Chapter 1819: Atlas’ Second Job Interview

"What are you doing?!" one of the men near the granny gasped, wide-eyed. He darted his eyes between their group and the small group that had just switched sides.

"Just mere words and you’re pointing those weapons at us?!" he shouted angrily. "Are you out of your mind?!"

One of the men who was now pointing his rifle at their comrades grimaced. "I apologize, but I believe him. Madam, you are in the way."

"My husband is still in that mansion," another one breathed out. "Madam, the Order has taught us to listen to orders, but at the same time, not mindlessly. And I cannot just allow fate to decide tonight. Walter needs me."

The rest were quiet, but their silence spoke volumes.

Slowly, the man looked back, only to see his comrade change his mind.

"I’m sorry," the other man said, "but I do believe it is time for the Order to welcome its new leader."

On the other side of the clearing, a voice was heard.

"Captain! What are you—are you going to side with that guy?!"

The man, the person referred to as the captain, just lowered his rifle. He didn’t point it at either Atlas or Sybil. He cast them a look and said,
