No One Dares Accept Braydon's Gratitude

Braydon Neal spoke softly, "The crucial issue now is whether the 3,000 ruins possess a means to breach the bronze doors. If they do, it will remove the final barrier separating the ruins from the outside world. Once the aborigines breach through, they'll be unstoppable."

Externally, Braydon conveyed that he was expanding his territory within the 16th ruin. 

In reality, his aim was to establish a secure perimeter. 

In the event of escalating circumstances, the safety zone within the 16th ruin could be fully activated. 

It would serve as a haven for the nation's youth, preserving civilization for generations to come.

"And you..." Heather Sage's nerves were evident in her voice.

"We'll have no choice but to fight to the end," Braydon responded, meeting her gaze with unwavering determination. 

He understood her concerns and offered her a resolute answer.
