The Brilliant Healer's New Life In The Shadows Episode 5: Aston Seeks Out Zenos; Recap, Release Date And More

In ‘A Righteous Hero,’ Krishna accuses Zenos of enslaving Lily, but Lily reveals he saved her. Surprised Zenos resisted her bullet, Krishna believes he’s a grand sorcerer. She demands his cooperation in investigating the illegal child slave trade.

Zophia intervenes, exposing Lord Calendor as the culprit. Zenos admits he's the "mediator." Krishna finds Calendor’s dungeon and is shot, but Zenos and Zophia rescue and heal her. Realizing Zenos is the slums' true hero, she vows to seek justice and smiles for the first time since her mother’s death.
