Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 569

Chapter 569 Dekai

The old man appeared powerless and at the same time, he felt profound. Only a fool would completely dismiss him as simply an insignificant old man.

Atticus didn't even have to think about it; he knew immediately who he had to approach among the people kneeling.

He stood silently and waited.

But he didn't have to wait long. The Aegis airship suddenly took off from the platform and ascended upwards.

A few seconds passed, and the old man stood up shakily from his kneeling position, his piercing eyes immediately landing on Atticus. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

"Atticus, I presume?"

His voice was sagely as though it was filled with wisdom. Atticus couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The old man had a very long white beard that reached his waist. He had a surprising amount of wrinkles around his face and body, and he appeared insanely old.

His back was hunched forward, and he had a long and thin pitch-black walking stick he was currently using for support with both hands.

Upon seeing this man, only one thought would come to anyone's mind: he was not far from his deathbed.

However, appearances could be deceiving.

Atticus took his gaze away from the man's body, and their eyes met.

It felt searing.

To Atticus, it was as though he had suddenly been engulfed with searing hot lava. It didn't affect the surroundings but him directly.

Atticus felt his temperature rising at an alarming rate, his clothes becoming drenched in an instant.

Drops of perspiration streamed down from his face as his thoughts raced.

'What the hell?'

Atticus was at a loss for words. He didn't have to be a genius to figure out that this man was the cause of what was happening. But what was most baffling about this was the fact that the man wasn't controlling the temperature around him; he was controlling his temperature!

Atticus couldn't help but feel pissed. The audacity of this man was palpable. It was as though he was telling him that he could control his fire anytime he wanted as though he were insignificant.

'…No, it's not that. It's a test,' Atticus suddenly realized. It was the only thing that made sense at this point.
