Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 273's. The Sacred Tiger Palace (2)
When everyone thought that Goodman would receive punishment from the Patriarch, Hu Fan instead waved his hand, replying, “I already know about this matter, we will discuss this matter ahead. Hu Lei, I have ordered all of you to gather here, and anyone who comes late will receive punishment."
But all those who heard their Patriarch's words, that it seemed Goodman would not be punished.
"Patriark, you ...!" Hu Lei looked at Hu Fan in disbelief, even he wondered if he had just misheard.
Hu Fan continued, "Considering the many contributions you have given to the Tiger Tribe, after this meeting, you will be imprisoned in the dungeon of the Toxic Dungeon for one year."
Everyone took a cold breath hearing their Patriarch's words.
The poisonous Dungeon was the Tiger Tribe's most fearsome prison. In it live various types of worms and poisonous insects. After being bitten by that poisonous insect, one would not die, but the pain was excruciating.
Hu Lei who heard Patriarch Hu Fan's words was shocked and furious, "Patriark, I object..!"
"Doubt?"
There was the sound of someone interrupting Hu Lei's words from outside the hall, then everyone saw a young human walking into the hall.
"Bad! Who allowed you to enter the hall of the Sacred Tiger palace !"
Seeing a human enter the hall, one of the Tiger Tribe experts shouted, but just as he was about to attack, the corner of his eyes looked at the direction of Patriarch Hu Fan, Hu Ting, and Goodman stood up respectfully and rushed to the young man, saying, "His Majesty the Ruler"
Everyone in the hall was stunned to see this scene.
Zhang En then walked to the Tiger Tribe's main seat and sat there....
At that moment, the experts of the Tiger Tribe realized that today, their Patriarch seat was reserved for this human, hence Patriarch Hu Fan from the beginning did not sit in the main seat.
After he sat down, Zhang En observed all the experts of the Tiger Tribe.
Without Zhang En's permission, Hu Fan did not dare to sit down. And when looking at their Patriarch who was still standing, the Tiger Tribe experts also did not dare to sit on their respective seats.
Finally, Zhang En's gaze turned to the Tiger Tribe's Great Elder, Hu Lei, saying, "I'm the one who killed your disciple."
Hu Lei looked at Hu Fan and then turned towards Goodman. Then he sneered staring back at Hu Fan, “So, this is what Patriarch means, Goodman helps a human to kill my disciple, but not only do you not punish him, the Patriarch even tries to imprison me! So, the Patriarch and Goodman had submitted to the human race...!"
Hu Lei turned his head towards all the gathered Tiger Tribe experts, “Everyone, you all have seen it with your own eyes, Hu Fan betrayed our Tiger Tribe, Hu Fan betrayed our Tiger Tribe, surrendering himself under the control of a human race, he is no longer qualified to be our Tiger Tribe Patriarch! I suggested removing Hu Fan from the Patriarch position, and giving Hu Fan, Goodman, and Hu Tong prison sentences for treason crimes!"
According to the law of the Tiger Tribe, if more than sixty percent of the tribe experts agreed, they could remove the Patriarch from his position.
As the Great Elder of the Tiger Tribe, Hi Lei had a great influence in the tribe after Hu Fan. He had many supporters among the tiger tribe experts which was also the main reason why he dared to be like that at the moment.
As expected, just after Hu Lei spoke, a Tiger Tribe expert, Hu Son, stepped forward, “That's right! Hu Fan, as the Patriarch of our Tiger Tribe, he humbled himself to the human race, this is a sin of betrayal to our Tiger Tribe, he deserves to die! He is not qualified to be our Tiger Tribe Patriarch, I suggest that Hu Fan be eliminated and let Hu Lei lead our tribe as the new Patriarch from now on!”
In all, there were twelve of them who agreed on that.
A proud feeling perched in Hu Lei's heart, he threw a look of provocation towards Hu Fan.
By having the voices of twelve experts, coupled with himself there were already thirteen voices including himself. If he had sixteen people by his side, it would surpass sixty percent of the conditions requested, he only needed three more votes.
The remaining experts exchanged glances among themselves.
Those remaining Tiger Tribe experts were loyal supporters of Hu Fan, yet, now that Hu Fan was allied with the human race, it greatly disappointed them. Not to mention the uncomfortable feeling in their hearts.
Because in their eyes, human status was at the bottom of the ladder, but their Patriarch actually served and had become a subordinate of humans today.
"Patriak, are you, really submissive to this human being?" An expert named Hu Xia who was always standing near Hu Fan asked.
"true." Hu Fan replied calmly.
Hu Xia was very disappointed to hear his reply.
“Hu Fan, then I'm sorry. I support Hu Lei as the new Patriarch of the Tiger Tribe! " Hu Xia expressed his support.
Inwardly, Hu Lei seemed to be in a somersault as he glanced at Hu Fan, now, he only needed two more people to support him, then he would legitimately become the new Patriarch of the Tiger Tribe.
“I also support Hu Lei.” The remaining experts also stated.
Only one more vote would Hu Lei be entitled to become the Patriarch of the Tiger Tribe.
The smile on Hu Lei's face started to bloom yet Hu Fan remained unperturbed by the situation and the smile on Hu Lei's face.
"I will also support Hu Lei....!" Another Tiger Tribe expert stated.
The smile on Hu Lei's face bloomed, turning into a warm laugh, “I thank you all! Rest assured, after taking the Patriarch position, I will strive to make our Tiger Tribe a tribe that occupies the first position among the beastmen races! " He proclaims his intentions with confidence and a face that looks radiant.
He then turned his head to look at Hu Fan with a laugh as well as a cold giggle, “I have sixteen people supporting me, meaning that I am now the new Patriarch! Hu Fan, you are completely subject to the humans who cooperated with Goodman to kill my disciple, your punishment is to be imprisoned in the Poisonous Dungeon for a hundred years....!"
Everyone had an unnatural expression on their faces hearing the punishment that Hu Lei had said.
One year of being inside a Poisonous Dungeon was already a nightmare for their lives, compared to the torture imprisoned there for a hundred years, so far death was a better choice.
Hu Lei wanted revenge against Hu Fan for wanting to imprison him in the Poisonous Dungeon for a year.
As for Zhang En who was watching them calmly sat in the main seat without interrupting a word the entire time.
