"S-Someone paid us to do this." The man trembled under Atlas's intense gaze.
"Who?" Atlas asked sharply.

"J-Just one." The middle-aged man stared nervously at Atlas.
"How many?" Atlas repeated.
"Really... Just one," He affirmed. He didn't seem like he was lying.
Just then, Atlas's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, frowned, and turned to the airport police chief. "We need to go to the international departure gate restroom." The chief immediately pointed in that direction, and Atlas strode briskly over.

In the restroom, I saw a man lying on the floor, and his physique...

Everyone was stunned.
