Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 462 The Aftermath [3]

Chapter 461: The Aftermath [3]

"It\'s all because of him!" one of the elders bellowed, pointing an accusing finger directly at Shin. "He is the one who brought calamity upon us!"

The room echoed with unspoken thoughts, igniting a spark of anger and fear within the gathered elders. Like wildfire, the blame spread, with more and more voices joining the chorus of condemnation.

"He should have never set foot in our clan!" another elder chimed in, his face twisted with disdain. "If only he hadn\'t come here, we wouldn\'t be in this mess!"

The room resonated with the deafening clamor of accusation, drowning out any rational thought or empathy. Shin stood at the center of the storm, with an unsettling fusion of confusion and defiance played out upon his face.

Aurora felt torn between her loyalty to the clan and her understanding of the situation. She knew that blaming Shin was unfair, yet the pressure from the elders was becoming unbearable. The demands for judgment grew louder, their voices echoing off the walls of the hall. She struggled to find her voice amidst the chaotic clamor, her mind racing for a way to diffuse the situation.

"Judge him!" they pleaded, their voices filled with righteous indignation. "Hold him accountable for his actions!"

Shin\'s gaze shifted from one accusing elder to another, his expression a mix of frustration, hurt, and defiance. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white as he fought to maintain his composure amidst the onslaught of blame. It was clear that the situation was spiraling out of control, and the unity of the clan was at risk of crumbling under the weight of anger and fear.

Mike, who was present there along with Orion, found the situation somewhat hilarious as he observed the herd mentality taking hold of the elders. It was as if they were puppets, mimicking each other\'s accusations without giving it a second thought. The absurdity of the situation struck him, and he couldn\'t help but voice his disbelief.

"Are you serious?" Mike\'s voice cut through the air, laced with incredulity. The sudden sound startled some of the elders, their accusatory gazes turning towards him.

As Mike was about to say more, he noticed Shin\'s subtle gesture, his right arm extended forward to halt any further words. Understanding the unspoken message, Mike fell silent, his eyes shifting to Shin\'s face. There was a mixture of sadness and resignation reflected in Shin\'s expression, a weight that seemed to burden his very being.

Though disappointed by the elders\' actions, Shin knew that arguing or defending himself would only serve to further divide the clan. He understood the importance of unity and moving forward, even if it meant shouldering the blame and allowing others to vent their frustrations. It was a selfless act, a sacrifice he was willing to make for the greater good.

Mike respected Shin\'s decision, his voice silenced by the weight of understanding. He stood by Shin\'s side, a silent ally, ready to offer support in whatever way he could. Sometimes, words were not necessary, and the power of a shared understanding spoke volumes.

"I apologize," Shin\'s voice resonated through the hall, filled with a tinge of regret and determination. "I will immediately get out of this place."

Shin\'s gaze met Aurora\'s, a flicker of determination shining in his eyes. "Since the Supremes are after me, the moment I leave, they will try to attack me. So, maybe, I will try to waste their time."

"Please use the opportunity to restore the barrier or perhaps, find a different hiding place?" Shin\'s voice carried a hint of hope, a suggestion for the clan to take action and ensure their survival.

Despite asking them to find a place, Shin knew deep down that it would be next to impossible to do so. If it was possible, then they would have already found such a place to hide.

Silence enveloped the hall as Shin made his way towards the exit. No one spoke a word, nor did anyone attempt to stop him. The gravity of the situation had rendered them speechless, their minds consumed by the imminent threat looming over them. The unspoken understanding hung in the air - they all knew that his departure would expose him to the watchful eyes of the Supremes.

With each step taking him closer to the city\'s boundaries, Shin could sense the invisible gaze of the Supremes fixating on him. He could almost feel their anticipation, knowing that he was vulnerable and their pursuit relentless.

As Shin stepped out of the protective barrier, the familiarity of the outside world hit him. The once-familiar streets now carried an eerie stillness, as if holding its breath in anticipation. He knew that his departure would not go unnoticed. The watchful eyes of the Supremes, ever vigilant, were already looming over him.

But was Shin a fool? Would he really give up his life for someone he didn\'t even know? The Heavenly Wolf Family? Would he prioritize strangers over his own kin?

His mind churned with conflicting thoughts and emotions. He wasn\'t a fool, nor was he naive. Shin understood the risks he was taking and the potential consequences of his actions. Yet, his sense of justice burned brightly, compelling him to lend aid to those in need, regardless of their affiliations.

With every step Shin took, his mind became clearer and his resolve grew stronger. He couldn\'t abandon his clan, his family, who had stood by him through thick and thin.

The bond they shared was unbreakable, and their safety was his utmost priority. He couldn\'t simply accept defeat or leave his loved ones to fend for themselves. He had to find a way to protect them, to ensure their survival against the impending threat of the Supremes.

He would be the shield that protected his family, the sword that struck down their enemies. He would use every ounce of his strength, every skill at his disposal, to ensure the survival and prosperity of his clan.

"Ha.."

And so, with a resolute spirit and a heart filled with love, Shin pressed on, his mind set on finding a way to shield his clan from the impending storm. He would explore every option, face every challenge head-on, and emerge victorious, knowing that the safety and happiness of his family depended on his unwavering determination.
