Xiong Dan, at this point, was a stark contrast from his usually playful and jovial deanor, turning serious: "I must admit, the news of your wanting to join the Watson Tribe genuinely surprised . I never imagined you’d make such a decision."
Shi Jie laughed freely: "Our objective as Clan Leaders is to guide our tribes towards a better future. But honestly, had I not visited the Watson Tribe, I wouldn’t have conceived the idea of a tribe capable of such feats. I couldn’t fathom how long it would take for our tribe to evolve into a powerful, influential entity like the Watson Tribe. I wonder if I would live long enough to witness such a transformation."
He then turned towards Xiong Dan, his eyes brimming with hope: "But now, having visited the Watson Tribe, I see a beacon of hope for the life we long for—a life without hunger, a mighty tribe. Hence, I wish to join them. As long as my tribe mbers are able to live significantly better lives and don’t have to die due to natural disasters or lack of proper dical treatnt, I believe my decision is right.
That’s the vow we took before Lord Beast God when we assud our roles as young Clan Leaders."
His final words sent a shock through Xiong Dan’s body, stirring a storm in his heart.
Indeed, when he first beca a Clan Leader, his greatest desire was to guide his tribesn to hunt plenty of prey, to gather many beast skins, and to lead them towards a life free from hunger and cold.
However, over ti, that fervor was worn down by the numbing repetition of daily life, leaving him unable to contemplate anything further. When faced with great beast tides and major disasters, or even when Bertel led the Orcs to attack the tribe, he felt his power was insignificant. He couldn’t do much. He was not even an Evolutionary Orc.
"As for myself, I too wish to join the Watson Tribe, and provide the sa quality of life to my tribespeople. I am confident that my people won’t loaf around in the Watson Tribe; they are diligent and good tribesn. However..."
Mid-sentence, Xiong Dan furrowed his brow: "There still remain so troubleso matters within our tribe that have not been resolved."
Shi Jie furrowed his brow in return, looking at Xiong Dan: "You an your uncle?"
Xiong Dan nodded: "Indeed. He was never comfortable with being the Clan Leader, but he didn’t dare voice his opinions as he had the support of the Shaman. However, above all, he and his Hunting Team do not obey my commands."
Shi Jie was puzzled: "What does he gain out of such actions? Xiong Dan doesn’t want to be a Clan Leader, and your uncle’s life is nearing its end. What’s the point in all this?"
Xiong Dan let out a disdainful sneer: "Xiong Dan may not wish to be a Clan Leader, but there is soone else who does."
"Your uncle supports another Orc to beco the Clan Leader just to oppose you? What’s it to him?" Shi Jie couldn’t fathom the elder Orc’s train of thought.
Xiong Dan’s tone was icily cold: "Who said anything about ’another Orc’? That is my cousin. My uncle rely desires to propel his offspring to the leadership position. That’s not an irregular assumption, is it?"
"Are you implying Xiong Dan now wishes to claim the mantle of Clan Leader?" Shi Jie was frustrated by the intricate drama unfolding in the Gray Bear Tribe.
