Spring arrived, but with it came treachery. One of Jonathan's trusted allies was discovered to be in league with the enemy, supplying critical information. Jonathan confronted the traitor in the quiet of a moonlit garden.
The duel was swift and merciless. Hamon flowed through Jonathan like wildfire, each strike precise, exploiting the traitor's overconfidence. As the enemy fled into the night, Jonathan felt both relief and unease. The network had penetrated deeper than he imagined.
The betrayal ignited a new resolve in Jonathan. He would root out the enemy's agents, no matter how deeply they hid, and he would train harder than ever, pushing Hamon to its limits. Knowledge and power together were the only path forward if the Jorwick line was to survive.
