As Adams stepped out, he too caught the alluring scent of meat in the air. His immediate reaction as the Tribe Chief of his clan was to reprimand.
Gary, however, remained unperturbed upon hearing Adams' comment. He harbored no animosity toward Adams and recognized that, as long as Adams didn't conspire against their Tribe Chief, there was no issue.
In this world, there existed a multitude of clans and various types of Tribe Chiefs. Most were primarily self-interested, with the welfare of their clansmen often taking a back seat. Adams, on the other hand, exhibited behavior that demonstrated his consideration for his clan, even if it involved scheming against their Tribe Chief or other actions.
His critique about the meat was simply an extension of his nature. He was equally strict with himself, all in the pursuit of securing the greatest benefits for his clansmen.
