Chapter 371 - Across the Shores of Hope

The ships had all docked along the shore, creating an impressive line that stretched across the coastline. 

Cameras captured every moment, focusing on Talon, who stood as the central figure of the entire scene.

As Tristan walked closer and stopped in front of Talon's group, he smiled warmly at Talon, who returned the gesture. 

Then his gaze shifted to Alice, standing beside Claire.

The crowd fell silent, watching the emotional moment unfold. 

The only sound was the steady hum of helicopters hovering over the waters nearby.

Without a word, Alice stepped forward, slowly approaching her father. 

Tristan's eyes glistened as he took in her appearance—months of surviving without the comforts of their world had left her visibly changed. 

His heart ached, knowing how much she had endured.

"Dad," Alice said softly, her voice trembling as she wrapped her arms around him.
