Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 2658

Milo yelled and shouted, still trying to save face and regain his dignity. Koda’s voice tuned icy cold. “Milo, back when Mr. Livingston was alive, out of respect for him, I’d call you Mr. Avila. But now that Mr. Livingston is gone, an old piece of trash like you means absolutely nothing to me. If you keep running your mouth, I’ll show you what it means to lose your head.” Milo’s eyes filled with terror, and he bit down on his teeth in silent rage. Deep down, he was still afraid of Koda. With his pathetic combat abilities, he would not last even one round against him.

Corbin shouted, “Koda, enough with the nonsense. Let’s go with the previous proposal. We’ll hold a fair election for the director position. Whoever gets the most votes wins. This is the fairest and least damaging solution.” Koda sneered, “Corbin, you old fool, you must be dreaming. You have way more people than I do. Using votes to select the director? Do you think I’m stupid? I’ll never agree to your proposal. How about we go with my suggestion instead?

You and I fight one-on-one, and whoever wins gets the right to lead the entire Advanced Medical Institute.” —- Corbin’s expression darkened, his brow twitching repeatedly. Everyone in the Advanced Medical Institute knew he was not skilled in combat; his strength was in alchemy. Meanwhile, Koda was the Institute’s martial champion. Choosing the next leader through combat was exactly the kind of plan that played directly into his hands. However, to everyone’s surprise, Corbin gritted his teeth after a long silence and said, “Fine, I accept.” Koda was momentarily shocked.

He had not expected Corbin to actually agree. After a two-second silence, the Institute disciples erupted, chanting Corbin’s name repeatedly. Clearly, Corbin’s move had won him massive popular support. Koda grinned wickedly. “Corbin, you old fool, since you’re so eager to die, I’ll gladly oblige. Let’s settle this right now, once and for all.” He grabbed his sword, ready to step down Corbin snorted coldly. “! know your martial skills surpass mine, but Koda, you’ve committed so many wrongs and harbor such evil intentions. Heaven and Mr. Livingston’s spirit will surely stand on my side.

Tonight, I’ll return and hold a vigil for Mr. Livingston. Tomorrow, we fight to decide the winner.” —- Koda did not bother arguing. He carried his sword and led his people away with an explosive stride. He had absolute confidence that he could take Corbin’s head. Right now, he did not have many advantages, but when it came to combat, he had no fear whatsoever. Once Koda’s group left, Corbin continued basking in the cheers and adoration of the Advanced Medical Institute’s disciples. Lennox looked proud as he rushed to Corbin’s side with his chin lifted high.

Lorenzo stood in the back with an unreadable smile before slipping away. Mikayla hurried after him. Before leaving, she shot a quick glance in Milo’s direction. Andrew had already retreated to the back entrance of the Grand Medicinal Hall. Mikayla’s cautious nature was obvious everywhere she went. Unfortunately, she never imagined she would end up dragged into the internal war of the Advanced Medical Institute “Hey, Mr. Lloyd, let me ask you something.” The moment Quinn stepped out of the Grand Medicinal Hall, she went straight for Andrew. —- “Why didn’t you stand up for my dad just now?

Aren’t you some rich kid from Chetvine? Weren’t you supposed to back him up? You coward. What does my dad even need you for?” Quinn switched faces unbelievably fast. Earlier, she had been acting cute and putting on an act in front of Andrew. Yet barely a moment later, she had completely turned against him
