Chu Haoyue's heavy punishments stunned everyone. However, no one dared to question his judgment.
With Chu Haoyue's power, even if he was not the son of the clan leader, there were not many who could surpass him. His judgment was the final decision. It would be useless even if it was made known to the higher-ups.
The higher-ups would not go against Chu Haoyue for the sake of a few small figures. Most importantly, Chu Hongde and the others knew that they were in the wrong. Even if it reached the clan leader, there would be no difference in the final result.
On the contrary, it might further deepen the hatred of the higher-ups toward them. At that time, they would not suffer just this little punishment.
