Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Bloodline

In the confines of a meeting room, Lyanna, Avalon, and Sirius were currently engaged in a serious meeting.

"We've been exhaustively combing every lead, but we can't find any trace of Ronad," Lyanna reported, her words measured and direct. "He's gone into hiding."

Avalon's normally composed facade cracked. His hands clenched into fists, and with a fierce intensity, he struck the table, the resounding thud punctuating his frustration.

"That sneaky bastard!" he seethed.

Sirius quickly try to calm him down,

"Avalon, take a breath," he advised. "He can't hide forever. We'll get him eventually."

Lyanna also added her voice to Sirius's reassurance.

"He's right, Avalon. You should rest. You haven't gotten any breaks since the incident. Spend some time with your family." she urged. Avalon had been working tirelessly since Ariel's death. He has been spending less time with his family, missing breakfasts and dinners.

While Lyanna may derive a certain satisfaction from inflicting torment and witnessing the anguish of others, she remains capable of expressing empathy, particularly when it concerns individuals she holds dear. It hurts her to see Avalon like this.

Avalon's response was tinged with a stubborn determination, his resolve unwavering. "I'm fine," he retorted, his voice firm. "Just find him."

Pushing his chair back with a sharp scrape against the floor, Avalon rose to his feet. The tension in the room seemed to escalate with his departure, the weight of his emotions lingering in the air like an unspoken plea.

Without another word, he strode out of the room, leaving his colleagues behind.

In the wake of his exit, the room seemed to exhale, the silence returning in earnest. Lyanna exchanged a meaningful glance with Sirius, a silent acknowledgment of the challenges that lay ahead.
