Chapter 1820: Atlas’ fate sealed

Under the surface, what Atlas had done looked so easy. However, Sybil knew that wasn’t the case. Although she had to consider the simmering anger brewing within her people’s hearts, something like that would easily sway them.

So, why did they listen to Atlas?

It was simple—Atlas just said every damn word that needed to be said without any pretense. He didn’t project himself as someone who was there to save the day. He came with clear intentions and made that very clear.

He wanted the Order, and he would get it.

Even if it meant ordering Sybil’s own men to kill their own boss.

Who in their right mind would do that? If anything, Sybil would expect being forced to surrender or dying in a confrontation. But Atlas just stood there and talked; he didn’t flinch, didn’t think.

Just by that, Atlas was able to showcase what kind of person he was and what kind of leader he would be.

"Young man, you do understand that once I announce you as the new head of the Zorken and the Shadow Order, you’ll have to leave behind the life you once knew." Her calm voice broke the silence between them, making Atlas turn his attention to her. "Just like how I’ve given your sister a chance, I will give you a chance."

"I can lend you a hand now, and forget that you wanted them," she offered. "We’ll even forget that you’ve been here, and said what you said. Once your family is safe, we’ll part ways."
