Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Mean

Lila blinked her eyes rapidly as she focused them on Atticus walking towards the stage. Even she, too, had been surprised about the sudden name call.

Lila had been feeling completely lost these past few days. This was especially because of the incident with Atticus when he had confronted and warned her in front of the whole class.

Ever since she had witnessed Atticus's fight with her brother, she had always known that the boy was far from normal.

He was one year younger than Dell, and yet, he had still beaten the living daylights out of him easily.

She was there that day and knew how effortlessly he had the battle had been for him. He didn't break a sweat.

If not because it was included in the mana contract that the result of the fight shouldn't be announced to the public, Lila was sure the Ravensteins would have used the opportunity to increase their influence by flaunting their heir.

And it was exactly because of this that after the incident with Atticus when she was 7, during all the years she had anticipated meeting Atticus and enacting her revenge, she had never for even once thought of letting her guard down.

She knew that he was a genius, that he wasn't normal, and that he was strong.

What baffled her the most about all of this was that she had expected him to be popular or at the very least, given his talent, be well known among the upper classes as a strong talent.

But during these years, she hadn't gotten any noteworthy word about him.

Yes, she had sent some people to spy on Atticus. Unfortunately, just like the obsidian order, what the spies had been able to gather was completely insubstantial.

Nothing notable because none of them could enter the estate, and the one they were asked to watch hardly ever left it.

But regardless, to have her revenge, she didn't want to take any chances.

'To think I made such a stupid mistake,' Lila thought, admonishing herself as she watched Atticus climb the stage.

Lila had always considered herself to be smarter beyond her age. It wasn't the kind of intelligence the Enigmalnk and Atticus had; it was more like a smart and cunning kind of smart.

And this was why she had wanted to take her time planning her revenge on Atticus. The worst kind of enemy one could have was the one you had no idea existed in the first place.

The kind of enemy that would plan and scheme behind the scenes and when one least expected it, they would strike with force.

This was exactly the kind of enemy Lila had wanted to become for Atticus. She had already been anticipating it, in fact.

But because of one stupid slip-up, she had made Atticus aware of her animosity towards him, and even worse, his words had made her doubt everything.

It was a terrible feeling, to doubt oneself. His words made her really think about the incident.
