Chapter 7 Former Classmates
A group of young men and women about Atlas' age had sarcastic smiles on their faces.
The one who spoke was a young man carrying a horsewhip and waling in strut.
These men were Atlas' high school classmates. The young man who spoke was called Harvey
Channing, whose family owned a famous supermarket brand and had a fortune of tens of millions of
dollars.
"Atlas, I haven't seen you since graduation. How are you getting on now?" A beautiful, refined girl in the
crowd asked with a touch of surprise in her voice.
The girl was wearing a white blouse on top and a black princess skirt on the bottom. Although it was
not a designer brand, it looked particularly good on her.
The most attractive thing was that this girl had a baby face but big breasts.
The girl's name was Zoee Aniston and she was also a high school classmate of Atlas. She was the
cutest girl in high school and he heard that she was still the campus belle when she went to college.
Once during her senior year of high school, Zoee was stopped by some hooligans and Atlas saved her.
Since then, Zoee had had a crush on Atlas.
Unfortunately, in his previous life, Atlas had low self-esteem and was afraid to accept Zoee's feelings
for him, even though he knew about it.
Zoee, on the other hand, never changed her love for him. It was heard that Zoee had never had a
boyfriend even after she went to university.
When Atlas was found by his biological parents and became a rich boy, Atlas came to look for Zoee but
never saw her again.
Later, he heard from some of his classmates that Zoee's family seemed to have offended someone,
and they were forced to leave Lanceham.
"In my previous life, I have owed you so much. In this life, I will do everything I can to make it up to
you!"
Atlas ignored Harvey and his men and looked at Zoee. He walked up to her and gave a soft smile, "I'm
fine. Are you doing well?"
Zoee was a little surprised. She had thought Atlas disliked her, because whenever he spoke to her, he
looked away.
It was the first time Atlas had looked her in the eye and spoke to her at such a close distance. Zoee
could feel Atlas' masculinity.
What was more, Atlas gave her a tender smile.
Even though she knew Atlas was married, Zoee's face flushed. She lowered her head and her voice
was soft, "I'm fine. Thank you for asking!"
Atlas reached out and rubbed the strands of hair on Zoee's forehead, and smiled gently, "Note down
my mobile number. If anything happens in the future, you must call me."
"Okay!" Zoee looked up at Atlas with complicated emotions in her eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head
again.
Zoee had mixed feelings in her mind, "What Atlas did was quite intimate, but he's married ..."
This intimate gesture by Atlas was actually unintentional. Now, Atlas was in the mindset of an old man
who had lived for over 800 years, while Zoee was a little girl in his eyes.
But next to him, Harvey and the others' faces instantly went cold. They had managed to find an excuse
to ask Zoee out, but Zoee's attitude towards them was nonchalant.
However, the moment Atlas met her, he was making such intimate moves towards Zoee. How could
they stand it!
And many of them were also hitting on Zoee and would not allow Atlas, a Kept Man, to get his hands
on her.
"Kept Man A, you're married. But you're still hitting on Zoee? Aren't you afraid your wife will kick you Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
out of the house?" Harvey sneered.
Atlas still ignored him and said to Zoee, "Why don't we go and sit over there? The fly here is so
annoying."
"Are you looking for a fight?" Harvey grimaced, wondering if Atlas was a different person. How dared
he, a wimp, talk back to him and call him a fly?
In front of so many classmates, Harvey was humiliated.
Zoee glared at Harvey solemnly and said coldly, "Harvey, don't you mess around!"
Seeing Zoee actually defending Atlas, Harvey became even angrier.
"Zoee, he's been a live-in son-in-law and you're still protecting him?" Harvey really didn't understand
what was going on in this woman's head. She had rejected his courtship, but couldn't forget about a
wimp.
"Atlas may be married, but that doesn't affect our friendship!" Zoee said firmly.
Harvey tried to lash out while a young man with an earring stepped forward and leaned over to whisper
in Harvey's ear for a moment.
Harvey listened and gave an odd smile.
Atlas recognized the boy. His name was Hank Young and he was Harvey's sidekick who had been
acting as Harvey's adviser since his high school days.
If it was in his previous life, Atlas would have excused himself when he saw Hank giving Harvey wicked
smiles.
But in this life, Harvey was nothing in Atlas's eyes.
Harvey smiled with contempt and said, "Kept Man A, how about we have a horse race? Whoever loses
will get the hell out of here. Do you dare to bet?"
Zoee hurriedly said, "Atlas, don't promise him. He's a regular here and he's a good rider. He knows
every horse in the place. You can't win against him!"
Atlas patted Zoee's hand and said, "Don't worry. I know what I am doing!"
He turned his head to look at Harvey and said indifferently, "Tell me, what's the bet?"
"You promise?" Harvey showed a flash of surprise. He hadn't expected Atlas to say yes. He had
thought he would use the opportunity to humiliate Atlas and make him lose face in front of Zoee.
But he didn't expect Atlas to change his mind this time and agree to race with him!
In fact, when Atlas saw Harvey, he wanted to teach him a lesson. But now that he hadn't recovered his
strength, it wouldn't do him any good if he drew the police over, so he could only hold back for the time
being.
Although Atlas was reborn, there were still many things on Earth that could hurt him, and at this
moment, he still needed to keep a low profile.
Now he was taking advantage of the horse race to teach Harvey a lesson, to get back at him first.
Harvey said hastily, "We'll each pick a horse, and whoever finishes a lap first will be the winner. How
about that?"
"Alright!" Atlas didn't hesitate and agreed decisively.
"Atlas ..." Zoee was a little anxious and tried to persuade him again, but was stopped by Atlas with a
look.
Zoee felt that Atlas was showing powerful confidence that even she was infected with.
"Let's start choosing horses!" Harvey seemed to be afraid that Atlas might suddenly back out, and after
saying that, he went to pick out a horse.
Harvey picked a big, brown, tall horse with strong limbs. But the horse was too tall that it looked a little
skinny instead.
A middle-aged man wearing a windshield hat in the nearby rest area smiled at the woman beside him
and said, "This boy looks frivolous, but I didn't expect him to show great discernment in his choice of
horses."
Looking at the man and woman in their outfits, it was clear that they were also equestrians.
The woman shook her head and said, "The horse he picked looks tall, but it's not well-proportioned.
Although it has great explosive power within a short time, it lacks staying power."
"They bet on running a lap. What do you need staying power for? It's the explosive power that counts.
That's why I said he was discerning." The man chuckled.
"So that's it. This boy is very discerning. I just wonder how the other boy is?" The middle-aged woman
suddenly looked at Atlas with curiosity.
