In fact, he had even barged through the Hind Family’s main entrance, disregarding the Six Greatest Families entirely. Who else in this world had courage like Thomas?!

The two eldest men were the Yam and Xalmar Families’ martial arts experts, who came together to end Thomas after learning that the young man had come right to the Hind Family’s doorsteps.

“It’s not just that. He’s practically audacious!” Logan’s eyes burned ablaze with anger while he glared at Thomas. He had been out of town for business all this while, and it was immediately after returning to Irieson that he heard about Thomas’ actions. What infuriated him more was the fact that the young man had also killed Harvey. This grudge had to be avenged.

“You don’t know us, do you, Thomas Clifford?” Quentin sneered, having seemingly read Thomas’ mind. “No matter, you will die today. I shall let you die with peace of mind. This is the martial arts expert of the Yam Family, and the man next to him is the Xalmar Family’s martial arts expert. I, on the other hand, am Leslie’s grandfather and Harley’s father! This is Harvey’s father, Kirk, and this is his grandfather, Logan Xalmar!”

Thomas, oh, Thomas, you should be content with what you have. You’re the first person ever in history to gather three of the Six Greatest Families to kill you. Even if you die, it will be a glorious death, and you will be remembered by future generations.
