Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Boundary

Hearing Atticus's cold words, many of the students couldn't help but suck in a cold breath, their bodies subtly trembling.

Despite the fact that Atticus's focus had been on Hen when he spoke, it was an instinctual feeling; they all knew that he was also referring to them.

Meanwhile, the focus of Atticus's threat, Hen, found it hard to stop himself from peeing as Atticus's aura pressed down on him.

But despite the intense fear he felt, Hen still clenched his fist hard, making futile attempts to stop his body from shaking.

He stared at Atticus defiantly, "I-I will never bow down!" he said with chattering teeth.

Atticus maintained his cold stare at Hen, but just when he was about to respond, "Young master!" Zara suddenly interrupted the scene, running towards the duo and standing between Atticus and Hen.

She immediately sunk on both knees, hands over her head, kowtowing towards Atticus, her head touching the ground, "Please forgive him! It has been a long day, and he doesn't know what he's saying," she pleaded.

"Zara, what ar—" before Hen could finish his words, Zara lifted her head, immediately shooting Hen a cold look.

He didn't have to be a genius to know what she wanted him to do, shut up.

Hen gritted his teeth, but despite the intense anger he was feeling, he knew very well that Zara was right.

He took a deep breath that lasted for a second, and then he suddenly bowed his head slightly at Atticus.

Seeing Hen complying, Zara bowed her head back down.

Before she came to the academy, she had heard a lot of things about kids from the big families. Amongst those things, what was constant was that they all enjoyed the feeling of being above others, being worshipped.

This was exactly why she had been bowing earlier and was kowtowing currently. She hoped Atticus would also be like that, and having his ego scratched, he would simply forget everything.

Atticus gazed at both of them in front of him without any change in expression.

'Did it not work?' Zara thought worriedly.

After a few seconds that made Zara's worry intensify, Atticus finally spoke, the tone of his voice maintaining the same chilling tone from earlier,

"I meant every single word I said,"

Atticus declared, and before anyone could react, Atticus turned and started walking away from the scene, the crowd of youths swiftly parting the way for him.

Lucas, after a brief look at Zara, also turned and started following Atticus behind.

...

Lucas walked quietly behind Atticus. His mind was churning about the incident that just happened. But after a few seconds, Lucas couldn't control his curiosity any more and asked, "Why did you let him go?" He inquired.

If he had to be honest, this was the first time Lucas had seen Atticus let someone go just like that.
