The Punishment Hall of the Huo family could only be controlled by the authority holder of the Huo family.
It represented the authority of the Family Head, daunting both the collateral relatives and the elders of the Huo Family.
Huo Yunjiao was the one in charge of the Huo Family, a position not bestowed upon him by internal elections, but by virtue of his being the only direct descendant of the family. He was the rightful next heir to the family.
As the leader of the Huo family, he gradually took over the Punishment Hall after reaching adulthood.
Throughout these years, all affairs of the Punishment Hall had to go through him.
The elders of the Huo Family played a certain role within the family too.
Many major matters had to be discussed internally before any decision was made, like the Grade A operation against Nangong Family this time.
Only after gaining the majority of votes from the elders, could it proceed without obstruction.
