Chapter 674: Chaotic Brawl (1/2)
Inside the Chief Palace's Great Hall, Chief Valencia sat on her throne to accommodate the five tribal chiefs from Central Region after being forced to end her secluded training abruptly.
”Welcome to my Darkmoon Tribe, chiefs from Central Region. But what brings you all here today?” Chief Valencia greeted before asking, despite vaguely understanding the reason for their visit.
”And we thank you for welcoming us inside your tribe, Chief Valencia,” a female chief with braided hair said politely before stating, ”Chief Valencia should know why we've come.”
”Chief Silvermoon is too polite,” Chief Valencia smiled and said coolly, ”You have all shown the Darkmoon Tribe adequate respect. As such, it is only proper that we return the gesture in kindness—unlike the riffraff outside.”
”Well, I suppose you have all come to see this so-called Shaman King's Successor and the Divine Doctor,” Chief Valencia added shortly after.
”That's right!” Chief Silvermoon nodded before saying, ”Nevertheless, we would still like to hear the truth from Chief Valencia.”
”We don't trust the news spread by the Black Warbear Tribe, or rather, I don't trust their chief, Blackbear. That man is both cruel and insidious, whether it is to his own tribesmen or outsiders,” a male chief in thick fur cloak added.
”I see…” Chief Valencia uttered.
”I don't know whether Young Master Leonhardt is the Shaman King's Successor as people claim him to be, but I can assure you that your trip is not wasted if you can earn his favor—even if he is not the Shaman King's Successor.”
After Chief Valencia said that, the five chiefs glanced at her with suspicion before Chief Silvermoon uttered, ”What Chief Valencia means to say is that this Young Master Leonhardt…”
”That's right,” Chief Valencia nodded and openly admitted with a proud look, ”The so-called Shaman King's Successor and Divine Doctor are one and the same person. And he is a member of my Darkmoon Tribe.”
There was no reason for her to keep the secret from the five chiefs. The truth would eventually come to light.
”I don't know for what reason that the Chief Blackbear separated the two when he spread the news, but this is nothing more than a petty tactic,” Chief Valencia added with disdain and stated, ”A bit childish if you ask me.”
”I see…” Chief Silvermoon uttered with surprise.
It was a good thing that they paid the Darkmoon Tribe proper respect. Otherwise, they would have also been barred from entrée.
”Still, the people outside are all strong warriors from various tribes in Central Region. If the crowd outside continues to grow, I'm afraid that even the Darkmoon Tribe will not be able to hold them back once a fight breaks out,” Chief Silvermoon mentioned out of concern.
However, Chief Valencia waved her hand nonchalantly and said confidently, ”Chief Silvermoon does not need to worry about this. Unless those disrespectful groups brought the entirety of their tribes to wage an all-out war, my Darkmoon Tribe would still have a way to deal with them.”
Chief Valencia's confidence quickly caused Chief Silvermoon and the four other chiefs to knit their brows together with doubt.
Where did this confidence come from?

Meanwhile, the commotion outside the walls continued.
