"I object!"
The cold, indifferent voice cut through the clamor of tens of thousands, silencing the crowd.
Surprised, everyone turned to look at the source of the voice. They saw the Second Elder slowly rising to his feet, a solemn expression on his face as he stared at Hong Yu.
Hong Yu raised an eyebrow. "Who's this?"
Third Elder Hong Tianduan gave a wry smile. "That's the Second Elder... Sigh, I knew he wouldn't just stand by and watch you become an Honorary Elder."
"Oh."
Hong Yu nodded.
The entire Hong Family was divided into two factions: one led by the Grand Elder, the other by the Second Elder.
The Second Elder's faction was incredibly powerful, so much so that even the Patriarch, Hong Yuanfeng, leaned in their favor. Consequently, Hong Yuanfeng's son, Hong Renjie, was a key pillar of the Second Elder's side.
