If Chieftain Mauve accepted the offer, she would be hindering the progress of the tribe. The Wildscale Tribe would remain as is, no long capable of becoming stronger in the near future. After all, the very foundation was no longer there. As a matter of fact, they had a high chance of declining.
The red leaf was very important to the tribe. It held the core and very foundation of the tribe.
After some hours of considering things, Chieftain Mauve sighed and spoke up, "Young Master Fliv, we are very grateful for your offer. But I cannot gamble my tribe's future. The treasure is a vital part of us, and it shouldn't be gone. So I have to decline your generous offer."
Hearing the refusal, Young Master Fliv was stumped. He didn't expect that even after that offer, Chieftain Mauve was still unmoving.
