Atlas threw a blade, causing the one in the great commander's hand to fall. He walked towards him and patted him down, to make sure he didn't have any more weapons left on him.

Looking at that scene, Yixin was furious. Atlas dared to touch another man like that. He let out a breath to calm himself down.

Atlas looked between his two robes in his chest and pulled out a letter. He asked, "What is that great commander?"

The great commander looked at Atlas wide-eyed. He never hid anything there. Besides, why would he hide it somewhere so obvious?

Atlas opened the paper and read it out loud, "Great commander, I thank you for your loyalty. Once both my brothers and my father die, I'll make sure you are compensated generously. I know that you are my only real ally. Even with those ministers at my side, I know that I can only trust you. And Chaoyang's seal is at the bottom. Care to explain, dear brother?"
