Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Guilty

A few hours later, the Ravenstein estate was bathed in the moon's soft glow. It was nighttime, and most of the personnel in the estate had gone to sleep.

Atticus's eyes jolted open from his slumber. Beads of sweat clung to his forehead, and his back was completely drenched with perspiration.

His breathing was labored, and he quickly sat up straight in bed. He touched his forehead with his right arm, muttering, "Not again."

After a few seconds, he managed to catch his breath. He stood up and swung his legs off the king-sized mattress he had been lying on.

Atticus headed straight to his bathroom and quickly washed his face with water.

'I can't sleep,' he thought. Atticus had been trying all night to rest, but he kept seeing the scene with Ember and Ronad replay in his mind.

The whole situation baffled him. Atticus believed his intelligence was far too high to fall for something like that every time. But whenever the scene resurfaced, his emotions would immediately flare up, and he had no control over it.

Atticus took a deep breath and exhaled. Then, he walked to the left side of his room, approaching an inconspicuous wall. With a scan the wall slid open to reveal his training clothes.

They were designed for ease of movement and provided a certain amount of protection.

After selecting his training attire, Atticus retrieved his Katana from its resting place, directly beside him on the bed, and he left his room.

He made his way through the hallway, going to do the only thing he knew could clear his head: train.

As Atticus was heading to the training room, a voice suddenly spoke from behind him. The voice was feminine, and upon hearing it, Atticus already knew who it was.

"Where are you going?"

Atticus turned to see Anastasia gazing at him with a neutral expression.

'Caught red-handed,' Atticus thought with a small sigh.

'How did she know I was stepping out?'

Although he was well aware that he was always being followed and watched by Arya, he trusted Arya completely.

Arya knew exactly when he awakened his bloodline but kept it a secret. She was even there when he trained, knew how powerful he was but chose not to reveal it.

Many might call him foolhardy for trusting her so much, but that was just how Atticus was. He placed the people he considered family above all else.

Besides, Arya followed him everywhere he went, so what choice did he have? Would he not train and stay weak just because he was being watched 24/7?

He was confident that it wasn't Arya who had told Anastasia he left his room. 'She must have been watching me,'
