Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2658

Milo yelled and shouted, still trying to save face and regain his dignity.

Koda's voice turned 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."
