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
Giselle kept looking at the young man in front of her. Someone who refused the wishes of someone like her must be a fool, but Giselle assumed that this young man didn't even know who she was."Why can't I get you to work at the company?""Because I don't understand how it works."“I will test it. There will be someone to teach you too, I know you must be capable of that. Don't worry, you will be taught by someone skilled, Atlas."Giselle spoke casually, and when she made up her mind then, it was difficult to change. Even the man in front of her refused her request, even though Giselle knew that Atlas needed a job.Atlas had opened his mouth to speak again, but Giselle was faster than he was."You can read, right?" Giselle suddenly looked at Atlas, which made Atlas nod."Then you are welcome to work with me." Giselle stretched out her hand, she smiled at Atlas and made Atlas confused about what she was going to do. She had another reason for hiring Atlas, using someone who had helped h
Atlas didn't accept it and he seemed to approach Robert's red car.In front of him, he stopped, the sharp eyes shown by Atlas displeased Robert. That made Robert finally get out of his car."What do you want? You're going to threaten me and beat me like a barbarian, you are so uncivilized!” Robert got close to his face, and he provoked Atlas into violence. Luckily Atlas is someone who can hold himself well.He caught his breath. It didn't even look like it at all.“I didn't do that, but the one who hit first was brutal, that's what this security guard did. How could they mock me and intend to beat me.”Robert looked at the security guard, the big security guard was still conscious, he shook his head, trying to dodge the truth that Atlas said.“The security guards here never do anything like that. You're just making excuses, Beggar.”"Stop talking like that!" Atlas raised his voice with suppressed anger. His ears were hot and his fists were so hard.If he had not been taught by Master
