It was evident from the animal skin he wore.

In this yet-to-be-civilized world where clans operated like close-knit families, unity prevailed. However, there were still subtle class distinctions within the clan, although few and not markedly significant.

For instance, the Tribe Chief and a few clan leaders enjoyed better resources than others. While most men had only the lower half of their bodies wrapped in animal skin, some could afford an additional animal skin vest.

The man before Gu Chaoyan was among the few in the Thunder Fire Clan who could don a hide vest—other than Adams, it was a privilege few could claim.

This man’s eyes were clouded, not as clear as Adams’, and a malicious intent seemed to overflow from his expression.

Gu Chaoyan responded coldly, showing little respect to the Thunder Fire Clan member. “It’s not that harsh. The Five Elements Clan has abundant resources, so we can choose whatever we want to eat. It’s not like we’re unable to eat it.”

Upon hearing this, the Second Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan smiled.

He didn’t take offense; he understood that the Five Elements Clan had grown stronger, and the presence of a sorcerer heightened their influence. Gu Chaoyan’s actions suggested that her fundamental nature hadn’t changed; she was using her position to intimidate others.

“Yes, yes, you’re right,” the Second Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan concurred, trying to ease the tension.

Gu Chaoyan resumed her meal without further words.

The Second Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan felt a bit embarrassed. Eventually, he took a seat and said, “I am here because I have something to discuss with you.”

Gu Chaoyan shot him a skeptical glance.

Something to discuss?

They had already agreed on the arrangement for the two races traveling together. Now, he claimed to have something to discuss, and Gu Chaoyan harbored suspicions that it might not be entirely altruistic.

“Go ahead,” she said, setting down her empty bowl. The cold winter still lingered, and Gu Chaoyan hadn’t initially wanted to broach the topic due to the chilly weather. However, she was prepared to listen now that the Second Chief had raised the matter.

In truth, if it weren’t for Adams, Gu Chaoyan wouldn’t have felt the need to engage in a conversation with Percy. Nevertheless, as the two clans were journeying together, she decided to give them some consideration.

Seeing her attentive, Percy proceeded to express his thoughts.

“Well, here’s the thing. The blankets your Five Elements Clan provided today are only enough for a few of our oldest and unwell Thunder Fire Clan elders. The rest are left without blankets.”

“Winter has just passed, and while days are bearable, the nights are exceptionally cold. It’s not easy for the Thunder Fire Clan members to endure.”

“I’m thinking that the blankets from your Five Elements Clan are more than sufficient. If you’re willing to make a little more space, we could use dozens of additional blankets. This way, many in the Thunder Fire Clan can have a much more comfortable life.”

“Since you’re willing to share these blankets, it’s a testament to your kindness. I believe you won’t be hesitant with those additional dozens of blankets. The Thunder Fire Clan will be genuinely grateful,” Percy explained.
