How can one establish a foothold in the Imperial Court, known as the "Hall of Yama"?
Zhao Douan struck fear by making an example of a monkey to warn the chickens, stepping on the members of the Royal Family as his stepping stones, and initially established his authority within Lihua Hall.
But this deterrent was obviously not enough to make the other eight Masters revere him.
Especially the ones ranked at the very top, they didn't give him any face at all.
Even the more tactful ones at the hallway entrance, the attitude they conveyed was essentially one word:
Scram.
The things that have been swallowed, would they just be spit out simply because Zhao Douan said so?
"Lord, you must not act rashly!"
The four who heard Zhao Douan say this with a chuckle, felt a chill down their spines. The newly promoted secretary Qian Kerou's heart raced, urging him.
Fearing that her superior would act impulsively, and grab a knife to hack at someone at the eight entrances.
