I’m Someone Else

“Mr. Clifford, I wonder, how are you going to participate in the competition?”

The question took Thomas aback. “What do you mean?”

He didn’t know much about the Ancient Martial Arts Family Ranking Competition aside from the information he got from some conversation. He knew nothing about the requirements and the rules.

“That’s right. Normally, you are unqualified to participate in the competition. After all, it’s a competition between families.”

Rochka then provided Thomas with another possibility. “However, Mr. Clifford, you have connections and you’re capable. You needn’t worry about such a trivial matter. From what I see, you can simply establish a league on your own. You have one year to prepare for the competition. It is more than enough to strengthen your family.”

Rochka wasn’t trying to flatter Thomas. After all, Thomas’ capability was clear to all. Not only did he wipe out the Six Greatest Families by himself, but he had connections too. Rochka was sure that as long as Thomas was willing to take the first step, the Travis Family of Capitalis, the Elliott Family of Irieson, the Mortons, the Peralta Family, and Quincy would definitely help him as best as they could. His family no doubt would thrive with their help.

Thomas shook his head. He wasn’t interested. Building a family was a troublesome task. For the time being, his priority was to improve himself. There wasn’t any energy left in him to tend to those trivial matters.

Besides, he was an orphan. He didn’t have a family. Even if he tried, he didn’t have a family to begin with.

Rochka continued, “If you aren’t interested in building a family, you can join one of the available families.”

Thomas sighed. He didn’t expect his wish to participate in the competition to settle personal scores would be that problematic. None of Rochka’s suggestions were ideal for him.

If I join any of the families, I’m bound to follow their orders. I’m a free spirit. Restrictions and orders don’t sit right with me.

“Forget about it. We’ll talk about it in the future.” Thomas shook his head in resignation as the whole situation was demotivating him.
