Percy believed he had presented a compelling case.

Confidently, he anticipated Xuelai’s agreement. He knew that appealing to her kindness would likely result in success, especially considering the previous instances where she had relented.

As he had predicted, Adams’ pride prevented him from making such a request. Percy, considering himself the most suitable messenger, stepped forward.

“And Adams will undoubtedly carry gratitude in his heart for your generosity,” Percy added as a final touch.

Gu Chaoyan glanced up at Percy.

He exuded confidence and pride, qualities that perplexed her.

It was challenging for her to comprehend such a person.

There was a saying: “A grain of rice nourishes kindness, and two grains of rice nourish hatred.”

While she had already done the Thunder Fire Clan a favor by agreeing to travel with them, she now felt that their demands were becoming insatiable. A few blankets had morphed into a request for dozens, and she sensed that it might not end there.

Generosity, she realized, could complicate matters.

She wasn’t naive.

The Five Elements Clan could be kind, but being overly generous in this world, which had yet to be civilized, could lead to exploitation.

“Are you suggesting that the Five Elements Clan should provide half of their blankets to the Thunder Fire Clan?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.

In essence, that was precisely Percy’s proposition. While it might sound peculiar coming from the Tribe Chief, Percy nodded confidently, believing she would agree.

Gu Chaoyan’s smile carried a hint of mockery. “And in return, can the Thunder Fire Clan offer corresponding benefits?”

“This… I can’t promise that, but the Thunder Fire Clan will surely be grateful,” Percy insisted.

Gu Chaoyan’s smile widened.

Her smile seemed to convey that she found something immensely amusing.

“The people of the Thunder Fire Clan must be excellent dreamers. I, as the leader of the Five Elements Clan, have no need for the gratitude of the Thunder Fire Clan. Sorcerers reside in the Five Elements Clan, and your attempts to please them are clear. I have already shown you some consideration, and now you want the resources of the Five Elements Clan? Go and ask the hundreds of members in the Five Elements Clan if they would agree. If they do, I won’t object,” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile.

The Second Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan hadn’t anticipated such a response from Gu Chaoyan.

Their initial motivation was indeed the presence of the sorcerer.

However…

She…

What…

Gu Chaoyan continued, “No need for unnecessary discussions. Your name is Percy, right? Remember, if I, Xuelai, or any member of the Five Elements Clan finds your Thunder Fire Clan dissatisfactory, I can casually, indifferently chase you away.”

“Understand, and don’t overstep your bounds!” Gu Chaoyan’s frustration was evident.

Percy was taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated this outcome.

Assuming she had become more agreeable, Percy believed she would readily accept.

Unexpectedly, she warned against pushing their luck and even hinted at expulsion.

What on earth…

Gu Chaoyan dismissed the notion of needing the gratitude of the Thunder Fire Clan.

Before Percy could respond, Gu Chaoyan summoned Gary, saying, “Gary, come here, I need you to come with me.”

Gary quickly approached.

“Tribe Chief, what’s the matter?” he asked with concern, shooting a glare at Percy from the Thunder Fire Clan.
