Smiling slightly, he posed a question to gauge their readiness. "Grandpa, Uncle Begon, in your view, what would be necessary for our tribe to successfully annex an additional 20,000 tribesmen within the next six months?"
Before Barnett or Begon could respond, Reynolds, who had been quietly observing the discussion, interjected with a single word: "Food!"
Logan turned to his Uncle Reynolds, noting the transformation in him that his second uncle had often mentioned. Once arrogant and flamboyant, Reynolds had become unassuming and diligent, a stark contrast to his earlier self, yet still undeniably astute.
"If Uncle Reynolds sees food as crucial, what about you, Grandpa, Uncle Begon?" Logan asked, maintaining his amiable demeanor.
