“You must offer something that can benefit our Five Elements Clan,” Gu Chaoyan a.s.serted.
The members of the Five Elements Clan couldn’t help but silently chuckle upon hearing their Tribe Chief’s resolute stance. It seemed the Tribe Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan exhibited a similar pattern of behavior.
In the past, their Tribe Chief had treated him well and willingly provided supplies. However, instead of expressing grat.i.tude or repaying the kindness, he grew increasingly avaricious. Within the Five Elements Clan, he seemed fixated on taking without offering anything in return.
Having grown accustomed to receiving, he now found himself taken aback when he couldn’t have his way.
People like him deserved to be left to their own devices and given the cold shoulder. The best course of action would be for him to depart as soon as possible. The mere thought of this brought relief to their minds.
Did the Tribe Chief genuinely believe that she was a simpleton, using the Five Elements Clan as a means of soliciting help?
“Fine,” Gu Chaoyan responded wearily, considering it a waste of her time to continue the conversation.
Upon hearing their Tribe Chief’s words, the Five Elements Clan members couldn’t help but inwardly rejoice at her decisiveness.
Adams, sensing the gravity of the situation, called out anxiously, “Wait!”
The bamboo house and weapons of the Five Elements Clan held immense importance for the Thunder Fire Clan. It was precisely because of this that he couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity.
The Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan was evidently no fool, comprehending that her current position was fundamentally different from the past. She wielded real power now, and her confidence in a.s.serting her stance was palpable.
Did she merely wish to attain her desires?
He would comply with her wishes.
Adams leaned back, his gaze focused on Gu Chaoyan. He spoke seriously, “I will do as you ask.”
Gu Chaoyan furrowed her brow in response.
“Weren’t you always interested in becoming the wife of our Thunder Fire Clan?” Adams continued. “I pledge to marry you, and once you become a member of the Thunder Fire Clan, you will bear the t.i.tle of my wife. Your actions will carry the authority of a wife, and they will be appreciative of your contributions. I, Adams, will also ensure the well-being of your Five Elements Clan, guaranteeing that they will lack nothing.”
“From this moment onward, you may serve the Thunder Fire Clan peacefully.”
“My clansmen may not be amenable to this, but I, Adams, concur,” Adams declared with a solemn demeanor, as if reluctantly agreeing to the arrangement. He conveyed an air of discontent, as though the Five Elements Clan owed him something.
Gary and the others couldn’t contain their fury, their fists clenched, yearning to strike Adams. He displayed an unprecedented level of shamelessness, taking advantage of them yet speaking as though he were on the losing end of the deal.
To have the Tribe Chief serve as his wife and exert influence on behalf of the Thunder Fire Clan, while the people of the Five Elements Clan would be under the control of the Thunder Fire Clan? The more they heard, the more incensed they became. What did he take the Five Elements Clan for?
Gu Chaoyan hadn’t expected Adams to treat Xuelai as the Tribe Chief, so she turned to Gary, signaling him to take action.
At first, Gary was taken aback.
Gu Chaoyan nodded affirmatively.
With a clear understanding of her intentions, Gary promptly readied himself to take action.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he unleashed a powerful punch towards Adams’ face, catching him off guard. By the time Adams reacted, he found himself utterly overmatched by Gary’s unrelenting a.s.sault. Gary appeared to have lost control, delivering a relentless beating.
The other members of the Thunder Fire Tribe contemplated intervening, but the Five Elements Clan swiftly raised their bows and aimed arrows directly at them, dissuading them from taking further action.
“That’s enough,” Gu Chaoyan intervened, observing that the beating was nearly concluded.
