1.9 This messenger feels freely

Atlas got out of the car and looked up at the skyscraper. Today, he'll let the original's essence go into reincarnation. The original died with rage in his heart, a rage so strong he can't let go.

He's unable to continue on his journey to reincarnation until he releases it. He'll only be ready to do that if he gets revenge.

Atlas knew he could get a lot of power from them once, he freed them. Moreover, it also helps them cross over the Nai He bridge.

The stronger the anger and resentment, the more power he receives once they're free. He walked in with a smile.

A-Xue was in the conference room with the board members, looking at the empty chair at the head of the table. Soon that chair will be mine.

He looked at Wei Shujun who was at the left of it, and smiled. When the door opened, he nodded at him and looked at it.

He watched as Atlas strolled in with a cocky grin. Atlas said hello to the board members and sat at the head. He looked at A-Xue and asked:

"Happy Birthday, brother. Did you sleep well?"

Everyone thought that he genuinely inquired about his brother's health, while A-Xue was the only one who knew it was a provocation.

He grounded his teeth and forced a smile.

"Happy Birthday brother, I slept well, thank you."

Atlas gave him a mocking smile and leaned back in his chair.

"My father left in his will that once I turn twenty, I would take the president's chair."

He looked around the room, but no one said anything.

"Since no one is opposed, let's end this meeting."

Atlas was about to stand up, but he stopped when A-Xue said:

"Hold on brother, maybe we should put it to a vote."

"Even if we were to do that, you have no say. You don't own any shares of the company."

A-Xue's eyes turned red in anger. Atlas sneered:

"Quite frankly, I don't understand why you are here."

A-Xue couldn't stop himself from yelling:

"I've been working at this company for the past two years, while you started a week ago! I have more right to be president than you!"

Atlas laughed. A-Xue looked at one of the board members knowingly. One man said:

"I would like to present A-Xue as a candidate for the presidency."

A-Xue looked at Atlas his eyes full of confidence. Wei Shujun said:

"Let's just put it to a vote. Those in favor of A-Xue being president."

All the board members lifted their hands, except Wei Shujun.

"Those in favor of Atlas being president."

Atlas and Wei Shujun lifted their hands. A-Xue looked at Wei Shujun wide-eyed. He is dating his daughter, and he's been working with him for two years. The last time he saw Atlas was when he was fifteen, but he still voted for him.

He thought that Wei Shujun was a done deal. He stood up and shouted:

"Shengli and I have been working our asses off at this company for the past two years. While he was somewhere else, having fun. We're the reason it became second to Nexus."

Wei Shujun tilted his head and asked:

"Really? You're the one who created all those new products, that everyone has been fighting to get their hands on?"

A-Xue wanted to say something, but couldn't. He knows nothing about technology. He retorted:

"I didn't, but he didn't either, so why are you voting for him?"

"I've always said to your father that I wanted a president who knows the field, not someone who only wants the title. That's why I voted for him. He's done more for the company the three years he was away, than you'll ever be able to in a lifetime."

A-Xue looked at him incredulously and asked:

"You were in contact?"

"No, but every product sold by our company over the past three years, was created by him."

A-Xue banged on the table.

"Stop lying! Shengli created them."

"Actually, Atlas did. I just presented them to the board."

Shengli came in and sat on Atlas' right. He opened an envelope and his assistant took the papers, handing them to everyone.

They looked at the name on the patent of every one of the released products, over the past three years. They all said Atlas. Every board member looked at Atlas shocked.

They all thought that the success of the company was due to Shengli, but turns out it was Atlas all along.

When he came back 9 days before his twentieth birthday, they all thought that he was the type of person who just wants things to be handed to him. Clearly, that's not the case.

One of them said:

"All those in favor of Atlas."

A-Xue looked at the room with rage as everyone lifted their hand. Atlas smiled and said:

"Since we're done with this, you can all leave."

Everyone left except Wei Shujun. Atlas stood up and bowed to him.

"Thank you, uncle."

Wei Shujun smiled.

"You don't have to thank me. I always believed in you."

It's true, Wei Shujun has known the original since he was six, and he would visit his father at work. He would often wander to his office, peering at him, working on a new product.

He knows he has a genuine love of technology, and he told his father he did the right choice by leaving him the company. Wei Shujun put a hand on his shoulder and left.

Atlas looked at Shengli and asked:

"Where were you?"

Shengli smiled.

"Getting your birthday present."

Atlas looked at him and asked excitedly:

"Where is it?"

Shengli opened his mouth to say something but then he stopped. Atlas tilted his head.

"What's wrong?"

Shengli pulled his chair closer to him and said:

"I want my team to release the truth about my deal with Jing today. But first, I wanted to know if you want people to know about us."

He wants them to be open, but he doesn't know if Atlas will want the same. Once everyone finds out that he is the creator of every product sold in the past three years, they'll all go crazy about him.

He already sees how men and women look at him, and it'll be just worse. Atlas glanced at him and smiled. He had no intention of hiding his relationship with him, but he didn't realize Shengli thought he did.

He can see that he's acting like either way it's no big deal, but Atlas isn't blind. He stood up and sat on his lap.

When their eyes met, he asked:

"What do you want?"

"I… I want everyone to know we're together, but I know that your situation and mine aren't the same. So if you don't..."

Before he finished speaking, Atlas wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed him. Shengli held on to him, deepening the kiss.

Atlas felt this familiar tingling sensation inside his head. It was like the one he felt when Aurora took control over him.

When Aurora was linked to his nervous system to force him to do what he has to do in case he refused, it hurt like hell. Before that moment, Atlas had never felt pain before.

Except that this time he doesn't feel pain, it's just pure bliss. He pulled back, looking at Shengli a little surprised.

After a moment he said:

"I want the same, but you need to wait until tomorrow to publish it."

Shengli was delighted and nodded multiple times. Atlas smiled at his cute face.

A-Xue went back home rushing, but couldn't find his mother. After calling her, he joined her in her private room in her favorite restaurant. He entered frantically and closed the door.

Jing didn't seem to notice his state and had a big smile on her face.

"Let's celebrate."

A-Xue yelled:

"There's nothing to celebrate, all the board members voted for Atlas!"

Jing who was drinking, spit out in shock.

"You said you had Wei Shujun on your side!"

A-Xue sat trembling in rage as he revealed:

"Turns out Atlas had been working for the company since he left, he's the one who created everything Liu Tech has been selling."

Jing looked at her cell phone, surprised. She's been obsessed with it, and she thought that Shengli came up with it, but it was Atlas.

"What am I going to do now?"

Jing thought for a few seconds.

"It's okay, Shengli will help. You don't need Liu Tech, you can create your own company and destroy Atlas."

A-Xue asked unsurely:

"Are you sure Shengli will help?"

Jing answered confidently:

"Of course, he always helps me."

Shengli immediately catching her when she fell, proves that he likes to feel like a man, by saving a damsel in distress. If she asks him, he'll help, plus this is an opportunity to start the relationship for real.

She knew after Shengli's reaction that he wouldn't divorce her. Him not mentioning it before, and today proves it too.

She's sure that he cares for her. When her husband passed away she never asked for his help, but he did. Why would a stranger help her unless he loves her Especially when that stranger is a tech mogul who could have anyone?

A-Xue looked into her confident eyes and relaxed a little. When Shengli confirmed that he only presented Atlas products to the board, he was worried that they had a deeper relationship, but it's ridiculous.

When her mother married Shengl, Atlas actively avoided him and would never have dinner with them.

He literally disrespected Shengli in his house. Why on earth would he suddenly care for him? Of course, his mother is the one who has a tight hold on him.

When Atlas and Shengli arrived home, he directly pulled him to his bedroom. Before opening the door, Shengli beamed:

"Your gift is behind that door."

Atlas smiled and let him pull him inside. When he entered Shengli's room, he looked at the decor a little surprised. It was a mix of his and Shengli's styles.

"I changed the bedroom, so you'll feel comfortable in our bedroom."

Atlas looked at him with narrowed eyes and questioned:

"Is this a gift for me or you?"

Shengli looked at him with puppy eyes and gently pushed him against the wall. He put his hand under his shirt and asked:

"Tell me what I have to do, to convince you."

Atlas licked his lips and pushed his head down. Shengli knelt and opened his pants. He let out his cock, wrapping his mouth around it. He sucked avidly, looking at Atlas' beautiful face.

He had his head tilted back, and his red lips were parted. He looked so sensual that Shengli instantly became hard.

While deep-throating him, he let out his cock stroking it. He stilled when he heard someone calling outside.

"Master, your wife would like to see you. She says it's urgent."

Atlas looked at him tight-lipped, Shengli could tell he was angry.

"Tell her to wait in the living room, I'll be down when I'm done."

"Yes, master."

When the woman left he looked at Atlas, who still looked angry. He swallowed him whole, his strokes more energetic. Atlas held on to his head, giving a determined thrust. His thrusts were fiercer as he was about to come.

Shengli felt his mouth filling with a liquid and swallowed. He stood up and closed Atlas's pants, his eyes never leaving his angry ones.

Atlas didn't say anything and let him, when he was done he left for downstairs. Shengli closed his pants and followed.

He was supposed to convince him to share a room with him, but now his baby is mad. Atlas stopped before turning to the living room and looked at Shengli.

Atlas sighed and pushed him to the corner, he circled his neck and kissed him. Yes, he's annoyed, but he knows that it's not Shengli's fault.

He's the one who told him to wait until tomorrow to release the news of his contract with Jing, but hearing that maid say your wife, really pissed him off.

Shengli held him and when Atlas pulled apart, he looked into his eyes trying to decipher his emotions.

Atlas confessed:

"I'm selfish and possessive. I only want you for myself, I'll never accept anyone else calling you husband, or any term of endearment."

He looked down and asked:

"I'm never gonna change, so can you handle that?"

Shengli finally understood why he was angry. He thought it was just the fact that Jing interrupted their moments, but it was the maid saying your wife.

He lifted his head and promised:

"You'll be my one and only wife from now on. I understand how you feel, I'm the same. I was trying to tone it down, so I wouldn't scare you. I want you to be yourself with me. You can feel freely."

Atlas looked at him, touched. He knows that Shengli is the same as him in numerous ways, but people sometimes thought that he was a little too intense. So, he still had this fear at the back of his head.

He doesn't want to pretend with him, he wants to be his most authentic self. For the past thousands of lives, he played roles, and now he's doing it too, but if he can be himself in front of his lover, it's more than enough.

He kissed him and when he broke the connection, Shengli looked at his beautiful smile. He caressed his cheek and said:

"Let's deal with her, so we won't have to see her ever again."

Atlas nodded and whispered in his ear before entering the living room.

"I'll let you do whatever you want to me tonight in our bedroom."

Shengli smile widely and followed him in.
