Chapter 757: Chapter 475: The Revelation

For a moment, the scene that had just played out in the parking lot replayed itself at the entrance to the conference room.

And this time, the commotion was even bigger.

Some of the emotional chiefs and leaders had faces flushed red, already impatiently rolling up their sleeves and waving clenched fists in the air.

Their posturing made it seem like a brawl was about to break out at any second.

Governor Walker and his staff were instantly stunned.

They stood frozen in place, expressions of astonishment on their faces, completely unable to understand what was happening.

Just a moment ago, everything had been fine.

How had they started arguing so fiercely again in the blink of an eye?

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

Governor Walker and his staff wanted to step forward and mediate, but faced with such a chaotic scene, they had no idea where to even begin and could only stand by, worrying anxiously.

Although everyone knew that there was indeed historical animosity between the Indians and the Inuit.

But those grievances and conflicts were thousands of years old.

In this day and age.

Almost no one would voluntarily bring up those old, forgotten matters.

The two groups rarely clashed when they met.

The entire scene was a total mess, and no one could get the situation under control. They could only watch helplessly as the conflict escalated; an unavoidable boxing match seemed imminent.

At this moment, Feng Mountain felt like he was at the center of an absurd, farcical storm.

And he himself was the very focal point of this argument.

He was so embarrassed he wished the ground would swallow him whole, his toes unconsciously curling and digging into the floor.

’Looking at the situation, it seems I’m the only one who can possibly quell this argument.’

’Shit! If I had known, I wouldn’t have come.’

Feng Mountain cursed silently in his heart, but things had already come to this. He could only bite the bullet and step up.

He took a deep breath, walked between the two furiously arguing sides, raised his hand high, and shouted, "Everyone, stop arguing and listen to me!"

And what do you know, that shout actually worked.

The two sides, who moments ago had been like fighting cocks with flushed faces, refusing to back down, instantly fell silent upon hearing Feng Mountain’s shout.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Feng Mountain, who was standing in the middle.

The lingering excitement and anger in their eyes were now temporarily suppressed.

The scene instantly became dead silent.

Louise Chief had a tense expression, her eyes full of unease. She stared intently at Feng and asked urgently, "Feng, are you really going to abandon the Inuit to become the Spiritual Guide for the Indians?"

"I’m not abandoning..."

Feng Mountain blurted out subconsciously, his voice a little rushed.

After speaking, he came back to his senses, quickly turned to look at Chief Welta, and said hastily with an embarrassed expression, "No, wait. When did I ever agree to be a Spiritual Guide?"

"Master Khilla, you have long been the Spiritual Guide of the Indians!" Chief Welta’s lips curled up slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, as if he had expected this question. His gaze became even more pious as he continued, "From the moment the Wild Bull Tribe received the Sacred Totem, Tatanka, every member of the tribe has truly felt the spirits of our ancestors soothing their souls."

"I..."

Feng Mountain was at a loss for words, his throat feeling as if it were blocked by something. He was stunned and couldn’t get a single word out.

’That’s right, that American Bison skeleton.’

’I did indeed give the Wild Bull Tribe a slot for a Fire Totem.’

’At the time, it was purely because Chief Welta had given me a plane and helped me out.’

’As a thank you, I gave the Wild Bull Tribe a sense of belonging in their faith, something for them to place their spiritual hopes in.’

’But who could have imagined it would turn into this?’

’Not only did I not gain any advantage, but I somehow ended up getting roped into this and became some Spiritual Guide.’

’I feel so wronged.’

’But I don’t know who to complain to. Where can I even go to argue my case?’

Just then.

Kaktovik Chief Robert unhurriedly stepped out from the crowd.

He looked directly at Chief Welta, the corners of his mouth turning up in a cold, contemptuous sneer.

Then, he slowly began to speak.

"So what? Feng also bestowed a Sacred Bowhead Whale Totem upon the Inupiat people. The moment we received the totem, all of us Inupiat people heard the loving call of Mother Bowhead Whale."

Robert Chief’s voice was deep and powerful.

As if declaring to everyone.

That the Inupiat people also had their own glory and heritage, and were in no way inferior to the Indians.

After speaking, his eyes revealed his pride and arrogance as he made a show of defiance toward Chief Welta.

However.

After he finished speaking, the entire scene instantly fell into a strange atmosphere.

The people present.

Whether they were the various chiefs of the Indian Tribe or the leaders of the Inuit Tribe.

All those who knew Feng Mountain turned their gazes toward him in unison.

Each gaze was filled with such resentment it was as if they could turn into tangible ropes and bind Feng Mountain tightly.

Although no words were spoken, their eyes seemed to convey a shared sentiment.

’Look, other tribes get a Sacred Totem, so why doesn’t our own tribe have one?’

’We are all children who believe in the spirituality of all things.’

’How can you favor some over others like this?’

Feng Mountain felt a massive headache coming on, and he was incredibly annoyed.

He wished he could rush up and slap both Robert and Uerta across the face.

’Those two really know how to touch a raw nerve. Just looking for trouble!’

’Couldn’t they just enjoy their good fortune in secret?’

’Did they have to bring this out into the open?’

’Great. Now everyone’s pointing their spears at me.’

Facing these resentful Chieftain Leaders...
