I’m Someone Else

Chapter 361

“Come, Thomas, let me introduce you. This is Rochka Nett, the owner of Irieson’s Miles Auction House.” Emily formally introduced him after Thomas took his seat.

“Miles Auction House?” He was momentarily stunned. Isn’t that the place where I bid for the Century Lotus?

He had heard Timothy mention it before. Miles Auction House was the largest auction house in Irieson, while Sean’s Unicus Hall was more of a plaything and could not compare to Miles Auction House.

Rochka proactively extended his hand. “Mr. Clifford, I’ve long heard your name. Your remarkable performance at Miles Auction House is still fresh in my memory!” He was a good friend of Emily’s father, so she should address him as an uncle if they were to go by seniority.

Thomas smiled and reached out his hand, shaking hands with Rochka.

“Do you know each other?” Emily looked surprised.

“Not really. I know Mr. Clifford, but he doesn’t know me. He bought a Century Lotus from Miles Auction House for 500 million,” he explained.

“I see!” She nodded with a smile. Perfect. So, they’re acquaintances.

Thomas was somewhat surprised. He had thought that Emily, this naughty little lady, had called him out late at night just to play around. However, she had introduced him to such an important figure. With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell that Miles Auction House had a formidable background.

“Thomas, this is for you.” She took a document from her bag and placed it before him. “My grandfather entrusted me to give this to you.” She had been requested back home by Kyrie to deliver this document and was instructed by him to hand it over to Thomas personally.

“Oh? What’s this?” he asked curiously.

“You’ll know once you open it.”

Suppressing his curiosity, he opened the thick document. “Crimson Moon!” he exclaimed.

The document was a complete introduction to Crimson Moon, including information about the top members’ power levels. This document was incredibly valuable! After all, he had just sent those six old monsters to hell himself. There was a possibility of retaliation from Crimson Moon, and he knew nothing about this mysterious hidden sect. The fact that the Travis Family had provided him with this information was like a timely aid!

With this document, he could at least know his enemies!

Emily spoke, “My grandfather wanted me to ensure you no worries about any retaliation from Crimson Moon for the time being. He’s already sent someone to negotiate with them, and Crimson Moon has agreed not to take action against you for a year. However, things may change after that during the Ancient Martial Arts Family Ranking Competition.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The Travis Family had learned about the intentions of those six old monsters attacking Thomas at the very first moment. Knowing his capabilities from Emily’s understanding, they were certain those six old monsters would die at his hands. However, considering his current strength, he was not a match for Crimson Moon. That was why they had requested Emily back.

He looked deeply at her and thanked her repeatedly. The Travis Family is indeed impressive! he exclaimed silently in his heart.

Just based on their information-gathering capabilities alone, they far surpassed other families. No wonder powerful families like the Flynns dared not cause trouble in the Travis Family’s territory.

After the surprise, he sensed that something was amiss. “You mentioned the Ancient Martial Arts Family Ranking Competition after a year. Does that mean Crimson Moon will also participate?”

Since it’s called the Ancient Martial Arts Family Ranking Competition, shouldn’t it be attended by various martial arts families? Why is Crimson Moon participating?

Emily patiently explained, “There are five influential hidden sects in addition to some ancient martial arts families that will send their representatives. Crimson Moon is one of those five sects. In simple terms, the Six Greatest Families of Irieson are the wealth-gathering tools and spokespersons for Crimson Moon. Since you’ve wiped out the six greatest families, Crimson Moon will not let it go. Even my grandfather has said that Crimson Moon is much stronger than it appears. Although they have publicly agreed not to trouble you for a year, there’s no guarantee they won’t make some secret moves. You should be cautious.”

She genuinely admired Thomas, who defeated Leah with his fists and kicked Gunnar with his feet. He had even abandoned his vow to exterminate the Flynn Family. Now, he had wiped out the Six Greatest Families of Irieson, including the six old monsters behind them. Such ability and courage were rare in the world. At least among the younger generation, she knew no one who could surpass Thomas!

He nodded, feeling he owed a favor to the Travises. The favor owed to them resembled a rolling snowball, growing larger and heavier. It would not be an issue if he and the Travis Family were friends. However, they had only just met. They helped him solely because of Eli, and it made him uncomfortable because he was not used to owing others.

How can I repay this favor?

“Waiter, bring the food!” Emily called out as her stomach growled. They had been too focused on discussing the matters, and hunger had taken over.

Introducing Rochka to Thomas was also her grandfather’s idea. Rochka was a prominent figure in Irieson, but he kept a low profile, which made him relatively unknown. However, that did not mean he possessed subpar abilities.

There was a chance that Rochka could be of help to Thomas after getting to know him.

“Mr. Clifford, there’s an antique exchange event the day after tomorrow. If you have time, why don’t we go together?”

Rochka was no fool. This young man in front of him had earned the Travis Family’s high regard, and they even intervened with the secretive Crimson Moon on his behalf. It was evident that Thomas was extraordinary, so establishing a good relationship with him would be beneficial.

“Sure, I’d appreciate that.” Thomas smiled slightly and agreed. It was a good opportunity to network with someone like Rochka.

The meal lasted for two hours before it ended. Thomas drove Emily back to her place of rest, and to his surprise, her temporary resting place was a villa!

She kept talking about her family and their various businesses throughout the journey, where the Travis Family’s commercial empire spanned the entire Droycore. Additionally, she handed Thomas the business cards of the individuals responsible for the Travises’ industries in Irieson, emphasizing that her grandfather had already informed those people and that he could contact them if he needed anything.

“Would you like to come in?” At the villa’s entrance, Emily extended an invitation to him.

Undeniably, entering the residence of a young lady late at night carried an intimate connotation.
