As Adams stepped out, he too caught the alluring scent of meat in the air. His immediate reaction as the Tribe Chief of his clan was to reprimand.
Gary, however, remained unperturbed upon hearing Adams’ comment. He harbored no animosity toward Adams and recognized that, as long as Adams didn’t conspire against their Tribe Chief, there was no issue.
In this world, there existed a multitude of clans and various types of Tribe Chiefs. Most were primarily self-interested, with the welfare of their clansmen often taking a back seat. Adams, on the other hand, exhibited behavior that demonstrated his consideration for his clan, even if it involved scheming against their Tribe Chief or other actions.
His critique about the meat was simply an extension of his nature. He was equally strict with himself, all in the pursuit of securing the greatest benefits for his clansmen.
For example, the two pieces of meat they had brought the previous day remained untouched. The mere fact that they had ventured to the Five Elements Clan indicated that they hadn’t consumed the meat they had brought.
Gary harbored no ill feelings toward Adams for his seemingly unnecessary concern. He assured him, “Our Tribe Chief will make suitable arrangements. You needn’t worry.”
Gary’s tone was sincere, devoid of any offense or malice, as if he were conveying a simple truth.
Adams observed Gary, took note of the composure exhibited by the Five Elements clansmen, and the weapons they carried. Initially, he had felt that their actions were thoughtless regarding their future. However, he recalled Xuelai’s statement regarding their clan’s frequent encounters with wild beasts, suggesting that they likely didn’t lack for meat.
In hindsight, it appeared that his apprehensions had been unwarranted
It was the Thunder Fire Clan that faced challenges in acquiring meat.
Adams refrained from further comments and departed with a small contingent of Thunder Fire Clan members. The journey back was expected to take at least four hours, and they had already exhausted their dry rations the previous day, with the intention of returning after their discussion.
Adams planned to forage for wild fruits with his group to curb their hunger before reaching their destination.
Observing their departure, Gary directed them toward some food. “You can have a meal here before you leave.”
“The clan has prepared some wild vegetable soup for everyone to share.”
Gary continued, “The clan cooked meat today. Given that everyone indulged in meat yesterday, they decided to save today’s portion and serve it only to the elders and children in the clan. As young men, there won’t be any for you. So, please don’t misconstrue our hospitality.”
Adams, however, retained his pride and declined to partake in a meal with the Five Elements Clan. His self-esteem had already taken a blow today, having expressed his willingness to join the clan and subsequently being rejected. It would be incongruous for him to stay and dine, as he couldn’t fathom incurring further indebtedness.
After explaining his decision, Adams and his men swiftly departed, indicating their intention to forage for wild fruits en route to sustain themselves.
As they left, Adams discussed their next steps. “All our plans have fallen through.”
“We’ll need to find an alternative approach.”
“The Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan seems to have transformed into an entirely different person. She’s unrecognizable compared to her previous self.”
