Chapter 109: The Regret

The resistance, once bound by an unshakable unity, found itself at a crossroads tainted by betrayal. Xavier's past, a haunting specter that he had tried so desperately to escape, had resurfaced with a vengeance. And the consequences of that revelation would ripple through their ranks like a poison.

As Xavier had feared, the figure from his past, a woman named Elara, had indeed known the truth about his enigmatic abilities. But her connection to the puppeteers ran deeper than anyone had anticipated. She had infiltrated the resistance not as an enemy, but as a mole.

The revelation hit the group like a bolt of lightning. Gabriel, who had recently struck a dangerous deal with the puppeteers, found himself questioning the motives of those he had believed to be his comrades.

Sophia's eyes, once filled with fire and determination, were now clouded with doubt and anger. "How could we have been so blind?" she muttered, her voice laced with betrayal.
