NovelBook"Selene, you've got snerve! You eat on the medical organization's dime, use their resources, and they've treated you like a prized gem, giving you the best of everything and turning you into a so-called genius. And this is how you repay us?" Mr. Atticus was fuming, pouring out all the humiliation he'd suffered at Flora's and in the hospital ward, doubling his rage onto Selene.
"Have I been too lenient with you all this time?" he snapped, grabbing a medical textbook from the small couch and hurling it at Selene. "Or do you think now that you've got connections with Club 257 and Empire Base, you can just ignore me?" Mr. Atticus's usual calm facade was shattered, revealing a sinister and terrifying face.

Her tone grew firmer, "What do I need to do to be allowed to leave?" Mr. Atticus, infuriated by her tone, raised his hand to slap her again. "What kind of attitude is this!" But this time, Selene wasn't just going to stand there and take it; she quickly sidestepped, dodging his blow.
Mr. Atticus hadn't expected her to dodge, his hand freezing mid-air, his face dark as a burnt pan.
