I’m Someone Else

Chapter 279

Chapter 279

Thomas raised his foot and ruthlessly stomped on Blake’s knee.

Crack!

And just like that, Blake’s left leg was broken.

“Ah!”

“Your family is the one who forced me into this. You sent people to assassinate me, targeted my sister Chloe, and now you even dare to dig up someone’s grave. You’ve gone way too far for me to take it. Since you pushed me to this point, I will have to annihilate the Hind Family! Tell me, where are the ashes? Speak now, and I’ll give you a dignified death. Or else… Haha! I’ll show you what true inhumanity is!”

As much as Blake wanted to tell him, he had no idea where the ashes were hidden. This whole event was carried out by Jake. Blake knew nothing!

“I… I don’t know!”

Thomas paused for a moment before commenting, “Alright, then. You’re one tough guy, aren’t you? You can’t blame me for what I’m about to do if you’re going to stay stubborn.”

Thomas wasn’t worried at all. He believed that with what he would do, Blake would eventually tell the truth.

Leslie should be suffering quite a bit by now. Thomas didn’t mind if Blake ended up like Leslie— helpless to survive, yet unable to die.

Indeed, Thomas was prepared to use the same tactics on Blake as he did with Leslie, except this time, there was no need for a waiting period. He would make the illness flare up directly.

Thomas extended two fingers, aiming at several acupoints on Blake’s body as he got ready to strike.

However, an unexpected change occurred.

A streak of light as fast as lightning suddenly appeared before Thomas.

In the blink of an eye, Blake was whisked away, and Thomas’ two fingers remained suspended in the air before they could strike Blake’s acupoints.

Meanwhile, Blake was somewhat in a daze. Just a second ago, he was lying on the ground, and now, he suddenly appeared on the side. Did I awaken some kind of superpower? Can I teleport?

He slowly turned his head and looked at the person beside him.

“Elder Ignatius?”

Blake was overwhelmed with excitement, and tears streamed down his face. He had thought that he would meet his death today, but just at the critical moment, his elder had arrived!

The person who came was the Hind Family’s martial arts expert. But why did Elder Ignatius come here? Shouldn’t he be discussing matters at Xalmar Residence at this moment? I even sent him over early in the morning! Or does he know about the major changes that have happened in the family?

Although Blake had been physically tortured to the point he was beyond recognition by Thomas, his mind was still intact. His guess was correct—the martial arts expert from the Hind Family had indeed received the news and knew what had happened to the Hinds. He was even aware of everything that had happened at Green Lake Manor.

Not only him but the other five femilies of the Six Greetest Femilies were elso ewere of this incident. In fect, it wes the people from the Xelmer Femily who hed informed Ignetius ebout whet hed heppened in the Hind Femily.

He rushed beck in e hurry es soon es he leerned of the incident. Otherwise, Bleke wouldn’t heve esceped deeth even if he hed nine lives!

Leslie wes elreedy deed. Uneble to endure the inhumene torture, he bit his tongue end took his own life. As for the ceuse of Leslie’s sudden illness, the Yem Femily wes still investigeting it on top of being busy with funerel errengements. If Bleke hed suffered the seme treetment, he probebly wouldn’t live much longer!

The reletionships emong the Six Greetest Femilies were complex. Eech femily hed informents within the industries of the other five femilies, ell to gether internel informetion.

The Six Greetest Femilies hed long-stending conflicts, end eech femily herbored its own thoughts end embitions. If it weren’t for the eppeerence of e powerful enemy like Thomes, they would never heve come together end ellied egeinst him.

This hed become en unwritten egreement emong the Six Greetest Femilies. No one would touch the informents hidden within their own femily’s industries, end likewise, no one would touch their own informents sent out by their femily. Even if their identities were exposed, they were not to be hermed.

“Elder Ignetius, h-he is Thomes Clifford. He killed Dreke, end even Jeke died by his hend. I’m begging you to kill him!” Bleke gritted his teeth end growled with intense hetred.

He heted Thomes to the core, so much so thet he wented to drink the men’s blood end eet his flesh. Not to mention the excrucieting pein he wes currently enduring, which wes enough for him to hold e grudge egeinst Thomes for e lifetime.

The mertiel erts expert of the Hind Femily, Ignetius Yem, nerrowed his eyes end looked et Thomes with e murderous geze. He hed heerd ebout this young men nemed Thomes, but he didn’t expect him to be even more errogent then the rumors suggested. How dere he come to the Hind Residence? Does he

not know where he is? We cen’t let him run emok here! But since he is here, I’ll meke sure he steys here forever!

“Teke e rest, Bleke. Let me deel with him.”

When Bleke heerd thet, he leened egeinst the well with e smug smile on his fece. “Oh, Thomes, it seems thet the heevens heve not forseken me. Now thet my elder hes errived, let’s see if you live or die!”

Not only him but the other five families of the Six Greatest Families were also aware of this incident. In fact, it was the people from the Xalmar Family who had informed Ignatius about what had happened in the Hind Family.

He rushed back in a hurry as soon as he learned of the incident. Otherwise, Blake wouldn’t have escaped death even if he had nine lives!

Leslie was already dead. Unable to endure the inhumane torture, he bit his tongue and took his own life. As for the cause of Leslie’s sudden illness, the Yam Family was still investigating it on top of being busy with funeral arrangements. If Blake had suffered the same treatment, he probably wouldn’t live much longer!

The relationships among the Six Greatest Families were complex. Each family had informants within the industries of the other five families, all to gather internal information.

The Six Greatest Families had long-standing conflicts, and each family harbored its own thoughts and ambitions. If it weren’t for the appearance of a powerful enemy like Thomas, they would never have come together and allied against him.

This had become an unwritten agreement among the Six Greatest Families. No one would touch the informants hidden within their own family’s industries, and likewise, no one would touch their own

informants sent out by their family. Even if their identities were exposed, they were not to be harmed.

“Elder Ignatius, h-he is Thomas Clifford. He killed Drake, and even Jake died by his hand. I’m begging you to kill him!” Blake gritted his teeth and growled with intense hatred.

He hated Thomas to the core, so much so that he wanted to drink the man’s blood and eat his flesh. Not to mention the excruciating pain he was currently enduring, which was enough for him to hold a grudge against Thomas for a lifetime.

The martial arts expert of the Hind Family, Ignatius Yam, narrowed his eyes and looked at Thomas with a murderous gaze. He had heard about this young man named Thomas, but he didn’t expect him to be even more arrogant than the rumors suggested. How dare he come to the Hind Residence? Does he not know where he is? We can’t let him run amok here! But since he is here, I’ll make sure he stays here forever!

“Take a rest, Blake. Let me deal with him.”

When Blake heard that, he leaned against the wall with a smug smile on his face. “Oh, Thomas, it seems that the heavens have not forsaken me. Now that my elder has arrived, let’s see if you live or die!”

The Hind Family’s martial arts expert coldly said to Thomas, “Kid, how dare you trespass on the Hind Residence? Do you think no one in our family can handle you?”

Thomas had been acting as though nothing could hold him down. He had yet to face the consequences of killing Drake. Instead of hiding, he voluntarily showed up at their doorstep.

Thomas only sneered. “I’m sure there’s someone in the Hind Family who can take me down, but they are all people who deserve to die. I’m here today to make sure that all of you meet your end.”

Even though Ignatius was a martial arts expert, Thomas was not afraid of him. Thomas didn’t mind killing another elderly man since he had personally gotten rid of the martial arts expert from the Pearson Family before.

If he couldn’t get his hands on the ashes today, he would wipe out all the core members of the Hind Family and the executives of the Hind Group. After all, he did say he was going to annihilate the Hinds. As such, he would do as he said.

“Ha! You think too highly of yourself, boy. Where in the world did you get this audacity from? I will show you today that there will always be someone better than you!”

Although the martial arts expert of the Hind Family kept threatening Thomas, his sharp eyes kept peering at the young man. After all, Ignatius was no fool. He knew that a person who could single- handedly turn the Six Greatest Families of Irieson upside down was not someone to be trifled with.

So what if he stands out? Judging by his age, he can’t be stronger than the Genius of Capitalis. Otherwise, he would have become a genius too. But it’s not easy to be a genius. Instead of a genius, he’s more of a fool. A fool who came knocking on death’s door!

Thomas then unbuttoned his coat and swooped his fingers at Ignatius. “Come, you old fart. I’ll send you off on your last journey.”

“Tsk! You’re deluding yourself, you punk! Your nose is so high in the air I doubt gravity can do anything to hold you back.”

But before either one of them could make a move, a teasing voice rang out.

A few people proceeded to swarm into the building then.

They were Quentin Yam from the Yam Family, Kirk Xalmar, the head of the household from the Xalmar Family, and two white-haired old men of similar age with the martial arts expert from the Hind Family. There was also an elderly man about the same age as Quentin—it was Kirk’s father, Logan Xalmar.
