Chapter 607 Seth’s Punishment

Chapter 607 Seth's Punishment

At that instant, after witnessing everything that had taken place throughout the meeting, Seth immediately gave up hope of competing with Orion for the next Village Chief position.

'It's no use,' Seth thought, shaking any useless thoughts of refusal out of his head. He had already attacked Orion once with the intent to harm him seriously, but thankfully, Fifi had been there to protect him from harm.

However, even with that, the fact that he, a three-star warrior, had attacked Orion, a one-star warrior, had still gotten him into very deep trouble that would take him several months to dig out of.

So, he quickly disillusioned himself from making rash decisions that would put him at risk of getting a much more severe punishment and losing everything he had worked hard to attain.

Seth had understood that his dream of becoming the next village chief would be difficult and stressful; however, he had never expected that even before the battle had begun, he had already lost to a young man with far more achievements and merits than his own.

"Is there anyone who wants to disagree with his request again?" The Village Chief asked, his gaze fixed on the key figures.

The key figures all shook their heads one by one in response. n.-0VelbIn

"I agree with his request. I'm sure that Orion would bring more ideas for us to implement in the future, so I don't see any reason not to grant this request," Caretaker Shani said, shaking her head in response.

"Hohoho, I also agree with his request. However, with the way things are, why don't we already make him the Rightward Stronghold Leader, so that he can develop something beneficial to the warriors, just like the Orion skies," Stronghold Leader Zogar said.

He decided to pitch his idea of making Orion the next Rightward Stronghold Leader because he understood that with how things were going with Orion, his opportunity to do so would only get smaller and smaller as time passed.

Orion proceeded to narrate the entire incident. Once he finished, the Village Chief nodded in understanding.

"I see," the Village Chief acknowledged with a thoughtful nod. He exhaled deeply and continued, "Before we even gathered here, Seth had already confessed everything to us."

The Village Chieftess nodded in agreement, her expression becoming tired.

"However, seeing as everything he said matches your own explanation, even though I am pleased he decided to handle this situation this way, I still believe he should understand better than to do what he did. As his punishment for attacking a one-star warrior with the intent to kill during a very important mission, you will be given the right to choose whichever punishment you desire for him," the Village Chief said, observing Orion as he furrowed his brows thoughtfully in response.

Seth's fists immediately tightened, but he didn't dare raise his head, his mind racing with uncertainty about the kind of punishment Orion might choose for him.

Meanwhile, Orion pondered thoughtfully about the kind of punishment he wanted to give Seth. Recognizing that Seth had not only attacked him but had done so with the intent to kill, Orion understood that this was the only chance he had to make Seth regret his actions until he became strong enough to retaliate on his own.

"Can I ask for his life?" Orion asked of the Village Chief. He saw no reason to wait until he became stronger and when he could promptly deal with the enemy.

A sudden silence fell over the room, catching everyone off guard, mainly as Orion directly addressed the Village Chief and Chieftess.

Seth's body tensed, and he took a deep breath to regain his composure.

The Village Chieftess felt a similar tension, narrowing her gaze on Orion.

Meanwhile, the Village Chief wore a wry smile.

"Given that he is my son, could you please refrain from asking for his life?" he requested, locking eyes with Orion and awaiting his answer.
