I’m Someone Else

There was no sign of her usual aloof and reserved personality. She was just like a cheerful and easygoing girl next door.
After dropping Olivia back at her place, Thomas drove to a leisure club.
It was one of Irieson’s most famous leisure clubs that offered a large variety of entertainment and leisure activities. It had
everything from arcade games to pool tables. It also offered karaoke and a buffet. All in all, it provided top-notch service.
Thomas didn’t get out of the car. He sat inside and smoked a cigarette as the information he had clearly stated that the person
he was waiting for would only arrive at 5.00PM. There was no reason for him to head in any earlier than that, so he waited in the
car.
Alas, he forgot that he was currently driving a Lamborghini. Many of the women who came to the leisure club tried to talk to him,
though he shooed them away. He wasn’t interested in these types of gold-digging women. In fact, after everything that happened
with Felice, his instinctive response was to feel repulsed by them.
“Hey, handsome. I sprained my ankle. Can you give me a ride to Excitare Street? It’s just up ahead,” a pretty woman in a
miniskirt and fishnet stockings came over and asked Thomas.
Excitare Street was lined with hotels that offered rooms by the hour. It was obvious why this woman asked Thomas to give her a
ride to that area.
Thomas glanced at her and snapped in irritation, “Get away from me!”
The pretty woman in stockings rolled her eyes and walked off.
What kind of man is that? He has no sense of appreciation at all! Do you think I would’ve bothered to talk to you if I hadn’t seen
you in that Lamborghini? Get away from you, huh? No problem! What’s the big deal? I can just find a new target.
Meanwhile, Thomas was also confused. What’s with these women? Why can’t they just find a boyfriend and get into a proper
relationship? Why must they do such things?
Just as he was caught up in his disdain, an Audi TT pulled up outside the leisure club and a bald man dressed in casualwear
stepped out of the car. He walked into the club with his arms around a pair of women who looked like twins.
“He’s here!”
That bald man was James Yorn, the sixth member of Minacia Oito Irieson, and the one on Thomas’ hitlist today!

Thomas got out of the car and took a deep puff of his cigarette. He had to stretch out his sore upper body. His wounds hadn’t
recovered yet and he was still human enough to feel pain. Nevertheless, he couldn’t pay attention to these things right now. He
would make the Hinds pay sooner or later!
According to the information, James would spend an hour at the arcade before having a meal at the buffet.
Thomas was surprised by that. The other members of Minacia Oito were living a life of luxury. They wouldn’t eat anything less
than food from five-star hotels. On the other hand, James was perfectly fine with having food from a buffet.
“You’re here at last, Mr. James! We’ve been waiting all day for you!”
Two gaudily-dressed young men immediately called out to James as soon as he entered the place. It was clear that James was
well-known among them.
James chuckled and walked over to the men. He took a glass of red wine from the server and had a sip before asking, “What are
we playing today?”
“How do you want to play today, Mr. James?” Both of these blonde-haired men had their arms around a pretty woman too.
“That’s right, Mr. James. How do you want to play today?” The twins beside James also asked him with their coquettish voices.
Isn’t this great? We landed Mr. James! We must make the best use of this opportunity. If we keep him happy, we’ll never have to
worry about money ever again!
James was in a good mood as well.
“You decide, my babies, and I’ll go along with it. You can decide for me today!”
The twins exchanged glances. “Oh! I have an idea. How about this? Let’s make it a best of three, and whoever loses will have to
pay for everything tonight!”
“Alright! Since you have spoken, my babies, let’s do it!” James gave each woman a kiss and guffawed.
One of the men nodded. “Come on, Mr. James! Let’s have a match first! Please go easy on me!”
He spoke with an unmistakably fawning tone. Both these men were hoping that they could become James’ men.
“Sure!” James walked over to one of the arcade machines and took a seat with the blonde-haired man.

They were playing a one-on-one fighting match called Tekken.
The tinny music rang out and the two men started duking it out.
Slam! Smash! Thump!
The two men pounded on the controls of the arcade machine. James’ character ended up pummeling the blonde’s character to
the ground.
“Yay! You’re amazing, Mr. James!”
“That was so cool, Mr. James! I love you!”
The twins quickly cheered for James.
“You could’ve spared my dignity a little, Mr. James!” the blonde man cried out with a despondent expression.
“Hahaha. If you manage to take away half my health in the next round, I’ll consider it your victory!”
The other blonde man took a seat at the machine and flexed his hands in preparation.
Pow!
After a burst of sound effects, James emerged victorious once more.
The two blondes stuck their thumbs up. “You’re such an expert, Mr. James!”
“Exactly! We practiced so hard so that we could play against you, but we couldn’t even take half your health off! We thought we
could at least win a round off you, Mr. James, but from the looks of it now, I don’t think we’ll ever be able to win against you!”
Thomas, who was standing nearby, nearly puked when he heard what they said. What the hell kind of simps are they?
Alas, there was no lack of people groveling at James’ feet. The twins giggled and declared, “Mr. James is undefeatable! He has
never lost before. How could you possibly defeat him?”
James acted like he was a world champion as he waved them off and said, “Haha. Keep your voices down. I don’t want to brag.
By the way, where are Johnson and Bernard? Why aren’t they picking up their phones?”

“Mr. Johnson and Mr. Bernard should be together right now. As you know, Mr. Johnson likes bringing people over to Mr.
Bernard’s place for some fun.”
“Oh, right.” James thought it sounded quite possible.
“Should I send someone over to Westsea Manor to check, Mr. James?” one of the blonde men asked.
James shook his head. “It’s fine. They’re probably having so much fun that they lost track of time. Come. Let’s go! We’ll eat first
before we play something else”
He put his arms around the twins and headed to the buffet on the second floor with the two blond men in tow.
