Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1393

Chapter 1393: Thrill

"Kaino."

Atticus’ mind sharpened the moment the name reached him. He had heard it before.

’One of the council members.’

Anorah had mentioned the man before. Though she hadn’t spoken about him in detail, Atticus was perceptive enough to tell that she didn’t hold him in high regard.

Atticus leveled his eyes on the man.

The man, Kaino, was an aged and portly man. His ashen white hair was combed back neatly, framing his chubby face.

It was a sight Atticus found utterly baffling. At their level and stage, it was very odd to see any god whose appearance was anything but perfect.

’He’s angry.’

The man moved with the disposition of a god. One who thought he was above all and had no equals.

"Saint!" Kaino bellowed as he reached them. Atticus didn’t miss the lack of greeting or regard.

’He doesn’t respect her,’ he noted silently.

The Saint, Anorah, remained silent. But the coldness radiating off from her confirmed Atticus’ earlier assumption. Their relationship was far from being platonic.

As the Saint didn’t bother responding, Kaino’s face flushed red. He clenched his fists, eyes fuming.

"What is the meaning of this nonsense, Saint? We require your permission to bring anyone into the world now!?" he bellowed, sweeping his arms to the side.

"Need I remind you, Asterra does not belong to you alone! It’s the world of the resistan—"

A heavy weight slammed against Kaino before he could finish speaking, forcing his knees into the ground.

The aged man’s eyes opened wide, as though struggling to believe the current circumstances.

He was on his knees?

He raised his gaze, only to see the Saint staring down at him. As the realization came crashing down, his eyes blazed an intense golden light. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"How dare yo—"

Another force crashed down on him, slamming him against the paved floor. He tried to rise, but to no avail.

"Ahhhh!"

Kaino’s will flared, its light suddenly flooding the area. He was about to fight against the force when Anorah’s will burst to life in response. It converged around Kaino like a wave, suppressing his will in an instant.

Kaino slammed against the paved floor, cracks webbing outwards from the force. He trembled, tried to muster every bit of his will, but it was to no avail. He couldn’t move an inch.

His bloodshot eyes flickered up to the Saint. She was still staring down at him. Eyes impassive. She hadn’t moved even a single inch from her position.

Kaino felt his blood boil as the whispers suddenly reached him. It was at that moment it dawned on him, they were outside. In public.

He was laying flat against the ground, beneath Anorah’s feet, in front of members of the resistance.

The surge of anger and embarrassment hit him like a punch.

"High Synod Kaino," she suddenly spoke, cold.

"You stand before the Saint, leader of the resistance. You will speak with respect... or you will not speak at all."

’Damn.’

Atticus raised an eyebrow. Though he had no idea why, he felt a surge of pride.

’I would’ve probably killed him, but this works too I guess.’

An insolence like this occurring in his world would have resulted in an instant execution. It would serve as a deterrent to others, and more importantly, he would get rid of the fool who was obviously a ticking time bomb.
