บท 1051: Power of Words

Arthur saw the expressions on everyone's faces and remembered another painful memory of how others had repaid his kindness with hatred. In Shades City, he had fought against Traitor and destroyed half of the city in their battle. At that time, the residents were not grateful that a calamity's underlying had been defeated. Instead, they were furious about having to pay the price for their safety. The reason was simple: they had not witnessed what would have happened if Arthur had not intervened.
