NOVEL NEXT Chapter 531: Chief Bonen's Goal
After learning how powerful the organisations are from Chief Bonen's attitude toward him, Ethan thought of a plan…a plan to bring the Bonepiercer Tribe under him like a subordinate tribe.
That's right!
Even though the Bonepiercer Tribe had participated in the massacre of the Green Lotus Tribe and the Primal Fang Tribe, Ethan knew they were just following the Bloodclaw Tribe.
If the Bonepiercer Tribe and the Moonshadow Tribe didn't participate in the massacre of those two Hermit Tribes, it would have been them that got massacred.
Among the five original Hermit Tribes, the Bonepiercer Tribe and the Moonshadow Tribe are the weakest ones and have to do everything they can to survive.
Of course, that doesn't make the things they committed disappear, but in this world, finding someone pure enough not to commit a single crime is impossible.
Take Shadow Bee, for example, when he was a member of [Eternal Shadow Guild], he killed many cultivators, both innocent and evil.
Whereas Elias, even though he didn't kill anyone, handicapped many to get acknowledgement from his father.
So, as long as they are not pure evil, Ethan didn't want to judge them for their past actions and instead wanted to turn them into his subordinates.
[Mission Name: Master of the Bonepiercer Tribe]
[Objective: Make the Bonepiercer Tribe loyal to you]
[Reward: Information regarding the true purpose of Hermit Tribes and Secret Enclaves]
[Penalty: None]
[Time Limit: None]
'True Purpose of the Hermit Tribe and the Secret Enclave? Interesting.'
After reading the details of the newly generated system mission, Ethan felt he was doing the right thing.
That's right! When Ethan thought of taking the Bonepiercer Tribe as his subordinate tribe, he was worried whether he was making the right decision or not.
At the end of the day, no matter how many abilities Ethan has, the Bonepiercer Tribe was an entity that existed for hundreds of years, if not for thousands of years.
Taking such a powerful entity as a loyal subordinate was a double-edged sword.
Most importantly, he was not sure whether it was possible or not to make the tribe loyal to him.
'But, with this mission, I won't be giving up on it that easily.'
Even though he was planning to take the Bonepiercer Tribe, Ethan was not serious about it and was planning to give up easily if it didn't work out.
However, Ethan decided to try his best to achieve that.
Whenever Ethan was doing something that was good for him or helpful to him, but difficult to achieve, the system would generate the missions.
And taking the Bonepiercer Tribe, which had the strength close to a top sect, as his subordinate tribe, was a very difficult thing to do.
Therefore, Ethan knew that the system gave the mission to motivate him enough not to give up on his thoughts of making the Bonepiercer Tribe loyal to him.
'Even though there is no material reward, I am very curious about the existence of the real purpose of the Hermit Tribes and the Secret Enclaves.'
Another thing that motivated him was the reward he would get from completing the mission.
"You are really bold to say that to my face."
Chief Bonen was not angry, but also not happy either with Ethan's words. With a calm face, he asked, "What can you give us if we are willing to swear our allegiance to your organisation named Abyssal Blood Dragon Hall?"
"Chief…what are you saying?"
"How could we…the mighty Hermit Tribe become a subordinate for others?"
"That's right, Chief. Regarding this matter, I completely disagree."
.
.
.
Soon, all Ancient Elders, except for Elder Vorlen, opposed the idea of becoming a subordinate force to some organisation.
"Mighty Hermit Tribe? Who? We?"
Chief Bonen cast a disappointed look at the 10 Ancient Elders who readily opposed Ethan's proposal without asking for more details.
It was true that the Bonepiercer Tribe was mighty hundreds of years ago; however, as time passed by, it became harder for them to get their hands on the bones of high-level beasts required for their cultivation.
Thus, their downfall started, and eventually, they became the weakest Hermit Tribe among the five existing Hermit Tribes.
It was not the first time they received offers to become a subordinate force for organisations; however, back then, he was not a chief, and all the chiefs back then rejected it, saying that their tribe was mighty and powerful.
In the end, the tribe became even weaker as the price for all the high-level beasts' bones suddenly increased, making it even harder for the tribe to get them.
Thus, Chief Bonen swore to change the fate of his tribe and prove that the stubborn attitude of the previous tribe chiefs had caused the downfall of the Bonepiercer Tribe.
"Cultivators are supposed to change with time; otherwise, we will only become puppets in the hands of the powerful."
Chief Bonen scoffed at the Ancient Elders.
If any of the previous tribe chiefs accepted the offer when they were still powerful, despite becoming an organisation's subordinate force, they would still have enough power to gain respect from the organisation they joined.
But now, even if they were to join any of those organisations, they would get very few benefits, and their treatment would be that of slaves who had to do whatever they were asked to do.
However, since a newly created organisation is interested in them, Chief Bonen wanted to try to get as many benefits as possible before deciding whether it was worth joining the organisation or not.
'Huh? Chief Bonen is interested in becoming my subordinate?'
Witnessing the events in front of him, it was Ethan's turn to get shocked because he thought it was going to be very difficult to convince Chief Bonen to become a subordinate to his newly created imaginary organisation.
'Looks like it is going to be an easy mission.'
Ethan thought in his head and was about to say the benefits he could provide to the Bonepiercer Tribe if they joined him, when he heard Chief Bonen say, "Before you mention the benefits my tribe gets, you have to prove the strength of your organisation. Can you do it?"
At the same time, Chief Bonen's aura was directed at Ethan, trying to suppress him, to make sure Ethan spoke his next words more carefully.
'Was I happy too early?'
Ethan bitterly smiled as he understood why the system generated the mission.
