Chapter 606 Orion's Bold Assertion

"After the graduation ceremony, as the individual with the highest points, I am allowed to ask for anything I want within the Village Chief's power. After careful deliberation, I am neither asking for more wealth nor for the Village Chief to put me in a position I do not deserve. All I am asking is for you to reward me by building a structure for healers and victims, which would heavily impact the Village positively," Orion added, "And yet, I have no idea why I am being refused."

Orion's words dumbfounded the village chief and the other key figures. They thought Orion would use his merits as leverage or find a way to convince them to hand over the structure, given that he and Fifi were the ones to come up with such an idea. n--Ovelb1n

However, they never expected that Orion would use such a method to make them hand the structure over to him.

Nonetheless, Orion's words had placed the Village Chief in a challenging position, leaving them on the sidelines with no chance to refute his words.

Immediately, their gazes turned towards the Village Chief's position, who was staring at Orion with a deep frown. "Are you sure you want this to be your reward?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at Orion.

Meanwhile, internally, he couldn't help but smile. 'Good... Good... Look at their faces. My instincts were not wrong from the beginning. He will make a good Village Chief,' he thought.

The only reason he had initially refused to accept Orion's request, was that, although his proposal was revolutionary, his demands were too irrational. Even an ordinary villager would doubt their ears several times, as they wouldn't have the courage to make such a request in the midst of the key figures.

They weren't blinded by wealth; they were the farm's Caretakers. They would be the last people to become poor or grow hungry in the Village. Instead, they were after the opportunity to be the Key figures who would mark their names in the Village's history by developing a structure that could positively impact the Village for several millennia to come.

And that was something they were aware that they couldn't barter for it with wealth.

However, as they gradually regained their composure, they suddenly realized there were other ways to go about this.

After all, they had already made up their minds to give Orion the highest-ranking position in the new structure since he was not only the one who presented the idea to them but would surely need someone to handle and take care of it—something none of them were capable of doing currently.

So, rather than selfishly wanting all the recognition, they realized they were better off being known as one of the Key figures who supported the construction of such a structure.

The Village Chieftess couldn't help but exhale deeply after listening to her husband's words. He was right. She raised her head and observed Orion, wondering if he was taking the bet they had made seriously without any hidden intentions.

Meanwhile, Caretaker Shani and Stronghold Zogar, who had remained, had smiles on their faces, nodding at the Village Chief's words. Neither of them cared about the immense recognition, as they were each satisfied with where they currently were.

However, Seth felt his body gradually losing its strength little by the second as he observed the scene unfolding before him.

With the way his father had defended and with the gaze of approval in his eyes as he looked at Orion, it wasn't hard for anyone with eyes to see that his father held Orion in such high regard that he might as well be considering him for the position of the next Village Chief.
