I’m Someone Else

Chapter 289

Chapter 289

If it were before, Quincy wouldn’t mind swallowing his pride and going to Leah for a discussion. But now, it was impossible. They had completely fallen out. Even if he begged Leah, she might not be willing to help.

“Leah has a way?” Thomas’ expression froze. It wasn’t just Quincy; he didn’t know how to approach Leah either.

Although Thomas was young, his eyes were sharp and ruthless. Based on his understanding of Leah, if he went to her at this moment, she would definitely humiliate him and wouldn’t genuinely help Olivia. That old witch would undoubtedly seek some unfair demands.

Quincy nodded firmly. “She must have a solution!”

Click!

Thomas lit another cigarette as he furrowed his brow in thought.

Should he really go beg Leah? It was not just about his humiliation. That old witch had ulterior motives toward Olivia in the first place. It was unlikely she would sincerely help Olivia, right? In that case, Leah would definitely make unreasonable demands.

If he couldn’t rely on Leah, he would just have to confront the old monsters behind the Six Greatest Families!

Even if it meant death, so what? What was there to fear?

He couldn’t simply let go and do nothing about Olivia. Since that was the case, it was simple. It would be a fight to the death! Even if their strength was unfathomable and even if their background was strong, it didn’t matter.

Even in the face of great danger, he would march forward!

True heroism was revealed in towering waves, and Noah’s Ark was forged through hardships and difficulties!

A sense of liberalism appeared on Thomas’ face after he thought about it, and he seemed much more relaxed.

“Dr. Hofstead, I’ve only heard that the Six Greatest Families have a tradition for sacrifice. Who exactly are they sacrificing to? And why?”

Quincy shook his head helplessly. “This question has truly stumped me. To be honest, I was also puzzled by it before. I even sent people to investigate this matter. The investigation started ten years ago, but after ten years, we still haven’t obtained any information. All I know is that the sacrifices are taken away by those six old monsters, but we have no clue where they go.”

Quincy had to admit that those six old monsters were extremely good at keeping secrets. The people he sent to infiltrate their ranks couldn’t gather the slightest bit of information.

“Then so be it!” Thomas stood up. He had a broad perspective on things. In the end, knowing the reasons and who they were offering the sacrifices wouldn’t affect the outcome. He just needed to find a way to deal with the difficulties at hand. As for the reasons and the recipients of the sacrifice, it didn’t matter.

He felt a bit tired. He had just retrieved the ashes of Chloe’s mother, and now the Six Greatest Families had brought forward the date of the sacrifice. It seemed that he was destined to be constantly busy without any time to rest.

He then walked toward the door and prepared to leave.

However, just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Quincy, who was behind him.

“Thomas!”

“Hmm?” Thomas turned around as he looked at Quincy in confusion. Hadn’t they already said everything that needed to be said? What else did Quincy want to say?

“In ten days, I will fight alongside you. Come to think of it, I’ve been dormant for many years. This time, I want to formally come out of retirement and fight side by side with you!” Quincy’s expression was resolute. He had made this decision in his heart even before Thomas arrived.

There was little hope for Leah’s assistance. Thomas could only choose to confront those old monsters head-on. As Thomas’ old friend, Quincy naturally had to lend a hand and have a showdown with those old monsters!

A touched expression appeared on Thomas’ face after he heard this. He walked up to Quincy, raised his arms, and tightly embraced this world-renowned doctor.

“Dr. Hofstead, we are old friends. I appreciate your kindness, but this matter is extremely dangerous. You shouldn’t involve yourself any further. I’ll handle it myself. By the way, please keep this secret for me. I don’t want my brothers to get caught up in this mess.”

If Sean and William were to find out about this, they would definitely stand on Thomas’ side without hesitation and confront the Six Greatest Families head-on given their personalities and character. Both of them were heirs in their respective families. When that happened, the Morton Family and the Peralta Family would also be embroiled in this turmoil, and the situation would only escalate.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell them.” Quincy nodded, indicating that he understood Thomas’ intention.

Thomas smiled, turned around, and left. His calm demeanor made it seem as if he weren’t facing terrifying old monsters but rather insignificant individuals who weren’t worth mentioning.

“Thomas, you have treated me well, and I remember the kindness you’ve shown me. In this world, people like you who value loyalty and righteousness are hard to come across these days!” Quincy muttered to himself as he looked in the direction Thomas had left.

Quincy had made up his mind to step out of retirement. Even if Thomas was against his idea, Thomas couldn’t stop him. Although their acquaintance wasn’t long, he never forgot Thomas’ great kindness and favor.

To someone like him, who was devoted to studying medicine, the ”The Imperial Acupuncture” was an invaluable treasure. Thomas giving him this ancient book was equivalent to giving him a tremendous opportunity. How could he not be grateful?

“If a young man like Thomas, who has a bright future, isn’t afraid of death, what do I, a middle-aged man, have to fear? Just you wait, you old monsters! I will teach all six of you a lesson!” Quincy’s eyes emitted a sharp light.

Meanwhile, Thomas was immersed in deep thought. He was prepared to fight the Six Greatest Families to death, but he also considered how to resolve the current troubles while ensuring his survival.

Upon returning to Keyshire Property, he had to maintain the appearance that nothing had happened. He couldn’t let Olivia detect anything.

Even when Olivia was busy with work, she would occasionally look up at Thomas. As long as this man was sitting on the couch in front of her, she would feel an immense sense of peace.

He couldn’t help but notice her gaze. He had sensed it before, but he always pretended not to notice.

His heart ached. Olivia was still unaware of her fate. If she found out, he couldn’t imagine how heartbroken she would be. She would become a sacrifice, subjected to humiliation and drained of her blood, and would become a corpse!

Worst of all, all of this was arranged by her own relatives!

If she found out, she might lose her mind, wouldn’t she?

At 6.00PM, Molly packed up her belongings and left.

Initially, she wanted to ask Thomas out, but with Olivia present, she felt too embarrassed to speak up, especially since she was quite shy, to begin with.
