I’m Someone Else

Chapter 352

To be honest, Taylor did not care if it were Thomas getting killed by those six old monsters or the other way around once the two hours were up. Those had nothing to do with him, and what he cared about the most was that precious period. He only hoped that Thomas would not kill those six old monsters immediately.

Meanwhile, Thomas ignored him and sat on the couch with a frown, lost in thought. Luckily for him, the six old monsters had the same level of strength as him. As long as he maintained this afternoon’s cultivation speed, breaking through to Profound Tier Three overnight would not be a problem. By then, he could easily take on all six with no problem.

After glancing at Taylor, he thought the old man was just as he had expected. Though he looked harmless, he was indeed a vicious wolf in sheep’s clothing! What would happen after he killed the six old monsters? The Saunder Family could escape their control, but would the Crimson Moon let this matter slide? The Saunder Family was a force they trained, so how could they just sit and watch the Saunders betray them without doing anything?

Since Taylor came up with this plan, it meant he must have a way to ensure the Crimson Moon would not seek them out for revenge. His biggest bet was that he might have found the family an even stronger supporter, one so powerful that even the Crimson Moon dared not provoke. Moreover, he planned to bring the entire Saunders to run away to their new backer during the two hours Thomas was busy stalling the six old monsters!

The Saunder Family has nothing to worry about, but a question remains—what about me? If the Crimson Moon dares not go after the Saunder Family, won’t they gather all their frustrations on me? This isn’t cooperation; they want me to be their scapegoat! Oh, Taylor Saunder, do you think I’m a f*cking fool?

Sensing something strange from Thomas’ expression, Taylor added, “Mr. Clifford, those six old monsters will be coming for you by tomorrow afternoon.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

At that point, Thomas knew his guesses were correct. Taylor needed those two hours to get to his new backer and had already arranged everything with the other party. As long as he could bring all the core members of the Saunder Family to finish everything they needed during that period, the new backer would then protect their family.

“Mr. Clifford, I believe that with your abilities, those six old monsters will be easy targets for you. All you need to do is keep them at bay for two hours, and I’ll give you something to increase your chances of winning that battle.”

“Really?” Thomas sneered. “But you’ve just said those six are easy targets, so why are you still giving me something for a sure-win battle?”

“Uhm…” Taylor had nothing to say. Who does he think he is? It was just a few words of flattery, and not only does he believe it’s true, but he’s even picking out errors in my speech.

“The Saunders and I are different. My grudge against those six old monsters is purely protecting Olivia, so I do not need to work with you. As for the two hours you mentioned, you should think of another way.”

Once Thomas was done speaking, he left. Two hours? That’s easier said than done. Life and death are just moments away during battles between masters, so why should I risk my life and safety to help him stall for two hours? Moreover, his first intention is not to cooperate with me but use me and throw me under the bus!

Meanwhile, Quincy watched everything from the sidelines and said nothing. How could he not guess Taylor’s intentions? He merely did not expect him to be such a ruthless person.

“Mr. Clifford, are you not going to reconsider?” Taylor’s tone turned cold. He had already arranged with the new backer to bring the Saunder Family there tomorrow. If he backed out of the deal, it would upset his new backer and make it difficult for them to seek protection in the future!

Yes. You, Thomas Clifford, are a powerful man, but it’s not like I don’t know what happened at Acketts Estate. You only managed to injure Cordan, a Profound Tier One master, but did not kill him. That proves your skills aren’t to the point of killing Cordan, let alone those six old monsters at the Peak of Profound Tier Three! Do you seriously think you can take them on?

“The current situation is not in your favor. You won’t stand a chance without my gift!”

At that point, Taylor was furious. He came here bearing information and gifts and even sincerely, humbly pleaded with the other, so how could he just get up and leave? That was simply absurd! Did Thomas think he was an almighty god while the six old monsters were mere trash?

Thomas stopped walking and turned around to look at him. Taylor’s words were no longer a plea for cooperation but a threat—an outright one!

“Thomas, don’t tell me you’re afraid. Do you fear the six old monsters, or are you afraid of the Crimson Moon supporting them?”

“Fear?” Thomas approached Taylor and looked down at him. “To tell you the truth, the person who can intimidate me in this world has yet to exist! You can have the great gift you mentioned, and similarly, it’s none of my concern if you want to escape their control! As for why I refused to work with you… Huh. Do you think I’m a fool? Are you considering letting me take on the Crimson Moon’s rage while the Saunder Family escapes? I have nothing to do with you, so what right do you have to make me take on

your enemy? Taylor Saunder, I only agreed to meet you because of Quincy. Otherwise, who do you think you are, and why should I come all the way here just to meet with you, you idiot?!”

“You—” Taylor was so pissed that he trembled. It was the first time someone dared to speak to him so insolently! On what basis are you acting so arrogant? So what if you have a close connection to Rafael Maze? He’s all the way in Capitalis, so he and the forces behind him can’t save you, even if they wanted to!

As for Taylor, it was an entirely different story. The gift he was about to give Thomas was information about the six old monster’s vital regions that could kill them! Also, he planned on giving him a treasurable item that could help increase his abilities within a short timeframe! In other words, he was giving Thomas a chance. A chance to survive the battle with those six old monsters! However, Thomas rejected him so straightforwardly and firmly, so how could he not be furious?

Moreover, without Thomas stalling the six old monsters for two hours, whether it was escaping the six old monsters’ control or bringing the Saunder Family to start a new life, all of those were just empty promises!”

“Thomas, are you unwilling to work with me?”

Nodding, Thomas replied, “Yes, I don’t want to. You can find whoever’s willing to help you! I can still beat up those six old monsters without your gift!”

“Good! Very good!” Taylor repeated before threatening, “You’d better not regret it!”
