Chapter 171: 171 – Something Small that Kills Many (3)

"And did you think I would just believe it?" Brown tilted his head.

"Look." I pointed to the houses of my colonists. "This place is nothing compared to yours. If I were to be mean, you would definitely take revenge, and my people would lose. I've seen your people at the Redtooth festival. There are plenty of them."

"They are only a third of my tribe's population." Brown shrugged, then crouched down and looked up at me. "But, you have a point. It would be foolish for you to mess with my tribe."

"This means I'm really desperate...."

"And I could have forced you guys to talk about the opium now."

My chest felt like it was about to explode with anger and anxiety. However, I tried to speak in my usual tone, "If I do, I will guarantee that you will not gain knowledge of it."

"Well, I'm not like that. I won't bully other weaker tribes. I'm not evil."

Really? Encouraging your people to harass and bully other members isn't evil either?
