Chapter 1673 1668: Struggle for the Clan Leader
"Baseth, if you are dissatisfied with my leadership, you can speak up. I will give you a chance to fight me fairly."Dean's piercing gaze shot directly towards the opponent.
"If you win, I will give up the position of clan leader. But if you lose, please mind your conduct and don't stir trouble anymore." Dean looked at Baseth seriously.
Baseth was taken aback and burst into laughter, "Dean, have you lost your mind? I'm just a Level Nine werewolf, but you've already become a Wolf King. How could I possibly be a match for you?"
Baseth was indeed self-aware in this regard.
"Do you think I, Dean, am just an oppressive scoundrel?" Dean felt even more disappointed in Baseth.
"I will suppress my strength to Level Nine werewolf to battle you. If you can defeat me, I will honor my promise and give you the clan leader position." Dean said.
Upon hearing Dean's serious tone, the elderly werewolf standing by revealed a worried expression.
"King, you mustn't. You are still injured and cannot..."
Originally, Baseth was weighing whether to accept Dean's challenge.
Dean, as the interim clan leader, possesses the strength of a Wolf King; fighting him now would be fine if he wins.
If he loses, he might truly lose any chance to compete for the clan leader position.
Werewolves are mostly straightforward.
Though Baseth coveted the clan leader position, he hadn't done anything to overstep his bounds.
Today, Baseth decided to take a risk and try.
Even if his father found out, he should not blame him, right?
"Alright! Dean, do you keep your word?!"
Baseth shouted, questioning insistently.
Though Baseth's aptitude might be slightly inferior to Dean's, within the larger context,
there might not be many in the werewolf clan who can rival him.
While he hasn't comprehended 'Wolf God Possession' like Dean, advancing to the Wolf King Realm,
his strength is still undoubtedly impressive.
As a Level Nine werewolf at peak power, his strength surpasses many elder Level Nine werewolves.
Unlike the solitary Dean,
Baseth has a powerful backing; the Oni Family's current prowess is also feared.
His father and two uncles are formidable existences at Wolf King Level!
If he can 'fairly compete' with Dean for the clan leader position, it would likely be welcomed by many clan members.
Though for many clan members, a solitary clan leader is preferable compared to one backed by a powerful family.
...
Standing beside, Su Chen claimed amnesia, but that didn't mean he lost his wit.
He had been listening to the exchanges between Dean and the others.
The burly man wanted to challenge Dean?
Su Chen suddenly stepped forward, "Why need my brother to deal with you? I'll fight you."
This abrupt voice instantly brought silence to the air.
Then, a loud, arrogant laughter followed.
"Haha, you're killing me with laughter. Are you talking to me?"
Su Chen's realm had dropped. After using the Destruction Secret Technique, even with the physique modified by Black Stone, he couldn't remain unaffected.
But fortunately, he was brought to the Human King Realm by that mysterious force.
Though now his realm had fallen significantly.
Su Chen still stands firmly at the Saint Realm.
And he is at the peak of Initial Rank Saint!
According to werewolf strength classifications,
Su Chen was merely a Level Seven werewolf.
And yet he tried to challenge a Level Nine werewolf; if that isn't losing one's mind, what is?
Even though Dean had witnessed Su Chen's formidable side,
Su Chen had only just recovered, his strength was not yet superior to Dean's.
At this moment, Dean could not permit Su Chen to fight Baseth.
He knew well Baseth's might and ruthless nature.
If Su Chen were to battle Baseth now, the consequences would be severe.
Giving Baseth even a slight chance might render Su Chen either dead or severely injured!
Baseth needed to establish his authority.
Dean was originally the best target, but he needed to heed some caution.
After all, Dean is currently the interim clan leader.
But if the opponent is Su Chen, Baseth might not hold back.
"Ultraman Tiga, you still have injuries..." Dean tried to stop.
Su Chen shook his head, "It's okay, I know my limits. Dealing with him is more than enough."
A proud aura emerged from his heart!
Though Baseth's presence wasn't weak,
Su Chen felt no panic in his heart and even seemed to subtly disregard the opponent.
Even if Su Chen had amnesia, he remained Su Chen.
Deep in his memory, not only had he faced Saint Peak levels, but he had also fought Human King Level experts multiple times.
Now dealing with Baseth, though not completely assured,
he felt no fear whatsoever.
Dean, initially persuading him, upon seeing Su Chen's confident expression,
recalled the scene of Su Chen's impressive display.
He gritted his teeth and chose to trust him.
...
Baseth's face was full of cold sneers.
Now was his prime opportunity while Dean was injured.
Su Chen stepping up to challenge him was tantamount to a grudge of robbing and harming.
As Dean had thought, if given a chance, he would definitely not let Su Chen survive.
"Dean, are you sure you want him to fight me? Don't cry that I'm bullying him." Baseth mocked Dean coldly.
"If you really have the skills, just show them. Don't end up searching for your teeth after being beaten." Su Chen clenched his fist and loudly declared towards Baseth.
"Hahaha! Bold! Whether you are an unawakened clansman or a foreigner, once on the ring, life and death are beyond one's control!"
Baseth, enraged, laughed; in his eyes, Su Chen's skills were merely a joke.
He was not planning to attack immediately.
Since he intended to take the clan leader position,
The confrontation with Dean must be honorable.
If Dean had accepted the challenge today,
he might have arranged for the fight right away.
Werewolves have remarkable recovery power.
Even if Dean was injured, Baseth dared not delay too long.
After all, Dean is a dignified Wolf King.
Even the realm already surpasses his own, giving Baseth no advantage.
However, if dealing with Su Chen, he felt less apprehensive.
Killing him would be killing him.
By then, what could Dean even do to him?
Baseth also intended to establish authority. Though he is the grandson of the Great Elder.
But the Great Elder had long ceased concerning himself with clan matters.
And Dean is the inheritor of the Jela Family, supported by the High Priest.
Baseth bore deep resentment towards the High Priest.
Regarding Baseth's ambitions to become the werewolf clan leader, the High Priest remained indifferent.
But secretly, he gave unbridled support to Dean.
Is it that he is inferior to Dean?
