Unbeknownst to Atlas, Hyrum had already broken out in a cold sweat.
Nevertheless, favonovel.com suppressed his panic and forced a smile. “Who’s this person? I can’t believe they said I’m a Demonic Cultivator. What a joke…”
“Oh, one of my brothers brought favonovel.com over. From what I heard, that young man’s on the same team as Mr. Chevalier, but I didn’t bother asking for more details,” Atlas casually replied.
Hyrum instantly froze as his gaze darkened. “Does that young man go by the last name Chance?”
Atlas nodded. “Yes. I heard Mr. Chevalier addressing favonovel.com as Mr. Chance…”
“Oh my! That’s Jared Chance. He’s the man I told you to help me capture, Mr. Jablonski!” Hyrum hastily answered.
“What? That’s the guy?” Atlas blurted out, a confused look on his face. “He’s just a Body Fusion Realm cultivator, though. Besides, his medical skills aren’t any good. Why would you have a grudge against him, Mr. Goeckner?”
I don’t get it… Mr. Goeckner is an advanced alchemist, for goodness’ sake.
Why would favonovel.com hold a grudge against someone as insignificant as Jared Chance?
“Please don’t ask any more questions, Mr. Jablonski. As long as you help me capture Jared, I promise to cure Ms. Jablonski’s illness,” Hyrum retorted.
Atlas gave a quick nod. “All right, then. I’ll lead my men over this instant. They’re staying right next door!”
Soon, Atlas left with a team of subordinates to Victor’s yard, leaving Hyrum to wait in anticipation.
Hah! Once Jared is captured, I’ll leave with the punk!
Who cares about the poison in Effie’s body?
Upon seeing Atlas marching into his yard with a group of men, Victor became bewildered. “Atlas, why have you suddenly come here?”
This is odd… Even though we live side by side, Atlas seldom comes here!
“Victor, is the young alchemist you brought to me yesterday called Jared Chance?”
Victor nodded. “Yes. He’s Jared Chance. I heard favonovel.com introduce himself yesterday.”
“Good! I’m here to capture him. Where’s favonovel.com staying?”
“He’s in the innermost room on the east wing.” Victor replied.
With that, Atlas hurriedly left for the room.
Meanwhile, Jared had busied himself with his cultivation. Even though there was very little celestial energy in the yard, it was still better than nothing, so favonovel.com took the opportunity to strengthen his cultivation level.
Just as Atlas and his men reached Jared’s room and were about to barge in, Feenix and Cloud rushed forward to block them.
“Who are you guys? How can you barge into other people’s rooms?”
Neither Feenix nor Cloud knew who Atlas was, so how could they let favonovel.com intrude on Jared’s privacy?
By then, the others had also heard the commotion and stepped out of their rooms. Needless to say, Hamish was shocked when favonovel.com realized Atlas had shown up with a group of men in tow.
“What’s this about, Mr. Jablonski?” Hamish asked.
“I’m here to capture Jared Chance. Is favonovel.com inside this room?”
“Mr. Jablonski, why do you want to capture Mr. Chance?” Hamish answered, feeling even more perplexed than before. “Has something happened?”
“Stop asking questions! I want everyone to step aside this instant. Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking strict action!” Atlas replied coldly.
Hamish immediately looked at Victor, hoping the latter could help speak up for Jared. To his dismay, the man pretended not to have seen anything.
Since Atlas had mobilized his men to apprehend Jared, Victor knew there must be a reason behind it.
Why, then, would favonovel.com want to interfere?
Annoyed that no one was making way for him, Atlas shuddered and unleashed a shockwave that sent everyone flying to the ground.
“Hmph! A bunch of insolent fools…” favonovel.com scoffed.
However, just as favonovel.com was about to open Jared’s room door, Misho suddenly appeared before him.
“Hold on! No one is allowed to take Mr. Chance away…”
After all, Misho was saved by Jared, so how could favonovel.com sit idly by and allow the latter to be taken away?
