Atlas turned his head. He ended up saying only some of the things he had just prepared.
Now his eyes see a woman with a luxurious style. Noble looks perfect in her bag and shoes, and many eyes watch her.
"Hey, what are you guys up to?!" snapped the woman, who immediately sucked everyone's attention, including Arlo, the man who had just said Atlas casually.
Allison, that woman's name. She had smooth, shining white skin and long hair, very pretty for a woman her age. Once again, the clothes she wears don't fit the eye.
Meanwhile, in silence, Allison looked Atlas up and down. She saw Atlas's shabby appearance and messy appearance because all of the man's belongings fell to the asphalt.
“Oh, we're not doing anything, Allison. I'm annoyed with this guy who ran into me first. Shouldn't we walk while looking at the road properly? With his shabby face and clothes, this man was walking around casually. It's normal, isn't it, when I'm angry?”
Arlo expressed his version of the reason. That's playing the victim. Are they walking together without seeing the way in the right way?
Allison turned her head and saw Arlo. Her face was straight, while the face of the man she saw now continued to show a wide smile.
Atlas, who heard that took a deep breath. Why is his luck so unlucky? Earlier, he was hit by a person with a big mouth, now he has become a witness to an unstable young man approaching a woman.
"It seems my day is tough in this city," Atlas muttered softly. He now saw all his belongings scattered everywhere. A little weary and tired. He always ends up in other people's eyes as a shabby person and is even equated with a street beggar.
The definition of clothes in the style of Atlas and others may be different. He chooses comfortable, not other people's views. But isn't it permissible to judge from your point of view? Why do so many people do wrong things like that young man named Arlo?
Besides himself, the woman's gaze differed significantly from Arlo's. It was clear that he also received the same assessment.
Allison closed her eyes. The man in front of her had a lot to say. Also, his behavior greatly irritated Allison a little. They stopped at the convenience store just now because Arlo wanted to buy something. Still, this kind of commotion broke out, wasting a lot of Allison's precious time.
“He sucks. If there were no business dealings with him, I wouldn't have to come and get involved in this business," Allison complained in her heart.
From Arlo's point of view, interpreting Allison's closing eyes was a sign that the woman had feelings for him. Suddenly he took a step closer.
“Allison, are you okay? Do you have a headache?" Arlo asked quickly.
Allison took a step back. She was uncomfortable being approached by this man, who seemed to be trying to get her attention. She took a deep breath, her head suddenly felt dizzy.
"We better continue on our way. We have lunch and need to talk business, Sir Arlo," Allison said coldly.
Arlo wants to spend time with Allison, but if he gets into trouble too much, his time with Allison will decrease later.
"We have to go now and I'm starving. So, get over this matter." Allison looked at Arlo and then at Atlas.
"You must be starving, Allison. Alright, let's go now for lunch. I don't want you to get sick, Allison." Arlo said sweetly, he walked ahead of Allison.
Atlas is now still picking up his scattered belongings. He could move faster. But he didn't want to bother the other two and had unfinished business here.
Seeing that all of this had finally ended, Allison could finally breathe a sigh of relief. It's embarrassing to be making noise on the side of the road like this and trying to bully people who are more harmful. She doesn't like the rude Arlo but business is business.
Allison's expression did not escape Atlas's gaze, he chuckled again. Everything was in one old suitcase of his. He wouldn't let anyone touch him again. This incident will not be repeated.
"Finally, it was finished and my suitcase was not damaged," said Atlas while rechecking the suitcase.
Allison watched the surroundings riled up. She had to leave quickly, or else she would be greeted again by Arlo's loud voice, which could cause chaos again.
She approaches Atlas. One last thing she had to take care of.
"Hey. You don't look like a resident of this town. If so, then I suggest buying clothes immediately. Because in this city a little bit sensitive to appearance problems. Yes, you know that towns and villages are different.”
Atlas is silent. He didn't want to hear any more words, let alone those from the woman in front of him.
“But you have high empathy. The beggar is the proof you want to buy food for him. I saw you from afar. But I was getting closer when I heard a commotion.”
Atlas was still silent. He didn't expect that Allison had noticed him and decided to come here so the commotion wouldn't continue.
“So, this is for you,” Allison said as he handed a piece of money to Atlas. Even the woman forced Atlas's hand to accept it.
"Here's a hundred dollars. Whether or not it's the same as what you're used to, if it's used to buy something in this town, it'll be able to buy food. So buy the food you want. Think of it as replacing the bread that was dropped earlier.”
Atlas raised one eyebrow. He was confused.
"Then I'm leaving."
Allison left before Atlas. Leaving one big question and also a relatively valuable piece of money.
“I have even more than this,” he said in a weak voice.
Atlas finally saw Arlo's car, Allison, leave this place.
"City people are a little annoying." Atlas shook his head. He walked to buy food that fell after he purchased it and immediately gave some food to the beggar he had seen earlier.
"Now, let's go to where my future wife is." Atlas smiled. He quickly got into the taxi he managed to stop, and gave the address he had written on the paper to the taxi driver, who stared at him in disbelief.
"This is an elite area."
Atlas tilted his head. So what?
Atlas finally arrived at his destination, the Ortega family's mansion. Atlas smiled faintly even though he had felt uncomfortable with the cynical taxi driver earlier during the trip. Finally, after the many obstacles he had experienced since the trip, he could sigh in relief. There is only one step left to complete the task."Okay, I'll go in. The sooner the better,” Atlas muttered.He immediately pushed open the gate, which made the bodyguards who were there approach him quickly. The bodyguards stopped his footsteps. Someone suddenly shouted at him loudly.“Hey, beggar! Why are you so presumptuous to enter someone else's house without permission?!”Atlas turned to his side. He now saw several bodyguards who put fierce faces on him. They looked at Atlas with sharp eyes.Atlas took a deep breath. "Sorry, Sir. I have important business to go inside. Because I have to meet the owner of this house." Atlas spoke politely, he did make a mistake earlier by just walking in. But that was bec
Atlas tried to find the right opening to see that person. Only when he turned around did he know who was speaking in support of him. "That's the woman from earlier," Atlas muttered in his heart. In tune with Alison's gaze. She was also surprised to see the man she had met at the supermarket earlier. “He's the same person. That guy at the supermarket just now,” Alison muttered in her heart. Even though she was shocked, she tried to stay regular. Arriving in front of all of them, she joined the crowd of bodyguards, also the three members of the Ortega family and also Atlas, Alison glanced at Atlas. She was a little relieved because Atlas did not immediately identify himself. “You just came in and immediately said nonsense. Just look at him. His appearance is simply impossible to meet grandfather.” Robert said. He was so arrogant. That's just her nature, and Atlas saw him from the first time she came here. "But there must be a reason, grandfather told Atlas to come to the house, rig
Benedict's expression was stiff, the pain made his body crumble.His hands couldn't contain the blood he had just spat out from his mouth. Except for Atlas, everyone present looked on in horror.“I told you! He has no ability! The villager is deceiving! He wants to kill grandpa!” Robert shouted, he tugged at Atlas's shirt. His grip is very firm.Alison ran to Benedict, and she touched her grandfather in great fear. She was shaking violently.“That ancient ability is completely useless! Alison, you are so stupid for believing in this guy!”Lola pointed at Alison, and she threw all the blame on Alison arrogantly."Everything is fine." Atlas was still speaking in a calm voice. He stared at the red face in front of him, and Robert raised his hand.“You should understand that there's no need to get involved. You are an idiot! I can't possibly understand medical matters. I doubt you can read a book!”Robert pushed Atlas, and he fell to the floor with his hands squeezed.He wanted to bring i
Alison repeatedly walked into her room. She chose her own hands, which she had just heard from her grandfather's mouth.Now that her grandfather was in the bathroom, a maid helped Benedict to clean himself of the blood.When the bathroom door opened, Alison looked straight at her grandfather, her eyes filled with sadness. Benedict shifted his gaze elsewhere. He sat on the couch and shooed away the maid who had helped him earlier."Grandfather knows you must be disappointed with grandfather," Benedict spoke first. Alison was taken aback by Benedict's words. She couldn't sit up, her whole body was very unsettled.Getting married was complex, and her grandfather should have understood that. Since childhood, Alison has always heard Benedict's words about marriage that can only be done once in a lifetime.And that is also what makes Benedict disappointed with James—his first child, Alison's father.James abandoned the Ortega name only to marry Alison's mother. However, Benedict was more di
Atlas looked up at the blue sky, the atmosphere was not noisy with the sunlight warm enough. He managed to escape from a house with many condescending people briefly.Footsteps sounded, Atlas didn't move, he was still looking at the sky above him."I don't like this." Her cold voice matched her expression. Only a few times, Atlas heard her voice, but he had memorized it was Alison's voice."I don't like you being here. Go back to your village, I will give you money.” Alison took a check out of the little bag she was still holding and wrote 1000 dollars. She thought that would be plenty for the poor man in the cheap clothes in front of her."This is for you. I don't want to marry you. Everyone will laugh at me."Atlas finally moved, and he looked over. The check paper in front of him. It's a decent amount, but his face is flat at the sight of Alison."Miss, listen to your grandfather's words yourself. You shouldn't act like this, do you want to go against Grandfather's words.”Alison w
Atlas was in his room, he was watching the large room. It is three times as big as his house on the mountain. Yes, indeed, this house is big, it looks like a palace.The bedroom door opened, Benedict entered and Atlas stood up. “Grandpa, what's going on here? Even though grandpa can walk now, grandpa has to rest. Grandpa can't do many things at this fast pace yet.”Atlas held Benedict's arm, he didn't want Benedict to force himself. At that moment, he felt Benedict's blood flow. He made Benedict sit on the couch in his bedroom."How? You like your temporary room, Atlas?”"Temporary?" asked Atlas in surprise. He thought that a smaller room was being prepared for him. “Yes, this room is too big, grandpa. Moving to a smaller room would suit me better.”He tried to speak softly. A thin smile graced his face. He admired the old figure in front of him, according to Master Blake that this man was a wise man, and Atlas could see his wisdom on his face. It's only natural that he could make his
Ayla had heard everything that had happened to Alison. She found Alison very pathetic. She touched her cheek, and a sigh escaped her mouth."Is your grandfather not embarrassed if people will talk about your wedding later?" Ayla was astonished, she couldn't think how a freak like Atlas would even marry a woman from the Ortega family."Maybe grandpa really doesn't love me." Alison drank the drink in front of her. She finished it and her eyes darted around.The bustling with the flashing lights, even when she was here, she didn't feel at ease at all. Her mind was not distracted from the shabby-dressed man who was now in her house. She squeezed the glass hard.Alison admits that she is happy that Atlas's abilities have awakened her grandfather. But she still doesn't want to marry her."You have to find a reason to say no, Alison."“I kicked him out with a check for 1000 dollars. I thought that was enough for him. But he refused.""Maybe he wants more. Because they're poor, they have to g
The red heels on her feet made her look even prettier, even though she was wearing 7 cm heels, her height couldn't beat Atlas's.“Alison, you should go with Atlas. He was new here and didn't know much about the place. You two will also soon be husband and wife.”Alison stopped when she heard those words come out of her grandfather's mouth.“Grandpa, but I have a meeting soon. I don't want to be late."Alison refused, she looked into her grandfather's eyes pitifully.“Grandpa, I can walk alone. Walking around must be fun.” Atlas didn't want to make trouble. He knew that Alison didn't like her grandfather's wishes. So that the woman would not be angry with him, Atlas wanted to do what Alison wanted."That's okay. Alison is your future wife, Atlas.” Benedict raised his hand, stopping another rebuttal from Atlas's mouth. “Alison,” he said, looking at Alison. An emphasized word made Alison gasp."Let's go. I have to get to the office asap.”Alison walked first and got into her white car. A
