I’m Someone Else

Chapter 321

Leah started tearing up. If they didn’t know better, they’d have thought John and the other guys were ganging up on a poor old dame like her.

The lad beside Kyrie spat and cursed silently, “Disgusting.” Please, stop with the damsel in distress act. Everyone in this city knows the kind of b*tch you are. You can drop the act now. No one’s falling for it.

He was Colby Travis—the lad with no idea about the story of this case. All he knew was that his grandfather was tasked to take away that girl named Olivia. The descendant of Kyrie’s old friend asked him to do it, and Colby tagged along.

John, Samuel, and Theodore didn’t even bother hiding their disgust. My God, when they said you have to throw your shame away in order to survive, they must’ve had this b*tch in mind. This h*g has no shame at all. They say some women can act perfectly, and Leah’s an impeccable actress. We should tell Oscar to give her an award. Best b*tch, maybe?

Leah had no shame at all. Despite everyone’s looks of contempt, she still carried on with her damsel in distress act, staring at Kyrie so much he waved her down. “I don’t care who’s right or wrong in this case. Everyone here’s a public figure. If you’re going to fight over one girl, heads will roll. Battles are chaotic. A melee will end up killing more people than you can imagine. I don’t think you’d want to see that happen. Why don’t you let me take the lady away for now? We’ll set up a ring at my place in three days. You guys will pick the fighters for the competition. Best two out of three. The winner takes the girl, deal?”

“Hm?”

Everyone was shocked. They couldn’t believe Kyrie was trying to step in. No matter how they cut it, he was not involved in this matter at all. There was no need for him to interfere.

Noticing everyone’s confusion, Kyrie smiled. “Don’t take this the wrong way. I just don’t want a bloody battle. That’s why I’m mediating. Let’s take this slow. If you’re amenable to this agreement, then how about you let me take the wheels, alright?”

Kyrie was the head of the Travis Family and the Saint Healer of Capitalis. Hence, no one would go against his request.

As expected, Samuel and John nodded. “We’re amenable.”

They were not stupid. Kyrie’s idea might sound fair on paper, but it was biased toward John and Samuel. Olivia was still in the Flynns’ hands as they spoke. The two of them might be decent fighters, but they were in the Flynns’ main base of operations. If they were to fight, they might not come out unscathed.

In that case, they should go with Kyrie’s idea and prepare for the fight, picking the best fighters they had. They had confidence in winning two matches out of three. At least it was a better chance than winning this melee.

Reuben and Leah exchanged a look. They, too, noticed the details of this plan and how it was skewed toward the enemy. They were confused, and they wondered why Kyrie would do this. There was no way the Saint Healer of Capitalis would come all the way here just to deal with a family matter. There must be something more to it. Something they were not privy to.

Impatient, Colby asked, “Oi, is it a yes or no? Come on already, you two.”

Reuben and Leah shivered, and they quickly nodded. “We’re amenable.”

No matter how confused or upset they were, they would never talk back to Kyrie. Not to mention he was just suggesting another way to deal with the matter instead of asking him to hand over Olivia right away. It would be rude if they disagreed with it.

“Good.” Kyrie nodded and smiled at Reuben silently.

Reuben heaved a sigh. Of course, he knew what Kyrie was trying to say. Quickly, he asked his men to take Olivia to Kyrie.

Samuel and John looked at Olivia, and they felt a weight getting taken off their backs. This was probably the best outcome, given the situation. Olivia could only be safe if she was taken to the Travis Residence. If she remained here, God knew what the Flynns would do to her.

Kyrie stood up and said goodbye, and then he took Olivia away. Samuel waved his hand and told Quincy’s allies, “We’re going too.”

Reuben’s eyes were red with fury, and he gritted his teeth, hissing, “I won’t forget this, you gits. Someday you’ll pay for this.” The marriage was going swimmingly, but because of these two, the bride was taken away. Of course, he was furious. He would skin them alive if he could.

John harrumphed. He could see that Reuben was angry, but he didn’t care. Nonchalantly, he said, “Yeah, don’t ever forget it. You want revenge? Then come at us. If you want, you can take the fight to Irieson too. But if you come to our turf, you might never come out alive.”

Everyone left. Reuben was on the brink of exploding with fury, and Leah had a dark look on her face.

“I don’t get it, Dad. Quincy, Samuel, and John are close to Thomas, so I can understand why they’d help him, but Kyrie? What’s he got to do with this? Even if everyone dies here, he still will have no reason to step in.”

Gunnar was exasperated. He was going to bed Olivia while she was still around. He’d always wanted to do that, but then a bunch of people showed up and took her away. Great, now how am I supposed to sleep with her?

“How the f*ck should I know?” Reuben felt humiliated too. His family was well-known in town, and it had been that way for generations. But just because of one nameless lad, a whole army came after him. To make things worse, not only did he fail to teach them a lesson, his would-be daughter-in-law was taken away too. If the public knew, they would be laughing at them. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Reuben waved his hand impatiently and went upstairs. This is humiliating.
