Jason didn't expect Brell and the former tribe chief to have a master-disciple relationship.
Thus, he couldn't help but stare at them even after the former tribe chief seated himself on Brell's chair, while Brell accessed his spatial ring to retrieve another chair to sit a little bit behind his master.
This clearly showed how highly Brell regarded his master.
Jason felt that this was a great advantage, and the fact that he had been able to defeat the former tribe chief, whose name was still a mystery to him, played into his hands.
Yet, contrary to his expectations, the other tribe chiefs didn't seem pleased about the arrival of Brell's master.
Rather, they were staring daggers at him, which Jason didn't expect to happen.
Because of that, he was unable to make an assumption about what would happen during the next few minutes.
Luckily, he heard the former tribe chief talking to Brell, and Jason was able to hear his name too.
As he overheard their conversation, he understood that the former tribe chief was explaining what he had done to the village.
Other than that, there were probably many things about him that had to be revealed first.
A few minutes passed in which the tribe chiefs were gossiping with each other, only for Jason to feel intense pressure that was directed towards him.
It was Brell who was trying to pressurize him but that was quickly retracted after the former tribe chief gently slapped his disciple on the head.
'They're probably talking about my victory against the former tribe chief, I guess?' Jason thought, confused about the fact that the other tribe chiefs were quietly gossiping amongst each other, leaving Brell and the former tribe chief alone to talk to each other.
Nobody seemed to show signs of wanting to interrupt their discussion, which was something Jason had expected to happen.
As such, he was a little bit astonished, and without anyone to talk to, his current task was to remain quiet and wait for the others to finish their discussion.
Yet, that was not something he was very good at.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long because the other tribe chiefs were slowly starting to become restless.
Thus, Brell and the former tribe chief hurriedly wrapped up their discussion, postponing it to a later moment before averting their attention to the tribe chief gathering.
"As I already said before, I want Jason to become the Vice Grand tribe chief. If someone has a problem with that, just challenge him in a battle!"
Brell said this with such high confidence as if he knew that Jason would win against everyone if he were to be challenged.
Yet, before anyone could comment on his announcement he simply added,
"By the way, if some of you might have missed it, I would like to bring to your notice that he defeated my Master? which is proven by the fact that he has the village medallion of my master's village with him!"
Those words carried even fewer emotions and sounded almost like a robot had explained it in a dry, monotonous voice.
Yet, these emotionless words caused the tribe chiefs to be struck by a bolt of lightning as only now did they realize that Jason didn't receive the village medaillon but had earned it. He had truly defeated the strongest tribe chief amongst them!
First, they didn't want to believe it, but after thinking about it for some time, confusion spread through their mind.
It seemed to be impossible for Jason to defeat the former tribe chief because his cultivation base was extremely low.
However, the more they looked at Jason, the more frightening his entire demeanor became to them.
It was weird because most of them hadn't seen Jason fighting in his true glory. At most, they had seen him clearing up the small batch of the Oceanfolk's attack wave when he was tending to the Mewi villagers' injuries and paying attention to their security.
Afterward, they had seen him flying around with majestic white-silverish wings that sprouted out of his back, confusing them further.
Yet, they had quickly forgotten all of it because they had been overjoyed owing to the return of the strong mana currents in their surroundings.
Because of that, they regarded Jason as someone who had bothered them about the attack of the Oceanfolk without giving them any evidence or something that could be used as proof.
Owing to that, the tribe chiefs hadn't paid much attention to Jason, even after he had arrived at the tribe chief gathering, thinking that one of them had given in to his endless nagging.
Thus, only now did they realize what was going on, and who exactly had given up his title as tribe chief in order to hand it over to Jason.
After that, they began to use their mana fluctuations to scan through Jason, attempting to figure out who exactly he was.
This caused some of them to be reluctant to challenge the young man, who seemed eerily calm, despite the fact that more than two dozen tribe chiefs at the Peak Prismar stage could challenge him one after another.
Rather, owing to the possibility of strong cultivators attacking him, Jason made use of the information provided by the former tribe chief. While the tribe chiefs looked at him warily, he unleashed his Celestia aura to the fullest while intertwining his will to fight against everyone into it.
On one hand, this provoked the Mewi tribe chiefs, but at the same time, Jason's action made it clear that he didn't fear them at all.
Their higher cultivation base was not enough to make Jason retreat, instead, it seemed to be the reason for him to be exhilarated.
His actions made them recall a similar scenario of how Brell was just before he left the valley. The youth used to be too eager to barge into every fight possible in an attempt to overcome his limitations by fighting and defeating opponents that were supposed to be much stronger.
As such, only a few tribe chiefs were left with the determination to teach Jason a lesson, and prove to everyone that he was nothing but a snobbish show-off.
Thus, one of the tribe chiefs Jason had wanted to provoke was lured into his trap exactly like he had planned.
"I challenge you, outsider! Don't complain if I injure you. If you want to become the Vice Grand tribe chief, defeating me should be no issue for you, right?!?"
Looking at the tribe chief, who was standing farther away to his left, Jason's smile only brightened. This annoyed the said tribe chief even more as he jumped up from his chair, repeating his demand to fight against Jason.
Seeing this, Jason decided to add another provocation, in order to ensure that his plan would work efficiently and without any hindrance.
"Don't worry about me, dear tribe chief. If I were you, I would pay more attention to my own health because it will be a little bit frosty soon. Please give your best to prevent dying. It would be a shame to lose one of our strong combatants! We need you to fight, even if you don't want to believe that!
Grinning after he finished his provocation, Jason kept eyeing the tribe chief mockingly, and all of a sudden, everyone turned quiet.
He knew that he went over the top, but seeing how red the tribe chief's face turned, as well as his insatiable mana fluctuations that caused his entire body to tremble, Jason could tell that he did the correct thing.
Turning his head towards the former tribe chief for a moment, he saw him smiling lightly, which meant that Jason had perfectly baited his opponent and that his exaggeration had been perfectly on point.
Brell saw that Jason looked at his master, and also realized that they had schemed something, which made him even more intrigued about the mysterious being called Jason.
'This should be interesting.'
