I’m Someone Else

Chapter 336

Chapter 336

Gasp! Everyone sucked in their breath.

They weren’t making mountains out of molehills; it was too apparent that Colby’s attitude had drastically changed from before.

His voice was cold when he spoke to Gunnar, and he wasn’t the least bit respectful of the latter. However, he had a different attitude when it came to Thomas. He surprisingly had a respectful tone in his voice, and more importantly, he even lowered his head slightly as a sign of respect.

Everyone knew who Colby was. He was the eldest son of Kyrie Travis’ eldest son, the future head of the Travis Family. He was in a highly esteemed position, and even Reuben Flynn never enjoyed such treatment from Colby, much less Thomas!

Crack! Crack!

Gunnar’s teeth almost broke from too much gnashing. What right did Thomas have to be treated in such an honored way when he couldn’t get the same treatment? He wished that Thomas would agree to the death duel so that he could torture Thomas as much as he liked in the arena.

Thomas nodded. “I choose to fight him!”

Thomas was suffering from the side effects of toning up his body, so he not only didn’t regain his prime condition, but he was also a little weaker than usual. Even so, Gunnar was so weak that he meant nothing to Thomas.

“Haha! Thomas, quit yapping nonsense, and let’s sign the consent form!” Gunnar guffawed happily. How foolish can Thomas be? He actually agreed to it! He’s just courting death!

Even if Gunnar stayed silent, Colby would get the document prepared anyway. Colby called over a servant of the Travis Family, then ordered them to prepare the consent form. From a distance away,

Kyrie glanced at Gunnar, then at Thomas. He couldn’t help but shake his head. Even before the duel commenced, its ending was already set in stone.

Gunnar wasn’t thinking straight from all the rage and jealousy, but Thomas was the exact opposite: he looked relaxed and calm. Putting the two side by side, it wasn’t difficult to figure out who had the upper hand.

“Grandpa…” Gwen was hesitant, not understanding what was on Kyrie’s mind. How can he agree to let Thomas and Gunnar duke it out? No matter how it goes, Thomas will be the one to suffer defeat!

Even if Thomas won against Gunnar, he couldn’t possibly kill the latter. After all, the Flynns were one of the greatest families in Capitalis. Even though the Travises weren’t afraid of him, it didn’t mean that Thomas wasn’t. If Thomas overdid it and seriously injured Gunnar, the Flynns wouldn’t let him off the hook, much less if he killed Gunnar.

Kyrie looked at his granddaughter-in-law, seemingly seeing through her thoughts. He smiled as he said, “Don’t worry. Gunnar was the one who proposed the duel to the death. If he has a death wish, no one can stop him. If the Flynns dare to make a fuss about it, I’ll personally deal with them.”

When Gwen heard Kyrie’s words, she finally relaxed. She earnestly felt that Olivia was a decent girl, and in recent days, their friendship developed rapidly. She didn’t want her bestie’s man to get into trouble or danger.

Soon, Colby came back with a consent form. He passed it to Gunnar first, and after Gunnar had signed his name, Colby passed it to Thomas. Seeing that the two had signed the consent form, Colby spoke up. “You are given 10 minutes to prepare. After 10 minutes, the duel officially begins!”

Only 5 minutes had elapsed when Gunnar couldn’t hold it in anymore. He stomped on the ground with his feet, launching himself in the air. He even did a flip mid-air as if brandishing his skills, then landed in the arena.

Right after that, he beckoned at Thomas, seemingly challenging the latter.

“Good! Gunnar’s skills improved again!” Below the stage, Reuben felt assured about how the duel would play out. He had studied the young man called Thomas, and since Thomas was about the same age as his son, Thomas’ capabilities wouldn’t surpass his darling son’s. After all, his son was taught by prestigious masters from a young age, and with so much material support, he managed to come this far. But what about Thomas? What did Thomas have? How could he possibly be a match for Gunnar?

Leah had shared the same thoughts. She looked coldly at Thomas, thinking, You’re so arrogant, aren’t you? You don’t even consider the Genius of Capitalis your opponent, right? Good, now let’s see how you can keep up the arrogance after getting beaten up by the Genius of Capitalis!

Thomas smiled, then walked toward the arena.

“Thomas!” Olivia suddenly called out to him.

“Hm?” Thomas paused in his tracks, then turned around to look at Olivia.

Olivia mustered up her courage and hugged Thomas, whispering, “Be careful. I’ll be waiting for your return.”

“Don’t worry.” Thomas smiled.

“Grr! Thomas, get up here and go to hell!” Gunnar was furious when he saw the scene. After all, the beautiful woman in Thomas’ arms was his fiancée.

Thomas walked into the arena, then met Gunnar’s gaze. “Since you’re both ready, you may start now!” Colby announced the early commencement of the death duel.

Gunnar didn’t say anything as he dashed right toward Thomas. He summoned strength from his elixir field as he raised his fist, the wind whirling around him as he aimed right at Thomas’ head.

Thomas shifted his feet a little, dodging the attack with great ease. “Hm? You’re quite amusing for some small fry.” Gunnar pummeled with all his might, attacking Thomas like wild currents. From the beginning, he was determined to kill Thomas, so he naturally wouldn’t pull any punches.

On the contrary, Thomas kept dodging Gunnar’s attacks, and he never retaliated.

“Look, Madam Wilkerson, Thomas isn’t that amazing after all. He’s only capable enough to dodge Gunnar’s attacks, and he doesn’t even have the energy to fight back!” Reuben gleefully showed off his son to Leah.

A flattering smile colored Leah’s face. “But of course. Gunnar is the pride of the Flynn Family, after all. He’s the bona fide Genius of Capitalis, so it’s a piece of cake for him to teach some nobody a lesson.”

“Haha!” Reuben laughed, feeling quite satisfied with Leah’s respectful flattery.

In the arena, Gunnar raised a foot and delivered a heavy kick at Thomas’ waist from the side. This time, he had used up all his energy. Thomas chose not to dodge this attack. He jumped on the spot, then sent out a kick as well, clashing his leg with Gunnar’s.

Bang!

Gunnar took a step backward while Thomas landed where he was, looking calmly at Gunnar.

Below the stage, Olivia clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Thomas.

Before Olivia knew it, Leah approached her silently and said, “Olivia, keep your eyes peeled and see for yourself. There’s a world of difference between Thomas and Gunnar! After this, you’ll realize that I made the best choice for your sake.”

Leah was extremely confident right now. The situation in the arena was clear enough. It would only be a matter of time before Thomas suffered defeat!

Olivia couldn’t be bothered to argue with the old h*g. She glared at Leah, then continued watching Thomas’ performance in the arena.
