I’m Someone Else

John could feel the injured meridians slowly healing up. Quickly, he told the martial arts expert about the news and handed over the formula. Of course he told the Peralta Family as well. If it weren’t for Thomas’ help, the martial arts experts wouldn’t have agreed to help him battle the six families.

The Peralta expert smiled at the Elliott expert. “This is nothing. Talk to him more and you’ll realize he has a lot more to give, especially to a family of healers like yours. If he’s willing to impart his teachings, your family’s skills are going to leap into a new frontier. Quincy’s an example.”

Just then, John’s phone rang, and after he took the call, he gasped. “What? Did you just say Quincy has decided to come out of retirement?”

“Yes, that’s what the director said. The whole city’s gone mad with the news. Even Capitalis has gotten the news.”

John’s phone fell to the ground. Samuel and Raymond were slack-jawed, staring at John in disbelief. They heard the whole thing. Quincy’s coming out of retirement? Is he mad?

They knew of Quincy’s past. Escaping with his skin intact was already hard enough. Coming out of retirement would mean all his efforts were for naught. He’s going to put his family in jeopardy. At least consider their situation.

Sean and William were heavily injured. Even with Thomas’ formula, they needed ample rest to heal up, which meant they would have to take up the duty of guarding Thomas. The six families might start to panic and send more killers over after their failed attempt.
