Thank you for such valuable input,

Please can give tell us the reason why the village leader wasn't shocked at that particular moment?

The village leader is Steven's father, and as parents we must know the temperament of children from childhood to adulthood....
Steven's father was shocked beyond shock... Wow!
How is a child who fails?
This is where the theory is my friend....
Evil will find its place and vice versa,
Dogs are only trained to destroy, so what happens if left alone.... 😁
