Chapter 121 - no: 35 People, 78 Guns 2
They formed an alliance, standing together through thick and thin.
The “New Blood Mutual Aid Association” members gradually arrived at the station, finding their own circles and blending in.
Robin Grayam and Eugene Delarosa were encircled round after round.
This resulted in an evenly matched situation on both sides.
Other potential chairman candidates reacted differently to this situation.
Some gave the competition careful thought and chose to withdraw from the race, switching their support to Robin Grayam or Eugene Delarosa;
Some still wanted to have a go, hoping for a one in a million chance.
However, based on various indications, this chance is even slimmer than one in a million.
Unless there was an unexpected twist, the race for the chairmanship of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association” would unfold between Robin Grayam and Eugene Delarosa.
Since neither of them has gained an absolute advantage, it’s very likely that they would have to resort to a secret ballot by all the members.
However, surprises always happen.
Just as the chairman’s election meeting was about to start, Witch Ayla, leading Lanny Taylor, who was veiled, arrived at the station of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”.
Witch Ayla was the Association’s president for the last two terms.
Everyone present had seen her photo and biography, so there was no way they wouldn’t recognize her.
“Hello, Witch Ayla.”
“Greetings, Witch Ayla.”
“Good morning, Witch Ayla.”
All the second and third-year wizard apprentices rushed to greet her, afraid that being the last would leave a bad impression.
“Mm.”
Witch Ayla responded casually without warmth, not in the least bit friendly her face sternly set and her eyes chilling.
An invisible aura radiated from her.

Everyone felt as if they are in a cold pit, shivering and filled with unease.
Who had provoked Witch Ayla?
Why was she so upset?
“The chairman and vice-chairman election will be postponed, it will not be held for now,” Witch Ayla issued a command in a deep voice after taking a seat in the special height chair that belonged to the president of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”, “Two months later, whoever achieves a good ranking in the inter-district contest will have the hope of serving as the chairman or vice chairman, all other discussions are unnecessary.”
“My words end there.”
“Who agrees?”
“Who disagrees?”
Witch Ayla looked around at the second and third-year new blood wizards who, under her oppressive aura, were as timid as quails. She felt greatly disappointed.
At the same time, some regrets surfaced in her heart. Before she entered Senior Division, she had strongly supported Antoine Hilton to become the vice president.
In less than three years, a formerly promising “New Blood Mutual Aid Association” had deteriorated to this state.
Everyone present was a core member, yet none could resist the pressure emanating from her like Link Grande did.
Disappointment to the extreme!
“Let it be.”
Witch Ayla, dispirited and no longer in the mood to reprimand anyone, gave a cold instruction, “Register Lanny Taylor as a member and send an invitation to Jasmine Kidman to rejoin the association’s activities.
In addition, don’t let me hear even the slightest rumor of you creating disorder. Otherwise…”
Giving the president’s chair a light tap, Witch Ayla rose and left.
It wasn’t until every trace of the pressure she left behind had completely vanished that the silent second and third-year new blood wizards could finally breathe a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden was lifted from their shoulders.
Perhaps because the sudden rush of people breathing caused too much air fluctuation, the high chair reserved for the Association’s president crumbled into a pile of sawdust in an instant.
The members who had just relaxed had a sudden jolt of tension and fear.
Witch Ayla’s warning deeply imprinted itself in their hearts.
Create chaos and disorder?
They might end up like the sawdust everywhere.
A moment later, Eugene Delarosa was the first to recover and darted to the veiled LannyTaylor, “Sister Taylor, let me handle your registration process.” Only then did Robin Grayam snap back from his shock and hurried to Lanny Taylor’s side, competing assertively, “Let me handle Sister’s registration.”
A dispute ensued.
Lanny Taylor looked on coldly.
Beneath the veil, her beautiful face remained calm and her inner thoughts undisturbed.
If it weren t for Witch Ayla personally stepping in, representing Wizard Palo to extend an invitation, and offering tangible resources and support,
Lanny Taylor wouldn’t have even bothered with these apprentice organizations that were all smoke and noise.
North District, “Pure Blood Will” station.
Here, the situation was not as chaotic as the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”. Everything was in perfect order.
In the conference room,
Five management members gathered around a conference table.
At the head of the table, sat the current president of the “Pure Blood Will”, the third-class wizard apprentice in her third year, Tiffany Colonna.
The four vice presidents sat on either side of Tiffany Colonna.
Tiffany Colonna, tall and attractive, yet possessing an inherent dignity, spoke up, “Let’s discuss the inter-district contest. We received orders from above, if we have a chance, there is one person we definitely need to find a way to kill.”
“Link Grande.”
Seizing the hint, the first-ranked Vice President Hawk Lucia took over the conversation, “This man had a conflict with a member of our Lucia family so I know a little about him.
He originated from the Stormy Sea, was the third new blood from the freshman class to be promoted to a first-rank wizard apprentice, and he has intermediate fourth rank wizard qualifications.
This person is clever, cunning, ruthless, and vengeful, with a certain inclination towards violence.
In just one autumn term and vacation, there are three deaths that happened at his hand.
Furthermore, he has exceptional talent in academic research, botany, and potion study, a very high talent at that.”
