Chapter 82: He Is Here

“We watched him rise over the past ten years, right under our noses…” Clancy continued.

“Yes, we did,” Priya said.

“His accomplice, Talliu, is peacefully placing both hope and doubts in the hearts of the commune's members, hope that goes against what we stand for, doubt over the very purpose of what we stand for.”
