I’m Someone Else

Chapter 190

“Also, you’ll have thousands of beautiful women to choose from. Although you can’t have Olivia, perhaps you might be interested in Ophelie? As long as you agree to submit to the Pearson Family, I’ll give you the highest status possible and even make Terrence show you the respect you deserve! Since you like Olivia, and Shadow looks exactly like her, I can use my authority to make her your concubine!”

It had to be said the offerings Duban proposed were indeed tempting. Riches, women, and even Terrence’s respect. Duban was the only one in the Pearson Family worthy of indulging in such things, and if Thomas agreed to submit to the Pearson Family, he would become the next Duban Pearson!

When Thomas heard what had been said, he was shocked. What’s this? Weren’t we fighting? Why is he suddenly trying to persuade me to join him? And he said he would give me money and women? Who does he think I am? A poor man or a man with insatiable sexual desires? The Pearson Family’s wealth is nothing to me, and most importantly, he wants to make that Shadow woman my concubine. How dare he make her Olivia’s replacement? Does he think she can replace Olivia just because she looks the same? Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing that Thomas was silent, Duban thought his persuasion had worked and was just about to continue when he saw Thomas get down on one knee.

“Oh…” Duban smiled because he thought Thomas was about to bow down before him. With such a talented martial arts prodigy among them, they could then extend the Pearson Family’s glory! Seeing how skilled a young man like Thomas was, Duban, who appreciated talent, thought that with some hard work, Thomas might even surpass him after reaching his age. By then, Thomas might be unmatched within the entire Droycore!

Meanwhile, Terrence and Norman beamed while watching Thomas’ actions. Once Thomas joined their family, Keyshire Property would completely be theirs and the wealth associated with it! Also, without

Thomas’ protection, Olivia would have no choice but to return home. It was two birds with one stone! How could they not be happy about that?

It was a pity that they were wrong, so very wrong.

How would Thomas be so easily won over? He did not get down on one knee because he was willing to submit to them. He did it because he wanted to fix his dislocated arm! The blow Duban delivered on his shoulder just now had dislocated his arm.

Crack—

Following the sound of bones rubbing against each other, Thomas slowly rose to his feet and moved his shoulders. Fortunately, he didn’t feel anything besides a slight numbness. When he looked up at Duban with his cold eyes, he admitted that Duban was indeed capable, and it had been a while since he met someone who could injure him!

Pow! In a flash, Thomas moved like lightning and charged toward Duban, then swung a strong punch at him!

Swoosh! Duban dared not look down on Thomas’ ability and quickly moved away.

Crack—Thump! Though Thomas’ punch missed Duban, it landed straight onto the cupboard behind him, and the mahogany furniture was rendered into pieces.

“What… What the heck!” Norman screamed as he wondered how much power was inside that ordinarily-looking punch. The cupboard was made from the strongest wood available—mahogany. An ordinary man would need some time to break that with an ax, yet Thomas broke it with just a punch! How strong would he need to be to achieve that?

But the one receiving the largest shock was Duban because he could clearly feel that Thomas was different from before! He was even stronger and bolder as the fight prolonged! It felt like he was a beast who had unleashed its inner ferocity after getting injured! At this point, Duban thought Thomas seemed odd like he had grown up taking Viagra or something.

Thomas arrived before Duban and began a round of close combat. At that moment, Duban suddenly felt fear because he knew he would definitely get hurt if he continued to fight with Thomas! Not even mentioning Thomas’ punches, his bursts of energy alone were enough to injure Duban, so Duban could only frantically try to dodge.

On the sidelines, Terrence watched the scene while subconsciously retreating. Oh, no. It seems like even Elder Duban isn’t Thomas’ match. Am I going to die today?

Bam!

There was bound to be a time when Duban would be too late to dodge Thomas’ attacks. When that time came, Duban could only use his hands to try and block Thomas’ punch, but when both their hands touched, Duban was sent flying backward. By the time he found his footing, he felt his stomach churn and spat out blood.

In the meantime, Terrence and Norman felt like their eyes were about to pop out. How could Thomas injure Elder Duban to the point that he was spitting blood? Was… he human?

Gotta take advantage of his weakened state to kill him! Thomas did not give Duban much time to recuperate and immediately continued to attack with increased speed and strength.

While the two previously fought, Norman could not see anything, while Terrence could. But now, even Terrence could not see how Thomas had delivered the blow. Thomas’ speed had reached the absolute limit of humanity!

Duban quickly searched his brain, not believing that Thomas would be so well-rounded. He can deliver such fierce punches, but what about his lower body?

Once he thought of that, he immediately attacked Thomas’ lower body, and Thomas quickly retreated to dodge the attack.

Duban’s eyes lit up as he thought he had found Thomas’ weak spot—His lower body! Afterward, Duban was so overwhelmed with joy that he failed to notice the almost unnoticeable sneer on Thomas’ face.

“Kid, you’re dead this time!” Then, Duban began attacking and aimed every attack at Thomas’ lower body.

Thomas seemed like he had no choice and could only retreat to dodge the old man’s attack.

“Elder Duban, good strikes!” Terrence waved his fist while yelling encouragement to Duban, thinking Thomas was a fool for not accepting their terms and for being daring enough to fight back. Thomas deserved to die!

Pow! Pow!

Just when Terrence and Norman thought they had it in the bag, they heard a deafening noise, and when they looked over, Duban was already on the ground while both his hands were laying limply.

“You are… shameless…” Duban was so angry that he gritted his teeth. After all the effort, he discovered that Thomas’ lower body was also very sturdy. Thomas deliberately pretended to be defeated to lure Duban into the trap and make him let his guard down so that he could deliver the winning blow! Since Duban was also skilled in martial arts, he only had to think about it to realize the important factor in this incident.

“Shameless?” Thomas sneered. “Who could be more shameless than the Pearson Family, who can even give up their own as ‘sacrifice’ just for family benefits!”
