Atlas smiled back and replied, "I'm sure you did."

The best part was that after the physical results, everyone would see how superior he was to Atlas.

He asked, "What do you plan to do for your gland?"

"You don't have to. My doctor has a new way to not have to cut it and not use inhibitors," Caleb replied.

Atlas's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Caleb nodded excitedly. "Yes, the procedure is quick, and it won't affect your reproductive system."
