"I'm simply taking advantage of the situation," Han Xun replied dismissively before fallling silent. The army is upon us!
"The Chen Family Head's Order is not with me; you needn't bother yourselves with that thought. I am just an elder of the Chen Clan," said Chen Shang, glancing around at the others. He no longer seemed annoyed, but made an effort to speak calmly. The current head of the Chen Family of Mount Tai is Chen Xi.
"Of course, the Chen Family need not worry, and Marquis Chen matters greatly to us as well," Han Xun said, looking at Chen Shang. He then bent down and removed the jade pendant at Cheng Hui's waist before standing up and turning to the other family heads.
"Alas," Bai Ying heaved a sigh and was the first to hand over the bronze short sword from his waist to Han Xun. Once the first one did so, the other family heads also reluctantly handed over their own Family Head's Orders.
