Despite the interruption at the mall, dinner was sumptuous. It would have been an extremely wonderful dinner if it weren't for the incident.Atlas glanced at all of us. "What? Scared already? This might just be the beginning."Arnold laughed. "That's interesting. Then I'll enjoy this meal to celebrate my narrow escape and keep up my strength for the next challenge.""Tomorrow morning, you'll take Ms. Hana back. Hurry back to Gerby and finish what you need to do there," Atlas asserted. "You're just causing trouble here.""How am I causing trouble?" Arnold immediately retorted impatiently, looking at Atlas with displeasure. "Fine, I'll return, but my sister has to come with me.""I can't go." I immediately refused.Atlas said to Arnold. "You have two tasks when you return. Quickly finish them in Gerby and go to Bourdamun to meet Denton. Only you can do this, and I've already arranged it.""Meet Denton?" Arnold asked incredulously."Yes, you're going to meet him indirectly. You'll

Atlas gave me a quick kiss, then said reassuringly, "Don't worry too much. He doesn't stand a chance. He'll have no way back if he challenges my bottom line. For now, let's focus on rescuing Dad. I'll deal with him slowly.""Denton had been lying low all this time. When I saw him that day, he appeared calm, but his eyes said something else.”I never forgot the scene when I first saw him in Bourdamun.Then, I continued, "I feel it's not that simple. So, you need to be careful.""Thanks for the reminder, my dear wife." He grinned mischievously at me and nibbled my lips.I cautioned Atlas, "He must know about our relationship. We might be able to keep it from the public, but not from someone determined to find out. He's reckless despite knowing, which means revenge is just a decoy. He must have another motive.""Smart thinking," Atlas said. "Once we thoroughly investigate, you can relax. Hmm?"I signaled for Atlas to let go, but he carried me into the bathroom. "Let's take a bath

Not only did we find it amusing, but we even had to cover our mouths to stifle our laughter. I didn't realize Arnold was such a drama queen."Are you demanding something from me?" Arnold continued to act, "Okay, let's say around 5 p.m. It'll be dinner time by then.""Actually, can it be around 2 p.m.? Mr. Arnold, please." The man on the other end sounded exasperated."Let me remind you again, don't talk to me in that tone. I hate it!" Arnold said sternly into the phone. "2 p.m. it is. Don't rush me anymore, damn it. Even on vacation, I can't catch a break."With that, he hung up the phone and looked at Atlas. "All set."At this point, everyone burst into laughter. Dylan patted his shoulder teasingly. "Mr. Arnold, you're a master at this acting game. If you go down this path, you'll be top-tier."“Even if I don't go down that path, I'm still top-tier." Arnold laughed."Arton, you won't be on the same flight with them. You'll leave first," Atlas told Arton. "Later, I'll have Ca

The hall was truly majestic, decorated in ivory, white and gold. The bright lights were dazzling, creating a splendid and magnificent atmosphere.Navi and his entourage entered, standing on either side of the entrance like indispensable decorations as if they were upholding his authority.Atlas didn't hesitate to lead me to sit on the ivory-white sofa, appearing calm and composed, while I sat beside him, observing them coldly.As Navi took his seat, his gaze fell on Atlas."Mr. Atlas, you are truly remarkable. I heard of you a long time ago. It's truly an honor to have you grace my home today. And Mrs. Chloe is equally stunning." Navi continued with his incongruous pleasantries, his eyes constantly flicking toward me."Mr. Navi, you speak our language very well," I complimented him."Indeed. In fact, ever since I found out where Jasper... oh, that is, where George was, I've been diligently studying your language, thinking that I would need it one day. I never expected that day to

Atlas pinched my nose playfully. He didn’t answer my question and instead asked, "What do you want to eat?""What can we eat here?" I asked skeptically.But when the dishes arrived, I couldn't help but smile. It was all seafood dishes I loved, and although they were prepared in a different style here, they looked very tempting.I reached for a dish eagerly, and he indulgently reminded me, "Take it easy, we have plenty of time." "Why did you bring us here for dinner?" I asked, knowing that he must have had a reason.Sure enough, Atlas smiled and replied, "We need to put on a show and make Navi nervous. Otherwise, he'll come up with too many tricks. If he wants to challenge me, he must be able to do so.""So you wanted him to feel like you were going to a more important appointment to make him uncertain," I said, "Especially when you brought the notebook with you?""Exactly," he replied, feeding me some lobster meat.It was tender, succulent, and slightly tangy. The lobster was
