Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 Leader's Summit

270 Leader's Summit

Ember was crazy.

She could train the whole day without even eating a meal. If not because she was basically forced to come and eat in the dining room, she would, without a doubt, train for the entire duration of the day.

And now looking at Ember, her hard work truly paid off.

"You've grown. A lot," Atticus said with a warm smile.

"You too," Ember also commented while observing Atticus.

Apart from the fact that Atticus was now currently taller than her, Ember was now at the expert- rank. Which was the usual rank most in the human domain awakened their perception.

And gazing at Atticus, although what she could currently feel was he was in Advanced+ rank, Ember knew better than to believe that bullshit.

Atticus's smile widened as he noticed Ember's probe.

"We have a lot of catching up to do," Atticus said and grabbed Ember's hand.

Just as he was about to start leaving,

"Ahem!" a sound suddenly grabbed their attention.

Atticus, Kael, and Ember turned their gazes towards the duo who had been standing silently all this while.

Atticus observed both of them silently.

One of them was a boy whose distinct features unmistakably belonged to the Enigmalnk family.

He bore the family's signature blue hair and a surprisingly subtle, demotivated expression— the trademark look worn by most Enigmalnk family members.

But unlike the other members of his family, he looked more.. full of life?

The Enigmalnk family was a lineage of rune smiths. To cultivate their will, they routinely depleted their reserves, engaging in battles to persist through various challenges.

This practice, repeated over time, allowed them to fortify their will. Therefore, it was quite unusual to observe one of them brimming with vigor.

Dressed impeccably in a scarlet coat complemented by black innerwear and pants, the young man displayed a subtle hint of facial hair, a burgeoning beard on the cusp of emerging.

Just behind the boy was the figure of an unattractive lady.

Standing at a diminutive 5ft1, she was remarkably short. Her lavender colored hair and dark eyes framed a countenance that, despite societal norms, carried a distinctive allure.

'She looks exactly like that boy,' Atticus immediately recalled Emeric's features back when he had fought him during the division war. She had all the features of the Psyquillian family members.

"Wasn't that a bit rude? You completely ignored us as though we weren't here," the boy said with a small smile playing on his lips.

But instead of the response he was expecting, all he got was three gazes focused on him. Two expressionless gazes of Ember and Kael and then one neutral gaze of Atticus.

Atticus chose not to respond to anything. Immediately he saw that unattractive girl beside him, his guard had already been raised two fold.

Atticus had no idea how their power worked or what conditions they had to fulfill. Although he could make a guess utilizing everything Emeric had done when they faced each other, Atticus couldn't rely on that information 100%.

What if they didn't have to be the one who questioned the target? What if there were different conditions for each member of their family? Too many uncertainties.

And even though his will was substantially high, Atticus had already promised not to ever let his guard down again.

What cemented this fact was what Atticus had observed when he hugged Ember.

He remained acutely aware of everything happening in his immediate surroundings at all times.
