The Lich of Glory Knight Spirit: Moving towards Krimasha! Chapter 599 - 16: Astray (9)

"No, I oppose this!" the Poetry Society Chairman was the first to scream.

"If Alvis takes the position, will he suppress the Midnight Singing group?" The lody Magic Association President questioned skeptically.

"Will he agree to fully implent legal education? I seriously doubt it. After all, he’s been in office for four years and has never done anything in that regard," Daniel from the Law Society also expressed his dissent.

"Angel, are you serious? This is equivalent to telling that all my investnts have gone to waste. How are you going to guarantee my interests?" The material supplier’s expression was filled with confusion and doubt.

"We’re stronger than them, aren’t we?" Div, Leader of the Battle Mage Team, angrily interjected, "If there’s going to be an annexation, it should be us annexing them! Angel, is there sothing happening that we don’t know about? Or have you betrayed us? I can hardly believe you would agree to such a proposal."

Everyone was questioning Angel, even Mosharili, who trusted him the most, cast a doubtful glance his way.

The core mbers of the team began chattering noisily.

After a while, Angel finally spoke softly, "Are you done arguing? If you’re done, it’s ti to listen to . Precisely because we are stronger than them, it must be them annexing us. You should hear my reasons first."

In an instant, the core mbers of the team perked up their ears.

Angel’s gaze flickered as he began speaking softly.

The team mbers widened their eyes slightly, their faces full of disbelief.

...

Qili stood in the distance, biting her lip, her small fists clenched tightly, breathing deeply over and over again, but helpless nevertheless.

"What should we do?" Gegil asked her, looking dejected.

"I don’t know either. I don’t understand why Angel would accept these terms. No, it’s not even ’acceptance’; he outright proposed it himself. If he was going to propose such terms, why didn’t he do it from the beginning? I don’t think anyone would have refused him. He consolidated so many people, and it was all for this result?"

"Is it because Alvis has sothing on him?"

"I don’t know; I know nothing—I’m still completely dizzy about it." Looking at Gegil, Qili’s eyes were filled with nothing but confusion: "It’s not about the terms we proposed; I feel like... I feel like he never intended to negotiate with us at all. He didn’t prepare to accept any terms. I have absolutely no idea what he’s trying to do."

Gegil stomped the ground fiercely.

If Angel had proactively proposed working with Qili, regardless of what kind of collaboration, Gegil might have ’opposed’ it sowhat. After all, this was the guy who had beat him up and humiliated him.

But no, nothing—nothing at all. Angel hadn’t even given him the chance. It felt as if there was no forewarning, yet he’d been punched in the face once again. Gegil’s face was even a little hot from the taphorical blow.

...

The news quickly spread throughout the school.

"Could you have guessed? The final trial turned out to be a rger—any two of the three factions rging would create the New Vascular Council. And what’s more surprising is that Angel, clearly strong enough to claim the top position, actually chose to submit. The Old Vascular Council, initially the weakest and supposed to be eliminated, has now solidified its position as number one."

"What is this? It makes suspect that Angel might be a spy planted by Alvis. Could this have all been planned from the start?"

"Who knows? If that’s the case, Alvis is far too brilliant."

"Perhaps we’ve overestimated Angel? A high aptitude for magic doesn’t necessarily an success in other areas. Maybe he’s always been nothing more than Alvis’s pawn? The real ruthless one is Alvis—using Angel’s na to unite people he couldn’t control, only to shift allegiance at a critical mont."

...

Angel sat alone on the bench by the flower beds, silently. He seed to be contemplating, or maybe waiting for sothing.

Well, not entirely alone—Mosharili was next to him. And countless people were intentionally or unintentionally watching him from afar.

...

Every corner of the school buzzed with discussions about this incident. For a ti, Alvis basked in unparalleled lilight.

mbers of the Old Vascular Council lifted their leader high and tossed him into the air repeatedly amidst cheers and celebration.

Standing far away, Gegil’s sister, Ruiqi’er, watched with a puzzled expression.

Although she had always doubted that her useless brother would succeed, she had never expected him to fail so spectacularly...

Elsewhere, Aurora, who had been eliminated, sighed softly and turned away.

...

Mosharili murmured complaints: "Everyone keeps asking why we accepted the rger with the Old Vascular Council."

"You didn’t tell them, did you?" Angel glanced at her indifferently.

"Of course not! How could I possibly spill the truth at a ti like this? I just said... we were all strongly opposed, but you insisted on acting alone."

"That’s exactly what you should say—shift everything onto . Anyway, in the eyes of most people, I’ve always been the odd one." Angel nodded, then continued, "Just do what you need to do; I’ll take care of the rest."

"Alright." Mosharili smiled slightly.

anwhile, Angel’s team mbers continued to operate in an orderly fashion within their controlled territories.

...

Ti trickled away bit by bit.

In her office, Barnes tilted her head slightly, glancing at the clock hanging on the wall.
