Chapter 334
The night in Valemoor felt warmer than usual. Bonfires burned in several places, illuminating the faces of villagers who were beginning to smile again after days filled with sorrow. In one corner of the square, beneath a large tree that still stood strong, Pear and Elias sat side by side.The crackling of firewood broke the silence. Pear clasped her hands together, her eyes fixed on the dancing flames.Elias turned toward her. The face of his sister, once filled with hatred, now seemed calmer. Something had changed within Pear since the attack—since Thom had saved her."Pear," Elias said softly, his voice full of pride, "I'm proud of you. You chose to stand with us. You finally see that Thom is not to blame for our past."Pear raised her head. Her eyes were glossy with tears, but she held back the ones that were about to fall."Yes," she replied, her voice trembling slightly, "he is our brother. I owe him my life. Twice, Elias. Twice he saved me. Once back on the ship, and again du
Chapter 333
The morning sun bathed Valemoor in its warm golden light.On top of a small hill overlooking the village, Thom stood with his hands on his hips. Behind him, Eclad, Divo, and the remaining soldiers of the Nameless Army waited solemnly.Below them, Valemoor still looked like an open wound. Burned houses. Ground stained with dried blood.But today, something felt different in the air.There was hope."Bring everyone to the central square," Thom ordered Eclad. "I want all the villagers gathered."Eclad nodded and ran down the hill.A few minutes later, all the surviving residents of Valemoor—around one hundred and fifty people from two hundred households—gathered in the same square where they had celebrated good news just a few days earlier.Now the square was empty, nothing but barren ground and the lingering footprints of mercenaries. But at the center of the square, Thom stood on a makeshift stage built from old wooden planks.Thom looked at the faces before him. Tired faces. Grieving

The President smiled faintly before immediately turning toward his aide with an angry expression."Why haven't you prepared anything? Why did you let such an important guest enter without proper arrangements? Hurry, prepare a meal!"The aide rushed out of the room.The President walked toward Thom with a bright smile."I'm so glad you've returned to Eunosia, Thom. Truly glad. All this time, I—""I know," Thom interrupted coldly. "You haven't been able to sleep since I left."The President fell silent.Thom stepped closer. "Oh, more precisely, since Eunosia drove me away. Since you chose to support the Golden Circle instead of protecting me."The President's face flushed with shame. He lowered his head."I... I know I made a mistake. I thought they would help, but instead they abandoned me. They've been consuming Eunosia from within. I haven't slept a single night without thinking about what I did to you."Thom looked at him expressionlessly. "I didn't come here to visit you, Mr. Presi
Chapter 331
In Eunosia, inside the magnificent White House with its marble pillars and glittering crystal chandeliers, the President of Eunosia sat at his desk with a troubled expression.The dark circles beneath his eyes revealed countless sleepless nights. In front of him, stacks of economic reports and letters of protest from the people lay scattered like neglected trash.Since Thom Haye had been driven out of the state, Eunosia had not prospered. Investments had dried up. Public trust had collapsed. Crime had skyrocketed. The Golden Circle, which he had supported, was instead devouring his nation from within, taking over major businesses and making ordinary people suffer even more.The President stared blankly out the window.Below, the city of Eunosia, once dazzling and vibrant, now appeared dim. Many of the streetlights were out. The towering buildings stood like concrete corpses devoid of life."Any news from Thom?" he asked quietly to the aide standing beside him.The aide shook his head
Chapter 330
Baba Lug narrowed his eyes at the door that Amay had just closed.He let out a long sigh, then turned toward the shadow in the corner of the room. There stood a heavily built man with a face covered in scars, motionless as a statue. It was Yegaz, his most trusted confidant. The one who knew all his secrets. The one who never asked questions. The one who always obeyed."She's been acting strangely ever since she returned from Valemoor," Baba Lug said, his voice heavy with irritation. "Something has changed in her. I can feel it."Yegaz nodded slowly. "What would you like me to do, Baba?"Baba Lug took a deep drag from his pipe, holding the smoke in his lungs for a moment before slowly exhaling."Find out what Thom said to her. I don't believe that woman simply sat there listening to a negotiation proposal. Something happened in Valemoor. Something she hasn't told me.""Yes, Baba," Yegaz replied. "I'll investigate."Baba Lug nodded in satisfaction. He watched the smoke rising from his p
Chapter 329
A mercenary stood at the corner of the street, leaning against a wall while smoking. He did not notice the shadow behind him. A heated iron arrow shot out from the darkness, piercing his throat. There was no scream. Only a faint hissing sound as the hot metal burned through flesh. His body collapsed gently to the ground, caught by unseen hands to prevent any noise. Two other soldiers sat on the porch of a house. They were laughing. Divo emerged from behind the bushes with a machete drawn. One slash—the first man's throat opened in silence. Before the second man could react, Eclad's blade had already plunged into his chest. Not a single sound was heard. Inside Thom's house, the mercenary commander was still laughing as he poured himself some wine. He had no idea that outside, his two guards were already dead without a sound—their throats slit from behind, their bodies hidden among the bushes. Thom stood in the doorway. His machete was stained with blood. He knocked soft
