Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground

Chapter 149 Outing 2

Seeing Aurora's big and thick sunglasses on her face, Atticus's expression immediately turned smug.

As if sensing what was coming, Aurora locked eyes with Atticus. "Shut up," she retorted.

Seeing her reaction made it harder for Atticus to hold in his laughter. He clamped his hand over his mouth, attempting to muffle the sound.

"Shut up!" Aurora repeated, her face now flushing beet red in embarrassment. Even she knew how stupid she looked with the sunglasses.

Anastasia had been excited when Aurora joined the family. Atticus had been grumpy since childhood. He was always throwing a fit anytime Anastasia wanted to dress him.

If not for Anastasia's insistence, she wouldn't have been able to dress him during the day of the event.

But unlike Atticus, who wouldn't allow her to dress him, Aurora was different. She couldn't refuse. Anastasia was always the one selecting Aurora's outfits, and today she had already promised Anastasia that she would wear this.

And what was annoying her even more was that he knew all of this and he was still making fun of her!

"Pffft," The laughter Atticus was trying to hold finally burst out as he saw Aurora's crimson cheeks. She looked like an adorable, red, fuming koala, especially with the oversized sunglasses perched on her nose.

Her bloodline activated as she started emitting hot steam from her body.

Even Ember's features showed a slight smile as she watched the show.

Just as she was about to pounce on him, Caldor's incessant call interrupted the situation. Atticus turned and started heading outside, still laughing at Aurora.

She trailed behind, her red eyes shooting daggers at his back. It was obvious she wanted nothing more than to burn Atticus to a crisp.

After moving for a few seconds, the trio walked out of the mansion doors and saw Caldor, who was already outside, and what Atticus would consider an army of guards.

They were about 30 in number, donned in black suits and sunglasses, and they all emitted Master-rank aura. They stood lining up on both sides of the entrance of the mansion.

'She did it again,' Atticus thought with a small sigh.

He and Caldor had gone through a lot to convince Anastasia to allow them to leave the estate.

Atticus and Ember had basically just almost lost their lives during the attack on the camp. If it were up to her, none of them would even leave her sights again.

But after incessant begging and giving the excuse that they wanted to spend some time together with Caldor before he left for the academy, Anastasia had reluctantly agreed, but of course, with conditions.

As the trio stepped out, each of the guards bowed their heads in quiet respect as they simply stood without saying anything. Their job was simple: to follow orders, guard and watch them without interfering in anything that wasn't a danger to their lives.

The trio walked down the stairs towards Caldor, who was already standing by a limousine-like hover car. "Hurry, let's go!" He said, getting into the hover car with the trio also entering after him.

Then the 30 Master-rank guards all got into different hover cars numbering about 6, and without further ado, they all zoomed out of the estate.

After driving for a few minutes, they descended from the hill where the Ravenstein estate was perched, revealing the breathtaking view of Ravenspire City.

As the capital city of Sector 3, it was teeming with life, and various hover cars darted in all directions, embodying the bustling heart of the sector.

Atticus turned to see Caldor and Aurora gazing through the window expectantly. Aurora's face was filled with awe as she gazed at the breathtaking view.

She had never been to the Ravenstein estate during her childhood, and this was the first time she was seeing the city from this vantage point. 'It's beautiful, very beautiful,' she thought.

After a few moments, they got to the town, with everyone clearing the way when they saw the imposing procession of cars with the Ravenstein sigil on it.

The sigil, resembling eight swirling elements, adorned both the front and back of the car,

Inside the hover car, Atticus turned to Caldor, "So where are we going to?" He asked. They had all left the planning to Caldor completely. None of them had any idea where Caldor was even taking them.

"Hehe, you'll see," Caldor responded with a smug look, not saying anything more.

Atticus didn't say anything again after that. With Aurora still gazing outside the window, her face filled with awe, and Ember maintaining her quiet demeanor, they all drove in silence.

…

In front of an imposing structure that could only be described as a marvel of architectural opulence, a sports-like hover car smoothly glided to a halt at the entrance.

One look at the car, and one would see it was luxurious, something only the rich could afford to use.

Stepping out of the car, a man accompanied by two strikingly beautiful blonde twins emerged onto the scene.

The man, distinguished by his silver hair and impeccable attire, bore all the hallmarks of the Vermore family.

He appeared to be in his late-30s and emitted the unmistakable aura of an expert rank.

He walked confidently towards the entrance of the building, with both girls clinging tightly to each of his arms.

But as he got to the entrance, two guards suddenly blocked his way. A cold glint entered the man's eyes as he inquired, "What are you doing?"

The guards, though, didn't even flinch. They were the guards of one of the most prestigious places in Ravenspire, and from the man's silver hair, they could tell what family he belonged to.

Even if he was from a tier-two family, they had no power here in Ravenspire. They both simply stood there blocking the way, not saying anything or responding.

Just as his anger was about to boil over, a man wearing a blue suit stepped out of the building. The two guards bowed and stepped back a little as he came out.

Seeing this man, Jake turned to him and demanded, "What is the meaning of this, Beck?"
