Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2357 - 1781: Request to See the Clan Leader

Bai Xiaosheng had heard from the minibus driver that both the Kuer Clan and the Kurik Clan had embraced modern civilization, yet retained their valiant, battle-ready styles. They even continued to observe the coming-of-age ritual of participating in hunts in the primordial forests to temper their wildness. Both clans only adopted farming in the last two to three decades and after enjoying the benefits, became extremely passionate about the land, which this time led to a violent conflict over land irrigation.

Hearing the shouting outside, demanding they hand over some Huaxia people who supported the Kuers, Bai Xiaosheng glanced out the window to see the Kurik people surrounding them, and frowned. Those young men with faces painted in oils, holding spears, had a demeanor of defiance and fearlessness, their eyes menacing and resolute, with not the slightest hint of jest.

The minibus driver’s expression quickly changed to one of panic, and the five armed guards inside also tensed up.

The most troublesome to deal with were these tribal warriors, who were fearless even in the face of death, and if there was bloodshed, it would not end until one side was wiped out.

Strictly speaking, this wasn’t a major issue, one outsiders might not even comprehend; it was merely a question of attitude or inclination—was it really worth such escalation?

But to the two clans, who had recently engaged in armed conflicts resulting in bloodshed and casualties, their mutual animosity was at a boiling point, and a single word could ignite the flames of anger.

With such straightforward and direct thinking among the tribes, to support the other side was to be an enemy!

Even if not killed, they would certainly make the opponent suffer!

"Who has been spreading nonsense to them!" The minibus driver couldn’t help but mutter in panic, then forced a smile at the young leader outside the window, appeasing him, "My friend, everyone here firmly supports the Kurik people, and there’s absolutely no agreement with the Kuer people’s claims!"

However, these words were of no avail.

The leader of the Kurik people narrowed his eyes, saying in a deep voice, "We will ask clearly if there are supporters of the Kuer people among you. But if you don’t open the door and allow our inquiry, you must have a guilty conscience!"

The other side was determined not to let them pass.

The minibus driver’s face instantly turned sour.

Listening to the two of them jabbering in an incomprehensible language, the fierce-looking black warriors outside drew nearer, and the guards inside the minibus gripped their guns nervously, the unusual atmosphere making the Huaxia people traveling with them uneasy.

No one present understood the local language, so they all turned to look at Bai Xiaosheng, hoping he would translate the situation for them.

"Mr. Bai, what’s going on?"

"Why have we been stopped, and what do they want?"

"This atmosphere seems ominous! What’s happening?"

The crowd whispered anxiously, trying not to raise their voices.

"Let me handle it, everyone stay calm." Bai Xiaosheng told everyone.

Just then, Bai Xiaosheng heard the minibus driver asking the young leader outside, "My friend, who told you such rumors? I swear, there’s no one like that in our vehicle."

"It was a white woman; she told us so!"

"Now, open the door!" the man barked, raising his spear.

All around, the Kurik people stomped their feet in unison, striking the ground with the butt of their spears, and shouted in chorus, "Hoo-ha! Hoo-ha!"

It seemed as if they were ready to attack at any moment.

The minibus driver ducked his head in fear.

Bai Xiaosheng in the minibus instantly understood; it was the woman from the group with the white SUV, the one who could speak the local language, who had caused this mess!

They were truly ruthless!

They had directly dug a pit for them, setting a trap.

Seeing the atmosphere was tense and the situation arose because of him, Bai Xiaosheng naturally couldn’t ignore it.

He patted the driver’s shoulder, raised his voice at the young leader outside the window, "Can I talk to you, my friend?"

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng with black hair and yellow skin, the young leader’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Huaxia person!"

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng could speak their language, the leader pointed his spear at Bai Xiaosheng, "You, come down and talk!"

The minibus driver suddenly became somewhat nervous and whispered to Bai Xiaosheng, "Don’t go down! These guys act on whims without regard for anything, it will be dangerous for you!"

The soldiers on the bus also clamored, trying to stop Bai Xiaosheng.

The Huaxia people in the car, unable to understand what was happening, watched Bai Xiaosheng with concern.

Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but ask, "What’s happening, Sheng?"

Lei Ying, understanding a bit more, immediately said, "Are you going down? If you really must do it, I will go with you!"

"Why do you need to go down?" Lin Weiwei looked at those people outside the window and said urgently, "It’s dangerous!"

Bai Xiaosheng gestured reassuringly at everyone to calm them, then smiled at Weiwei, "There’s nothing to worry about, I’m just going to go down and solve this issue with them."

As he spoke, Bai Xiaosheng gave Lin Weiwei a reassuring smile and glance.

Then, Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Lei Ying, "You don’t need to come with me, it’s not like I’m going to fight them, just to talk."

Lei Ying nodded.

Bai Xiaosheng then used the local language to reassure the minibus driver and the guards, then directly opened the bus door and stepped out.

Using Red Lotus’s search function, Bai Xiaosheng had found descriptions of the Kurik people from the vast expanse of online information. They were combative and warlike, yet had a strong sense of honor, not resorting to mob assault on their opponent. Even if it came to violence, they would only send one person.

In a one-on-one duel, Bai Xiaosheng was naturally unafraid.

However, bringing Lei Ying along would change the nature of the event, making it different.
