I’m Someone Else

Chapter 351

Forget it.

Since Quincy had spoken, it would be inappropriate if he declined to go there. Moreover, Taylor would not dare to do anything with him there.

As such, Thomas headed into the villa and asked Chloe to keep Emily company. Then, he headed to the hospital where, inside Quincy’s office, he met the real man behind the Saunder Family for the first time.

Taylor wore a navy-blue martial arts uniform with a walking cane in his hand. When he saw Thomas, he was full of smiles and looked amicable. However, Thomas was not fooled by his facade. He had long since developed a prejudice against the Six Greatest Families and thought Taylor might be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

“Old Mr. Saunder, I’m here. Please go ahead.” He got straight to the point.

“He’s right, Old Mr. Saunder. Thomas is a straightforward kid, so you can just name whatever cooperation you wish to engage with him,” Quincy concurred beside. Not only was Thomas curious about the cooperation Taylor mentioned, but so was Quincy.

Hearing that, Taylor nodded and explained his plan. However, the more Thomas listened, the more he felt something was wrong. It was normal for Taylor to want to be free of the six old monsters’ control, but did Taylor have a misconception of him? Or perhaps Taylor thought of him as a fool.

“Mr. Clifford, to be honest, as long as you agree to work with the Saunder Family, I’ll present you with a massive gift. I believe with your ability and that gift, you can easily defeat the six old monsters, no sweat!”

Taylor had heard that even the first man under the six old monsters, Cordan Adams, had lost to Thomas. Therefore, it was evident Thomas was not a force that could be easily reckoned with. At the very least, he was the only person Taylor could find that might stand a chance to go head-on-head with the six old monsters. Moreover, Thomas had a huge grudge against the six old monsters, so there was bound to be a battle to the death between them. No matter what, he was the best candidate to help Taylor.

Subsequently, Thomas gave Taylor a meaningful look. “But first, you must tell me who you’d been sacrificing to all these years. Who are the people you’ve been answering to?'”

He would not be foolish enough to reject at first chance because he would not be able to get the answers he wanted if he offended Taylor. Even Quincy could not find anything after so many years of investigating.

“Uhm…” The embarrassed Taylor averted his gaze to Quincy, who blinked at him innocently. He did not want to say anything because if he did, it meant disclosing the forces behind those six old monsters to Thomas. He was afraid Thomas would be scared by that newfound knowledge and refuse to work with him. It’s every man for himself! That’s the old saying passed down since ancient times.

Thomas’ eyes turned cold as he narrowed them at Taylor. How did he expect them to work together if the other party was unwilling to reveal such a minor detail?

Tap! Tap! Tap!

He tapped his fingers on the table while asking mischievously, “Old Mr. Saunder, is there something you can’t disclose, or is it because you don’t wish to tell me?”

When Taylor heard that, he was stunned because he did not want to say anything. How did Thomas figure it out? Can he read minds or something? How does he know what I’m thinking? At the same time, he was frustrated. Why do you care? Those six old monsters are about to come to you, so you

only have to tell me whether you agree to work with me. What’s the point of asking me so many questions? Can you possibly refuse to work with me because I keep my mouth shut? That’s absurd! How can you win against them without my gift?

“Huh!” Thomas sneered and got up. “It’s all up to you, but I think you can forget about the deal.”

Once he was done, he pretended to walk away. Emily was still at Northpine Villa, so he needed to return to entertain her, leaving him no time to waste on Taylor. In terms of identity and status, she was far more crucial than this old man!

That retort rendered Taylor at a loss for words. After all, he did not expect Thomas would choose not to cooperate with him because he refused to answer a question. That was simply outrageous!

“Wait. I’ll tell you!”

Taylor was highly frustrated because it was the first time he did not get what he wanted. Also, the person who made him feel this way was a young man in his twenties. Still, he had no choice but to endure it because his family’s matter was critical.

“The real people in charge of the Six Greatest Families aren’t the six old monsters. Those six are just managing us on behalf of a hidden sect. That sect has a vicious internal martial art that requires taking yin essence to help them improve their abilities. Therefore, regardless of whether it was a member of that sect or those six old monsters, they all had several wives. The person they have to sacrifice something to is their master. Every once in a while, they would send a woman with frost blood to him, and as a form of repayment, their master would teach them martial arts skills or techniques to help them improve their abilities. However, the sacrificed woman will suffer because once that old scoundrel takes away her yin essence, he will remove every drop of her blood. Besides that, that old scoundrel has a hobby. He would turn those women into specimens for display!”

Bam!

Once Taylor finished his explanation, Thomas could not hold back his anger and slammed his fist on the desk. Instantly, the mahogany desk was rendered into pieces! Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Getting assaulted and having their blood drained was something Thomas knew would happen. Still, the women were already tortured to death, yet their bodies had to be made into a specimen for that old b*stard to show off! Was that not stopping the deceased from resting in peace? That was simply inhumane and utterly heartless!

What infuriated him the most was that Olivia was also one of the sacrifices. If he had not appeared in her life, she might not have been able to escape such a horrible encounter.

Looking at his broken desk, Quincy shook his head and sighed but did not say anything. As Thomas’ friend, he understood his fury. However, it was a pity that his desk had to suffer.

“What sect are they from?”

“The Crimson Moon.”

“How strong are those six old monsters?” Though Thomas had a rough guess, he thought he should still confirm with Taylor.

“The Peak of Profound Tier Three.” Taylor paused momentarily before adding, “Those six are not to be reckoned with, especially since they have the Crimson Moon’s special techniques and weapons in their hands. The Saunder Family desperately needs you to stall them for two hours. Once those two hours are up, you can kill them immediately!”
