Ah Nuo accepted the apology. He did not care. His heart was filled with the flames of revenge. For revenge, he could abandon everything.
The opportunity for revenge was right in front of him. Why would he care about anything else?
So Ah Nuo shook his head and said, "I know what everyone is thinking. I also know our disadvantage. But even so, I believe that hatred can give us endless power. Let us completely take care of those bastards. For my father, for all our people who were killed!"
Ah Nuo's determination infected these people. They all nodded, indicating that they would fight to the death.
"You really didn't hide those things? Ah Nuo! If you did, hand them over now. We won't make things difficult for you. We'll even leave some for you to use. This is our compensation to your father. "
The tribal elder suddenly stood up, interrupting the blood-boiling mobilization.
Including Ah Nuo, the rest of the tribal elder's trusted aides looked at the tribal elder in surprise.
"I … I didn't take anything. I didn't get anything!"
For a moment, Ah Nuo did not know how to explain.
The middle-aged man stood up to defend Ah Nuo.
"Ah Nuo shouldn't be lying to us. Big Leader, we watched him grow up. In his heart, there is only vengeance for his father. This child's heart is filled with pain. Other than vengeance, he has even rejected the pursuit of many girls. With his heart set on vengeance, he would never lie to us."
The rest of the trusted aides also nodded, vouching for Ah Nuo.
However, in the eyes of the tribal elder, all this was a sign of extreme danger.
He was a hero. He had been a hero. He had bravely fought against the Spaniards. He had stubbornly resisted, and was unyielding.
Even if his tribe was completely destroyed, he would choose another place to rebuild his tribe. He would grow stronger bit by bit, fighting against the Spaniards and the traitors. No matter how many times he was betrayed, he would never lose the will to fight.
But he was old and had been betrayed many times. He no longer trusted others. He stubbornly believed that the best outcome was for him to hold the real power and lead the people to expel the Spaniards. No one else could replace him.
The middle-aged man's words made him suspicious. He remembered the second time he was betrayed, he had failed miserably and almost lost his life because he did not listen to the advice of the people around him.
He could not allow himself to be betrayed again and again. He could only believe in himself. He let his thoughts wander and came to a rather absurd conclusion.
In addition, Ah Nuo's declaration had made the blood of his trusted aides boil. They seemed to want to replace him as the new leader. This made the tribal elder feel very insecure.
The older he got, the more insecure he felt.
He was suspicious, he was confused, he was panicked, and he was afraid.
He was a hero. He was.
"Ah Nuo, hand it over. I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you hand it over, I'll believe you. I'll even let you be the vanguard. Your father died for us. I won't forget what he did."
He was convinced that Anor had deceived him, had disobeyed him, and was plotting to take his place. He could not forgive a traitor, and he hated traitors and Spaniards more than anything.
Even though he didn't have any concrete evidence, a superior didn't need any concrete evidence to suspect his subordinates. As long as he was suspicious, worried, and suspicious, he could kill.
Of the matter. Ah. Nuof Nuo had not, but how the innocent, how would of Nuo Nuo. He had not taken anything. How could he take it out?
It did not matter. As long as the old man believed him and got rid of him, the old man could rest easy. As for whether he was right or wrong, it did not matter. His boss would not make a mistake.
But the old man's trusted aides could not stand it anymore. They had basically believed that Ah Nuo was not lying. Why was the old man so sure that Ah Nuo was lying?
"Big Leader, Ah Nuo would not lie. He is a good boy!"
"Yes, Big Leader. We watched him grow up. He would not lie to us. He only wants revenge."
"Yes, Big Leader. How could he take out something he did not have?"
Unlike the old man, his trusted aides were much more clear-headed. They did not think that Ah Nuo was lying.
But as long as the old man did not believe them, it was useless. Their explanations and arguments would only make the old man believe that Ah Nuo was a dangerous person. Not only did he want to betray him, but he also wanted the people around him to betray him!
The situation was dangerous. If it continued …
The old man looked around him discreetly. He used his rich experience in anti-betrayal to judge his situation. He knew that he was in danger because he had no help. Everyone here could kill the old man, especially the young and strong Ah Nuo.
So he had to plan carefully. These people could not be trusted. He could only find others.
So the old man pretended to be relieved.
"Okay, okay. I was just testing you. Now it seems that you are not lying. Ah Nuo, don't blame me. I was worried. We are going to war soon. We are going to fight to the death with our enemies. You have to be ready to avenge your father!"
Ah Nuo's heart was only for revenge. He did not put up any guard against this strange thing. Feeling that the matter had been resolved, he was relieved. He nodded solemnly.
"I will personally cut off the head of the leader of Sang Nan as a sacrifice to my father!"
Ah Nuo quietly held the knife in his hand.
The others looked at Ah Nuo with great emotion. Only the old man took a step or two back.
It was true that Ah Nuo's knife could cut the enemy, but could it not cut me? The knife did not have a life. How could he know who it would not cut? What if Ah Nuo …
After everyone had left, the old man walked back to his seat and sat down. He looked at the gradually disappearing figure with cold eyes. His turbid eyes shone with a fierce light that should not have belonged to them.
Enemies could be used, but traitors could not be left alive. This was the rule of many leaders. And now, it would appear here again. In this place where fate intersected, where everything could not be decided.
Because of this, the old man felt that he had to get rid of all the traitors. Otherwise, nothing could be saved. Nothing could be changed. He firmly believed that only under his leadership could they achieve such success. He would not allow his forty years of hard work to go to someone else in the end.
Apart from the goal of revenge, he also fell in love with power. He loved it obsessively.
