Hearing Lucas's words, Atticus's lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile as he burst into laughter.
Lucas looked at Atticus feeling a little bewildered.
'Why is he laughing?' He thought.
After a few seconds, Atticus, wiping away a tear that formed from laughing too hard, spoke, "Haa, You're cracking me up, Lucas. Don't tell me this is the first time you felt you're not the smartest in the room?"
Lucas's lips twitched. But he couldn't help but agree with Atticus. This was the first time he felt… inadequate.
He had always known Atticus was smart; it was glaring with the way he handled everything.
But if Lucas had to be honest, he had assumed that he had always been a step ahead of Atticus with regards to intelligence.
In fact, he had been so sure of himself that he felt that in his age group, only the Enigmalnk family youths who had a bloodline that focuses on intelligence could contend with him.
