Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground

Chapter 122 Disrespect

Before the butler could even finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud impact that shook the whole mansion to its core.

Darius's sharp eyes immediately narrowed, and without wasting a single moment, he pushed himself up from his ornate chair.

Paying no heed to the still-bowing butler who had quickly retreated to give way to his master, He left the office and headed to the entrance of the mansion.

Upon reaching the entrance, Darius noticed that his wife and several other members of the family had already emerged from the mansion to investigate the commotion, all apart from his wife, adorned with their distinctive silver hair that marked their lineage.

However, Darius didn't spare them a glance, his attention solely focused upwards, where he saw massive, imposing airships, each of them dwarfing the mansion and making the day seem like night.

As he took in the sheer scale of these ships, Darius's gaze was suddenly drawn earthward, where he discovered a solitary figure standing within a freshly formed crater.

The man possessed a burly, imposing physique, and his authoritative presence was undeniable. His impeccably styled snow white hair created a stark visual contrast against his spotless attire, which was in pristine condition despite the evident destruction he had wrought.

"Sirius!" Darius exclaimed.

Before Darius could understand what was happening, immediately, from the gigantic airship, numerous individuals, approximately thirty in number, began descending gracefully toward the ground.

Their descent was marked by an eerie silence and a level of precision that sent shivers down the spines of those who watched.

Each of these individuals exuded an aura of master rank and they were uniformly clad in sleek black robes and cloaks, each of them bearing swords at their waists.

Their entire demeanor screamed of controlled calculation. Their collective presence was awe-inspiring as they maintained perfect synchronization in every aspect. Every one of them breathed in rhythm, their hearts beating in sync.

These were the elites of the Raven Vanguard, a special unit that served directly under Sirius, the Shadowguard.

Only the best of the best in the Vanguard were recruited into this group. They were thoroughly trained down to the last detail, from their habits, the way they moved, the way they breathed, and even to the way they spoke.

Each of them stood there quietly, their gazes forward, staring at nothing in particular.

Seeing all this, Darius's facial expression underwent a rapid transformation, shifting from initial shock to understanding and ultimately to smoldering anger.

Such disrespect!

Abruptly, from behind, Darius's voice thundered, shaking the very ground on which he stood "What is the meaning of this, Sirius! Do you take the Vermore family as a joke!"

His aura surged like a tempest, and the grandeur of his grandmaster rank aura extended throughout the area, establishing a palpable presence that sent shockwaves through the surroundings.

The Vermore family was the tier two family in charge of the southeast part of sector 3. And this man, Darius, was the family head of the Vermore family.

Despite the fact that the tier 2 families in sector 3 reported directly to the Ravenstein family, the relationship between them wasn't a completely akin to a ruler and subjects.

Yes, the Ravensteins were strong and could potentially wipe out their family within hours, but could they do that? No. Why? Because of the rules.

There was a reason the Sentinel Guardians were established as the police force of the human domain.

Apart from catching terrorists and criminals, the main reason they were established was to prevent the tier one family from ruling the sector like tyrants.

They were established after a brutal event where the tier one family in sector 8 had wiped out all the tier 3 families in the sector. It was a day filled with bloodshed that many would never forget.

The tier one families were powerful, far more powerful than the other tiered families. To avoid another massacre like that day, the Sentinel Guardians were established.

The Sentinel Guardians had bases in each sector because of one thing: to keep the tier one families in check. If any tier one family tried to cross the line, the Sentinel Guardians were authorized to act and stop them.

Darius and the other tier two families were well aware of this, and this was why the tier two families weren't completely subservient to the Ravensteins, and such was the same in other sectors.

Regardless of what happened, the Ravensteins couldn't go as far as wiping them out, or else the Sentinel Guardians would intervene.

And no one family could face the Sentinel Guardians alone, as they reported directly to the Paragon Council.

What Darius hated the most in this world was being disrespected. They had barged into his estate guns blazing as if the Vermore family meant nothing at all!

The Vermore family was the strongest and more powerful than the other tier two families in the sector! It was an insult, one he would never take lying down.

All of the estate guards had already gathered around the mansion, numbering at least 60 expert ranks and a few master ranks.

They had already drawn their weapons, pointing them at the intruders. Despite knowing well that it was the Ravensteins, they were all proud warriors of the Vermore family!

Simply cowering and bowing when the Ravensteins were clearly attacking the estate just because they were a tier one family was cowardly! Regardless of how powerful the Ravenstein family was, they had taken this too far!

Each of them pointed their weapons at Sirius and the shadowguard, releasing their auras too, making the air more oppressive. They were ready to act if Darius gave the command!
