Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536 Eye For An Eye

'Shit, will I have to deal with this nonsense from now on?' Atticus thought, feeling annoyed about the current situation.

A few minutes had passed, and Atticus found himself sitting inside his room. In front of him were Dario and Yotad, each holding a tray of food.

Atticus had gone through the trouble of setting up a table big enough for the three of them with exactly three chairs.

They both stood stiffly, holding their trays, looking lost and wondering what they were supposed to do next. Yotad was completely confused; not even in his wildest dreams would he ever think of sitting down and eating with his master.

Dario's thoughts were different. He was more versed in politics, which largely depended on one's ability to read others and predict their thoughts.

However, this was the first time he was experiencing something like this. Even some of the young masters in the Ravenstein family, who weren't nearly as important as Atticus, wouldn't act the way he was acting. He felt he was at a crossroads: was this a test, or was Atticus genuinely okay with this?

Atticus sighed once more, waving his hand and indicating that they should take a seat. Seeing them hesitate, he spoke firmly, "Have your seats."

They both had no choice and ultimately sat down.

Atticus grabbed a spoon and started eating his food, but after a minute, another large sigh escaped his lips. Without bothering to ask why, he said, "Be free and eat your food as you normally would; it's an order."

Dario and Yotad turned and looked at each other, unsure of what to do. However, they couldn't disobey Atticus's words.

The occasional sounds of utensils clinking filled the room as they ate. After a few minutes, silence once again enveloped the room. Dario and Yotad faced downward, not knowing what to do next.

"The main reason I called you both here is because I have some questions," Atticus began.

Dario's eyes lit up. Finally! Atticus was going to ask him questions. However, his excitement was shattered in the next instant.

"I'll start with you, Yotad."

Yotad abruptly stood up and bowed. "Anything you wish, master!" he responded with deference.

Atticus's lips twitched in response, but he didn't let it stop his speech.

"Ravenblades. Tell me about them. You all are obviously not Ravensteins, so why are you given such an important role and serving the family?"

Yotad paused for a moment, seemingly trying to understand Atticus's question. He turned towards Dario for help, but saw him with a brooding expression on his face. Dario had been planning on answering Atticus's question before Yotad could, but unfortunately, no one in the family except a select few knew about the origin of the Ravenblades.

After a few seconds, Yotad answered, "I'm sorry, young master, but what I know is limited."
