Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1435

Chapter 1435: Search

With the challenge over, ending with the Ravensteins’ victory, the champions of Khelzar stormed out with furious steps. While it remained unsaid, from their intense glares it was clear this wasn’t over.

Aurora turned away from them with a sneer. Despite their obvious killing intent, there was nothing they could do.

’I should have put them in their place.’

If not for Sirirus’s warnings not to start any large scale fights, she would have attacked the moment he uttered those words. She frowned as she remembered them.

’We’re nothing without Atticus...’

Aurora gripped her glass so hard that it shattered.

"Damn, you okay?" Caldor asked with a raised eyebrow.

"...I’m fine."

Aurora was about to pick up another glass when she caught sight of the broken shards and spilled drinks on the floor. Kael had cleared the table for his challenge.

’Shit. Right when I need it the most.’

She closed her eyes, then released a deep breath that sent steam surging from her nostrils.

’He’s right...’ She clenched her fists.

Without Atticus, they would’ve never gotten this far. They would’ve never survived the onslaught of the Zorvans, nor would they have ascended the Middle Planes.

The beast was right, and Aurora knew this well. But...

’I don’t want to hear it from your stupid mouth...’

She was trying hard to escape his shadow; the last thing she needed right now was some stupid creature running his mouth.

’I’ll roast him if we meet during battle.’

She felt eyes on her and turned to see Zoey staring at her with an unreadable expression.

"What?"

"..." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Fucking hell. Would you stop staring at me?"

"Okay." Zoey turned away without a word.

Aurora scoffed. "Creep."

While the other teams whispered among themselves and threw glances at the Ravensteins, who completely ignored them, Caldor was in another world entirely.

’Damn...’

To him, the world had slowed. His eyes had through the hall and fixed on a girl standing with the Surnix Hold team. During the wrestling match, both of them had suddenly locked eyes.

’She’s beautiful...’

She was just barely below his height, looking to be in her early twenties. Her face was framed by dark hair tied into a ponytail, and she wore large round glasses that did nothing to dampen the intensity of her eyes.

’She’s also staring at me. I need to do something!’ Caldor gulped. ’I’ll wink. Yeah, winking is cool.’

With a deep breath, he tried to wink, only to end up blinking both eyes. The girl narrowed hers.

’Shit shit shit! What the hell did you just do, Caldor!’ He chided himself, taking a breath. ’Don’t ruin this... let’s just smile. Yes, smile.’

His lips began to curl up, but he soon panicked.

’No no no! That’s too much! Stop showing teeth!’

What was supposed to be a charming smile turned into a full blown grin with his teeth on full display.

’Ahhh, it’s all over!’

He was about to turn away when the girl suddenly giggled with her palm over her mouth. Caldor couldn’t help but blink. Had his grin actually been charming?

’Ahem. As expected.’

Caldor straightened, preparing to approach her.

’Let’s bring this home,’ he thought confidently, but froze as Ember suddenly gripped him.

"We’re leaving."
