The new boss (part two, double update)

"Was it you who saved those Eldia Restorationists and their families?" Selina looked at Yago with a complicated expression.

Yago: "If there are no surprises, then it's me."

Selina took a deep breath, then bowed deeply in apology. "I'm so sorry! I was so rude. Thank you so much for your help to our Eldia Restorationists!"

Yago waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.

"So what are you planning to do next? If nothing unexpected happens, the only Eldia Restorationists left are probably these few Eldia Soldiers in the army. Do you really think you can overthrow Marley with just that? What makes you think you can? What gives you the right?"

Yago's words left Serene speechless. It was indeed the case that with Selina and her current group, they couldn't even make a ripple in the wars in Marley or the Middle East, let alone overthrow Marley.

Yago looked at the silent Selina and continued, "Before Jack died, he learned that there were countless Eldians on Paradis Island. He asked me to do something. Do you know what it is? You can guess."

Selina looked up blankly. What had Jack said before he died? What would Jack do now that he knew there were his own kind on Paradis Island? Would he have them Eldia Restorationists to overthrow Marley? Would he? Probably.

"He begged me to save their families and children, out of consideration for us being fellow Eldia, and apologized to Selina."

Selina lowered her head, biting her lip, her eyes welling up with tears again, "Jack..."

Yago came to Selina's side, placed his hand on her shoulder, and said, "Selina, the Eldia Restorationists' goals are far too unrealistic. The Eldia Restorationists in Marley alone cannot possibly overthrow Marley."

Selina said helplessly, "Then what should we do? Are we just going to let the Marleyan enslave us Eldians? Should we Eldians really be wiped out?"

Yago shook his head and said earnestly, "No, perhaps you Eldia Restorationists cannot do this with your own strength, but you are not alone. On Paradis Island, there are countless compatriots of yours. We can be your support!"

Selina: "Paradis Island?"

"That's right, Paradis Island. Only when all of us Eldians unite can we overthrow the shackles that have bound us Selina Eldians, join us." Yago extended his hand to Selina.

Looking into Yago's resolute gaze, Selina didn't know what to say. She reached out and shook Yago's hand, then asked, "I agree, but you have to answer one question for me: why have our compatriots on Paradis Island never contacted us Eldians outside the island? Have they really abandoned us, as the Marleyan say?"

Yago hesitated; the reason seemed somewhat complicated. But before he could explain, Selina asked again, "Furthermore, is it really the idea of our fellow islanders to unite the Eldians? Or is this just your own suggestion?"

Staring into Selina's amber eyes, Yago felt a little awkward, but ultimately spoke the truth, "This is my idea, but I believe it's correct, and the Eldians on the island should agree. We Eldians don't have many other choices but to unite."

Suddenly, Selina burst into laughter, a loud laugh.

Yago frowned. Did he think what he said was ridiculous?

But after Selina finished laughing, she suddenly approached Yago with a solemn expression and said very seriously, "I agree with your idea, and I can also support you on behalf of all the Eldia Restorationists."

"Yago Norman, we don't know what our compatriots on the island are thinking, but we absolutely support your ideas. We will always remember your help to our Eldia Restorationists. In return, I, Selina, am willing to lead all the Restorationists to obey your orders." After saying this, Selina even knelt on one knee to show her submission.

Yago was dumbfounded. What was going on? What did you mean by obeying my orders? I meant for you Restorationists to cooperate with Paradis Island, not to become my subordinates. You must have made a mistake.

But Selina didn't allow Yago to refuse at all, and directly and unilaterally announced that the Restorationists would be under Yago's command. Before this, Selina herself was very confused about the future of the Restorationists. When Jack was around, she could listen to Jack's advice, but with Jack's sacrifice, the already vague and dark future of the Eldia Restorationists became even more hopeless.

Yago's words and ideas seemed to give Selina another hope, a more promising future than the original goals of the Restorationists. Therefore, Selina chose to believe Yago and was willing to lead the Restorationists to pledge allegiance to Yago, who had helped them, and hoped that Yago could do everything he said.

Selina didn't have much trust in her fellow countrymen on the island whom she had never met, but Yago was different. At least his beliefs and actions made them, the Restorationists, trust him.

"Then perhaps it's time for the Eldia Restorationists to withdraw from the world stage, Yago. Give us a new name," Selina said, looking at Yago.

After a moment's thought, Yago said softly, "Our goal is to unite all Eldians, to free us from Eldians shackles, and to allow Eldians to rise again. So, let's call it the Eldia Revival Army."

Selina murmured, repeating even this new name, Eldia Revival Army? Does it mean Eldia will be restored? Restoration and restoration of power—a difference of one word, but the meanings they contain are vastly different.

By this time, Yago's wounds had fully healed. Seeing Yago's complete recovery, Selina was somewhat surprised. "You possess the Titan Power? Is it the Titan Power that the Marleyan lost on Paradis Island? The Colossal Titan? The Jaw Titan? The Female Titan?"

Yago smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, it's the Fate Titan, the Fate Titan."

Selina didn't understand what Yago meant, but she nodded nonetheless and said, "I'll make arrangements as soon as possible so that the core members of the Restorationists —no, the Restoration Army— can get to know you. I Yago you can prepare accordingly."

Yago chuckled lightly. Was this some kind of introduction for his underlings to pay their respects to the new boss?
