He was surrounded.
Han Rui led the contingent from the Han clan, and beside him stood Luo Chen himself at the head of the Luo clan's men. Behind them came the elders, Luo Phen among them, along with Luo Lan and Hong Qing, both of whom had been central to the investigation.
Han Suwen looked around at all of them, then let his sword drop to the ground.
"Looks like everyone made it," he said.
"What are you doing?" Han Rui shoved through the crowd and grabbed him by the throat before the words were fully out. "And is that Feng Zhou? What have you two been plotting?"
Then one of the elders pointed past them.
Han Shi's body lay not far off.
His son.
He turned back to Han Suwen, and the rage that came into his eyes had nothing measured left in it.
"You had better start explaining."
Han Suwen had expected this, in some part of his mind.
That his son would invite an enemy into the heart of their clan, then kill a brother with his own hands, he could see how it looked.
