Feng Jiu, dressed in red, appeared from outside not long after, followed by several elders. Everyone's gaze was drawn to the beautiful woman in red as they watched them enter.
Was this the woman in red? She was truly stunning.
They were deep in thought when they noticed the woman in red sitting on the main seat in the hall. When they saw where she sat, the eyes of everyone in the reception hall moved.
Several elders surrounded Feng Jiu as they surveyed the gathering within the hall. "When I request your presence today, it is for an important announcement."
An elder spoke, his eyes sweeping the crowd before landing on the father and son of the Hong clan. "The current City Lord must resign to make room for a virtuous man. After much deliberation, we decided to elect one to succeed as the new City Lord. This man is Patriarch Hong."
