Atlas extended his hand to me, and I instinctively held it. His expression was cold as he said, “We don't have to continue this discussion if it's unpleasant. No one can stopfrom doing what I want." Martin was initially stunned by Atlas's sudden appearance. He only returned to his senses after seeing Atlas pullinginto his embrace. Martin's expression darkened, and a standoff seemed imminent.
"That statement might be exaggerated, sir." Apparently, Martin didn't recognize Atlas. "No one has dared to speak so boldly in my presence." Atlas's reply was imposing, "You'll hear it a lot more from now on." Meanwhile, Chad whispered something to Martin. Immediately after, the latter looked terrified as he stared at Atlas in disbelief. Kimberly couldn't help but look atin Atlas's arms. She angrily exclaimed, "Who is he?! Why does he treat you so well?!" I almost burst into laughter, wondering if she was even using her brain.

Suddenly, Jeremiah exclaimed, "Stop right there! Do you honestly think you can cand go as you please?" Atlas stopped but ignored Jeremiah and turned to the still-stunned Martin, saying, "Is that what you want?" Martin was tense as he said, "Mr. Atlas... right?" It seemed Chad had introduced him to Martin when he whispered earlier.
Atlas did not respond. Instead, he simply raised an eyebrow that made Kimberly's knees weak.
Martin was skeptical as he stared at Atlas. The former straightened his back and spoke sinisterly, "You should follow a place's rules andet customs wherever you go. Remember where you are, Mr. Atlas."
