Looking at the individuals who are yelling at him. He was unfazed by the situation. "It's about the Morning circular that is provided to all our people," he said, his stare steely. When they heard that, they immediately stopped bickering and turned to face him.
"It's already determined, the old guy became enraged. And we came to a unanimous consensus. Don't tell me you're here again to persuade us." He stated. The remaining members also have dissatisfied expressions on their faces. People who have previously backed him have been silent this time."
"This scumbag" Mr. Arthur yelled obscenities at him in his mind. But he didn't overtly say anything. "Elder Jensen, I'm not here to convince," he said instead. When I stated those last words. I looked at each of them and said, "But, Zack Lockwood wished for a life and death duel." The elders were all taken aback. Elder Jensen's eyes were also wide open.
Elder Alicia smashed the table with her palms, "Smack...Smack." The table got disintegrated.
Everyone knew Elder was enraged when they heard that roar. This was an unexpected outcome. As they all knew that many of their grandsons and granddaughters. were contending for the position of representative.
Mr.Arthur was well aware that the old coots were irritated. When he saw their uncertainty, he realized their entire scheme would fail. If this is a life-or-death situation.
They can't even get rid of Zack. His name has already been registered as a Seed Candidate. This information has been shared with a number of organizations. That's why they're focusing their efforts on Zack. Crimson Hall's rewards, on the other hand. caused these ancient coots to reconsider their first decision.
As a result, they devised a number of loopholes. They eventually settled on a difficult duel strategy.
Internally, Mr. Arthur smiled. He's curious as to what they're going to decide. Elder Alicia's rage was uncontrollable. "This is our institution," she said. "I don't understand why we have to wrap our heads around this little brat." "It would be better," she continued. If he died, I'd be happy. Then it will be less difficult for us." She said it in a threatening tone.
Her statements didn't sit well with many of the elders. who had noticed that the atmosphere had changed. Especially the most powerful of the elders. Thornton, Elder A former member of the Army Federation who is now retired.
Elder Thornton showed his disapproval with a
"Humph."
"Alicia, if you don't want your little clan to vanish off the face of the earth. With a chuckle, Elder Thornton added, "It would be better if you behaved. and didn't even consider doing anything to that little kid."
Everyone was aware of his smile, which was nothing more than a warning. Zack's background had already been examined. Despite the fact that he is an adoptive child. His adopted father is well-known within the organization and has many significant connections. They certainly don't want to hurt Zack.
Elder Thornton's remarks were heard. Elder Alicia's face flushed with terror. She seemed to be terrified. Then decide whether or not to stay. Observing her responses. Everyone let out a sigh.
"Why are you folks thinking about crooked ways?" Elder Jensen said. Don't forget that Army Federation has jurisdiction over our city." He didn't go on to say anything else. Only a few astute individuals have deciphered the underlying meaning.
But they continued to sneer at him. He is the one who devised the difficult duel. He is now acting in a more upright manner.
"All right," Elder Thornton said. Everyone was staring at him. He is neutral among them, not because he is powerful. He follows all of the rules and regulations. Elder Alicia was among those who pricked up their ears.
"Everyone should think as higher ups of the Hansen Sword Centre. rather than your individual, family, clan, or other organization's perspective." Elder Thornton remarked after a brief glance at Mr. Arthur Emerson.
"When we originally chose Zack," he continued. There are no differences between us. Certain seniors, in particular, were delighted to push him forward. So that he can be utilised as a slaughter lamb."
He looked Elder Thornton in the eyes as he stated that. Hearing those words, Elder Jansen's face looked as though he had just eaten excrement. The faces of several of the elders have turned green. They were humiliated. They don't hesitate to twist their words and views when it comes to benefits. Elder Alicia also helped them. She had previously backed Zack.
Mr. Arthur burst out laughing in his heart as he observed their reactions. "Way to go. He thanked Elder Thornton for speaking out against nepotism. In order to give a representative position for their descendants. They don't even think twice about stooping low.
"I want to remind you," Elder Thornton said. Crimson Hall's deeds are well-known. They will almost certainly target and kill students. It has happened in the past. It's not even going to change this year. Specifically, information on the tournament's prizes.
I believe it was leaked on purpose. As a result, this year will be even worse than in past years. They're planning to entice and kill all of the potential applicants. This time, the death toll will be higher."
Hearing his statements, they all took a moment to process them. Elder Jensen, who had been irritated previously. In his mind, there was a moment of clarity. As a result, he exhaled deeply.
Elder Alicia considers it as well if a member of her clan achieves a good position in the competition. It would be ideal, but if she loses, not only will the member perish. It's possible that her family will be targeted. Then it won't be a problem if it's Zack. It is also beneficial to the Hansen training centre.
Now that she has grasped everything, she made the decision not to argue in this case. Elder Thornton fixed his gaze on them.
"It appears that all of you have a better understanding of the situation." "Our best option is Zack." Elder Thornton stated. Then he called for votes in this life-or-death contest. They can't rescind the circular because it's already been distributed. they can only opt to follow Zack's suggestion.. Everyone voted for a life-or-death duel this time.
