I’m Someone Else

Chapter 331

Chapter 331

Gwen had heard various rumors and stories about Thomas during this time. Naturally, she was curious about the man.

“Come on, tell me! I’ll really be mad if you don’t!”

“A-Alright.” Olivia compromised, recounting every detail of their story bashfully from the moment she met Thomas.

The thrilling and heart-warming tale left Gwen in awe. “You two together, it’s truly enviable!”

“Mm!” Olivia nodded bashfully. “Even if I die tomorrow, I’d be content if I can really date Thomas. An amazing man like him is surely in high demand.”

“Indeed.” Gwen took an envious gander at Olivia. “It’s truly rare for a woman to meet a man willing to protect her with his life.”

Though Colby treated her well, and they had a deep bond as a couple, Gwen thought her relationship with Colby lacked the passion and excitement Olivia and Thomas shared.

“However, Olivia, you shouldn’t underestimate yourself. You’re so beautiful and sensible. Thomas is lucky to have a girlfriend like you!”

Gwen’s compliment wasn’t mere flattery. Through their interactions lately, she had gained a general understanding of Olivia. When it came to business and management, Olivia was a true powerhouse— decisive, quick-witted, and assertive. However, when it came to matters of the heart, she lacked even the most basic experience and knowledge. Thomas was her first love, and given her devoted nature, it seemed she would love him alone in this lifetime.

“If you’ve already decided that Thomas is the one, why haven’t you confessed your feelings?” Gwen asked, expressing her curiosity.

Hints of bitterness immediately laced Olivia. “I-I’m scared. Thomas has a special charm that girls are drawn to. I can clearly feel that my secretary also harbors feelings of admiration for him. Also, Thomas has a foster sister. Maybe I’m just being overly sensitive, but I always feel something off in the way his foster sister looks at him. I’m really stressed. Most importantly, what if he doesn’t reciprocate my feelings? What should I do then?”

Gwen chuckled lightly in response. “Oh, you silly girl. You shouldn’t feel stressed. If anything, it’s the other girls who have a crush on Thomas that should be stressed. They can’t compare to you!”

With Olivia’s beauty and intelligence, she stood among the best, not to mention in the small city of Irieson. Few could match her. Thomas wasn’t a fool either, and it was obvious who was more outstanding.

“You have to give it your all, Olivia. A man as wonderful as him is hard to come by. You can’t let him slip away easily. I’m still waiting to toast at your wedding!”

“I…” Olivia didn’t know what to say. Being teased by Gwen like this, she felt a mix of shyness and joy, with hints of happiness.

Is what Gwen said true? Will Thomas definitely accept my confession? Ah, just thinking about it makes me feel so happy!

As if performing a magic trick, Gwen pulled out a telescope and handed it to Olivia. “Here, Olivia. Use this to help you spectate. Who knows? Maybe your man has arrived.”

Meanwhile, the first match was about to begin.

The first representative from the Flynn Family stepped forward. He was a martial arts expert in their family, similar in age to Reuben’s father, but his strength should not be underestimated.

On the other side, the representative from the Travis Family wore a mask. He had both hands behind his back, standing upright in the arena.

It was Kyrie’s idea to keep their family’s fighter low-key. Wearing a mask would prevent the Flynns and Wilkersons from recognizing him and spreading gossip.

“Pfft! Nothing but a mysterious clown pretending to be someone!” Reuben snorted disdainfully. He was confident in the skills of their martial arts expert, and he estimated that their opponent wouldn’t even be able to handle a single move from their martial arts expert!

Those two old geezers, John and Samuel, are scared so out of their wits that they don’t even dare show up anymore. I really don’t know what courage Quincy’s dogs have to send someone to challenge us!

Reuben and Leah exchanged a seemingly carefree smile. They appeared like two transcendental beings who had attained enlightenment.

With their arrogant expressions, it was as if they had ‘winner’ written on their faces. They could already imagine the scene of the masked man being defeated and begging for mercy at the hands of their formidable representative.

If Thomas were to see their expressions, he would definitely applaud them. Those two were really pretending to be aloof and extraordinary!

Bonk! The deafening sound of a gong echoed, signaling the official start of the match.

Feliciano Flynn, the martial arts expert of the Flynn Family, moved like lightning. The distance of eighty yards seemed like just a step away in his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he was already close to the masked man.

Without any hesitation, he raised his fists and viciously smashed the sides of the masked man’s face with a thunderous bam!

The move was meant to kill, as personally instructed by Reuben. Defeating the opponent wasn’t the goal; the goal was to eliminate them directly. Aren’t you people cocky?! Don’t you people dare come to our place and tell us what to do?! Very well, you shall pay a painful price!

Meanwhile, Kyrie and Colby watched the scene unfold plainly. In their eyes, Feliciano was nothing more than an overestimating waste.

Bam!

Just as Kyrie and Colby predicted, Feliciano moved fast, but he returned even faster. After a thunderous bam, he flew backward, gliding through the air for about a dozen feet before landing on the arena.

One move! What a devastating defeat!

“What the…” The Flynns and Wilkersons were stunned, never expecting their highly-anticipated fighter to be defeated like this.

How did it turn out like this? Didn’t our fighter attack that vile, masked man?! How did he end up flying instead?!

The speed at which the masked man struck was simply too fast. The spectators below couldn’t even see how he made his move.

Cough! Feliciano felt a tumultuous upheaval in his body, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. That last blow had caused severe internal injuries, which would take at least a year or more to recover from.

“Hehe!” Theodore and the others couldn’t help laughing when they saw how grim Reuben and Leah looked. Feeling smug, eh? Are you entertained now? Do you people really think there isn’t anyone within Capitalis who can teach you people a lesson?!

They were well aware that the Travises’ fighter had shown mercy, or the last strike would’ve been enough to take Feliciano’s life!
