516 Brewing Tension

Taya's expression became glazed as she tried to remember hard and said, "No..I don't think they ever mentioned it, even though I tried to get some details."

"Umi, do you have any idea what kind of creature can lay such an egg?" Viktor asked as he held this warm golden egg.

Umilia sighed as she shook her head, "During my time in the Naraka Realm, I only came upon evil things, and something that was born from such pure, beautiful flames can't be of dark origins. So even I have no idea, but maybe Nyissa might know or Talia? They are more connected to the odic world than I ever was."

Umilia then added as her chin rested on her finger, "But the main question here is, what will Chief Tamo say? Won't he think that this egg belongs to his people since you got it from this cave?"

"Oh…that might be a problem…" Viktor mumbled as he didn't feel like parting away with this golden egg. For some reason, he felt drawn to it, and the warmth the egg was giving him made him feel a soothing sensation.

"But Viktor was the one who found it. No…it was more like the egg manifested out of just flames upon his touch. It's like this cave, no…probably that legendary creature that chose to give him this egg," Taya said with certain confidence since she felt that this egg should belong to Viktor, but at the same time, she also understood that the natives here had a natural claim over anything in this island. She felt a great dilemma thinking about this.

"I also feel it might be like that, but…that legendary creature isn't here to tell the people of this island that it chose Viktor to carry its egg," Umilia said with a subtle head shake.

"It's fine. I will let Chief Tamo decide. Anyway, we wouldn't have found this egg if not for them trusting and allowing us to enter here, and as Umi said, these people are a part of this island. They treated us well despite coming unannounced, so it won't look good if we take something from their island behind their backs," Viktor said as he opened Taya's backpack and safely tucked in the golden egg.

"Yea…you are right," Taya nodded, feeling that he was right, and smiled as she gave him a strange look.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Viktor asked with a chuckle.

"Nothing…It's just that nobody would think of you as an honorable gentleman, considering how you always act around us," Taya said with a playful pinch to his waist.

Viktor grabbed her wrist and hugged both beauties as he said, "An honorable gentleman? Maybe to others but with beautiful women like you two, being the big bad wolf is more effective."

"Ahn!~"

"Viktor!~"

Both of them shrieked as Viktor tickled them in a way that made their faces rosy.

*Rnnnnnnnn*

But suddenly, all three had their expressions frozen upon feeling the earth underneath them subtly vibrate.

"What was that? An earthquake is coming? It can't be…" Taya asked with a puzzled look as she looked around.

"Not an earthquake…It seems there is some kind of trouble going on here," Viktor said as his eyes turned crimson.

"It's strange…My odic force feels…weaker here," Umilia mumbled with a confused look as she tried to use her odic force to investigate what just happened. She wondered if this was why Nyissa warned her about this island.

"Let's go down," Viktor said with narrowed eyes as the two followed.

On the eastern side, on a large plain field in the midst of the forest, there was a large gathering of people. But upon closer look, anybody can spot two distinct groups facing each other, with Chief Tamo standing in front of one side and a tall, muscular man looking in his early thirties standing in the front of the other group.

Behind Chief Tamo, there were 30 people, and behind the man standing on the other side, there were fifty.

Viktor, Taya, and Umilia saw this large gathering just as they reached here and could sense the heavy tension in the air.

But what surprised them was the angry and stern look on Chief Tamo's face as he looked at the other man.

"Yavet, I won't give you any more chances. You better drop all this stupidity and return to me, your father, or suffer divine punishment and mine as well!" Chief Tamo said as his voice boomed across the entire place, making Viktor feel sure that this old man was no ordinary dude.

But he didn't expect the man standing on the other side with a disgruntled look to be his son. Why did it seem like these two were on bad terms? Was this why Tamo didn't look good when he mentioned his son before?

Viktor was surprised to realize this, and it seemed like some family feud was going on, and that too right near the sacred mountain. Viktor felt this was also the reason Chief Tamo seemed so pissed.

"You are the one who has to stop standing in my way, father!" Yavet said with a dark look as he continued, "As your eldest and your only son, I possess the right to inherit our sacred arts, not her! And it is high time we moved out of this cage and let the world realize our might. You have let our old rules and traditions shackle our people to this island long enough. We won't endure it anymore."

Chief Tamo's eyes shook as he looked at his son, "I have always told you this…You are free to leave our ancestral land if you wish it so much. I have never forcibly tried to keep you here. You can even bring away those traitors behind you as well," Upon mentioning the word 'traitors', the men and women standing behind Yavet lowered their heads or averted their gazes as if they couldn't bring themselves to look at his eyes.

"But…if you or any of your followers try to sully the resting place of our progenitor or try to steal anything from here, I will cut them down even if it means I have to cut out a piece of my own heart," Chief Tamo said, his tone carrying his pain and disappointment.
