Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Thunder Clap

After an hour, Anastasia finished the meeting.

The meeting was a routine weekly gathering attended by the heads of every significant branch in the family.

Anastasia received briefings on everything happening, whether it was related to the business world and the potential moves of the Ravencrest Consortium, or information gathered by the Silent Nexus in the human domain.

The advent of technology had made everything easier for everyone, with no need for the members to attend the meeting in person.

She left the meeting room with Arya and made her way through the estate to a large building located near the center of the estate. This building was second in size and standing only to the main mansion.

As she approached the building, a quick scan allowed the doors to swiftly slide open, and Anastasia and Arya entered.

She walked through the building with familiarity, and after a minute, she entered a room.

The room was vast, and Anastasia found herself on a raised platform, overseeing a sea of screens and operatives diligently at work.

Below her, rows of long tables filled with people in front of individual screens were arranged in a circular formation.

Each person was immersed in their tasks, not even checking who had entered.

In the center of the room, a massive wall-sized display showcased a comprehensive view of various parts of the sector. It was a mesmerizing tableau of real-time information, with maps, data, and live video feeds constantly shifting.

This room was the central control room of the whole sector, where the Ravenstein family utilized their satellites to monitor the entire sector.

Every single place in the sector could be monitored from this room. Some places in other sectors could also be monitored, although that would alert the ruling party involved.

Looking through the people in the room, Anastasia immediately found her target. He was resting his back against the wall of the room, gazing at nothing in particular, completely immersed in his thoughts.

She started walking toward him, but even after getting close, he still didn't register her presence.

Anastasia frowned, one thing women hate the most was their man not giving them attention.

"Ahem," she audibly cleared her throat. The sound seemed to bring Avalon out of his daydreaming.

He turned to see Anastasia staring at him.

"Oh, honey, when did you get here?" Avalon awkwardly asked, seeing Anastasia.

"Just now," she replied. Looking at Avalon's appearance, her expression turned sad.

Avalon looked lost for words. He had huge eye bags under his eyes, unkempt beards forming on his face, and even the clothes he was wearing were what he wore yesterday.

Even after all these years had passed, Avalon had not stopped looking for Ariel's killer.

Seeing Anastasia's sad expression, Avalon awkwardly scratched the back of his head, an action he was beginning to do often. "Don't worry, Anna, I'll be fi-," as Avalon was about to reassure Anastasia, she suddenly walked up to him, grabbed his hand, and started dragging him out of the room.

Avalon had initially wanted to protest, but he immediately stopped when he saw Anastasia's expression. She wasn't taking no for an answer.
