Aru was amazed to see the large building right in the middle of the town.

It was entirely made of wood and looked sturdy.

Compared to the old and dilapidated buildings he had seen in the past, this was on an entirely new level.

While talking with Nom, Das, and many of the people he knew, he realized the tribe had improved from within. They were better organized, and their resources were being managed carefully.

Overall, the transformation of the tribe was evident to Aru as he walked into the tribal hall.

At the same time, he also realized the waves he had created by defeating Kaan.
