The Man In Rage novel Chapter 977

Chu Zheng-Liang returned to the Chu family that night and requested to speak to the elders.

The council of elders had the power to rein in the authority and power that the head of the Chu family held.

Chu Zheng-Hong had no power to change any decision that was reached unanimously by the elders, even if he disagreed with them.

After all, there was a reason that for the Chu family's longstanding supremacy in the realm of martial arts.

A democracy that kept those in power in check was definitely better than leaving the family in the hands of just one person like the Qiu family did.

"What did you just say?"

"Did Zheng-Hong really deploy the family's resources and declared war on Japan without consulting anyone?" "What a fool!" "How could he act unilaterally without seeking anyone's advice?"

"His actions might disrupt the Chu family's ambitions. How is he going to answer for that?"

In the meeting room, the upper echelons of the Chu family were bristling with rage after having heard from Chu Zheng-Liang that Chu Zheng-Hong had led a big group of grandmasters into Japan and carried out a massacre.

They reached a unanimous decision after a discussion.

"We will recall Chu Zheng-Hong's authority as the head of the Chu family. Chu Zheng-Liang will be in charge of the family until the old patriarch returns! Chu Zheng-Liang will take the Cloud Sun Token with him to Japan and recall our grandmasters. He will command Chu Zheng-Hong to return to the Chu family and face punishment!"

The Cloud Sun Token was akin to a tally that could deploy and dispatch the troops under one's command.

The council of elders at the Chu family was the ones who held it.

The Cloud Sun Token represented the will of the Chu family and possessed authority that surpassed that of the head of the family.

The Chu family's rules dictated that the head of the family must kowtow in deference when he was presented with the Cloud Sun Token. It was a powerful item that could rein in the power and authority of the head of the family.

The Chu family was going to use the Cloud Sun Token to summon Chu Zheng-Hong back home.

It was evident that the upper echelons of the Chu family were livid at what Chu Zheng-Hong had done.

Chu Zheng-Liang got to Japan in the nick of time and managed to summon everyone back before things spiraled out of control.

He also commanded Chu Zheng-Hong to return to the Chu family immediately to face punishment.

But Chu Zheng-Hong seemed oblivious to Chu Zheng-Liang's words.

His eyes glowed with an icy, murderous rage as he stared Chu Zheng-Liang straight in the eye.

"My dear brother, please don't make things difficult for me. You should return home with me right now as our elders have commanded you to. You can disrespect me, but are you going to disrespect the orders of our elders? You should know the consequences of disobeying the authority of the Cloud Sun Token," said Chu Zheng-Liang.

They were in Tokyo. With the Cloud Sun Token in his hands, Chu Zheng-Liang stared at the man before him with a serious look in his eyes as he spoke slowly in a deep voice.

His words were heavy with the promise of what was to come if Chu Zheng-Hong disobeyed his order.

As the saying went, the royal family was the most heartless of all families.

The Chu family was the most powerful family in the world of martial arts and were akin to kings and queens in that realm.

The family's history was rife with struggles for power.

No love was shared or lost between brothers.

"Master, let's go home. We did act rather rashly this time," said Han in a pleading tone.

Ye Fan had been expelled from the Chu family long ago, so his death meant nothing to the Chu family. But Chu Zheng-Hong had deployed the family's resources for a personal grudge, so he was in the wrong this time.

There was still time to turn back before everything was too late.
