Novel Full Chapter 383 Flawed
Chapter 383 Flawed
As soon as Atticus reluctantly left, the trio couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
This was one of the reasons none of them even liked speaking when he was around. He was way too scary!
The last thing any of them would want was saying the wrong thing and earning his ire.
Many would think it foolish to do this. As it was pretty much the perfect opportunity to get closer to Atticus, but with all the times they had spent with the beast, they were well aware that if it wasn’t genuine or if it didn’t happen naturally, it was basically a fool’s dream.
Letting out a sigh of relief, the trio turned to each other before nodding in unison. Then they turned and entered the room.
Atticus walked down the stairs of the mansion. His gaze was completely neutral, but only he knew the staggering amount of thoughts that were running through his head.
After a few seconds, Atticus got to the living room of the mansion where he saw each of the Ravenstein youths engaged in a heated argument.
Unsurprisingly, Nate was at the center of said argument while Lucas simply rested his back on the wall with his eyes closed.
The rest of the Ravenstein youth were all standing, each of their expressions filled with intense anger.
Atticus didn’t even need to listen to know what they were talking about.
As each of them heard someone enter, they turned their gazes, and when they saw it was Atticus, they each bowed down to pay their respects once more.
But before the greeting even had time to settle, Nate thundered,
“Atticus, just say the word, and we’ll turn this academy upside down!” Nate’s expression was completely laced with fury.
It was the first time many of them would see Nate this angry.
The boy was always playful and all about fighting and growing stronger; many didn’t think they would see this side of Nate.
But none of the Ravenstein youths were even focused on this development as each of them mirrored Nate’s expression. They were all angry.
None of them were close with Aurora; they hardly even talked with her. So many would wonder, just why were they all this angry?
The answer was simple.
They had attacked a Ravenstein.
The Ravenstein family was far from being unified. Just like in any organization filled with humans, there were still many struggles and strifes here and there. This was the same everywhere.
It was human nature.
And this was the same in the human domain. One would think that seeing the threat to their planet, they would each come together and face the threat.
While this was exactly what they had done, it wasn’t without its challenges.
One cannot even begin to count the number of times the tier one families wanted to go to war with each other over the course of history.
Humans had always been flawed beings, and the Ravenstein family did not escape this fate.
But as with everything in life, there was always an exception to this fate, and it was simple, really; when a Ravenstein was attacked by outside forces, regardless of the enmity, regardless of the fact that said person was not close with anyone, the attacker would have gained the ire of every single one of the Ravenstein family members.
And now wasn’t an exception.
The rest of the Ravenstein youths all locked gazes with Atticus as if pleading to give the word.
Even the usually low key chubby was also directly looking at him.
The calm and humble Elijah had his arms crossed on his chest. His face was calm, but with how hard he was gripping his bicep, it was obvious he was trying hard to stop his anger from erupting.
Each of them were intensely angry, and it wouldn’t be an understatement for them to say that they all expected to see the same anger on Atticus’s face.
But they all couldn’t help but be shocked to see that the one they all expected to be even more furious than them currently had a neutral expression on his face.
The whole living room descended into palpable silence as Atticus stared at the Ravenstein youths without uttering a word.
This silence remained for a few seconds before Atticus suddenly turned and started walking towards the exit of the mansion.
“What—” just as Nate was about to go after him, a firm hand suddenly gripped Nate’s shoulder, stopping him from moving.
Nate’s head shot to his side to see that it was Lucas who had placed a hand on his shoulder.
“Why are you stopping me, Lucas? Don’t tell me you think we should let this matter go!” Nate instantly thundered, trying to free himself. But Lucas’s hand remained firm. 𝑖𝘦.𝑐ℴ𝘮
Despite the furious reaction from Nate, Lucas still maintained a calm look. He shook his head slightly, using his head to gesture towards Atticus.
“Calm down. Just because he’s not showing it on his face doesn’t mean he’s not angry. Don’t forget who Aurora is to him.”
“But…” just as Nate was about to speak, Lucas interrupted as he continued speaking, “Let’s just wait for him to calm down. If there’s one thing I know about Atticus, it’s that at the end of the day, the people responsible for this would wish they were dead.”
Those words seemed to calm Nate down a bit as he let out an exhale, turned, and sat down on a nearby seat, his angry expression unchanged.
Lucas also turned to the rest of the Ravenstein youth and addressed them, “You all should also calm down. We can’t go to the academy campus today anyway. The guys who did this will definitely pay.”
Some of the Ravenstein youths nodded their heads in agreement. They couldn’t go to the academy campus today anyway.
Many of them took their seats, with some still choosing to stand.
They would wait for Atticus to come back and tell them their next move.
