Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1228

Atlas forcefully slammed the notebook onto the coffee table with a loud smack, saying, "The notebook is here. I want to see him."

A smirk played at the corner of Navi's mouth, and the hand holding the pipe trembled slightly.

It seemed he was finding it difficult to contain himself. His urgency was palpable. But despite his apparent eagerness, he looked frustrated.

"Well? Do you have any other conditions?" Atlas stared at Navi's face, deliberately pressing him. "Speak up."

Navi laughed awkwardly, retracting his greedy gaze and trying to relax.

Without giving him a chance to think, Atlas continued, "I just want to take him away today, Mr. Navi. This notebook is important to you, but it’s equally important to other people. I won’t let you have it if I don’t see him. And... there's one more thing. I can still take him away, even without the notebook."

Navi squinted his eyes slightly, and I tensed up. If he gave the order, we would be outnumbered. Without the notebook, we'd be in danger, and the same would be true for my father.

"You seem impatient, Mr. Atlas. I just wanted to meet you two today, and then we can discuss the exchange. After all, Mr. Rory has been with me for some time, so I need to... prepare." Navi seemed hesitant.

Atlas picked up the notebook and handed it back to Cane behind him.

"It seems you’re not ready yet, or perhaps you have other conditions. If that's the case, we’re in no rush." Atlas's tone was light and casual.

One of Navi's men who had been standing at the door immediately stepped forward, appearing somewhat impatient. The men behind him were also eager to take action.

It seemed they were truly desperate for the notebook.

I instantly felt nervous and tried my best to remain calm.

Atlas looked at the man suddenly, his sharp eyes sweeping over him, causing the young man to look at Navi immediately.

Navi scolded angrily, "Back off!"

The men looked at Navi. The one who had acted first said, "But..."

"Back off!" Navi roared, irritated.

The men looked at each other, and in the end, they had no choice but to step back, leaving only two people at the door.

"Sorry for the trouble." Navi eased the atmosphere. "Mr. Atlas, I’m still serious about the exchange. Over the years, I’ve treated Mr. Rory well while he's been with me. I'm willing to return him to you. But please give me some time to prepare. This is very sudden, and I'm afraid it might affect Mrs. Chloe's mood.
