    By then, the other team members were returning in session.

    No sooner had theye back than they sensed that the present situation wasn''t quite right. Hostility


    hung thick in the air.


    They all started whispering among themselves.


    In the end, Hawkeye, who had been there from the very beginning, narrated the entire turn of events to


    them.


    After learning the truth, they were in no hurry to hand in their spiritual water. Instead, they watched and


    waited.


    They were all looking forward to knowing whether Megahead would continue being Decanus that day


    or the neer would end up recing him as Decanus.


    Closing the box of food, Megahead queried cidly, “Why are you declining my reward?”


    “I don''t need it. If I want to have meat, I''ll exchange it myself with spiritual water,” Zeke replied.


    “You don''t have the right to trade for meat. Only a Decanus has the right to seek out the Chieftain and


    exchange for meat,” Megahead countered.


    “If my memory serves, the sum of spiritual water I turned in has hit twenty drops. ording to the rules,


    shouldn''t I be recing you as Decanus?” Zeke asserted.


    Verily, his words were shocking to the core.


    The instant his statement rang out, the gunfire zed even hotter.


    Everyone''s hearts lodged in their throats.


    They wondered about the kind of battle that would break out between a tyrant who had ruled over the


    territory for years and a warrior who was new to the ce.


    Snickering, Megahead stared straight into Zeke''s eyes. “Are you sure you want to be a Decanus?”


    Zeke nodded. “Yes, I''m sure.”


    Following that, Megahead sighed. “I''m just afraid that you''re not capable of upying this position.”


    “Why?” Zeke questioned.


    Megahead started, “Being a Decanus is not as incredible as you see on the surface. When ites to


    the higher-ups, I need to maintain a good rtionship with the Chieftain, lest he target my team


    members. Externally, I''ve got to bnce the forces of other Contubernia, lest any one Contubernium is


    overly strong and hurts my team members. And internally, I must have every team member submit to


    me willingly. Can you do all this?”


    “Of course.”


    Megahead guffawed. “Admittedly, you fulfill thest requirement since your rtionship with the other


    team members is indeed chummy. You''ve only arrived a while ago, but you''ve won two people over.


    Let''s talk about the second requirement. You don''t even know where the Chieftain is. How can you


    maintain a good rtionship with him? Then, there are the forces of other Contubernia. Are you aware


    of their true capabilities? And how are you going to bnce things? In my opinion, you''re only good on


    paper. Trust me when I say you''re not suited to be a Decanus.”


    At the end of his patience, Zeke smacked the man on the back of the head. “How long-winded! Since I


    want to be a Decanus, I naturally have that capability. You''ve got no right to criticize me


    endlessly.”


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Whoa! He''s really domineering. Megahead was merely advising him, but he sent the man flying with a


    strike. How reckless, resolute, and... foolish!


    All of a sudden, regret welled within Minerva and Murphy.


    Master is even more impulsive and upfront than Megahead. Someone bad atmunicating won''t be


    able to live long on Theos Ind. Was it the right choice to follow him?


    Of course, Megahead was the most furious of them all.


    Usually, he was high and mighty before his team members, enjoying a position as lofty as a king.


    Right then, however, the venerable king was sent flying in front of his subordinates. That was a great


    humiliation.


    Even if I were to kill him right here and now, my prestige before them would be diminished substantially.


    I worked hard to nurture my reputation over the years, yet it''s now all ruined. He has gone too far!


    He instantly went off the deep end.


    “Just you wait, Zeke! Just wait and see! I''m never letting this go, never! If I don''t take your life within


    seven days, I won''t be called Megahead henceforth!”


    Zeke shot him a murderous re.


    At once, Megahead shuddered in fear.


    As he met the man''s gaze, he felt as though he was facing off a starving cheetah. Intense fear rose


    within him.
