Chapter 568: Cues

Atticus's thoughts firmed as he suddenly gave Yotad an order,

"Enter my shadow, we're heading out."

Yotad reacted in a surprising way. His expression, which had only ever shown indifference and coldness, changed, a look of surprise with a hint of happiness appearing on his face.

This had been what he had been waiting for! Yotad wasted absolutely no time, his figure dissolving into a black mass that instantly merged with Atticus's shadow.

The others were startled by the sudden action but didn't do anything.

Atticus turned to Dario, "I'm only allowed to take Yotad, so I'll see you in a few months."

Atticus could immediately notice a shift in Dario's mood, as though he suddenly became somber.

Dario had always made it a point to never show his true emotions in public. It was paramount to know how to control your emotions, especially in high-pressure situations.

But he just couldn't help it this time around.
