Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1421

Chapter 1421: Worth It

"Long night?"

At the question, Atticus glared at Whisker.

"Why are you staring at me like that, my star actor?" He raised his arms with an amused smile. "I’m not the one who wrecked someone’s heart."

"You were watching."

Whisker chuckled. "You’re my main source of entertainment. I’m always watching."

Atticus released a deep sigh, allowing the matter to pass. They both hovered high in the sky, just above the ongoing party on the hill.

After spending a while being comforted by Anastasia, Atticus had excused himself to confront this snoop in the sky. He had noticed Whisker’s presence since before he even met with Zoey.

"How did you even know I was going to talk to her?"

"Ah, please." Whisker waved his arms, "I can smell drama coming from a mile away. After your little stunt at the Willless World, I knew your love life would take a hit."

"What stunt?"

"You know... thinking with your dick and following some stranger to her world. I swear, even monks on a thousand year vow of chastity aren’t as desperate as you were."

Atticus scowled. "You’re exaggerating."

"Am I?" Whisker asked, "am I, my star actor?"

"...You are."

Atticus suddenly turned towards a certain direction, frowning.

"I know you’re there. You can come out now."

Silence. No answer came.

"Should I tell you the sort of people that result in doing this? Cowards—"

Suddenly, a burst of light flared, and from its depths, Ozeroth materialized.

"Ah, Bond. Such a cold night we have."

Atticus looked at Ozeroth with a deadpan stare.

"I knew you were also watching. Stop pretending."

"The great Ozeroth does not pretend," Ozeroth cleared his throat, glaring at Whisker, "unlike others."

"Says the one who was literally hiding seconds ago." Whisker chuckled.

"I was not hiding!"

"You were." Atticus said, "don’t forget, we’re bonded. I can read your mind."

As Whisker burst into laughter, Ozeroth turned away with an awkward cough.

"Well, the great Ozeroth had a good reason."

"Oh yeah?" Whisker wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. "What reason?"

"I was just trying to make sure Bond was alright!"

"Oh please," Whisker rolled his eyes, "the man’s a walking weapon of mass destruction. What trouble could possibly come from breaking a woman’s heart?"

"But I was right!" Ozeroth shot back. "Bond was crying!"

Both turned towards Atticus at that moment, who released a small cough in embarrassment.

"It was the rain."

"Of course," Whisker said, placing a hand over his mouth to stifle another laugh. "It was absolutely the rain."

But Ozeroth had always been more direct. "Don’t be embarrassed, Bond. It takes a real man to cry over something he loves."

"Like you cried over your failed harem?" Whisker fired back immediately.

"It’s not failed!" Ozeroth’s face darkened. "I’m currently in the recruitment stage."

"For months..." Whisker chuckled. "Then what do you call a harem with zero women?"

"It’s not zero! There’s that one woman wh—"

"You mean the one who runs every time you’re around?"
