"I know, Elder Zhu. We can't continue like this. However, I have no authority to decide. It's up to the Clan's Council. As I said earlier, my judgment is clouded because I just lost 3 children in a day. If I made a decision now, what would you say? I believe no one will accept it."
No one said anything. They were aware that he was right. In a sense, they could understand his anger and desperation. And the Elders didn't want the Patriarch to make a decision. Everyone sought the opportunity to get the highest position.
"Patriarch, how about we vote? Let us decide through democracy." Tang Heng proposed, "This is a serious matter, and we can't just sit here and do nothing. We need to take action."
The others nodded their heads, agreeing with his idea.
"I will support the voting system."
Having no other choice, Tang Jiaofu nodded his head.
"Alright, then we will start the voting."
