Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 516

Chapter 516 Hated?

The room was utterly silent. As soon as Magnus had given the second reason, he hadn't said anything else, finally giving Atticus the time he needed to grapple with the enormity of the situation. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

Atticus's feelings were hard to put into words. Did he feel betrayed? Yes. Did he feel like that particular incident needed some kind of retribution? Yes.

But now that he had found out the whole reason for the incident, Atticus was at a major crossroads.

It was going against his whole nature; from the beginning, he had always repaid back anything that was done to him manifold.

But Magnus was his grandfather; was he supposed to take revenge on him? There was no way Atticus could do that.

Magnus met Atticus's intense stare, his expression still as unreadable as it had been since Atticus had seen him.

"Why didn't I just tell you beforehand?"

Atticus nodded to Magnus's question. That had been exactly what was on his mind. He just couldn't understand.

If Magnus or any staff of the academy had simply told him beforehand, they would've avoided this whole situation from happening.

"Atticus," Magnus suddenly sighed before exploding into tendrils of lightning, wrapping around Atticus and then disappearing, only to reappear outside the structure in a burst of light.

Atticus's gaze snapped open only to find himself high in the sky just below the clouds. The entirety of the academic campus sprawled beneath him, majestic in its entirety.

The beautiful scene brought about a calming effect, as Atticus's raging blood started simmering as the seconds passed.

Atticus took in a deep breath before exhaling, continuing this action for a while.

Magnus gave him the moment, not uttering a word.

After feeling as though he were calm enough, Atticus turned towards Magnus, his gaze silently demanding answers.

Magnus continued, "As I said earlier, we're our own worst enemies. The greatest genius to ever appear in the human domain, this sounds so good on many levels but unfortunately, not everyone has that same perception.

"We humans are greedy by nature," Magnus turned his gaze down towards the academy grounds, looking at the staff strolling about and carrying out their business.

"For generations now, we the tier ones have maintained a somewhat stable power base with each family keeping each other in check. But with your emergence, that power base is about to be broken, significantly at that.

"In essence, the other families see you as a threat that would break the power scale of the human domain, which is why they came up with this… trick.
