Jennie did not believe that Atlas could reach the realm she dreamed of at such a young age.
However, she did not dare to doubt Mister Kane.
"Is that young man really a Martial Master?"
Mister Kane said, "Since he said that he could cure me, he wouldn't lie to me. There's no need for a master to lie to us. I'm just afraid that we can't give him the reward he wants!"
"All in all, remember what I said. He can't be our enemy!"
"Yes!" Jennie nodded.
Atlas and Augustin left by car.
In the car, Atlas had been recalling the identity of Mister Kane.
Judging from Augustin's respect for Mister Kane, she was definitely not a nobody.
In his previous life, he had lived Ridges for more than 20 years. He also had some knowledge of the big shots in Ridges. Except for Ronald Kimmerly, he had never heard of Mister Kane.
"Mr. Coleman, who is Mister Kane? I think you are very respectful to her!" Atlas asked tentatively.
Augustin said with a smile, "Mr. Lincoln, if you are interested in the identity of Mister Kane, I can tell you that she didn't deliberately hide her identity."
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Coleman."
Augustin suddenly asked mysteriously, "Mr. Lincoln, have you ever heard of Queen Kane of Nanin?"
"Queen Kane?" Atlas' heart suddenly jolted. He had heard of this name before.
Atlas was slightly surprised, "You mean, Mister Kane is the famous Queen Kane of Nanin?"
Augustin nodded. "Yes, it's Queen Kane."
Augustin's eyes were full of awe. He sighed, "Queen Kane is the ruler of the entire Ridges. She has six capable assistants and twelve followers under her command. Any one of them is a big shot in the city."
"In the political and business circles, there are people commanded by Queen Kane. It is said that she even had connections with the senior officials of Zuthana!"
Atlas was silent. He knew what Augustin said was true. Queen Kane was indeed a big name in Ridges.
It was no exaggeration to say that she was the uncrowned queen of Ridges.
"It turns out that such a big wheel has been suffering from illness all the time. No wonder I only heard of Queen Kane in my previous life, but I have never seen her before." Atlas secretly felt pity.
However, Queen Kane was lucky enough to run into him. Otherwise, she would never be able to get rid of the torment of illness for the rest of her life.
Augustin said, "Atlas, if you can cure Queen Kane, it will be of great benefit to you in the future!"
Atlas' lips curled up and said, "Mr. Coleman, don't worry. Since I have promised her, I will naturally cure her illness."
"Then I shall thank you on behalf of Queen Kane!"
Atlas did not speak but just glanced at Augustin. If Augustin knew that Atlas was willing to treat Queen Kane just because of him, what would he think?
As for Queen Kane, in Atlas' eyes, she was merely an ordinary person. Her power and status were insignificant to him.
However, Atlas still had to live in the mundane world for a period of time. It wouldn't do any harm to him if he could make friends with some significant figures here.
Augustin sent Atlas back to Sinclair Clinic and left.
Atlas entered the clinic and saw that Viviana was checking on a child.
He said to her, "I'm going out for a walk. Maybe I won't go back tonight. Tell Aunt Francis not to worry."
Viviana said grumpily, "Okay."
Atlas left and took a taxi to the mountain in the suburbs of Lanceham alone.
Tonight, his Cultivation Base could almost reach the early stage of Foundation Phase. He was worried that he would disturb the Sinclair family, so he did not plan to go back tonight.
In his previous life, Atlas was an Immortal Emperor going through heavenly tribulation. In this life, he had only returned to the path of cultivation. Foundation Phase was not difficult for him at all.
Atlas sat cross-legged on a stone and put the bread and milk bought from the supermarket aside. He had not reached Breatharians state yet so he needed to eat.
Then, he set up a simple Protective Shield around him and began to practice.
He opened the sack and saw the people inside with the torch left by those people.
It was an old man in a white robe with long gray hair and a bun.
After the sack was untied, there was an unpleasant smell of sweat.
If his hands and feet had not been tied up, he would've look like a sage.
Atlas removed the rag from his mouth, and the old man took a deep breath.
"Who are you? Why did they hurt you?"
After waiting for a while, the old man finally recovered. He sat up, looked at Atlas, and said, "Young lad, is there water? I'm so thirsty!"
Atlas threw him a bottle of mineral water.
"Thank you!" The old man opened the bottle, raised his head, and gulped down the water.
He drank up a bottle of water in one breath, burped, and then said with a smile, "This group of bastards. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died today."
"By the way, young lad, what are you doing on the mountain in the middle of the night?" The old man asked casually.
Then, as if he suddenly thought of something terrible, he hurriedly stepped back and looked at Atlas from a distance. He exclaimed, "Are you really a ghost?"
"Have you ever seen a ghost with mineral water?" Atlas said indifferently.
"Yes, ghosts don't drink water! It's all because of those little brats just now. They misled me." The old man began to curse the guys who had just run away.
Atlas looked at the strange old man and asked again, "You haven't answered my question yet."
The old man was stunned. He looked at Atlas and grinned, "I'm Zander Scott. How should I address you, little brother?"
"Cosimo Lincoln."
The old man patted his thigh and gave him a thumbs-up, praising, " Cosimo is a good name!I can tell that you have ambitions and won't settle for mediocrity! Your future is promising!"
