The clansmen started staring at Gabriel as if they were anticipating something. This just left Gabriel stunned. He didn't know what they were thinking. He was still a young man with no experience of being a leader of a clan, yet they looked at him with hopeful gazes.
Gabriel looked at each of them. He looked deep into their eyes and realized that their expressions were all in despair, even though they were putting their hope in him.
He let out a sigh and stated, "I don't know what you were expecting, but I will try to do my best."
Everyone smiled and cheered for him. For a short time, they forgot that they were still mourning the deaths of their people.
In this case, they still didn't realize that their clan's worth had dropped. The other higher clans in the Great Mao Mountain were planning against them, especially focusing on Gabriel, whom they deemed as a threat to the Mao Mountain.
