Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 560

Chapter 560 Relentless

A loud and intense laugh rocked the entire room as Thorne burst into laughter, his mirth resounding across the space.

Eleanor couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He had just spoken about war, and the next thing his father did was laugh?

The laughter went on for a few seconds before finally stopping.

"Looks like I was wrong. I did raise a fool," Alverian said, his sharp gaze fixing on Eleanor. "You're talking about war, and you didn't even follow the first rule: know your enemy!

"Threaten them with war? Do you even realize who those white-haired bastards are? Do you think their nickname, 'madmen of the human domain,' is for show?

"Those bastards live for battle! Even if they have to fight the entire human domain, they wouldn't hesitate when threatened! How foolish are you!?

"Did you even think about the implications of what you just said? Band together and pressure them, ha! Disappointing. So disappointing."

Eleanor was confused, not understanding what his father was talking about.

"Do you really think the other families give two shits about our Alverian family? We're the closest to them. If war breaks out, who do you think will bear the full brunt? Is your brain empty?"

Eleanor's gaze narrowed, finally understanding what his father was implying. Sector 4 encompassed Sector 3, which meant that should any war happen, it would most definitely take place in either Sector 4 or 3. Considering that one was a warrior family through and through and the other an alchemist family, it was quite obvious where it would take place.

Regardless, he had still somewhat thought this through. "Bu—"

Just as he was about to speak, a deep sigh interrupted him.

"I shouldn't blame you much. It's because you don't know who you're dealing with. The Ravensteins are feared for many things, but what makes even us other tier ones cautious is their nature: when angered and pushed to the limit, they don't care about anything anymore. They are relentless and cruel; they only care about one thing: eradicating their enemies.

"When they are pushed to the limit, they become madmen. This same trait is why, despite being a warrior family, their sector is in the inner parts of the human domain. Just like in any battle, you save the best for last."

Eleanor went totally silent, trying to comprehend his father's words. Was he supposed to just let it slide?

"Eleanor," Alverian called out to him.

Eleanor turned to face his father.

"The reason I allowed you to do all those stupid things is so that you could vent your anger. They wouldn't be enough to push the Ravensteins to the edge, but threatening them with war would. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

"I know why you're here. You want me to show my support for this stupidity so that you can bring the Alverian family together. The answer is no."

Eleanor's gaze widened. "Father!"
