I’m Someone Else

Chapter 318

“Yeah. We’re the perfect guys for this job.”

“But before that, I’m going to see the Denvers. Damn that Harrison. Is his head full of sh*t? I can’t believe he’d lure Olivia out and send her to Capitalis!” John cursed.

Raymond and Quincy exchanged a look of disbelief. John might be a straightforward man, but he would never curse. He would never use any profanity, but something more shocking followed.

Samuel smacked the couch and shot up. “Yeah! We’ve been fighting our butts off, and instead of helping us, he made things even worse. F*ck him! I’m coming with you, John. If that old b*stard ain’t going to explain himself, I’m going to whoop him until his *ss is grass!”

John’s reminder stoked Samuel’s flame of fury, and he would take it out on Harrison before he went to Capitalis.

With their minds set on teaching Harrison a lesson, the pair left the office together.

“Um…”

“Are they going to…”

Quincy and Raymond didn’t finish their sentences. They had no idea what to say. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t believe the respectable John and Samuel could be so thuggish. They didn’t even look like the leaders of two families but ruffians.

Quincy and Raymond saw them off. They knew that if Harrison failed to explain himself, he would have hell to pay.

The Flynn Residence was bustling with life and packed to the brim with people, but that was not good news. The guests who came were there for Olivia. They were none other than Quincy’s students and

friends. This was a force to be reckoned with, and they were furious after they were told of Quincy’s announcement.

They could understand why Quincy left after he got himself in trouble, but coming out of retirement would mean pushing himself back into danger. They couldn’t understand why he would do that when he finally managed to escape to Irieson. After some asking around, they found out that the Flynns were the reason for this.

And so, these people directed their fury at the Flynn Family. They didn’t even start with any formalities. Everyone told them they were here to take Olivia back, and they wanted to hear the Flynns’ terms.

Theodore was one of the people who came, and he was the only one who knew of Olivia’s background.

While Capitalis was having a busy day, Quincy was pacing around his office. When he asked his friends and students for help, he told them to come back with a report as soon as possible no matter what the results were. If everything went well, the Flynns would give in to pressure and hand Olivia over, then John and the others wouldn’t have to make the trip to Capitalis.

The phone rang, and Quincy picked it up from the desk and answered it. “How did it go?”

The one who called was Theodore, Quincy’s pride and joy. “Sir, the Flynns are adamant about not giving her back. But don’t worry, they’ve promised they won’t touch her, at least not at the moment. I’ve had my men keeping an eye on her, making sure she won’t get hurt.”

Quincy heaved a long sigh of relief. As long as she’s fine, everything’s good. Guess the Flynns are strict and didn’t let Gunnar do whatever he wanted. Otherwise, if Thomas comes back and finds out that Olivia was violated, he’s going to raise hell. “Do your best. Make sure nothing happens to Olivia. Keep the pressure on.”

“Of course, sir.”

“Yeah.”

Quincy was about to hang up, but Theodore said, “Sir.”

“What is it, Theodore?”

“I’m sorry,” said Theodore solemnly. He blamed himself for failing to protect Quincy’s family. Quincy was in Irieson, so he could do nothing, but Theodore was in Capitalis. He thought he should’ve been able to do something.

Quincy wobbled for a moment, tears glistening in his eyes. Even without Theodore saying anything, he knew why his student was apologizing. “This isn’t your fault, Theodore. Don’t think too much about it.”

Quincy hung up. This is fate, perhaps. I can blame no one but myself. I was too arrogant in my youth, and that drew the hidden forces’ attention.

“How’s Thomas doing, Mr. Elliott?” Quincy asked, almost nonchalant.

“Still in training. Not sure about the details, since he only told Samuel about it before he went into training, and he didn’t even elaborate.”

“I see.” Quincy nodded. “Don’t tell him about Olivia’s case, or he’s going to end training prematurely to save her. You know what he’s like. If that happens, all his efforts would’ve been for nothing.”

Raymond nodded. “I understand. I’ll tell the guys.”

Weird sounds were echoing in the estate—eerie and hair-raising sounds.

Thomas was in a big tub, his eyes closed. Those sounds were coming to him, and he could hear it. His bones were making those sounds. The body toning had entered its most crucial stage: bone tempering.

On a closer look, all the wounds on Thomas’ body had formed scabs, and some of the spots that healed faster had grown new skin. Skin as smooth and supple as a baby’s.

The screeching of the bones was hair-raising, but Thomas wasn’t afraid. Every step of this process was done according to the old man’s manual. If he could temper his bones successfully, his strength would improve by leaps and bounds. Coupling with his incredible marksmanship, he could probably face the old monsters.

Still, something else surprised him. It was a change in his body. The strand of air in his elixir field was slowly growing. It used to be nothing but a gust of wind, but now it was flowing like a little stream. What is this? Am I afflicted with something? Unable to come up with an answer, Thomas ignored it. Everything could wait until his body toning was done.
