Chapter 1054: A Familiar Face? (2)



Meanwhile, the crowds experienced another surge of emotions.

"Thank goodness! I was beginning to think that our leaders no longer cared about us and were willing to do anything for the sake of power!"

"This is a good revelation! Among our leaders, a few still possess some conscience!"

"It's a shame that our number of good leaders is so insignificant compared to the bad ones!"

They all sighed in relief as they spoke one by one.

"... And due to this, Paradise has decided to spare their lives. They will be no different from the ordinary inhabitants of Trekking Flamingo Runaway City from now on. They will assist in training new leaders appointed by Paradise for the betterment of the city!" Seth added. He gestured for them to stand aside, away from the other leaders.

Orion nodded in approval as he observed from the side. Evidently, Seth had been honing his skills in choosing and delivering his words. Apart from these two, the only leader spared was the one responsible for the Forgepalace. Still, there was no need to announce that, as the inhabitants were already satisfied with everything that had transpired.

As the inhabitants' voices rose loudly, Seth returned to Orion's side with the two spared leaders.

The event continued, and within ten minutes, it was over. The gods' chosen and the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City inhabitants were tasked with cleaning the environment. Surprisingly, small mechanical entities emerged from various corners of the streets to aid in the cleanup. They captured Orion's and the others' attention.

Meanwhile, the warriors, alongside Seth, handled the disposal of the corpses. They no longer needed to feed the Vylkr vines, as they could manage them quickly now.

Both women spoke with no hesitation or flicker of doubt in their actions or words. Although they had no knowledge of the individual before them, the fact that one of Paradise's Key Leaders had left them in his hands indicated that he held a significant position among the

warriors.

Orion narrowed his eyes at them, scrutinizing their expressions for any signs of deception, but he found none. This convinced him they were worthy of their titles as former Trekking Flamingo Runaway City leaders.

"In truth, only one of you here is responsible for indirectly helping us secure the information we needed to stop the nobles and their atrocities. As for the other, the Key Leader of Paradise has merely taken an interest in you, leading to your life being spared as well," Orion said, observing the varying reactions of the two women.

Zarelia trembled slightly, her expression paling. Meanwhile, a look of understanding emerged on Evaline's face.

Orion turned his attention to Evaline. "However, this does not change the fact that you did not provide us with the information directly. We were the ones who had to search for it

actively."

Evaline immediately bowed her head in response. "I am aware of the consequences of my actions and am grateful for your benevolence. I will devote myself to Paradise and fulfil all its desires to the best of my ability."

Orion nodded. He planned to make her take an oath later, as he still intended to utilize her skills within the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City. Therefore, he was indifferent to how much emotion she put into her words.

"As for you, your fate will be decided by the Key Leader. He's quite headstrong and hot- tempered, so do your best not to annoy him," Orion advised, focusing on Zarelia.

He knew Seth well enough to understand that he was genuinely curious about the dragonic bloodline within the Dragmins and wouldn't act brutally toward her. In fact, she would benefit significantly, as her status would be elevated by serving one of Paradise's Key Leaders.

"Thank you for your advice, Great Warrior. I will certainly keep it in mind," Zarelia responded swiftly, nodding. Her life had been spared on a whim, so unlike Evaline, she was anxious about the future.
