Chapter 60 The Confrontation

• The group was exhausted, wounded, and emotionally shaken, but still standing. They wouldn’t be able to move forward that night, so Atticus ordered them to set up camp. The flames of the bonfire danced across their faces, creating a somber yet hopeful atmosphere.
• Atticus approached Serenity, looking at her with a mix of emotions. "Serenity, I know there are many unanswered questions. But I promise, no matter what happens, I will protect you."
• Serenity looked at Atticus with a mix of intrigue and suspicion. He seemed attentive at that moment, perhaps due to the three consecutive battles they had faced. Serenity wasn’t sure, but she chose to remain silent, her gaze lowered.
