263: Chapter 263 A Troublesome Character

Everyone remained silent.

No one had expected Lin Heng to be so arrogant as to shoot one of their chieftains dead on the spot...

That was a Great Chieftain!

However, what was even more shocking was that in the face of such a provocative act, their General Max showed no reaction at all!

This attitude of turning a blind eye...

was truly chilling!

Many people were indignant!

After all, they, the chieftains of North Africa, had followed General Max and obeyed his orders to come here.

They never expected that when one of their own was killed, this fellow would remain indifferent!

"General Max..."

"Sit down first!"

A chieftain from North Africa had just started to speak when he was immediately shouted down.

At these words, the numerous chieftains looked even more indignant.

But they dared not speak out in anger.

Now, the main decision-maker here was not them. With a great enemy present, they preferred to wait and see what Chieftain Sam from South Africa had to say.

And at this moment, the chieftains of North Africa could only swallow their anger and sit down.

Lin Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, his heart stirring.

He hadn't expected that General Max actually had some sense, knowing that confronting them here would clearly put him at a disadvantage. Thus, he gave up resistance from the start and adopted a soft policy.

He was a cunning caretaker.

If the other party had made a move just now, Lin Heng probably wouldn't have just casually shot him once.

It was likely that everyone here would have been thoroughly purged.

At this time, the one most terrified was Chieftain Sam.

He had risen from being a minor tribal chieftain to his current position, treading on thin ice every step of the way, yet Lin Heng's shadow was present throughout this journey.

For example, just now...

If Lin Heng hadn't suddenly fired a shot, they probably would have fallen into a disadvantage by now.

Looking at the current scene, it seemed that their side had won the victory in that brief confrontation.

Thus... he breathed a long sigh of relief internally.

However, Chieftain Sam also knew that what came next would be far from this easy.

Hoo...

Su Xueer and the others quietly let out a breath.

They had been so nervous their palms were nearly sweating; it was a relief to finally relax.

If a firefight had broken out here... they couldn't bear to think about it!

Just as everyone sat down with their own thoughts racing, General Max began to hatch his own wicked schemes.

He turned his head, not looking at Lin Heng, but instead looking towards Chieftain Sam.

General Max knew that this person before him was their only breakthrough point...

As for Lin Heng... that person from the Dragon Country... he was a tough bone to chew!

If he wanted to win this war without smoke, he had to eliminate this fellow first.

"Hmph! Chieftain Sam, I have taken my seat as well, but is this how you treat your guests?"

"Shooting one of our chieftains? Are you trying to intimidate us!?"

General Max's voice was filled with authority.

Like a dictator.

If it had been chieftains from other tribes, they probably would have felt their legs go weak upon hearing that voice.

Even so, Chieftain Sam felt his mouth go dry, clearly extremely nervous.

He was just about to speak and concede the point...

But he was quickly replaced by Lin Heng!

"Heh heh... An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This is clearly the iron rule of the African savanna. Did we do anything wrong?"

Lin Heng said bluntly.

Tsk!

At these words, everyone looked over.

They turned their gaze back to Lin Heng.

General Max then noticed that the true decision-maker here was actually this young man before him...

He frowned slightly.

Things were a bit complicated.

However, General Max was long accustomed to verbal sparring and was familiar with such tactics.

He chuckled, his gaze returning to Chieftain Sam.

"Chieftain Sam, since when did your South Africa become slaves to people from the Dragon Country?"

"I see that South Africa no longer seems to be in charge of its own affairs..."

"Are you perhaps going to violate the African Peace Treaty?"

General Max spoke without reservation.

The African Peace Treaty. It said everything, except the word 'peace'.

But one thing was certain: if anyone's regime fell into the hands of others, the others could collectively attack...

Even their own internal factions could directly split apart...

The Pretty Country was even very willing to provide weapons and ammunition for this.

Clearly, they intended to act as the bookmaker.

In any case, as long as the people here fought each other to the death, the ones who would always win in the end were the bookmakers.

At this moment, upon hearing those words, Chieftain Sam also considered this point, his expression becoming extremely grim.

However, he did not express his opinion immediately, but turned to look at his strategist.

Lin Heng!

Chieftain Sam was confident that only Lin Heng could skillfully dodge this topic at this moment.

He quickly spoke politely.

"I advise you to be more respectful towards my strategist. Our South Africa is not a soft persimmon either. I think it is perfectly reasonable to let my strategist answer our political questions."

When these words came out, General Max and his entourage were instantly stunned.

Hiss...!

They all sucked in a cold breath.

When did the decisive and ruthless Chieftain Sam, who controlled all of South Africa's resources, choose to let an outsider meddle in his foundation?

Moreover, allowing this fellow, who was clearly from the Dragon Country, to speak in such a serious setting...

Had he gone mad!?

Many people found it incredible.

Even General Max's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Clearly, he hadn't expected this.

But...

He had already received news beforehand that Chieftain Sam of South Africa had risen to power step by step precisely because he gained the support of a person from the Dragon Country.

He must have thought it was a merchant from the Dragon Country or someone from the Longan Bureau trying to secretly gain benefits in Africa.

Yet, he never imagined it would be this young man right before his eyes...

He quickly narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully scrutinized Lin Heng.

Tsk!

A troublesome character.

But it wasn't that there was absolutely no way!

He quickly formulated his strategy.

"Heh heh... So, this is the attitude of your Sam Tribe?"

"Chieftain Sam, I was giving you some face because you are the ruler of the South Africa region, practically half the master of Africa. I didn't expect you to be so tactless!"

"It's fine if you disregard my face, but your person killed one of our North African chieftains... This matter cannot just be dropped!"
