I’m Someone Else

Chapter 324

“Pfft! Haha!” Gwen froze for a moment when she first saw the way that Olivia reacted. Soon enough, Gwen managed to figure out what was going on in Olivia’s mind. They were both women, after all, and Gwen knew just what Olivia was thinking about. “Hey, young lady. You don’t think Gunnar, that nasty man, was the one who changed your clothes for you, right? Hah! Do you think Gunnar would do that with you?” Gwen couldn’t stop herself from bursting out with laughter.

This silly girl is too naive! She’d feel a difference if she turned from a girl into a woman, right? How could she assume that she had been violated just because her clothes had been changed? Gwen thought.

“Oh, you… You’re making a fool out of me!” Olivia felt her cheeks turning red after she heard what Gwen said.

Olivia was a natural beauty, and she looked even prettier with a bashful look on her face. Even Gwen couldn’t help but take a liking to the girl. Gwen sat down by the edge of the bed before she reached for Olivia’s smooth and slim hand. They started to talk about Olivia’s history, and they ended up chatting for nearly four hours!

“Oh! You shouldn’t be too sad, Olivia. Those relatives of yours might not be nice people, but you’re still a reputable girl!” Gwen felt extremely sorry for Olivia after hearing all that she had to go through. She’s such a precious young lady. Why do the heavens have to treat her so harshly?

“Hmm?” Olivia was confused. “What makes you say that, Gwen? Reputation? What reputation do I have?”

“I bet you don’t know this, Olivia. Ever since you were brought over to the Flynn Family in Capitalis, they’ve been a whole mess! The genius doctor of Droycore, Quincy, has shown up once more. His students and friends are all heading over to the Flynns in an attempt to get them to let you go.

Furthermore, the Morton and Peralta Families of Irieson have also sent their people over to Capitalis. They’re all causing havoc over at the Flynns’ place!”

Gwen’s husband and her grandfather had told her about these people, and she knew how influential and powerful these people were. Just one of these names would be enough to shake up the whole of Capitalis, let alone a group of them. It was stunning to see how they were all joining forces just to save Olivia.

Olivia was too stunned to speak for a moment. Ever since she woke up, this was her first time being told about all the people who were rushing around for the sake of her safety. Is Mr. Hofstead showing himself again? The Hofstead and Pearson Families might have a close relationship, but I didn’t expect him to make such a risky move. Olivia had heard some stories about Quincy’s past, so she understood how dangerous it was for Quincy to show himself in the public’s eye.

On top of that, I’m not related to the Mortons or the Peralta Family in any way. They aren’t doing this for me—they’re only doing this for the sake of Thomas! “Well, that’s where you’re wrong, Gwen. They’re only doing this for my man.” A sweet smile spread across Olivia’s face after she finished her sentence. Every woman would love for their man to be a bold, reputable, and respectable hero! Naturally, Olivia was pleased to know how capable and well-liked Thomas was.

Gwen took a long look at Olivia after that. She was puzzled. Her man? Who is her man? How could he be so influential and powerful? Although Gwen was curious, she didn’t question Olivia directly. After all, they had only known each other for a few hours, and they weren’t too close to one another. Gwen figured it wouldn’t be polite to ask someone about their private matters. Both of them continued to chit- chat with one another on the bed after that.

…

Meanwhile, in the Acketts Estate in Irieson, both Sean and William wore grim looks on their faces. Dark clouds were hanging above Acketts Estate, and the rumbling of thunder filled their ears as flashes of lightning zapped out of the clouds every now and then. It looked like it was about to pour anytime soon. Sean and William wouldn’t be as worried if this was just a regular bout of rain—they were concerned because the dark clouds seemed to be hanging only above Acketts Estate. In contrast, the sun was high up in the sky just a few yards away from them!

“This is a huge move, Sean. Do you think all of this is because of Thomas?” William was the first to speak. The clouds were obviously circling the villa, and lightning struck the top of the building several times. Sean nodded. “I think you might be right. This seems like something of Thomas’ doing. What sort of witchery is this?” After all, how could a regular man control the weather? This sounded like something that would only happen in a fairytale.

“Well, if the weather is acting up because of Thomas, then I can’t imagine how much scarier things will get once Thomas gets out of there!” William uttered. Meanwhile, Thomas didn’t have a clue about what was going on. He was in the villa itself, and his eyes were shut tight with his jaw clenched firmly. He was going through unbearable pain.

He was at the most crucial stage in the process of toning up his body. Once he made it past this stage, the toning process would be 90 percent complete, and the only thing left to do would be to stabilize himself. Slosh! Thomas leaped out of the bath with his eyes still closed, and his limbs moved around swiftly at an inhumane speed.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Every move he made produced an explosive sound. Thomas had already absorbed all of the ingredients in the bath, and all he had to do then was to unleash, train, and master the techniques so that he could turn the recipe into his own powers!

Ding! Ding! Ding! After moving his limbs around for a while, Thomas could clearly hear the sound of his attacks. They were producing the sounds of metal! At that moment, every joint in his body twisted and turned in odd ways. This was one of the side effects that came with toning his body. The bones in his body couldn’t handle the strength of the medication, so practically half of his bones had shattered in the process!

Finally, the medication had been transformed into his own powers. Thomas gritted his teeth as he staggered back into the bath. The leftover recipe in the water was enough to help him recover from his injuries. Swoosh! Thomas’ eyes shot open, and his gaze was as sharp as an eagle’s! “My body now feels like an elite soldier’s!” This was a clear indication that the process of toning his body had been a successful one!

A threatening and powerful aura radiated from Thomas’ body. He was like an all-knowing god who had the whole world within his control. Anyone who saw him then would feel the urge to bow down to him. Crack! Crack! The broken bones in his body were healing at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. He would probably need one more day for the whole toning process to be completed. Yet, Thomas wasn’t pleased at all. After all, once the process was completed, Thomas would also be stuck with the after-effects that came from the process.

Thomas shook his head as he tried his best not to consider such things. Three days. After tomorrow, I’ll have three days, which will be more than enough for me to do everything I want. The six nuisances will be dead meat by then!

Later that night, John and Samuel rushed over to Acketts Estate. They had gotten news from the Travises, and they learned that they wouldn’t have to worry about the rest of the match. They were rather puzzled and exasperated at how supportive the Travises acted around them, but at the same time, they were glad to have such a powerful, supportive force. As such, they didn’t bother questioning much more.
