I’m Someone Else

Chapter 237

Thomas smiled. “Are you still busy?”

“Well…” The man on the other end of the call sighed. “I don’t want to talk about it. My old man is insistent on having me take over the family business. I don’t really mind it since I’ll have to face it anyway, but the problem is it has to be a process! I have so many issues to deal with now that I cannot complete it. I initially had the time to go to Irieson last week, but it’ll have to wait until next month.”

Thomas patiently listened to the man’s complaints before getting straight to the point. “Hey, I called to ask for a favor.”

“Just say it, boss. We are best friends, and you don’t have to be courteous about it.” The man’s tone became serious after hearing what Thomas had to say.

“I want to borrow two of your men.”

“Borrow my men?” The man was puzzled as to why Thomas wanted to borrow some men from him. “Did anything happen?”

“It’s nothing. I just need two powerful fighters, or it will be useless,” Thomas replied politely, feeling somewhat uncomfortable since he had asked his friend for a favor already and now had to trouble his friend again.

The man pondered for a moment. “Of course I have them. Don’t worry, boss. I’ll get this done for you. However, I do want to ask you… Have you run into any trouble lately? You can tell me about it. Don’t carry the burden yourself.”

Thomas might not be from Irieson, but his family had widespread influence in Droycore as well as immense power in Irieson. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have developed Keyshire Properties into the current

leader of the Irieson property sector. Rafael was merely a subordinate in Thomas’ family, but the former was a strong figure in Irieson whom no one dared cross. This showed a hint of the man’s background.

“I want these two to help protect my sister,” Thomas replied lightly, refusing to tell his friend about his circumstances since it would merely add to the latter’s burdens. Thomas knew his friend well; if he ever knew about Thomas’ situation, he would put down everything and head to Irieson to help Thomas without any hesitation. There was no need for that, not to mention that Thomas didn’t like troubling other people.

The man frowned deeply. A sister? He did have some idea regarding Thomas’ family and remembered that he had been an orphan, so when did he ever have a sister?

“Boss, if you don’t want to say what issues you currently have, I’m not going to ask. Just send me your address, and I’ll send the people you asked for. Don’t worry; anyone that I choose will be quite capable. Just remember that you are still my boss, no matter where we are or when. Just tell me if you have anything you cannot deal with.”

“Boss, if you don’t want to say what issues you currently have, I’m not going to ask. Just send me your address, and I’ll send the people you asked for. Don’t worry; anyone that I choose will be quite capable. Just remember that you are still my boss, no matter where we are or when. Just tell me if you have anything you cannot deal with.”

“Thanks!” Thomas felt warm and touched. Friendships between men were as simple as that—no elaborate words were needed since simple sentences were much more meaningful than those.

“Why thank me when we’re so close? Are you belittling me? I’ll go over to Irieson to see you when I’m done with my current work. You’ll have to treat me to drinks then!”

“Alright!”

After hanging up, Thomas sent his address to his friend before settling on the couch and removing his shirt. He took some silver acupuncture needles and began treating himself via acupuncture even though he knew that it wouldn’t have much effect on his physical recovery. However, it was better than nothing, and he had to make full preparations for the next battle.

Thomas did not sleep the entire night and kept using the silver needles to stimulate the different pressure points on his body, only stopping when the sky had already brightened.

Crack! Crack!

After removing the needles, he stood up and rotated his joints, making his bones crack. This made him feel better, although acupuncture had a minuscule effect on his recovery, as he had thought. Well, it was better than nothing.

“The Hinds, the Yams, and the Xalmars… You forced me into this, so don’t blame me! If you like playing disgusting tricks, then I’ll play along with you!”

The corners of his mouth moved upwards to form a cold smile that looked terrifying. He might not be in his peak state right now and could not defeat them in close physical combat, but they should not forget that he had guns. When the King of Marksmen drew his gun, he would be the most terrifying God—the God of Death!

Thomas headed to the bathroom and cleaned himself up briefly before going into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. He had just finished making it when he received a message from Rafael. He hadn’t expected Rafael to be so efficient since he had just made the request the previous night. Rafael, however, had completed the arrangements today. The message was clear—the two experts would arrive in another hour. Anyone his friend called an expert wouldn’t be just a typical person and would be highly prized by any family in Irieson.

“Thomas, have you finished preparing breakfast?” Adam was the first to wake up and glanced at Thomas, who was already done with it.

“Yup. Come eat, Mr. Hahn.”

Adam waved his hand. “Not so fast. I’ll go for a walk first. You can all start eating. I’ll have my breakfast when I come back.”

He then left while humming a tune.

Soon, Chloe and Molly were awake as well and the three of them began eating breakfast at the table.

However, Molly looked distracted, the delicious food seemingly bland to her since her thoughts were entirely focused on Thomas. She stole glances at him from time to time, feeling conflicted. She had managed to find the courage to confess her feelings to him, yet something like that had happened before she could finish speaking. As such, she was debating if she should do it again. She wanted to but didn’t really dare since she had already used up all her courage the first time and doing it again would be draining. These assassins were so despicable!

She silently cursed the assassins who had barged into the house yesterday.

After breakfast, Thomas checked the time and got up. “I’m going out for a while.”

“Uh, Thomas—” Molly became frantic at the thought of him leaving, which meant that she wouldn’t have the chance to admit her feelings to him. However, her words were stuck inside her throat, and she couldn’t speak, leaving her no choice but to helplessly watch him leave.

“Hey!” He had just left the residential area when he saw a Range Rover parked nearby with two people beside it waving at him.

He approached them and stretched out his hand. “Hello.”

“Hello, Mr. Clifford.” They were extremely respectful toward him. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Thomas studied the two of them closely, delighted by what he saw. It was clear from the way they walked, as well as the light in their eyes, that they were the best of the best.
