"The Ancestor will present the reward for the Future-Heir Sanjay." The Faction said as he stood still and the rest of the candidates, the elders, and every other person stood up.

An old man came into the seating area of the faction head slowly. He has long white hair and a long white beard. He wore loose robes and has an aura of a monk.

Behind him, another person also came out, and he is the uncle of Sanjay who is holed up in that dark room.

He decided to come out since his grandfather is coming out as a sign of respect.

All the people in the faction are looking at the old man with respect.

They are more respectful to him than the Faction-head. Even though he is not the strongest and definitely not stronger than the current Faction-head, he is not weaker than him either. If anything, he can at most tie with the Faction-head.
