However, the challenge was only answered by smiles and laughter from Datuak Sri Maharajo. Moku felt he was belittled and charged forward, Datuak Sri Maharajo remained sitting and laughing until Moku's fist almost touched his head and then he looked into Moku's eyes.
Suddenly Moku's whole body trembled, cold sweat dripped down his forehead and back, the hairs on his body shivered, and his eyes trembled violently and lost focus.
He seemed to be standing in front of a beast.
Moku could only kneel in fear. Datuak Sri Maharajo stood up from his seat and laughed loudly. He patted Moku's shoulder and comforted him with a gentle smile.
He said "a nail that hammered is a nail that sticks out".
His new teacher teaches Moku about how to be human. Strength is not only a matter of physical, strength also arises from the way of life.
Disputes are the last resort after all means have been done. Moku is taught about negotiation, conciliation, and mediation.
He taught Moku to be a tiger that only pulled out its claws when it was about to pounce.
That lesson became the turning point of Moku. He always remembers it, because of that Moku is not mean to girls, he feels with his openness and good treatment the girls will submit and accept their duties and give birth to orc babies.
But it seems the girls are never satisfied. Those who only convicts ask to be given the option to choose?
Is a comfortable place to live not enough?
Is a maintain their health and safety not enough?
Is delicious and healthy food not enough?
Is a light working hours and only serving one orc per day not enough?
Now they ask to be given the right to choose?
Who do you think you are?
You think we can choose? You think if there was another way we would kidnap girls from other species? You think if we were strong we would hide in the forest like rats?
Seems like my good intentions you guys reply with arrogance! you bite the hand that feeds you!
Claire consciousness seemed to be about to disappear amidst her frozen body.
She never knew how Anna would deal with this.
She knew that Anna had always been their shield. Claire knew the only reason that why Moku didn't immediately give them to the orcs was because it was Anna who had keep his attention away.
Claire has always envied Anna, she is a girl who has a heart of steel and is never afraid of the obstacles she will face.
But Anna's cries made her realize that she was also afraid and doubtful.
Anna is not a mage or a woman who has super powers. She was just a young girl who was even younger than Claire.
She didn't know what Moku said to make Anna stop crying. But Claire knew that it wasn't Moku who made Anna rise, he was only rekindling the fire of Anna's waning spirit.
Claire wasn't a strong girl like Anna.
She shouldn't have dared to give her opinion in front of a monster like Moku.
She shouldn't have decided to run away from home like she did that night.
She should obey his parents and be traded like goods in the market.
She was just a cheap woman raised to be a doll and a whore.
She who was raised like a doll should just shut up and obey her owner.
Anna looked at Claire who had paled and was about to lose consciousness. She had to stop Moku immediately before Claire was in danger.
"Moku! Sto—"
But is it true that she will only end up turning back into a doll?
"No! I..I..Iam fine! You don't need always become our shield Anna, I'm not that weak!" There was a weak voice come from Claire's pale lips.
Moku's eyes widened when he heard Claire's voice, he immediately stopped the overflow of his aura. Moku never thought that Claire would be able to stay awake and even stop Anna from trying to help her.
Her almost fading eyes shone again slowly.
'I'm not a doll!'
Her shivering body slowly stopped shaking.
'I'm not a whore!'
Her chattering teeth stopped and a friendly smile slowly formed on her lips.
'I'm not an ornament you can buy and sell!'
Moku looked at Claire's slowly burning eyes. The spirit flames that were immersed in her heart exploded creating a firestorm that engulfed everything.
Moku is looking at the birth of warrior.
His anger died down and his stiff lips twitched.
"Moku, I understand that the orcs just want to survive and forgive me for giving you an opinion that makes us look very arrogant.
If you refuse for us to choose our partners, can you choose all of us? I mean why do we have to be another orc couple? Why can't we just be your partner?
Do you not like us because we are weak?
If that's the reason, then I promise to be strong, I will practice swordsmanship with Anna every day, and I will make you acknowledge me" Claire spoke with burning eyes.
"Hey! what do you mean? You think I chose Anna because she is swordman? Do you think I'm a maniac?" Moku is offended.
But the five pairs of eyes of the girls who looked at him seemed to scream 'yes you are!'.
Moku tried to relieve his awkwardness by clearing his throat, "hm..hm..hm.. It's not because of that, I have my own reasons that are very important and have been my dream all along, unfortunately I can't say that"
The real reason why Moku didn't had sex with all five girls at the same time was actually related to Dragon Breath Cultivation.
Dragon Breath Cultivation uses dragon prana from the orc's genitals as its energy source.
Moku who want to get stronger must drain his dragon prana and climb the stairs to get to the second room and open the second gate.
But he couldn't just use up all of his dragon prana. As a source of strength for orcs, dragon prana also serves to conception and breed orc races.
So that every night after having intercourse with Anna, his dragon prana reserves are reduced. Meanwhile, to reach the second room and open the second gate requires a lot of dragon prana.
As a result, Moku's cultivation speed was reduced. Moku decides to only have sex with Anna until his dragon prana exceeds the current number.
His responsibilities as chieftain and passing on the orc lineage would not prevent him from achieving his dream. Moku remains aware that the tribe and all this is just a tool to achieve his dream.
The pensive Moku felt his hand being gently squeezed. He turned his head.
"Moku, I'm sorry for my selfish attitude earlier.
I don't understand how the orcs predicament are. But you must also understand our predicament.
I am the future mother of your baby and for the sake of Zelos I never thought of aborting this baby.
Nor do we intend to disturb or hinder the orcs from surviving.
I also thank you for taking care of us and intending to change the orcs' treatment of us.
But can you hear our predicament first before you decide how the orcs will treat us?" Anna spoke pitifully with pleading eyes.
Moku nodded.
"What I'm really worried about isn't where we're stationed, the food, or the orcs we'll have sex with.
What I'm afraid of is that the other orcs aren't like you.
I'm afraid they still think the same as before where women are just an outlet for their lust and desire to have sex.
I'm afraid that they will treat other girls harshly and hurt them during intercourse.
I fear that the girls will live in more painful days than death.
