An old man spoke thus.
His name was Hong Xianghong, a cousin of Hong Linya. As soon as Su Bei assumed the position of head of the Su Family, he appointed him as the steward.
Su Bei frowned upon hearing this and said, "Steward Hong, call me family head!"
"Yes, Family Head!" Hong Xianghong dared not say more, as the entire Su Family was under Su Bei's control. To fare well, he could only comply with him.
"Family Head, there's trouble!"
Suddenly, dozens of burly men burst in, panic-stricken.
"What's the panic? Has the sky fallen?" Su Bei scolded, then looked at one of them and asked, "Yu Mengjiao, what about cousin Barton? Why hasn't he returned?"
"He's dead. Young Master Barton was killed by Li Er Niu," Yu Mengjiao stammered, "We would not have survived if we hadn't been quick to flee···"
"Worthless fools."
Su Bei did not let him finish, and slapped him, rebuking, "Abandoning your superior and fleeing alone, according to the rules of the Su Family, you should be executed!"
