Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1139: What a horrifying sight to behold.

"The base! I think... they're one of the guys they took to the base because one of them had been snooping around our territory!"

Deep lines appeared between Atlas's brows as he narrowed his eyes. But the man mistook Atlas's reaction for doubt.

"I saw them!" the man breathed out, his heart briefly stopping as he realized there was no going back now. "I saw them..."

Yet, Atlas still didn't answer, causing the man to panic.

"Believe me! I'm telling the truth!" the man exclaimed, clasping Atlas's feet as he rose to his knees. "That other guy is wearing this white polo and brown shorts! He's tall and has this pretty face! Then the other guy with him is shorter. I think the short guy is wearing black! He also has slightly curly, wavy hair! And these weird eyeglasses!"

"..." Atlas remained quiet, watching the man try to save himself. Whatever was happening inside must've scared the hell out of him, but what could Atlas expect?

Hugo was inside, and that man... rose in the ranks for a reason.

Slowly, Atlas squatted down in front of the guy kneeling before him. As soon as he did, they heard a deafening "bang!" from inside the pub, making the man flinch. But seeing that Atlas didn't budge, as if he wasn't worried about Hugo or Mark, the man felt his entire body tremble.

"I'm just new here," the man breathed out, shaking his head. "Please. Even if you kill me, I'm at the lowest of the low in the ranks. All I do is collect money from the shops around here and impose rules-I didn't do anything to those two."

"You said... they were taken in because one of them has been snooping around your territory?"

"That's what I heard!"

"You're wrong," said Atlas. "Your group has been mistaken. Those two might be curious, but they had no idea of what was going on around this island. That, I can assure you."

The man whimpered quietly. "That's impossible."

"Impossible?"
