I'll Take Responsibility

Gregory wanted to reply 'you don't need to worry about me' but the blood was still churning in his throat. He couldn't even open his mouth. He didn't know what he was being so stubborn about, but he just didn't want Gu Mengmeng to see him puke blood.

Lea didn't insist but just continued. "To my knowledge, the rule is that the moment a bird tribe leaves the Motou mountain range, they can never return. Otherwise, all the other bird tribes would gather and attack them to wipe the slate clean. But now, Ian has no intention of returning to Motou. So you have no reason to attack him here. Am I right?"

Gregory knew very well that if he insisted on attacking Ian now, it would mean destroying all good relations with Gu Mengmeng.

Gu Mengmeng's stance was very clear. She would protect the eagle-owl tribe and Ian.
