“I can’t change the situation now. We have no one to blame but ourselves for our past arrogance. They now view us with the same disdain that we once held for them. Despite the Five Elements Clan’s attractive offerings, they have already treated us as outsiders. We have no recourse in this matter.” Adams acknowledged the harsh reality, his tone tinged with frustration.

He couldn’t help but wonder how their lives might have turned out differently if he hadn’t underestimated the Five Elements Clan and had merely exploited their resources. Regret gnawed at him, realizing that things could have unfolded differently.

“Tribe Chief,” the Thunder Fire Clan members appeared eager to voice their thoughts, but Adams’ demeanor made them reconsider, and they held their tongues.

Meanwhile, in the Five Elements Clan, Gary, after escorting Adams out, retraced his steps.

Upon arriving at Aina’s location, he fetched some meat soup and wild vegetable paste.

Deep in thought, the Tribe Chief, Gu Chaoyan, was engrossed in her contemplations.

“Tribe Chief, please have some,” Gary urged with an affable smile.

“Place it here,” Gu Chaoyan replied nonchalantly. She didn’t require sustenance anywhere else, but her appetite diminished significantly in this environment.

After setting the food in place, Gary lingered and surveyed the surroundings. It took quite some time before Gu Chaoyan noticed something was amiss.

“What’s on your mind?” she inquired.

In response, Gary approached her with enthusiasm, his curiosity palpable. “Tribe Chief, the Thunder Fire Clan’s Tribe Chief has already displayed such humility, yet you remain reluctant. Is it possible that you truly dislike him?”

Gu Chaoyan scrutinized Gary, recognizing the source of his curiosity.

The disparity was indeed substantial.

From Adams’ words, it was evident just how fond Xuelai had once been of him.

“I no longer like him,” Gu Chaoyan stated earnestly. “I used to like him, and I did try. I invested a lot of effort, but he was like an immovable boulder, and I couldn’t sway him. Since I couldn’t sway him, it’s only reasonable that he’s grown weary and no longer holds any affection for me. Even though he’s reversed his stance now…”

“I am well aware that he still doesn’t like me. What he desires are solely the bamboo houses and weapons of the Five Elements Clan.”

“Whether it was his prior propositions or those that followed, they all revolved around schemes against our Five Elements Clan. Even if he becomes part of the Five Elements Clan and allows me to preside over both clans, how long can I maintain my position? The Thunder Fire Clan has already surpassed us in strength. There will come a day when we have no place left.”

“I understood that I was steering the Five Elements Clan onto a challenging path. Why would I choose to do that?”

“Everyone is content,” Gu Chaoyan declared.

Her words contained both truth and falsehood.

They were truthful because they conveyed her authentic sentiments. They were deceptive because there was no possibility of her desiring Adams.

Gary maintained his foolish grin, viewing his Tribe Chief favorably.

He believed this Tribe Chief to be truly exceptional.

“Oh, and Gary,” Gu Chaoyan motioned for him to sit down, then positioned the meat and wild vegetable paste in front of him. “I don’t have an appetite for meat this morning. You eat it. I have something to discuss with you.”

Gary hesitated. “Tribe Chief, please, eat.”

“If you’re not going to eat, I won’t discuss it with you. Giles would do as well,” Gu Chaoyan stated, rising from her seat.

“Tribe Chief, I’ll eat!” Gary swiftly began eating.
