"Chief?!" Some of the lizardfolk in the crowd called out to their leader, but Jarek responded with silence.
Jarek's position, standing behind Nikos, raised questions among the tribe memberr.
"Why is Chief Jarek standing behind that human?"
Meanwhile, Nikos' mind was busy observing every lizardfolk in front of him.
Not far from Nikos' group, Thalek and a lizard woman stood silently at the back. Their presence was currently overshadowed by the return of the tribe's chief, Jarek.
Raka, seeing Nikos examining the tribe, bowed his head to him, attempting to explain.
"You must be angry about what we did earlier, but please don't harm our tribe. We tried to ambush you because we were desperate to have our chief back when we found him."
At Raka's explanation, Nikos only gave a brief glance at the lizard.
Meanwhile, the crowd's reaction was different when they heard Raka say that the human wanted to harm their tribe.
