Chapter 63 I'll Look Down on You
The evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear.
Harvey was shooting himself in the foot.
To ask people like Gunner for help was like asking a tiger for its skin. It is easier to summon an evil spirit than to send it away. In the end, he had a taste of his own medicine.
Blades asked cautiously, "Mr. Lincoln, do you have any other demands? If there is nothing else, I will leave now!"
"Go ahead!" Atlas said.
"Okay, okay!" Blades waved his hand at his men, and they ran away quickly.
Blades felt that staying with Atlas longer would make him feel depressed. Even Beckett had never made him so depressed.
The group of hooligans left. Atlas sat down calmly with no sadness or joy on his face and continued to eat.
Seeing this scene, everyone admired him.
Meeting with what had happened just then, 90% of them would have been scared to death and need a long time to recover from the fright.
However, Atlas acted as if nothing had happened.
"If I hadn't seen Blades bow in front of him with my own eyes, I would have thought that this guy was so obtuse that he wouldn't flinch even when he saw the mountains collapsing in front of him." Ken smiled wryly in his heart.
Georgie leaned closer to Atlas and said with a grin, "Atlas, what's your relationship with Mr. Jackman? Can you tell me something?"
Atlas put on a serious face, "Don't ask me. I'm not familiar with him."
Georgie rolled his eyes, "Man! Blades wouldn't be so polite to you if you are not familiar with Mr. Jackman."
Zoee comforted Helen, "Okay, Helen, it's all right!"
Helen was obviously not as mentally tough as Zoee. She was still a little in shock.
"Atlas, thank you!" She whispered and looked at Atlas with admiration.
"You're welcome." Atlas said.
Ken said to the rest of the people. "Well, it's all right. Let's continue to eat. Don't let them spoil our night!"
"Come on, Mr. Somberg, here's to you!" Ken raised his glass and said.
Quintin chuckled and raised his glass to drink.
"Actually, I've already called Ruben Kimmerly just now. He's on his way. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let these hooligans off so easily!" Quintin began to brag again.
"Of course, Mr. Kimmerly's strength is beyond doubt! Come on, I propose a toast to Mr. Somberg!" The eldest brother of the Aniston family greeted him politely. Although Quintin did not actually help them, he had made an effort after all.
At Atlas' table, Zoee sat beside him and kept watching him.
Atlas had become the focus of this table. Now, the other kids even felt a bit of admiration towards him.
After all, as a person who could talk to Beckett, the big boss of Lanceham, these ordinary students would definitely not dare treat him like before.
Harvey and Hank were all isolated by others.
He wanted to leave, but was worried that Gunner would be waiting for him outside. And staying here made him very uneasy. Even if the students didn't say anything, their gazes would made Harvey, who had been used to being proud, feel ashamed.
After the banquet, everyone left.
Ken were walking with the grown-ups in the front, followed by Atlas and the other kids.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the hotel, a young man, who was dressed in an unusual way, came in with a red-haired beauty in his arms.
"Mr. Kimmerly!" Seeing the coming person, Quintin was immediately excited and quickly stepped forward to welcome him.
"Oh, Quintin, why did you call me here?" Ruben Kimmerly patted Quintin's shoulder frivolously.
Quintin, the big boss, who was smiling, suddenly burst into tears when he heard Ruben's words.
"All right, all right, Quintin, tell me what's the matter? I'll help you!" Ruben couldn't stand this. If Quintin hadn't been useful to him, Ruben would have replaced him a long time ago.
Seeing this scene, Ken and the others almost puked out what they had just eaten. Just now, the supercilious Mr. Somberg, suddenly became a whiny little baby.
What a shameless person!
Quintin immediately broke into a smile and said: "Mr. Kimmerly, you have no idea about how I was bullied just now! If it weren't for the bodyguards protecting me, I would have been beaten by an arrogant boy today!"
Hearing this, Ken was alerted! It turned out that Quintin was not complaining about Gunner, but Atlas.
"Didn't you tell him that I'm your boss?"
Quintin said in a hurry, "I did, but he didn't care at all! He also said that even if you came in person, he wouldn't take you seriously!"
Ruben cursed angrily, "Which idiot is so arrogant that doesn't even care about me!"
At this time, Atlas and others walked up.
Quintin suddenly pointed at Atlas and yelled, "Mr. Kimmerly, it's that guy!"
With the cigar in his mouth falling to the ground, Ruben stared at Atlas.
"Which boy? The one wearing a white shirt?" Ruben asked. It was Atlas who wearing a white shirt.
Quintin nodded quickly. "Yes, it's him!"
Ken hurriedly tried to persuade him. "Mr. Somberg, the kids know nothing better. Why bother arguing with them?"
Quintin said arrogantly, "Ken, this is between me and that kid. Don't interfere. It's okay for him to humiliate me, but he even dares to humiliate Mr. Kimmerly. If I don't teach him a lesson, won't it make Mr. Kimmerly a laughing stock in the future?"
After that, Quintin pointed at Atlas, "Atlas, look at the person beside me!"
Atlas glanced at Quintin with a strange expression, and then his eyes fell on Ruben.
"Is this Mr. Ruben Kimmerly?" Atlas said with a smile.
Quintin burst into a belly laugh, "Yes, you do have some knowledge. Since you know this is Mr. Kimmerly, hurry up and apologize!"
Georgie, who was beside Atlas, shouted angrily, "Why?"
"It was you who teased Helen first, so Atlas taught you a lesson. If Atlas hadn't kindly let you go for Ken's sake, you would have been beaten up!"
Zoee also said with a regretful face, "Mr. Somberg, as the boss of the LEON Group and a distinguished elder, how can you confuse right and wrong and slander a young man?"
Quintin knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue with Georgie and Zoee. But he suddenly recalled something Atlas said back in the gallery.
"What a joke. Why would I do that to a kid?" Quintin stared at Zoee and Georgie coldly. "Atlas, let me ask you, did you say that you looked down on Mr. Kimmerly in the gallery?" Ken hurriedly shook his head at Atlas, indicating him not to admit it.
Zoee also turned to Atlas nervously and shook her head secretly.
Atlas suddenly raised his head slowly with a strange smile on his face. He looked at Quintin with pity. "I've said that I looked down on Mr. Kimmerly." Atlas said seriously. Ken, Zoee, and the others covered their faces and wished they did not know Atlas.
Quintin turned to look at Ruben in surprise and shouted, "Mr. Kimmerly, did you hear that? He admitted it himself!"
Atlas suddenly looked at Ruben, who seemed to be getting more and more awkward, and said playfully, "Mr. Kimmerly, I do look down on you. What are you going to do?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
