GoodNovelV I felt worried when I saw him about to leave in a hurry. I grabbed him, wanting to remind him once more to find Atticus as soon as possible, or else he would be in danger.
"Hmm? What's up?" He paused, looking atwith concern.
"Don't let anything happen to Atticus." I looked at him, feeling a bit choked up. Atticus hadn't done anything excessive to us as far as we were concerned.
"I know." Atlas patted my back. "This is serious. I won't take it lightly." "Please take care of yourself too." He pulledinto an embrace and kissed my forehead. "Trust me, don't worry." Then he quickly left the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI felt uneasy. Dylan was still in Nocturnia handling things, and only Cane and I were here. On top of that, we didn't know much about Atticus's situation.
When I saw Atticus, I had clearly sensed that he wanted to say something to me, but he hesitated. He had changed his mind after hearingmention Leonard and wanted to see Atlas instead, which indicated that there was definitely more to the situation.
I regretted not keeping Atticus back.
This clearly indicated a problem: Atticus was targeted as soon as he got off the plane. Otherwise, how could he have been kidnapped? But why did Atticus say that the other party was targeting Echelon Group? The more I thought about it, the less sense it made.
Just then, my phone suddenly rang, startling me. I picked up my phone from the bedside table and glanced at it to find that it was Trinity.

Then Trinity said without regard for the time, "We'reing over." "Okay." Although I was a bit surprised, I didn't refuse. I knew Ross had something to say tobecause he had formally greetedduring dinner.
After hanging up the phone, I quickly went downstairs. Since it was late, my parents had returned to their rooms to rest.

"Mr. Ross, wee." His introduction leftfeeling a mix of emotions, and for a moment, I didn't know how to accept this fact. Trinity pulledback to reality with a tug. "Don't just stand there, Chloe. He's definitely your cousin." I regained my senses and stepped aside. "Pleasee in." They followedstraight into the living room and sat on the sofa. I instructed Jim to serve us tea.
Ross got straight to the point. "The main reason I cto Foswood was to see you and Atlas.
