The old man sitting there is Huang An, the Butler of the Huang Family in the Capital. Though merely a Servant, he held power much like the eunuchs beside ancient emperors.
His power was immense.
Huang An was dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit, sporting a beard, looking imposing and noble.
In the Huang Family, even a Servant exuded overwhelming dominance.
"Pay respects to Elder An!"
Jiang Wudao quickly knelt on both knees.
The secretary and bodyguards behind him, frightened, also knelt down. In front of Huang An, they seemed so tiny and helpless.
Though it is modern times and such degrading rituals should have been abolished, among the Aristocratic Clans, the act of kneeling is still prevalent.
Not only kneeling to family members, but one must also kneel to those of higher status, or it would be deemed disrespectful and would result in familial punishment.
"Rise!"
