V2 Chapter 54 : The Plan

As Jackson's words sank in, a collective sigh of relief rippled through the room. The prospect of having a major ally in the upcoming Divine Gathering alleviated some of the tension that had been weighing on their shoulders. The town chief of Stoneforge's offer provided a glimmer of hope in the face of the daunting challenges ahead.

With a sense of gratitude and determination, the group turned their attention back to Jackson as he continued to address them. His gaze fell upon Cuprite, his expression serious yet reassuring.

"Cuprite," Jackson began, his tone firm. "In my absence, you will assume the role of the acting chief of Genesis village." Cuprite's eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected responsibility thrust upon her, but she nodded solemnly, understanding the importance of her new role. "Understood, Master. You can rest easy that Cuprite will protect this place with my life" Cuprite replied, her voice steady despite the weight of her new duties.
