Giles appeared somewhat ashen and wore a grim expression, but he seemed to be uninjured.

Upon seeing Giles’s expression, Gu Chaoyan deduced that there was no intruder. If there were any intruders, Gary and the others would have raised the alarm, alerting the entire clan to be on guard.

So, what could have caused Giles’s distress?

“Giles, what’s happened?” Gu Chaoyan asked, seeking to rea.s.sure him. “Stay calm when faced with a situation.”

Giles also attempted to regain his composure.

Even when facing outsiders in confrontations, he could maintain remarkable composure.

However…

Today was different.

The people from the Thunder Fire Tribe had arrived.

The Thunder Fire Clan had never engaged in combat with them. When their Tribe Chief sent emissaries to request resources, it typically ended with the Tribe Chief taking whatever was left in the clan and departing contentedly.

Gu Chaoyan was in a position to comply with these requests.

Yet, life within the clan was far from easy.

Without those resources, the already-scarce Five Elements Clan would be vulnerable to raids or malicious intent from other clans.

In the past, they might have acquiesced to such demands.

But now, the situation had changed completely.

The clan already enjoyed a thriving environment, and its members harbored hope for the future. The Five Elements Clan was flouris.h.i.+ng, and as long as they didn’t disrupt the present, a prosperous life was within their grasp.

Furthermore, the Tribe Chief had enlisted Garcia to craft a mult.i.tude of bowls, further enhancing their quality of life.

Their lives were continually improving.

The unexpected arrival of the Thunder Fire Clan took them all by surprise.

Upon witnessing the clan’s prosperity, the two Thunder Fire Clan representatives displayed an unmistakably covetous look, indicating their desire to claim these resources for themselves.

As for the Tribe Chief…

Adams, the head of the Lightning Fire Tribe, had consistently acquiesced to their requests.

Despite the current Tribe Chief demonstrating a more responsible and dutiful approach, there was no guarantee that the appearance of the Thunder Fire Clan wouldn’t revert the Tribe Chief to her previous ways.

In their pursuit of the clan’s resources, the Thunder Fire Clan likely intended to offer the Tribe Chief highly tempting conditions.

Giles had yet to voice his concerns, but it seemed as though he could already foresee the outcome.

He shut his eyes and expressed his despair, “Tribe Chief, the Thunder Fire Tribe’s people have arrived.”

“Thunder Fire Clan?” Gu Chaoyan found the name somewhat familiar, as though she had heard it mentioned somewhere before.

After a moment of contemplation, she recalled that Aina had referred to this clan.

Why were they here?

“When encountering other tribes, there’s no need to fear. If they have malicious intent, we can defend ourselves with bows and arrows. If not, we can continue on our way. Didn’t I mention this before? Or do you find the Thunder Fire Clan particularly challenging to deal with?” Gu Chaoyan inquired calmly. While she wasn’t entirely pleased with how Giles and the others were handling the situation, she also understood that they had never encountered such a predicament before. Consequently, she didn’t judge them too harshly.

Giles regarded the Tribe Chief with astonishment.

In the past, the Tribe Chief would have been overjoyed upon hearing that visitors hailed from the Thunder Fire Tribe.

They had maintained peace with that tribe.

Had the Tribe Chief truly moved beyond her previous mindset?

“Tribe Chief, they wish to speak with you.”
