Chapter 907: Volume 29, Distant Sword Qi, - 1: Sky Wolf_2
The sinister and dark words barely left his lips when Callum Wolfe and Macbeth Dior were already so frightened that they were crawling on the ground, shaking uncontrollably, "Boss, we have no dissenting intent; we only wanted to secure for our brothers a bit of what rightfully belongs to us."
These words were an accusation to the heart, by heaven and earth, Callum and Macbeth never had such thoughts, nor did they deserve such an accusation. As the second-largest clan in the Beamon Kingdom, the Chief position of the Wolf Clan was not one that just anyone could sit in. When Carter Wolfe first took that position, he did so standing on the skeletons of three or four of his cousins, and similarly, the previous Chief of the Deer Clan fell to Carter’s Skywolf Gun out of a dispute over stands; and even now, every time Macbeth sees Carter’s Skywolf Gun, he feels a subconscious chill at the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Callum and Macbeth both kneeling on the ground, the other Wolf Clan senior members quickly followed suit and knelt, all except for one person, Fuerhaus, Carter’s most trusted man and Corps Commander of the Skywolf Cavalry. He clearly had not been involved in this matter and, though a little uneasy, he seemed to be keeping his composure.
"Really? Can I believe your words?" Carter knew full well that even with several doses of courage, these two men would not dare to harbor such thoughts. Callum, although brave and fierce, with some renown within the Wolf Clan, lacked the cunning, even less so than his third brother Callan, and had always been loyal to himself, as for Macbeth, he had been his ironclad ally whom Carter personally supported to ascend as Chief of the Deer Clan. However, this event greatly embarrassed him, especially in front of Christina, which was why Carter was so infuriated and ashamed.
"Boss, please see the truth of the matter."
"Do you even regard me anymore? Or the kingdom’s laws?" Carter struggled to control his emotions, his voice nearly bursting from between clenched teeth, "The law forbidding plundering outside has been published among all tribes, so why did you ignore it? Are you deliberately trying to make a fool of me in front of them, to make me look bad?"
