I’m Someone Else

Thomas followed the four men into the restroom inside the auction house.

As soon as he entered the restroom, four more men emerged. In total, there were eight of them. One of them said darkly to Thomas, “Brat, blame no one but yourself for messing with the wrong person. Come on, guys! Get him!” With that, the eight men instantly began attacking him.

Needless to say, Thomas wasn’t going to let them have their way. After knocking all eight of them down with one kick each, he left the restroom in style without even bothering to ask who had sent them here to come after him. At the moment, his top priority was to get hold of the Century Lotus, and he didn’t want to miss it.

No sooner had he left than he returned. In less than five minutes, he resumed his seat between Timothy and Rose.

“You’re not hurt, are you, Mr. Clifford?” asked Timothy.

Thomas shook his head. “Don’t worry, there’s no way they could hurt me. They’re just a bunch of clowns.”

Timothy nodded without saying another word. If it were other young people who had said that, he would certainly turn up his nose at them for being pretentious. However, it was Thomas who had said that, so he was utterly convinced. He has the right to be pretentious, after all.

In reality, the eight men were sent by Melissa’s boyfriend to find trouble with Thomas. At this moment, the couple was sitting in the back row of the auction house while gawking open-mouthed at the man in disbelief. What’s going on here? How did he get back here unscathed?

“Honey, w-why is he not hurt at all?” Melissa was almost mad with rage. Didn’t we agree to make him a cripple today? But look at the way he is now! He looks perfectly fine. Even if he can fight, he can’t be so good at it as to knock out eight professional bodyguards by himself, can he?

Tosh was baffled as well. Could my eyes be playing tricks on me, and the guy in front over there isn’t Thomas at all? He wanted to charge toward the man and beat the daylights out of him right now, but now that the auction had already started, he didn’t have the courage yet.
