I’m Someone Else

Chapter 25

Richard gave Thomas a long, thoughtful stare. Earlier on, Richard had studied the brooch that was stabbed into Olivia’s acupuncture point. Everything that Thomas did—from the accuracy he had to the strength he applied—was near-perfect. Furthermore, what shocked Richard the most was the angle at which Thomas had inserted the brooch. He had inserted it at a diagonal angle that allowed him to target two acupuncture points, which subsequently allowed him to stop the bleeding.

Judging by Thomas’ skills, he knew more than just one or two acupuncture points that helped to stop the bleeding. What puzzled Richard the most was how the young man before his eyes had minimized all his hard work when he had an obvious opportunity to take credit for whatever he did. “What’s going on here, Richard?” Norman asked.

“You need to thank this man. Olivia’s wound from the dagger had been really deep. If this young man hadn’t managed to stop her bleeding with the brooch, I’m afraid she might have lost too much blood before she even got to the hospital,” Richard explained.

“Ah! Well…” Norman was dumbfounded for a moment. So, Thomas isn’t the killer who hurt Olivia… He’s her savior! I got it wrong all along! I can’t believe we created such a huge fuss! Norman’s cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. This was the largest misunderstanding he had ever made in his 50 years of living.

After Thomas made sure that Olivia was well and healthy, he stood up to leave without saying much else. When he got to the ground floor of the hospital, he found Sean waiting for him in the car. “Did that old man, Norman, cause you any trouble, Thomas?” Sean had already given his father, Michael Morton, a call beforehand. Are you trying to assert dominance over me just with the use of your old age, Norman? You didn’t even give me a chance to explain myself, huh? Well, I’ll get my father to come over. Let’s see what you say then! Sean was angry just at the thought of what had happened in front of the emergency room earlier. He was furious—Norman was clearly bullying him!

“Don’t worry. It’s fine!” Thomas waved it off. However, Sean still seemed rather worried about the matter. He got out of the car and circled around Thomas to make sure that Thomas wasn’t injured before he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, Sean pulled his phone out and gave his father a call to tell his father that things were under control and that he no longer needed to come.

As Thomas saw this happening, he felt a surge of warmth in his chest. It seems like this guy did more than just sit around and wait for me, huh? He tried asking for backup, and he even approached his father for my sake. He was willing to risk his family’s reputation to fight for me! He’s truly my brother from another mother!

After both of them got in the car, Sean handed Thomas a cigarette before lighting it up for him. “Where should we go now, Thomas?”

Thomas’ eyes glinted icily as he took a look at the clock. “Let’s head back to Haven for now,” he ordered. After what happened with Nate, Thomas felt like he had learned a new lesson. Whenever someone doesn’t know their limits and crosses their boundaries, I have to do something that scares them. It’s like how one would have to kick a dog when it’s charging at you, just to teach it not to bite you the next time!

It was evident that Thomas had been too nice to Nate in the past—the worst thing he had ever done was just to break Nate’s fingers. That might have been a good-enough lesson for any other person, but it wasn’t threatening enough for a man like Nate, who had seen so much of the world. So, this time, Thomas wanted Nate to be thoroughly terrified!

Soon enough, they arrived at Haven Resort & Spa. William was already waiting for them at the front entrance. “Where’s he?” Thomas asked.

“I’ve sent all of Nate’s men to the station, and I’m sure the police will have their fun with them. Nate, on the other hand, is locked in a room. I’ve told my men to teach him a lesson.” William wasn’t pleased byProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

the situation. He had waited for a long while just for Thomas to be back from the military, and he had intended to host a meal for Thomas at his very own hotel. I can’t believe Nate, that annoying pest, showed up and ruined my plans! He deserves to suffer! How dare he mess with Thomas on my grounds?! He’s killing my vibe!

William brought Thomas and Sean over to a private room. They walked in to find Nate with his wrists secured firmly onto a chair with some thick hemp ropes. Nate’s face looked badly beaten up. It was just as William had said—William’s men had already taught Nate a lesson, and it seemed like they had taught him a pretty severe lesson…

“Who are you staring at, f*cker?!” William lost his temper when he saw Nate glaring at Thomas. He stepped forward to give Nate a tight slap. Meanwhile, Thomas dragged a chair over to sit down in front of Nate. “I beat up one of your men, Wallace, because he deserved it. He said the wrong things. You, on the other hand…” Thomas took a glance at Nate’s hands. “I broke your fingers the last time, but it seems like that wasn’t enough! I can’t believe you’re challenging me again!”

“F*ck! You b*stard! If you’re that brave, why don’t you set me free?! I swear to God, I’m going to make you pay for this!” Nate shouted. At this point, Nate figured that he wasn’t going to play nice any longer. There’s no point in lowering my voice, anyway. I might as well be firm with my stance. Maybe I could scare them into setting me free, right?

Clearly, Nate was too innocent for his own good. He treated Droycore’s King of Marksmen as a regular person, and he thought that he could use his thug ways to scare Thomas. If any other gangs had heard about this matter, they would have fallen to the ground from laughing too hard! “You imbecile! How dare you threaten Thomas?!” Both Sean and William were hot-tempered men, and they were even angrier after hearing what Nate said. Do you think Haven is your house? How dare you treat us like thin air?! You must have a death wish!

“Don’t move.” Thomas held his arm out to hold William and Sean back. Then, he pulled a cigarette out from his pocket and placed it between Nate’s lips before lighting it up. All of a sudden, Nate started laughing in Thomas’ face. It was a loud, hearty laugh. I was right. My plan worked! I managed to scare him, didn’t I? Why else would he give me a cigarette? It’s great that he feels threatened. That means he’ll let me go! I won’t forget this man’s face, and I’m going to gather more of my men to attack you someday. I’d like to see how arrogant you can get when that happens!

“You should set me free now, young man. I won’t kill you since you gave me a cigarette. At most, I might set you free after paralyzing your limbs. If you don’t let me go now, I’m going to make sure you watch while that sister of yours gets raped by all of my men!” Just the thought of Chloe made Nate excited. She’s such a gorgeous young lady. She’s both innocent and pretty! Just the thought of having her in bed makes me aroused. Well, after I recover from my injuries, I’m going to hunt her down. I need to have some fun with her!

Thomas frowned upon hearing Nate’s words. A threatening aura filled the air without any warning, and even William and Sean staggered backward without them realizing it. Every individual had sensitive spots that would trigger their temper. For Thomas, his sensitive spot was none other than his sister, Chloe!

Thomas shot to his feet before sending a powerful punch directly toward Nate’s face!
