I’m Someone Else

Chapter 303

Chapter 303

In his mind, Thomas continuously calculated the specific steps for tomorrow’s process of toning up his body. He also pondered various contingency plans because, after all, life was precious, and he didn’t want to die, especially not at this critical juncture.

When morning came, he woke up and prepared breakfast. After eating with Olivia, he dropped her off at the entrance of Keyshire Property.

“Here, this is the car key. I promised you before that I would accompany you to buy a good car, but due to various reasons and your not-so-good driving skills, we didn’t get around to it. Please take good care of my car. I hope it remains intact when I come back.”

Thomas decided to break the tension with a joke. The atmosphere was too oppressive and he wanted to lighten it.

Olivia blushed and took the car key. “Don’t worry, I won’t damage your ride. I hope you come back to be my driver.”

Thomas nodded with a smile and said unwittingly, “Of course. I will be your driver for a lifetime.”

“Okay.”

Upon hearing this, Olivia’s face lit up with a sweet smile.

“Well, I’m going in.”

“Go ahead, but don’t overwork yourself.”

“Alright.”

Olivia entered the office building, but instead of taking the elevator to her office, she looked back through the glass window with deep reluctance. She only turned away when she saw Thomas getting into a Mercedes-Benz.

Thomas sat in the Mercedes-Benz, occasionally glancing back in the direction of the Keyshire Property building. Although Samuel was old, he had seen enough of the world. How could he not know Thomas’ cautious intentions?

“Thomas, don’t worry. This time, the Peralta Family’s secret force will be responsible for protecting Olivia. They are all trained by our own family, and although not as powerful as you, they are formidable opponents in this city.”

This time, Samuel spared no expense. Those people were the elite forces of the Peralta Family, and the same went for those from the Morton Family. In order to reassure Thomas, they revealed their true strength.

“Thank you.” Thomas sincerely expressed his gratitude.

The medicinal herbs and tub had already been delivered to the Acketts Estate. Thomas just needed to go there himself.

Soon, the car arrived at the outskirts of Irieson, and a magnificent luxury mansion that surpassed Green Lake Manor owned by Jake Hind appeared before Thomas’ eyes. In his mind, Thomas continuously calculated the specific steps for tomorrow’s process of toning up his body. He also pondered various contingency plans because, after all, life was precious, and he didn’t want to die, especially not at this critical juncture.

“This is it.” Samuel pointed at the mansion in front of them. To ensure that Thomas wouldn’t be disturbed by the outside world, he arranged for three teams to guard the place. Each team was made up of five people and they would be on duty around the clock.

“Thomas, we prepared everything as you requested.”

As soon as Thomas got out of the car, William greeted him.

Thomas entered the villa accompanied by Samuel and William.

“William, remember to have someone deliver meals to the doorstep every day. No need to knock on the door, and don’t let anyone else get close,” Thomas instructed.

“Yes, inform the guards here that no one should approach the estate for five days. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed without mercy!”

William nodded. “Grandad, Thomas, you can rest assured.”

Even if his grandad didn’t remind him, William would never allow anyone to disturb Thomas. In his eyes, Thomas was his leader. Anyone who dared to harm Thomas would be dealt with without any hesitation.

Samuel nodded. “Go on. Take a look around, and check if there are any loopholes.”

William turned and left.

After his grandson’s figure disappeared from sight, Samuel embraced Thomas. “Thomas, take care! I hope to see you make the entire Irieson tremble in fear after five days!”

Thomas was momentarily stunned, but then, he quickly realized that Samuel, at his age, had seen it all. He must have discerned something from the preparations Thomas had made.

“Old Mr. Peralta, I entrust Olivia and Chloe to you.”

Thomas couldn’t put into words the emotions he felt at this moment—helplessness, reluctance, and a hint of excitement mixed with anxiety.

“Don’t worry!”

After releasing Thomas, Samuel turned around and walked out of the villa. He shouted to the people within the estate, “Listen up! From this moment on, only the meal delivery personnel are allowed to approach this villa. Nobody else, no matter who they are, is permitted to come near! If anyone is loitering around the estate, regardless of their purpose or background, kill them all!”

“Yes, sir!”

The thunderous response demonstrated their determination!

William and Sean cleared their schedules and personally led the guards to protect Thomas during these five days.

William and Sean might not know the exact purpose of Thomas, but they could infer something from their grandads’ words. This critical moment called for both of them to step forward and work together closely!

In the villa, Thomas first took a tour to familiarize himself with its layout.

All the medicinal herbs and other materials he needed had been placed in the largest bedroom at William’s orders. Thomas was dumbfounded when he walked in.

The quantity of the medicinal herbs he purchased was excessive since they formed a large pile on the floor.

Thomas squatted down and unpacked the medicinal herbs one by one, then placed them into the tub that was already filled with water. He then arranged charcoal blocks underneath the tub and ignited them.

Even these charcoal blocks were specially ordered by William, with a quick temperature rise without smoke or odor. Just these blocks alone cost the Peralta Family a six-figure sum.

An hour later, the water in the tub was boiling. Thomas had already placed all the required medicinal herbs in it except for the main herb—the Century Lotus.

The Century Lotus prevented the user from succumbing to fevers, while the other medicinal herbs, such as Rhodiola rosea, regulated the body’s temperature. The herbs of this concoction complemented each other.

Thomas tossed the Century Lotus into the tub, then undressed and immersed himself in it.

Hiss!

As soon as he entered the tub, Thomas sucked in a breath of cold air. The water was boiling, and if an ordinary person were to touch it, let alone soak in it, it would be unbearable.

However, Thomas endured it with his superhuman perseverance. He wasn’t afraid of scalding himself because these medicinal herbs would be sufficient to heal his scorched skin if the process of toning up his body succeeded.

This was only the lightest consequence of the process of toning up his body. As the process continued, Thomas would face even greater challenges and torment that were more agonizing than the scorching heat.

Soon, Thomas’ entire body turned fiery red. From a distance, he looked like a person engulfed in flames.

His eyes were tightly shut, so he didn’t know that the Century Lotus had started emitting a dazzling white light!
