Beyond the Divorce

I felt worried when I saw him about to leave in a hurry. I grabbed him, wanting to remind him once more to find Atticus as soon as possible, or else he would be in danger.

"Hmm? What's up?" He paused, looking at me with concern.

"Don't let anything happen to Atticus." I looked at him, feeling a bit choked up. Atticus hadn't done anything excessive to us as far as we were concerned.

"I know." Atlas patted my back. "This is serious. I won't take it lightly."

"Please take care of yourself too."

He pulled me into an embrace and kissed my forehead. "Trust me, don't worry."

Then he quickly left the room.

I felt uneasy. Dylan was still in Nocturnia handling things, and only Cane and I were here. On top of that, we didn't know much about Atticus's situation.

When I saw Atticus, I had clearly sensed that he wanted to say something to me, but he hesitated. He had changed his mind after hearing me mention Leonard and wanted to see Atlas instead, which indicated that there was definitely more to the situation. I regretted not keeping Atticus back.

This clearly indicated a problem: Atticus was targeted as soon as he got off the plane. Otherwise, how could he have been kidnapped?

But why did Atticus say that the other party was targeting Echelon Group?
