Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 507

Chapter 507 Penalty

?Hearing Mortrex's words, Atticus's expression didn't change. He stared at Mortrex directly in the eyes without uttering a word to him.

This action seemed to confuse Mortrex a little bit, causing him to furrow his eyebrows.

"What—"

"I never forget my grievances," Atticus suddenly spoke, interrupting Mortrex.

Mortrex allowed Atticus to continue, not saying anything.

"The boy you protected from me a few minutes ago, along with the other Grandmaster that appeared, both tried to kill me, with the former being foolish enough to threaten my companions. I meant every single word I said to him: I will end his family."

Atticus didn't know for certain, but considering the fact that they were all clad in the same attire, had the same patterns on their skin and even had the same insignia engraved on their chests, he was sure that they were all of the same family.

Which meant that they were responsible for the hunt for him. Many would call Atticus cruel, Spineus had come to take revenge because he had killed Zekaron, but Atticus didn't care.

Zekaron was dead because he had tried to kill him in the first place, why should Atticus have to care that Spineus was after him because of that?

Mortrex's hands involuntarily clenched hard. 'Shit,' he thought. He was currently in a situation he had absolutely no idea how to circumvent.

If it were up to him, Mortrex would gladly give up on Vertebrea, but Spineus and the Ossara family were another thing entirely.

Aside from the obvious fact that Spineus was a once in a generation genius and that the Ossara family were very important members of the bone race, Spineus was Viviana's younger brother, and the Ossara family was her family!

She might have cut off all communications with them until recently, but Mortrex knew her well. Deep down, she loved them, especially her younger brother Spineus.

There was no way he would be able to face her should he agree to something like this. He had to search for another way.

'But those eyes…' Mortrex sighed. The look in Atticus's gaze couldn't lie. Mortrex knew it instinctively; there would be no other way.

'They awakened a slumbering beast. What's the best possible move from here?' Mortrex truly didn't know what to do.

On one hand, he could allow Atticus to do what he wanted, but then he wouldn't be able to face Viviana ever again. On the other hand, going against Atticus would be a very stupid thing to do.

Even if he wanted to, Mortrex couldn't kill Atticus here since he had the artifact on. If he showed any hostility towards Atticus, he would simply be signing a future death warrant for the bone race.

'There's nothing I can do currently, and provoking him isn't an option. I'll handle this later,' Mortrex sighed. He was Mortrex the indomitable, the great Ossarch of the bone race, and yet he felt incredibly drained just dealing with this 16 year old.

The fact that Atticus still kept his intense gaze without even the slightest ripple despite just learning about the power of a Grandmaster and the frightening power Mortrex held inside this space was enough to make Mortrex's heart tremble. He truly couldn't believe that this was a 16-year-old. The world truly wouldn't be fair if it were true.
