Lionheart Society: I am an S-class freshman, with infinite power of words.

But in reality, that empty, mysterious school board seat was his.

Frost stopped ringing the bell, turned around and glared at Angers: "Angers! Is this the kind of student you have under your jurisdiction? Disrespectful! Completely undisciplined!"

“Yes,” Angers replied casually, taking a cigar from his cedarwood tobacco case.

That was a Havana No. 1 cigar, which suited the taste and status of someone like Angers.

Angers slowly inhaled the aroma of the cigar before using a thin match to ignite the tobacco and take a puff, oblivious to his surroundings.

Frost's face seemed frozen, waiting for Angers' explanation, but Angers completely ignored him.

The students are eating sunflower seeds here, while the teachers are smoking cigars!

The faculty and students of Kassel College taught Frost a very memorable lesson!

Frost was not the head of the Gattuso family; at most, he was an acting head of the family.

The real head of the family, Pompeii, was his brother, but that fellow was a wanderer who roamed the world and was never home. The affairs of the Gattuso family were all managed by Frost.

But in the end, he was just acting as the head of the family. Even if the head of the family, Pompeii, were present, Angers would not need to give him face.

Angers exhaled a smoke ring, and through the smoke, he gave Lin Chen an approving look.

The old man, who was holding prayer beads, rang a bell: "Angers, I admit you are a great educator, but the performance of you teachers and students is not very good!"

“I think I’m doing great!” Angers said. “The academy has a high enrollment and graduation rate every year, and the executive officers have achieved remarkable results on dragon-slaying battlefields all over the world! Isn’t that my achievement?”

Frost stared at Angers: "Don't think I don't know. The academy holds beauty pageants every year, and you personally serve as a judge, even dancing with girls. There are all sorts of parties within the academy, and the academy's internet has a free atmosphere, with people even discussing professors' gossip. Is this also part of your management?"

(Zhao) Frost slammed a stack of documents on the table: "Look at the money you waste in the college every year. We don't know where all our investment has gone. Don't tell me you can teach students well now!"

The board members picked up the document, which was indeed a detailed report.

The college's spending on parties, its investment in Angers' private jet, its procurement of alcoholic beverages...

This time, Frost's accusations were based on solid evidence, and Angers could find no excuse.

The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat delicate at this moment, with each board member having their own agenda.

Only Lin Chen was cracking sunflower seeds with great speed.

Every one of them present would be a powerful family leader or business tycoon in the outside world.

But at this moment, they were arguing fiercely, and Lin Chen, watching the drama unfold, exclaimed that it was incredibly entertaining.

Elizabeth rang the bell: "I don't know what the point of this topic is. The headmaster has done a good job in the dragon-slaying cause. We don't need to waste time on trivial matters like money! Do you want to remove Headmaster Angers from his position?"

Frost rang the bell: "I didn't mean that. I just said that Angers should set a good example. You are just the headmaster of the academy. We, the board members, also have the right to supervise the academy. I need to take Lin Chen away for investigation today. He might have Odin's secrets on him!"

Angers rang the bell: "You're treating my student as an enemy. This isn't something you can decide on your own!"

The man in sportswear rang a bell: "Let's not hurt each other's feelings. The rule of the board of directors is to make decisions by voting!"

Frost surveyed the room: "I have made myself clear, and I believe you all have your own judgment!"

“Alright! Let’s vote!” Angers said. “Raise your hand if you support Frost!”

69: The Mysterious Board of Trustees' Vote! Frost's Fury!

Frost raised his hand, his gaze sweeping over each member of the board of directors.

The elderly man holding prayer beads was the first to raise his hand.

Next came the middle-aged man in sportswear, who looked at Frost: "Regarding the investigation results on Lin Chen, I need to share information about the Gattuso family!"

“No problem!” Frost immediately assured him. “This is the right that all school board members should have! Not like Angers, who tries to hold onto power for himself!”

Angers had a cigar between his fingers, and his eyes were already showing signs of anger.

The middle-aged man in sportswear, having received Frost's assurance, also raised his hand.

Angers looked around: "The three of you, Frost, you have three votes! Now it's time for the dissenting votes, everyone raise your hands!"

After saying this, Angers was the first to raise his hand, followed by Elizabeth.

She stood unconditionally on the same side as Angers, and looked at Lin Chen as she raised her hand.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow at Elizabeth to express his gratitude.

Then there was Charlotte, a fifteen-year-old girl whose eyes sparkled when she looked at Lin Chen.

She raised her hand without hesitation, and the butler behind her tried to stop her, but it was already late.

“Three votes, no one abstained,” Angers said. “A three-to-three tie, Frost, your wish is likely to be dashed!”

Frost shook his head: "As the largest board of directors of Kassel College, the Gattuso family has the additional privilege of one vote. A tie is considered a pass. I request to exercise this privilege!"

Frost was clearly confident; he had made preparations before his arrival.

He knew that Lin Chen would try to win over the two female school board members, so he had already made a plan.

Angers rang the bell: "Come on, Frost, you know we still have one last board member. That mysterious board member may not have attended any meetings, but he definitely exists. His vote is with me, and I'll vote against him!"

Frost shook his head again: "Angers, if that's the case, then I need to have a serious talk with you. You were also involved in the Odin incident. Although you didn't face Odin directly, you entered Nibelungen at the last moment, so you are also a participant in the incident!"

Angers remained silent; Frost was telling the truth.

He took deep drags on his cigar, his expression hidden from others by the smoke.

Frost continued, "According to the Secret Party Agreement, as a participant in the time, you can only exercise your own voting rights, and you cannot vote on behalf of others. Therefore, voting on behalf of the Mysterious School Board is not allowed! Unless he expresses his own opinion!"

The other board members present at session 637 also nodded in agreement.

The Secret Society operates according to its charter, whether it's the Abrahamic Cult of Blood or the Secret Society Charter!

Frost was fully prepared, and he was determined to achieve his goal today.

At this point, Frost stood up: "In that case, I will announce the results of the vote: a tie of three to three. Exercising the Gattuso family's privilege, a tie is a pass."

He looked as smug as a child who had won a competition, and the expression on Old Man Sang's face became more varied: "On behalf of the Board of Directors, I will detain and investigate Lin Chen, and after the investigation is completed, the results will be shared!"

Frost turned to look at Lin Chen, a victor's smile already playing on his lips.

He wanted to see Lin Chen's terrified expression at that moment, but Lin Chen just looked down and tapped his phone!

Frost glared at him: "Who gave him permission to bring his phone! Why wasn't his phone blocked?!"

Lin Chen simply curled his lip.

The Equipment Department of Kassel College: Its capabilities far exceed your imagination!

Lin Chen raised his head and calmly met Frost's eyes: "The meeting isn't over yet, is it?"

“It’s over!” Frost said. “The Board of Trustees’ vote is finalized. This is not something you should be thinking about. I will intervene psychologically with you afterward, and you will forget about today’s meeting!”

Lin Chen shook his head and said softly, "It's not over yet, there's still one more person."

Frost frowned, unable to understand why Lin Chen was still so calm at this moment.

In his eyes, Lin Chen was already a lamb to the slaughter, a piece of meat on the chopping board, who should scream for survival and beg on the ground to spare his life.

Yet Lin Chen remained remarkably calm.

Frost raised his voice: "And one more?

“There’s another school board member!” Lin Chen said. “This mysterious school board member hasn’t voted yet!”

"If you're pinning your hopes on this? I advise you to give up!" Frost said. "This mysterious school board member has never appeared before, not even at today's meeting, let alone in decades. He certainly wouldn't care about something as trivial as this!"

"That's hard to say! You are not a fish, how can you know what a fish is thinking?"

"What did you say?" Frost didn't understand. "Give up the struggle. Delaying it won't change anything!"

Frost turned and looked at Angers defiantly: "Angers! Quickly persuade your student, he still hasn't come to terms with reality... or perhaps neither have you!"

Angers placed his hand on the table, and Elizabeth could clearly see the throbbing veins on his wrist.

There are some things that cannot be done in the world of hybrids, and provoking Angers is definitely one of them!

This centenarian has long since lost all fear and burden; he will send away all enemies before him.

But as the veins on Angers' wrist gradually faded, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

The sound came from each of the school board members' mobile phones, and the other school board members also reached into their pockets at the same time.

Apart from Frost, all the other board members took out their phones, opened them, and froze on the spot.

Charlotte immediately covered her mouth: "Oh my god! I thought he didn't exist!"

The middle-aged man in sportswear gasped: "He's made his stance clear!"

The old man, who was holding prayer beads, was lost in thought when the beads fell onto the table with a clatter.

Elizabeth looked at Lin Chen in disbelief, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.

Angers calmly put down his phone and laughed with relief.

Frost panicked: "What are you looking at? What happened?"

Angers shrugged: "Your phone is ringing too. You can see for yourself what's going on."

Frost was starting to panic; he felt the situation was spiraling out of his control.

“What have you done, Angers!” Frost glared at Angers. “The voting is over. Even if you resort to dirty tricks, you can’t change the outcome unless you turn against the Secret Party!”

Angers shook his head: "I have no tricks up my sleeve, and I will not turn against the Secret Party. You should ask yourself that question!"
