Atlas paid no mind to Navi's attitude. He strode over and pulled me into his arms. "Are you hurt?"Navi's men raised their guns, and the atmosphere tensed up. Millard stepped forward, pointing at Atlas. "Back off!"Atlas ignored him completely, his eyes filled with concern as he looked at me. I gave him a reassuring squeeze and shook my head. "I'm fine."Our eyes met, and we shared an unspoken understanding. It seemed he knew Millard's men had turned against him."Hand over the notebook!" One of Navi's guards demanded, pointing his gun at us.Cane immediately bellowed, "Step back!"The guy glanced at Cane, noticing smoke rising from the notebook's edges.Startled, he took a step back, aiming his gun at Cane. "Give me the notebook, or I'll blow your brains out!""Empty threats mean nothing," Cane scoffed."You dare to defy me on my turf?" Navi was furious, his eyes fixed on the notebook, fearing it might vanish into thin air.Even his lips trembled with fear as he hysterically

Stella seemed to sense my emotions and turned to me, "Chloe, stop deluding yourself. You'll never see him again. Just consider him dead from that plane crash years ago!"Then she laughed maniacally. "It was him who killed Louis and his wife. Atlas, you still treat her like she’s a treasure, but if it weren't for Rory's betrayal, how could Louis and Hana have died? Now you're even embracing the daughter of your father's murderer! You're a good son indeed.""Who are you to say all those things to me?" Atlas looked down at Stella, who was crawling on the ground nearby disdainfully."Hahaha... You'll regret it sooner or later. You want to find Rory? Forget about it. And Atlas, let me tell you, this time you might not be able to escape because... my people are arriving soon.""Then I'll see what your people are capable of," Atlas said nonchalantly."Since you're heartless to me, don't blame me for being indifferent to you. You're not the only one who can strategize, my dear cousin." St

Atlas swiftly ran toward the door with me while Cane and Dylan provided cover for us. I shouted to Atlas, "What about my dad?"Atlas didn't respond to my question, and I couldn't help but cry uncontrollably.Walking away like this, I felt like I might never see him again.Atlas's face was grim, but he forcefully led me away amidst the intense gunfire and explosions, jumping into the door.Once inside, Atlas hugged me tightly and wiped away my tears. "Don't cry. Ensure your safety so we can continue searching for him. I haven't given up, and I won't. Trust me."I understood what Atlas meant and believed he wouldn't give up. But at that moment, my inner reluctance consumed my thoughts.I struggled to control my emotions and tearfully looked at Atlas. "Take Anya. She's still young.""Don't worry, they won't leave her behind."After saying that, Atlas dragged me without hesitation into the depths of the secret passage.The passage was narrow, allowing only two people to walk side

Everyone could see that it was Loak, who had been missing all this time. He seemed to be smiling lightly.By now, Cane and Dylan had reached them. Together, they lifted the man off Loak's back, exclaiming loudly, "It's Mr. Rory! It’s him!”Joy surged in my heart. "Dad!"As I was about to rush over, I saw Loak collapse."Loak!" Anya's crying voice echoed.Stunned, I looked at the man they had brought down and then at the fallen Loak. My first instinct was to rush to Loak's side.Atlas came over to check on Loak's injuries. I saw that he was wounded in the abdomen and chest. Blood was still oozing out from his wounds."Loak. Wake up." I tapped his face gently. He was terribly pale now, indicating his severe injuries.Anya sobbed uncontrollably, kneeling beside me and pleading, "Mrs. Chloe, save my brother. Please save him.”"Atlas, we need to save Loak." I looked at Atlas.Atlas got up and checked on them. Then, he took out his phone and made a call before he gave instructions

The man lying on the hospital bed before me was frail and weak. He was nothing but skin and bones. He resembled a skeleton. His hair was gray, his cheeks were sunken, and only his cheekbones remained prominent, making him look much older than his actual age. But it was clear that he had been handsome. You could see it amidst his pallid complexion.His condition made it clear that he had been confined underground for a long time. Coupled with malnutrition, he basically looked half-dead.I couldn't imagine how he had survived these past twenty years.He still hadn't regained consciousness. If it weren’t for his faint breaths, I wouldn’t have believed he was still alive. I stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do, my emotions running high.Atlas embraced me and gently guided me forward. "This is your father. The examination results aren't out yet. Let's wait."I turned to Atlas. "Is this really my father?""Yes, it’s your father who loves you deeply." Atlas's gaze was serious
