Human swine!

She had only seen such things in books and movies, but now, the Pharaoh had actually gone to such lengths. Then again, what hadn't the Yaren tribe done back in the day? Burning, killing, looting-nothing was beyond them.

Nina took a deep breath. "I don't want to run the tribe. I made that clear when I came here. I'm just cooperating with you..."

"But Nina, you can't deny the blood ties between us. Are you planning to never acknowledge us?"

Micah had never demanded anything from Nina, nor had he ever spoken harshly to her. But at this moment, he needed her to understand that their bloodline was inseparable.

"Let's leave the future for the future. I'm happy with my current life. Micah..."

"Call me brother."

Micah had always believed that time would prove everything. But five years had passed, and Nina still seemed to hold a grudge.

Nina hesitated, unsure of what to say. Her memories started in Birkham, where she grew up. She had no recollection of the Yaren tribe and still could not remember anything. She accepted the twists of fate, but how could she acknowledge familial bonds without any emotional connection?

"I can't bring myself to say it. If you need me, I'll be there. But the Pharaoh..."

"What about him? No matter how bad he is, he's still a father. Nina, he's never wronged you. If you weren't his daughter, you wouldn't have known Wilfred and Scarlett. Your room has never been touched, and it's even been renovated. What more do you need to believe that we are sincere?"

Micah's eyes were filled with earnest determination. To Nina, it looked like a determination so strong it was willing to face death, but she did not want Micah or the Pharaoh to die.

Nina felt as if her throat was being strangled, making it hard to breathe. Just as Micah was about to say more, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she frowned.

Despite being a war journalist for five years, she had not changed her number. The call was from Salterra. She hesitated before answering.

To her surprise, it was Nash's voice on the other end. "Don't return to Salterra. Stay in the Yaren tribe."

It was not the raspy voice she had heard before. So, Nash's voice had been altered somehow and was not actually damaged. If Nash was fine, why hadn't he contacted her? She could not understand.

"I need a reason why I shouldn't go back. And why haven't you seen me all these years? You owe me an explanation. Do you really think I'll just listen to you without one?"

Nina grew more agitated as she spoke, and Micah started to grasp the implications of her words. He could not believe that someone who had been dead for five years could come back, especially at such a critical moment.

Micah stood silently by, his mind a whirlwind of emotions, yet he remained silent.

Finally, Nina shouted, "Nash! It's been five years, and you're still hiding things from me? If you don't tell me the truth, I swear you'll see my dead body!

"Nash, answer me! I'm talking to you!"
