If I can lure her into my trap, I can pull out the mastermind." "Do you have a target then?" I asked Atlas.

"The timing. Everything that has happened since my father's return is related to him," Atlas said confidently. "Anything could happen." I couldn't help but admire Atlas's meticulousness. He wouldn't overlook any detail.
I told him about my previous feelings toward this person. Atlas scoffed, pinching my cheek and saying, "When someone does something, they'll always leave traces behind." "I can't imagine a person like that could be associated with a notorious fugitive." I shuddered at the thought.

He smiled gently. "Got it, wife. I'll do whatever you say." "Then go quickly. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back," I urged. I knew he would lose track of tonce he got busy.
