    “I can’t change the situation now. We have no one to me but ourselves for our past arrogance. They now view us with the same disdain that we once held for them. Despite the Five Elements n’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 n and had merely exploited their resources. Regret gnawed at him, realizing that things could have unfolded differently.<div>


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


    Meanwhile, in the Five Elements n, 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 contemtions.


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


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


    After setting the food in ce, 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 n’s Tribe Chief has already disyed 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.<div>


    From Adams’ words, it was evident just how fond Xui 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 n.”


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


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


    “Everyone is content,” Gu Chaoyan dered.


    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.”<div>


    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.
