Capítulo 828: Doubts

Celestial's silence was deafening.

At Atticus's subpar answer, all she did was stare at him intensely. That was it? If she were being honest, Celestial had expected something more. Even if Atticus had to lie, wouldn't it have been better than this?

Yet, even after several seconds passed, the silence lingered. It seemed Atticus had no intention of adding anything further.

Celestial suddenly shook her head as if clearing her thoughts. Her eyes regained their focus, and she walked to the side, folding her hands behind her back.

"Do you know the history of the Starhaven family, Apex Atticus? How we came to be a tier-one family?"

Atticus glanced at her, a bit surprised by the abrupt change in topic. 'Her aura has also shifted.'

He could sense it immediately. When she arrived, her demeanor had been calm and expressionless. But now, with his heightened perception, he could see her aura was slightly muddled, as if she was unsure about something.
