I’m Someone Else

Chapter 48

The man was donned completely in black, as if blending in with the night. It was certain that he was an assassin. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Thomas did not panic at all. In his position, he was in the blind spot of the assassin’s vision, and as long as he did not make any big moves, they wouldn’t see him.

“F*ck! Where is he?” The assassin did not know that Thomas was observing him in the corner of the room and preparing to attack him, and he was still anxiously searching for Thomas.

As an assassin, he should’ve retreated after missing his shot. However, even after he continued to fire several shots, he still wasn’t able to touch a single strand of Thomas’ hair. Naturally, it wasn’t possible to remain calm. As an assassin ranked in the top five of the Assassin Ranking, if word of today’s incident got out, he would become a laughing stock.

Filled with resentment, he leaped down from the acacia tree and cautiously approached the building. He wanted to see the man who could dodge so many of his own shots in a row and wring his neck with his own hands.

Seeing this, Thomas smiled slightly. He wasn’t afraid of the man coming over, but rather, he was afraid that he would run away. As long as this assassin dared to walk into his house, Thomas had dozens of ways to end his life. The assassin had a gun while he was empty-handed, but he was confident that he wouldn’t give the assassin a single chance to pull the trigger.

Thomas silently arrived at the door, and in order to lure the assassin into his trap, he unlocked the door, waiting for the assassin to approach. As expected, with an SR-25 carried behind his back and a pistol in his hand, the killer quietly tip-toed in.

“Huh? Why isn’t anyone here?” The assassin glanced around the living room, suddenly getting a bad feeling. Just then, he returned to his senses with a jolt. Earlier, he was blinded by his ego, but he now

realized that if Thomas was able to dodge so many shots in a row, he must be even more skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and the assassin was just asking for trouble by breaking into his house.

At that thought, he turned around to leave, but it was already too late.

Smack! Out of nowhere, Thomas appeared and placed a hand on the barrel of the pistol, looking at the assassin with a smile on his face. “Since you’re already here, you should stay!”

The assassin panicked and prepared to shoot him, but Thomas would not let him have his way. With a hand, he grabbed the pistol while he easily pressed the assassin to the wall with his other hand.

“How much money did the Hind Family pay you to kill me?” Thomas asked coldly. Although he already had his suspicions, it was still better to make sure.

“Hmph!” The assassin did not give in and only scoffed coldly in response, not saying anything.

“I won’t bother to ask if you don’t want to tell me, and I’m not interested in how much money the Hind Family paid you either. Just from those two shots you fired earlier, even a fool can tell that you’re a professional assassin.”

Thomas knew that if the assassin in front of him had made up his mind not to say anything, and no matter how he asked, he would not be able to get an answer. As an assassin, the most important aspect was to be faithful, and no matter how much danger they were in, they must not betray any information about their employers, or they would not be able to survive in this line of work. Thomas understood this, but it did not mean he would let the assassin live. After all, he had already shown up to kill him, so he could not leave him alive.

Clack!

Thomas exerted force on his hand and immediately snapped the assassin’s neck, and the assassin’s breathing stopped as he glared at him with wide eyes. He unloaded the assassin’s gun and hid it under his bed, then found a sack to put the corpse in. After cleaning his house, he carried the sack and sauntered out of the house. He was sure that the assassin was not someone who could see the light of day, so even if he killed him, he didn’t have to worry about anything.

He drove to a remote riverside in Irieson and tossed the body off, then headed for the hospital.

As for the death of the assassin, the Hind Family only had disappointment ahead of them. After they had not heard from him for three days, they would definitely figure out what had happened. If he didn’t return and couldn’t be contacted, there would be only one reason—the mission had failed, and the assassin was dead. As long as the Hind Family weren’t idiots, they would not send another assassin to hunt Thomas down. After all, the assassin they hired was ranked among the top five in the Assassin Ranking, which meant that he was powerful, and if he died in Thomas’ hands, it was evident that hiring an assassin wouldn’t work anymore.

It didn’t take long for Thomas to arrive at the hospital, and he saw Chloe eating on the bench outside the ward.

“Is that… all you’re eating?” he asked, looking at the two buns in her hands.

“Yeah, I’m on a diet. I don’t need to eat much, and I’m not too hungry anyway. But, Thomas, why are you here? Did you come to see my father? Don’t worry. I’ve finished sending his food to him. He’s still recovering, so I served him vegetables and fruits.”

At the sight of her kind-heartedness, Thomas felt a pang in his heart and snatched the bun from her hand before throwing it into the trash.

“Hey! Thomas, you…”

“Come, I’ll take you to dinner!” Without waiting for Chloe to finish, Thomas dragged her out of the hospital. It was only 9.00PM, and the night life had just begun, so she had to have a proper meal. How could she only have two buns?

The two arrived at a five-star hotel and ordered four dishes.

“Thomas, t-this is a five-star hotel. It costs a lot of money!” Chloe turned pale at the thought of the money he would spend on this meal. She had heard of it even if she had not been to Haven Resort before. In this place, it was impossible to finish a meal without spending tens of thousands of Droylers.

Thomas waved his hand. “That’s not important. Don’t worry about it, so just eat.”

At first, Thomas intended to pick another five-star hotel, but this was the closest to the hospital, and he had to rush to the hospital to meet Chloe’s father after he finished eating, so he chose to come here instead. Not only would he treat her to a meal, but even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would find a way to pick them for her as he truly treated Chloe as his own sister.

Chloe never dreamed that she, a girl from a low-income family, would one day be able to sit and eat at this splendid five-star hotel. She even doubted that she was dreaming, and it wasn’t until the dishes were served that she was sure she wasn’t in a dream but that it was real.

Looking at Chloe’s exhausted yet pretty face, he didn’t know what to say and could only drink his tea. He had little interest in the food in front of him, as he wasn’t starving.
