Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486 Personal

Atticus and Aurora streaked through the air, their figures covered in searing flames that seemed to increase in intensity as they moved.

They resembled shooting stars streaking through the sky, heading directly towards the city gates.

An intense gust of wind suddenly spread out across the area, dispersing the steamy air that had engulfed it.

Spineus's intense gaze snapped towards the north, narrowing as it settled on Atticus's retreating figure.

His next orders were instant: "Do not let him escape."

Spineus wasn't loud; in fact, even though Atticus was currently moving towards the city gates about to escape, Spineus's demeanor remained calm.

It was as though he didn't care, which was baffling considering the whole reason they were there was because of Atticus.

His words were low, but to the warriors of the Ossara family gathered in the area, it might as well have been spoken with a loudspeaker.

They moved in unison, as though they had practiced this set of movements since birth.

The sounds of the hover car doors closing echoed in the next second, followed by the rumbling of the engines. Each hover car whizzed through the air at mind-numbing speed towards the direction Atticus had fled.

Spineus took his gaze away from the retreating Atticus, landing it on the building Atticus had burst out of. A few members of the Ossara family remained behind with him, standing behind him and awaiting orders.

Spineus didn't utter a word, nor did his expression change, but the slight concern on his face was evident.

He walked quickly and entered the building, his eyes scanning the destruction caused by Atticus.

His hands subtly clenched by his side as he approached the basement, reaching the bottom in just a second.

Spineus couldn't help but release a huge and audible sigh of relief as he saw Lucienta and Luther struggling to stand up, with Lucienta still lodged in the wall deep in pain.

Spineus let go of his clenched hands and swiftly moved to support them. After a moment, the duo knelt down on the floor with their heads bowed inches away from the ground.

"I-I have failed you, Lord Spineus," Lucienta lamented, her voice trembling with shame. She hit her broken head on the floor, painting the ground crimson with her blood.

"I deserve death for this failure, Lord Spineus," Luther added, repeating the same action and hitting his head on the floor. Words could not begin to describe how ashamed they both felt.

Spineus could see this very well, and this fact made his heart ache. Both Lucienta and Luther were directly under his control, his subordinates, but ever since his father Vetebr? had started training him during his childhood, they had been inseparable.

His training had been brutal, so brutal that Spineus had ended up bloodied more times than he could count.

Spineus had been a child; it wasn't something he should have been able to withstand, but he endured.

He endured all the brutality, all the torturous training, all the hellish pains that would leave his body battered and broken.
