Chapter 328
Night fell over Valemoor like a black shroud draped across the village’s wounds. There were no stars. No moon. Only smoke still rising from the ruins of burned houses and the scent of blood lingering in every corner of the land. The invading force now controlled the entire village. They patrolled streets that had once echoed with the laughter of children. They sat on the porches of homes whose owners now lay in mass graves. They laughed, drank, and divided the spoils of their plunder as though they were victors entitled to everything. Their automatic rifles rested against walls because they felt secure. There was no threat. No resistance. Valemoor had fallen. They were too confident. And that would become their greatest mistake. Hidden behind the bushes at the edge of the forest, Divo watched with narrowed eyes. He was one of the few surviving Nameless Army soldiers and had been assigned by Thom to act as a scout. Divo was small, agile, and capable of moving as silently as

Bullets whistled overhead like mad bees that had lost their hive. The smell of gunpowder began to fill the once-fresh morning air, turning the Valemoor Valley into a miniature hell that echoed with screams and the roar of gunfire. Thom rolled behind the stone wall of the gate, pulling Pear and Elias with him. His breathing remained steady, but his eyes moved rapidly, assessing the situation. The two Nameless Army soldiers who had been dragging the three hostages were dead. Vigo, Rhen, and Kael—all three lay on the ground with holes in their heads, blood spreading across the soil that had only yesterday been drenched in happiness. Behind him, the gunfire grew heavier. And even more horrifying—the screams of the villagers. Thom turned toward the village. His eyes widened. The attacking force was not only surrounding the gate. They had entered from three sides, shooting at anyone who moved. Women ran while carrying their children. An elderly man collapsed in the middle of the r

The atmosphere in Valemoor Village that morning was truly different.The sun rose with golden hues sweeping across the entire valley, as if nature itself were celebrating a special day. The fresh mountain air felt lighter, warmer.In the village square, hundreds of residents had gathered. Children ran between the legs of adults. Mothers carried baskets filled with harvested crops. Elderly farmers sat on wooden chairs, chewing tobacco, their eyes sparkling with hope.Eclad stood on a makeshift stage built from wooden planks. Beside him, Jasmine held a large sheet of paper that had just been posted on the announcement board. Their faces were radiant, unable to hide their excitement."People of Valemoor!" Eclad shouted in a loud voice. "Today is a historic day for all of us!"Small cheers began to erupt from the crowd.Jasmine stepped forward, her voice clear and full of enthusiasm. "By Thom's order, Eclad and I have been entrusted with delivering good news. An official letter from the G
Chapter 325
The atmosphere inside Amay Lug's private chamber after returning from Valemoor felt unbearably tense, even though the air conditioning was running at full capacity. The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling cast a cold light across the room, illuminating every corner of the secret chamber on the top floor of the Golden Circle headquarters. Standing before her was an elderly man leaning on a golden cane. His body was no longer as strong as it had once been, but his eyes—his eyes remained as sharp as an eagle hunting its prey. The man was Baba Lug, Amay's husband. The founder of the Golden Circle. A powerful businessman and billionaire whose ambition was to move the world and ultimately rule it. To him, power belonged exclusively to the global elite. Anyone who stood in the way—or even had the potential to stand in the way—was nothing more than trash that needed to be eliminated. "You simply let him go?" Baba Lug's voice was heavy, echoing through the room despite not being l
Chapter 324
Amay Lug furrowed her brows. Her eyes narrowed, trying to read Thom’s cold and unreadable face."So..." Amay Lug began, her voice slightly hesitant, "you know Lena very well? Close?""Yes," Thom answered shortly. There was no further explanation.Amay Lug fell silent for a moment. She tried to piece together the logic: if Thom knew Lena, then this man might know more about her past life than any stranger should."So..." Amay Lug’s voice trembled slightly, even though she tried to hold it back, "you know about my previous life?"That question was completely unexpected for Thom.He didn’t think Amay Lug would ask back. He didn’t think this woman—his mother—would show her vulnerability in the middle of this formal negotiation. Thom paused for a moment, feeling something warm and painful at the same time in his chest.Then he nodded slowly."Yes."That one word made Amay Lug look uncomfortable. Her previously confident face changed. She looked down for a moment, biting her lower lip, then

For the moment, Thom felt frozen.His entire body was rigid. His face was blank, devoid of expression, like a mask that could no longer display any emotion. His eyes stared straight at Amay Lug, but his gaze was empty.Red Dragon, standing right beside him, began to grow uneasy. He had never seen Thom like this before. Their leader, who was usually calm and calculating, had fallen silent for far too long. The air around them felt heavy."King..." Red Dragon whispered softly, barely audible. "Are you alright?"There was no answer.Red Dragon glanced toward Eclad, who was standing some distance away. Eclad merely shrugged, equally confused."King?" Red Dragon repeated, a little louder.Thom blinked.Like someone waking from a long sleep, Thom let out a slow breath. His body, which had been stiff moments ago, began to move—slightly shaking his head, slightly relaxing his tense shoulders."Yes," Thom finally answered, his voice hoarse but still flat. "I'm fine."Red Dragon did not fully b
