I’m Someone Else

Presently, Thomas was most concerned about the cremains. If something happened to the cremains, he had no idea how he would face Chloe and his deceased best friend, Zachary.

Upon hearing Thomas’ request, Cornelius was elated. Initially, he thought that they were doomed. After all, the Xalmars and the Yams were gone, and he was no match for Thomas. As such, death seemed to be their only eventuality.

However, he was surprised that Thomas was more interested in the cremains. As long as he and Blake were still alive, there was hope for the Hind Family. He certainly understood that if they could survive, they would stand a chance to retaliate against Thomas in the future.

“Didn’t you hear him, Blake? Tell him where the cremains are right now!” Cornelius bellowed. It was no longer just about the cremains. The matter would determine the Hind Family’s chances of survival.

A helpless Blake replied, “Elder Cornelius, I-I don’t know where the cremains are. Jake has been doing everything by himself, and I know nothing about it.”

Naturally, he wanted to survive as well, but he had no idea where the cremains were. Otherwise, he would’ve revealed everything before Cornelius’ arrival instead of enduring Thomas’ torture.

Upon hearing that, Sean was anxious. “Do you think we’re fools, old geezer? Everyone knows that you’re the one in charge of the Hind Family, and Jake had to get your permission before he did anything. Do you think you’ll be fine by pushing all the responsibilities to your dead brother?”

Besides Sean, even Cornelius didn’t believe it. “Stop lying, Blake. Tell them where the cremains are!” He could see that Quincy and the others appeared displeased. What’s Blake doing? He’s usually reliable, but why is he so stupid now?! Why is he keeping the cremains? He should just return it to them. What’s more important than saving his life?

Blake was on the brink of tears. “I’m not lying, Elder Cornelius. I really have no idea. Jake didn’t tell me anything when he did such a thing. I was informed of the matter when my subordinate found out about it. When I came across Jake earlier, he told me Thomas was killed, so I didn’t ask him about the cremains. Then, Thomas barged into my house.”
