Just as the He family's representative was about to open the bidding for the second share, Lu Hong strode in.
Seeing the visitor, the group of family representatives wore disdainful expressions, and someone immediately shouted, "Who are you, get out!"
Lu Hong glanced indifferently at the middle-aged man who spoke and sneered, "I am the State Preceptor of the Great Song Dynasty, entrusted by the Emperor of the Great Song to oversee the auction of the Purple Crystal Berries."
"You're in charge? Ha!" The representative from the Bai Family sneered, "Is your Great Song out of its mind? Leave now, and my Bai Family will forgive and forget. Go ask your Emperor if he doesn't want the throne anymore. If he doesn't, my Bai Family wouldn't mind helping you Great Song find a replacement, ..."
Before the Bai Family representative could finish speaking, Lu Hong stepped forward and grabbed him, powerful force choking his throat.
