I’m Someone Else

Chapter 363

“I just received the news that the Flynn and the Wilkerson families have sent people to Irieson to suppress Keyshire Property. They want to make sure Mr. Clifford can’t survive in Irieson! Grandpa, this is getting serious. The Flynn Family’s business in Irieson is not much less than our family’s, and to make matters worse, that old hag Leah is getting in the way too. Now that the Six Greatest Families are completely gone, the commercial market in Irieson is in a vacuum period. It should be easy for the Wilkerson Family to establish themselves here though they don’t have many businesses in Irieson!” Colby spoke indignantly. What the hell is this? Didn’t they agree to settle their differences in the Ancient Martial Arts Family Ranking Competition in a year? And yet, those two families sneakily went to Irieson to cause trouble for Thomas. This is a breach of trust! Not to mention that the retaliation from the Flynn and Wilkerson families against Thomas has gone beyond just using force. They even want to take action against Keyshire Property. This is a blatant attempt to destroy Thomas!

Hearing Colby’s words, even Gwen couldn’t help but feel taken aback. She understood that the situation was indeed serious if what her husband said was true.

Even if the Travis Family wanted to protect Thomas, it wasn’t like they could stop other families from doing business in Irieson. Business competitions were different from martial arts fights; it wasn’t about who had the stronger fist but who had the sharper mind. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

The Travis Family couldn’t help Thomas even if they wanted to. Leaving aside the ancient martial arts families’ agreement, the combined strength of the Flynn and Wilkerson families in the business field might be greater than the Travis Family could handle!

Not only the Travises received news of the Six Greatest Families being forcefully eradicated by Thomas, but the Flynns and Wilkersons also heard it. This made them even more wary of Thomas. If he already had such terrifying strength now, what would happen if they gave him another year to grow freely? It was simply unimaginable! No, even if they couldn’t openly take action against Thomas this year, they couldn’t let him have an easy time either!

After some investigation, they discovered that the real estate giant, Keyshire Property, which was built single-handedly by Rafael, was now under Olivia’s ownership!

The Flynns and Wilkersons immediately joined forces, swearing to eliminate Thomas, who was their major hidden threat. Even if they couldn’t kill him, they would make him bankrupt and reduce him to a pauper!

Presently, Gwen suggested, “How about I inform my family in Irieson? My family also has businesses there.”

She came from a southern commercial family whose business acumen was not inferior to the Travises.

Colby nodded approvingly; he was determined to help Thomas as much as he could. He already thought of Thomas as his friend just because Thomas had shown great generosity by teaching him three unique techniques.

Gwen’s and Colby’s eyes were on Kyrie as they waited for his decision.

Meanwhile, Kyrie shook his head. “There’s no need to rush with this. Keyshire Property is a dominant force in Irieson. How easy would it be for the Flynns and Wilkersons to bring them down? Not to mention the fact that the Morton and the Peralta families are also supporting Thomas. Those are both considerably powerful forces! Let Emily stay in Irieson. If there’s any critical situation on Thomas’ side, ask her to report to us immediately!”

“Yes!” Colby nodded and took out his phone to give his sister a call.

Since Gunnar suffered serious injuries from Thomas’ attack, Reuben naturally wouldn’t let Thomas off easily. Moreover, now that Olivia was no longer a sacrifice, the Flynn Family desperately needed a woman with outstanding business acumen like her. As Quincy said, “There is no room for sentiment in big families; all that matters is self-interest.”

No matter how one looked at it, marrying Olivia would greatly benefit the Flynn Family.

It was even more apparent how Leah felt about this. After Thomas severely injured her in front of so many people, not to mention that Olivia humiliated her, Leah wanted nothing more than to get rid of both of them. She wouldn’t hesitate to harm Olivia just because she was her granddaughter. From beginning to end, Leah never truly considered Olivia as her granddaughter; Olivia was merely a tool she used to gain benefits.

Kyrie shook his head and sighed. “The Flynns… Just wait and see. With the pressure you’ve put on them, I’m afraid you won’t last until the Ancient Martial Arts Family Ranking Competition that’s happening in a year. Thomas will likely slaughter you all!”

He didn’t doubt Thomas’ abilities or think that Thomas giving himself air in the arena was just empty talk.

Everyone talked about how powerful Minacia Oito Irieson and the Six Greatest Families of Irieson were, but in the end, they were all crushed under Thomas’ feet and ruthlessly defeated.

Kyrie believed that a young man with boundless potential like Thomas would undoubtedly become someone great as long as he was given enough room to grow.

Kyrie believed that a young man with boundless potential like Thomas would undoubtedly become someone great as long as he was given enough room to grow.

After all, the elderly folks were not to be humiliated while the young could never be underestimated.

From the day the Flynns and Wilkersons became Thomas’ enemies, their tragic fate was sealed.

…

The next morning, Thomas drove Olivia to Keyshire Property after breakfast.

Thomas was in a good mood because Olivia had finally escaped the fate of being a sacrifice. From now on, she could truly live the life she wanted.

As for Crimson Moon, even if they wanted revenge, they would surely come after him first. However, it didn’t matter what tricks they had. He would face them head-on. As long as they didn’t harm the people around him, Thomas had nothing to fear.

He didn’t know why, but ever since he listened to Chloe’s words yesterday, his heart would unconsciously beat faster, and he would even blush shyly every time he faced Olivia. It seemed like he had truly fallen in love with her.

Meanwhile, Olivia seemed to notice the difference in Thomas as well, as she kept staring at him throughout the journey.

“Olivia, why do you keep looking at me?” Thomas asked when he couldn’t take it anymore.

It was so early in the morning, and yet Thomas was flushed red the whole time like he had a fever.

“Because you’re handsome, that’s why! I can’t get enough of looking at you. You’re the most handsome man in the whole world to me. Is it because I’m looking at you with loving eyes?” Olivia teased, setting aside her previous bashfulness.

She had made up her mind. From this day on, she would officially pursue Thomas. He was her man, and she wouldn’t give any other woman a chance!

Shortly after Thomas left yesterday, Chloe also departed. Before leaving, the woman had said something meaningful to her.

“I wish you and Thomas happiness!”

Olivia couldn’t sleep well the entire night after that as she pondered the meaning behind Chloe’s words. Did she and Thomas have a private conversation? If so, does it mean that Thomas has feelings for me too?

The more Olivia thought about it, the more likely it seemed to her that was the case, especially when she noticed Thomas’ shy expression whenever she stared at him. This only reinforced her suspicion and made her bolder in her pursuit.
