It turned out that Golden Eyes was somewhat useful. After all, he had once been under Hirodod, and he understood Hirodod's habits of conduct better than most. With him by their side, he indeed played a role in filling the gaps.
However, when Tom suddenly asked if Golden Eyes could persuade the Church guard team to defect to the Double Rest Sect or, at the very least, bring his subordinates over, Golden Eyes just shook his head and refused.
He later explained, "The curse placed on us by the Silver Moon Church is very powerful. No one has been able to escape this curse for thousands of years, so it's rare for warriors of the Church guard team to betray the Church, even if they are my men.
If it hadn't been for our capture by you guys, I wouldn't have chosen this path."
Tom felt it was fair to conclude, Golden Eyes was useful, but not by much.
But now wasn't the time to settle old scores with this guy, rescuing Clara came first.
