Chapter 581 - Influence

Emerald Tribe was a polygamous society. A man could marry four wives, and the patriarch could marry more than four.

The old patriarch had only married four wives, but he had taken in many women who didn't marry him. A son was important at that time. Those who were pregnant had verified the saying that a mother's honor increased as her son's position rose. During the old patriarch's reign, many babies died in the wombs. Only a few survived.

When the current patriarch, Pablo, was born, he was in poor health. Many people thought that he couldn't make it through his childhood. However, after he had been treated by the medical doctor for ten years, not only was he cured, but he also had a body that was immune to poison.

Although he just started his reign, many people in the tribe offered to help him choose a wife. A patriarch should have a wife with cultural and military strategies. Pablo looked at the finger pointing at him by the Goddess and thought of it.

Certainly, he wouldn't dare to touch Kason's woman. He only asked casually because he didn't quite understand why this girl could influence him.

What was that influence? He felt doubtful and curious.

The Goddess had already turned around and was about to leave.

"Do you like her? Can I let her play with you?" Pablo asked.

The Goddess turned around, her eyes wide open, without blinking or making any gestures.

Pablo knew that she had refused, so he did not say anything else. He turned around and looked at Emily who was hiding behind Kason. "Do you want to be my wife?" he asked.

The attendant was shocked.

So was the eagle in the sky.

So was Kason, who was in the wheelchair.

So was Emily.

"I was joking." Pablo bent his index finger and put it between his lips, whistling. The eagle in the sky suddenly swooped down. He continued, "Our Goddess doesn't have any playmates. If you have time in the future, you can come and play with her."

Emily held the apple in her hand and nodded.

"Now, I will send you back." Pablo gestured in the direction of the door.

It was only then that Emily believed Kason did not lie to her. He found someone to send her back, but she did not dare to believe this person.

Pablo saw her hesitant look.

Pablo touched his own face and asked, "Every time I go out, there are so many women throwing themselves at me because of my handsome face. You can't undermine my confidence. Do I look like a bad person?"

Emily did not know if she should tell the truth, but her silence was equivalent to informing everyone present that their patriarch did look like a bad person.

"Kason, you have to come with me." Pablo caught the eagle that was swooping down. He rubbed its head and fed it again. Then, he raised his arm and smiled innocently to Kason, "She doesn't believe in me. She only believes in you."

Seeing Pablo's smile, Emily instinctively hid behind Kason, nervously pulling Kason's sleeve.

"...."

Was he that scary when he laughed?

Clark and Tyson pushed the wheelchair. Emily walked beside the wheelchair, nibbling an apple. When they walked out of the yard, the road opened up and the sky became blue and clear as if it was washed by the sea. Clouds like marshmallows kept drifting by.

Pablo asked about Kason's injuries as usual. Clark and Tyson responded to his questions. Kason, who was sitting in the wheelchair, had an indifferent expression. The sunlight was a little dazzling. Clark said that he would go back to get an umbrella. Kason raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at him, "Don't bother."

Kason seemed to see through everything with a glance.

Clark felt his heart skipped a beat. He immediately lowered his head and continued pushing the wheelchair forward.

Clark and Tyson were selected by Kason in person, but all attendants were sent in by the Elders. No matter who Kason chose, they all spied on him.

Each of them carried the mission of the Elders, and they were willing to risk any danger to do their duty.

Those people were very eye-catching as they walked on the road.

Just turning a corner, they met Baron and his subordinates. Zack bowed from afar. Baron did not bow when Pablo was in front of him. Baron even smiled and said, "Last night, to catch a little rabbit, I accidentally sprained my ankle. Forgive me for not being able to bow today."

Pablo smiled, "It's fine."

Baron, Pablo's cousin, was a rough man. During the old patriarch's reign, his brothers helped a lot. But the brothers had just a few children and the women made trouble at that time. Only Baron was alive.

Pablo was two months older than Baron.

However, Baron always looked down upon Pablo. He thought Pablo was thin and white. He thought that as long as he won the war for the tribe, he would be crowned as the patriarch by the tribe. However, he was not. He came back with blood and glory, only to find the High Priest announcing that the patriarch was Pablo.

Pablo spent ten years looking for evidence to prove Kason's identity. From this point of view, Baron was not as resolute as him. However, Baron vaguely felt that Pablo was a villain. He was not upright when doing things. For ten years, few people knew he sneaked out several times to find evidence to save his elder brother.

Pablo's position as the tribe's patriarch was already in danger, but for the sake of Kason, he distracted his attention. It was no wonder that he almost died outside last year.

Although it was not Baron who did it himself, he wanted to see Pablo die. In this way, he was the only one left in the tribe to inherit the position.

Now, Pablo was not dead, and he also brought back one.

To be honest, Baron was not afraid of Pablo, but he feared Kason who had appeared out of nowhere.

Even though Kason had forgotten some things about the past because of the snake venom, the indifference and the aura of authority were still in his bones. Every time he talked to someone, his eyes and aura of authority made Baron very uncomfortable. Pablo did not give him this kind of pressure. A person who appeared out of nowhere and claimed to be the elder brother of the patriarch gave him pressure, which made him very uncomfortable.

He had been looking for an excuse to drive Kason out these days. He had thought that Kason snatching a woman from him last night would cause a stir, but now it seemed that it was not a problem for the Elders and the patriarch.

He needed a big event.

Baron's gaze was fixed on Emily who was walking behind the group, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Kason stole Baron's woman and played her to death...

Was this event enough?

Pablo had just taken over the reins not long ago. It was not suitable for the tribe to see blood. Not only did the tribe see blood, but the bloody scene was so terrible. The dead girl in the prime of her youth opened her beautiful eyes sadly...

Baron grinned, showing his wolf-like fangs, and looked frightening.

Emily, who was eating an apple, noticed this unfriendly gaze. She immediately hid behind Kason and secretly looked at Baron again, seeming not to believe her eyes. However, the bloodlust in the man's eyes was so obvious that everyone present could see it.

Emily was so scared that the apple in her hand fell to the ground. The apple in her mouth was swallowed along with her saliva. The apple choked her, which made her eyes red. She hid behind Kason's wheelchair. Because she was very close to him, she could smell his scent as she lowered her head.

It was strange that when she smelled this scent for the first time, she felt at ease. Emily subconsciously touched the ring on her chest.

She did not notice that the man in the wheelchair did likewise.

His index finger touched his chest imperceptibly, and his movement was quick as if he had gently straightened his clothes.
