The lone traveler is not a rich merchant, but a simple, elderly pilgrim. When the ambush is sprung, the old man fights back with surprising skill and a strange, weary sadness, showing no fear of his attackers. The fight becomes a cruel game until Dray steps in to end it with a single, brutal blow. But as the crew stands over the body in the dying light, the silence is deafening. For the first time, a victory feels entirely hollow.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?
