A Man Like None Other

“Don’t be afraid, Mr. Goeckner. My daughter is chained up. She won’t be able to hurt you,” Atlas hastily reassured. He feared that Hyrum might be frightened away.

“A mere hysteria can’t scare me,” Hyrum replied. He immediately took out a packet of white powder and tossed it toward Effie. Effie inhaled the white powder, and immediately, she calmed down, her eyes gradually regaining clarity.

Atlas was thrilled by this unexpected development, not anticipating that Hyrum would swiftly subdue his daughter’s condition.

Stepping out of the arcane array, Hyrum addressed him, “Mr. Jablonski, your daughter’s condition is quite serious. If this continues, I fear she won’t have much time left…”

Hearing this, Atlas became panicked. “Mr. Goeckner, could you save my daughter? If you could cure her, I’ll do anything you ask. I can even retire from my mayorship and let you succeed me…”

Hyrum felt a surge of joy inside. Although he couldn’t be the mayor, he could certainly use Atlas to deal with Jared.
