Chapter 183: The Web of Lies
Chapter: The Web of Lies
The room was eerily quiet after Adam delivered his last kick to Atlas, leaving him sprawled on the floor, bound to the chair. Atlas’s mind raced with questions.
Why had his team not come for him yet? Were they even looking for him? The uncertainty gnawed at his confidence, but he wouldn’t let it show.
As the minutes dragged on, the silence was broken once again by the sound of footsteps. Adam reappeared, his presence as commanding as before.
Atlas instinctively tensed, his frustration spilling out in a defiant shout.
"Why are you playing these mind games with me?!" he yelled. "Coming and going like this—what do you want from me?"
Adam, clad in black and his face concealed by a mask, walked forward without a word.
He carried himself with an unsettling calmness, the kind that made Atlas’s anger seem futile.
Taking his time, Adam reached the wooden chair that had toppled during their earlier scuffle. He grabbed it and set it upright in one fluid motion before lowering himself into it.
Sitting opposite Atlas, he finally spoke, his voice steady and devoid of emotion. "I only need answers to a few questions. Give them to me, and I promise you, nothing more will happen."
Atlas scoffed, his frustration boiling over. "Most people promise to release their captives after they get what they want. But you? You’re not even pretending, are you?"
