Mud and Chuchan had just breathed a sigh of relief when Vivian suddenly said, "Well, let me ask in a different way. Do you think I could defeat Rein and become the new leader of The Curse of the Wild?" Mud trembled at the question, and Chuchan looked puzzled as he said, "What are you saying, Sis?"
After Vivian posed this question, the atmosphere in the room became heavy once again, as if every word was laden with meaning. Mud trembled all over, realizing that this question was not only a test of loyalty, but also a hint about the future. He was aware that any careless answer could put him in jeopardy.
Chuchan appeared somewhat bewildered, with a mix of confusion and surprise in his expression. "Big... Sis, this... this kind of thing..." His words were stuttered, clearly taken aback by this sudden weighty question. He dared not meet Vivian's eyes, filled with complex emotions.
Mud took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound more resolute. "Sis, your strength and skill are evident to all of us, but Rein is also very powerful. We... we are just small soldiers, not daring to speculate on the affairs of those above us." His words revealed a hint of caution, afraid of saying something wrong and causing Vivian's displeasure.
Vivian listened to the responses of the two people, her expression becoming difficult to read. She fell silent for a moment, then said lightly, "I was just asking, to see what you both think." Although her tone carried a hint of casualness, her eyes revealed a hidden ambition and plan for the future.
Mud and Chuchan exchanged a glance, each seeing a trace of worry and unease in the other's eyes. This question seemed to have planted an ominous premonition in their hearts. The power struggle within The Curse of the Wild might be even more complex and treacherous than they had imagined.
The question of Vivian echoed in the air, as if every word carried weight, pressing on the hearts of Mud and Chuchan. Mud felt an unprecedented pressure, not only from the aura emanating from Vivian, but also from the profound meaning hidden behind this question. In this moment, Mud was no longer just an ordinary member in The Curse of the Wild, but a decision-maker standing at the forefront of the storm.
Thoughts raced through Mud's mind, trying to find a suitable answer. He thought to himself, "Come on, Edward... use your skills as a former salesperson to speak diplomatically and think quickly!" His mind quickly reviewed his past experiences in the business world, interactions with various personalities, all becoming valuable resources at this moment. He knew that facing such a question, a direct answer might pose unnecessary risks, while an overly ambiguous answer might be seen as weak or evasive. So, he tried to find a middle ground that could express loyalty to Vivian without directly challenging Rein's authority.
Finally, Mud spoke, his voice more steady than usual. " Sis, you and Rein are both the strong ones in our hearts. Your talent in strategy and combat skills is admirable. Rein's strength is unquestionable. In our eyes, each of you has your own strengths, and it's not for us to easily judge who is stronger. We only know that following you makes us feel safe and guided." Mud's words were filled with wisdom and caution, not directly answering Vivian's question, but expressing his loyalty and respect for her.
Mud's response hung in the air, Vivian frowned, seemingly not entirely satisfied with his answer. This moment of silence weighed heavily on Mud more than any words could. He could sense a hint of displeasure in Vivian's eyes, a direct reflection of his uncertainty and hesitation in his response. Mud felt a pang in his heart, beginning to question his own choices, worried that his words might have touched on some sensitive nerve of Vivian.
His heart raced as he quickly searched for a strategy in his mind, wanting to find a way to turn the situation around. Mud knew that at this critical moment, any careless words could shake Vivian's trust in him, which he could not accept.
" Sis, I... I just want to say that in our hearts, your strength and wisdom are unparalleled. We have full confidence in your leadership, and believe that neither Rein nor anyone else can be your match." Mud tried to adjust his tone, speaking with determination and sincerity, hoping to convey his loyalty and trust to Vivian.
Vivian listened quietly, her expression gradually relaxing, but the sharp light in her eyes never disappeared. Mud still felt anxious, unsure if Vivian had fully accepted his explanation. At this moment, Mud felt an unprecedented pressure, realizing that in the group The Curse of the Wild, every word and action was crucial, and every sentence could determine his future.
At this point, Chuchan nervously said, "Elder sister, I have some opinions I'd like to share." Mud looked at the usually silly Chuchan, fearing he might say the wrong thing. However, Vivian seemed to be intrigued by him and nodded, indicating for him to speak. Mud nervously stared at him, hoping he wouldn't say the wrong thing.
Chuchan's voice was weak and tense, his words sounding particularly clear in the silent room. Mud turned his head, his eyes revealing concern and doubt. His impression of Chuchan as being foolish and silly on ordinary days ran deep, and he didn't know what unexpected words Chuchan would say this time. Vivian locked her gaze on Chuchan, her eyes carrying a hint of curiosity but more so scrutiny, as if testing Chuchan's courage and sincerity.
