Chapter 924: Offer (1/2)

The chief ran back into the mansion to go to the inner temple. Hou Yi's statue was there. He took a deep breath as he looked at the recording crystal in his hands. On one hand, he wanted to see this, but on the other hand, he has a bad feeling.

But after some thought, he decided to take a look at it anyway and when he saw the video, he was shocked.

It is the video of the Starbow family begging Hou Yi and the latter sneering and chiding them at their uselessness to kill Sam.

This is the video Sam took when the Starbow family head is begging and crying to his god after Sam retaliated in full scale.

He figured it would come in handy.

The Solar Fragment chief looked at Hou Yi's statue after the video. He felt extremely conflicted and anxious at the same time.

He didn't want to make the leap and ask Hou Yi for help. If he didn't ask, there is no chance for him to get any help and if he did ask and didn't get the answer he wants, he would be in deep trouble. If not for the fact that Sam didn't show the video, he would have directly asked.

Now there is also another thought that Sam is just messing with his head.

A lot of thoughts are killing his mind.

He doesn't know what to do and who to ask for help.

He just spent an hour in front of the statue thinking whether he should ask or not. He considered surrendering to Sam and then thought of the consequences of that surrender and then he thought of the large rocket and the damage it could cause.

He stood up after this and thought of asking the elders for help. He wanted to ask their suggestions.

But he didn't know that this is the mistake he made. He should have made the decision himself and as soon as he brought other voices in, it got all the more confused.

”Brother, you need to think of another way.  We cannot just surrender and there is a high chance that this is all a ploy from him. Let us try to ask the help from Hou Yi. He is our god and we did this because he asked this of us.

There is no way he would leave us in the lurch.”

The only lady in the meeting the younger sister of the head gave the advice.

But there is another voice which is even stronger.

”I think we need to validate all pros and cons. I suggest we call him for a meeting and discuss terms with him directly. I always told you, the gods are not trustworthy. In exchange for resources, we are sending half of our offspring to him. It is not a noble blessing. It is merely a trade.

Even though I don't like to surrender, it is a way better option than sending all our kids to that god.”

This is another brother of the chief.

The conversations were heated and the chief had to put a stop to it.

”We don't have to make a decision. There is no deadline. We can wait for a while and think this through and even if God doesn't help us, we can always negotiate the terms with him later.”

Another man who has an uncanny resemblance to the woman who first spoke told and with that the meeting is adjourned.

As they walked outside, the woman walked towards her twin brother who spoke the last and poked his hand before leaving.

The brother followed her and both of them ended up in her residence.

”I got something this morning.”

She said as he took out a scroll from her spatial ring and gave it to her brother.

He took the scroll and read it which made him feel shocked.

”When did you get this?”

”When that news about a man disappearing out of thin air circulated. To be precise a few minutes before that.”

”He personally gave this message? Are you going to follow through?”

”We are going to follow through.”

”Agar, you are not out of your mind are you? I thought you wanted to be the head of the tribe. Not destroy it.”

”I don't want to become the chief of this tribe. I don't want to destroy this tribe either.”

”Then what do you want?”
