The man in the sportswear sighed: "Frost, it's over."

Elizabeth also said, "He's here, you've lost!"

"Who is he! What are you talking about!" Frost was furious.

Angers sighed helplessly, "I really don't understand why the Gattuso family chose you as the acting head of the family. Can't you even look at your phone yourself?"

Frost's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

It wasn't that he didn't want to see it, but that he was afraid to.

Judging from the reactions of the school board members, he felt that the situation was beyond his expectations.

According to his calculations, this was the end of the story; he had won.

But now everything has changed. Everyone has received a message, and the message contains something they didn't expect!

He reached for his phone to check the situation, but Charlotte had already handed it to him.

Frost saw the contents of the screen; it was an email.

The email was unsigned and had no origin, but it was accompanied by the World Tree logo.

Unlike the World Tree symbol at Kassel College, this is the World Tree at its peak.

This is an email from the seventh mysterious school board member, sent to the inboxes of every colleague.

The content of the email was not complicated.

"At the school board hearing, the Gattuso family's proposal was opposed."

Frost's eyes were unfocused, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

This email was sent to the mailbox of every school board member, and it was no surprise that it came from the seventh mysterious school board member. Only such a mysterious school board member could have such power.

He thought he had everything planned out, but he never expected that this quiet school board member would speak out at this moment.

"No!" Frost slammed his fist on the table. "There are only us in this meeting room. The seventh board member isn't here. How did he know about my proposal?"

Angers lit a new cigar: "I knew what you were thinking before the meeting, so I casually sent it to the mysterious school board member. It seems he's quite interested in this matter as well!"

“You…” Frost’s eyes blazed with fury.

He angrily wanted to rush towards Angers, but reason kept him in place.

No one dares to challenge Angers in the realm of Time Zero, not even Kuaishou Henkel.

Angers shrugged: "You're too hasty. The vote is only just over. It's four to three. Your proposal is invalid!"

Frost clenched his fists, his face filled with resentment!

“That’s enough!” said the man in the sportswear. “Frost, you’ve lost.”

Elizabeth nodded: "The voting results are in, and all school board members must abide by them. Is the Gattuso family going to break the rules? If so, the school board will remove the Gattuso family's seat!"

Frost was speechless.

He has already lost the vote; the outcome cannot be allowed to continue spiraling out of control.

He couldn't afford to offend any of the school board members present, so he could only turn around and glare at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen calmly continued eating sunflower seeds, spitting out a shell when Frost looked over.

Frost's anger was reignited, and he brandished his cane, ready to charge forward, but was startled by the sudden slapping sound.

"Enough!" Angers said sternly. "You're so old you're almost in your grave. Are you going to act like a child and throw a tantrum?"

The old man, who was holding prayer beads, shook his head and then closed his eyes.

Frost hung his head; he had utterly lost face today.

He regained his senses and walked to his seat.

Angers' ringing of the bell re-attracted everyone's attention, signifying that the meeting was back on track.

"The result is now clear: three votes in favor, four votes against. The Gattuso family's proposal is invalid and rejected. I will take Lin Chen back to Kassel College!"

No one spoke; they acquiesced to the final outcome.

Frost rang the bell, and by then he had become much more obedient.

"Although my proposal was invalid, as a member of the board of directors, I hope that Kassel College will conduct a further investigation into Lin Chen."

Angers rang the bell: "What do you mean?"

Frost rang the bell: "He entered Odin's Nibelungen. Even if he didn't come into contact with Odin, there are many things worth investigating. As the school, it's perfectly reasonable for them to investigate!"

Angers gave Frost a meaningful look, and the acting head of the family finally lowered his proud head.

His original intention was to take Lin Chen away and completely destroy him.

But at this point, this idea was already a pipe dream, but he didn't want it to end so easily, even if it meant causing Lin Chen some trouble at the end.

This was a completely meaningless move; in Angers' view, Frost was simply trying to save face for the Gattuso family.

“No problem!” Angers said. “I’ll arrange it.”

……

The board meeting concluded near noon, and the board members returned to their respective lounges.

Lin Chen stretched, feeling that he had witnessed a good show that morning.

Even those at the top of the pyramid, when they get together, will argue and quarrel just like those at the bottom.

Lin Chen wanted to return to the lounge to rest, but was suddenly blocked by the girl Charlotte.

"Lin Chen! You're so lucky! You managed to dodge this! I almost thought I'd never see you again!"

Lin Chen joked, "Is it necessarily luck? What if it's just my own hard work?"

Charlotte was stunned: "Really? You sent the mysterious school board member out?"

Lin Chen was both amused and exasperated; Charlotte really was just a child.

The butler quickly pulled Charlotte back: "Miss, this is not a question you should be asking!"

"I'm just curious!" Charlotte said. "If the Gattuso family can be humiliated like this, what else can't happen today!"

The butler raised his voice slightly: "Miss!"

Charlotte was at her wit's end: "Lin Chen, I'll come hang out with you again sometime. You're so handsome! Have you ever considered acting in a movie? I can invest in it for you..."

Charlotte wanted to say something more, but the butler had already pulled her away.

It's clear that the steward carries a lot of weight; this Grand Steward generally wields more power than the young master.

Every family has its own troubles, let alone such a prosperous family.

Lin Chen could only wave goodbye to Charlotte, then watch Angers and Elizabeth walk to the side.

Elizabeth opened her mouth as if to say something; her shock was no less than that of the other school board members. At this moment, she had so much she wanted to know.

Angers shook his head immediately: "Let's go inside and talk."

The three entered the lounge, and the heavy stone door closed, finally allowing Angers to breathe a sigh of relief.

Elizabeth looked directly at Angers: "Headmaster, this mysterious school board member hasn't appeared for many years, has he? How did you manage to persuade him to vote?"

"Persuade him? I don't have that ability."

Elizabeth was puzzled: "But didn't you say that you sent the message to the mysterious school board member in advance, so that he could vote remotely at the crucial moment?"

“No.” Angers smiled bitterly. “I have never had any contact with him from beginning to end. The mysterious school board member appeared on his own initiative!”

Elizabeth's beautiful brows furrowed: "How could that be? Who else but you would pass on the message to him and even get him to vote..."

Elizabeth's voice abruptly stopped; she suddenly remembered there was another person in the room!

70: The sensible third wheel is hot! Elizabeth's heart flutters!

Elizabeth turned around abruptly and looked at Lin Chen behind her.

He never gave Lin Chen a second glance, thinking of Lin Chen as just a student of Kassel College.

Even though Lin Chen is an S-rank, nothing has changed. Given Elizabeth's status, she is surrounded by many S-rank individuals.

But at this moment, Elizabeth suddenly felt that she couldn't see through the man in front of her.

This was a board meeting convened specifically for him; it was the first time since the school's founding that anyone had received such treatment.

This is the grandest meeting in the world of hybrids, where the leaders of the Secret Party have gathered.

Even Elizabeth didn't have the courage to face the judgment of all the school board members.

Throughout the entire meeting, Lin Chen simply sat quietly, even having the leisure to eat sunflower seeds.

Even someone as strong as Angers had a brief change in expression, but Lin Chen maintained an astonishing calm.

It was as if he knew he was safe, and in his eyes Frost was like a clown.

Elizabeth stared into Lin Chen's eyes: "Did the mysterious school board member show up for you? Did you already know everything that happened today?"

Lin Chen tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Maybe he's just in a good mood and wants to make his presence known. After all, he hasn't attended the board meeting for many years, so he might want to prove that he's still alive!"

Elizabeth shook her head, a glint of wisdom flashing in her eyes: "Although I have never met him, those who can serve as school board members are not idle people. The reason you gave is too far-fetched!"
