Chapter 1888 80% Death Rate, Nightmare Level! A Scheme! (4)

”Thatʼs your problem now,” Yue Qiqiao said with a mischievous grin. ”Those who can become associate council members must have considerable strength, and theyʼre unlikely to be new students. So, youʼre in for some trouble.”

”Damn! This is such an unexpected situation,” Wang Teng said, shaking his head.

”But now that you mention it, it does seem a bit strange. Being an associate council member doesnʼt grant much power. Itʼs more like a qualification. Yet, it has caused you trouble. Is this a reward?” Yue Qiqiao pondered, looking perplexed. ”It feels rather odd.”

”Could it be that someone didnʼt want our boss to become a council member directly, so they set up this hurdle?” Wade suggested.

”Now that you mention it, thatʼs quite possible!” Yue Qiqiao furrowed her beautiful brows, her expression filled with suspicion. ”Could it be that someone didnʼt want you to become a council member directly, so they made you an associate council member? It satisfies the academyʼs reward requirements and also puts a hold on you, a win-win situation.”

Everyone was smart so they quickly figured out the internal dynamics of the Arbitration Association with just a few sentences and speculated about what was happening.

”So… someone is plotting against me?” Wang Teng squinted his eyes.

He detested being manipulated by others, no matter who they were.

He would rather not have this associate council member status than let someone easily manipulate him.

”Iʼm afraid only The Seven Judges can do this.” Yue Qiqiaoʼs gaze turned complicated. She had originally thought that Wang Teng becoming an associate council member was a good thing, but now it seemed that it might not be.

Given Wang Tengʼs temperament, being manipulated by others, even if it were the Seven Judges, was not something he could easily swallow.

”The Seven Judges! Hmph~” Wang Teng suddenly chuckled. ”I donʼt seem to have any connection with them, do I?”

”You canʼt say that. Youʼre a genius who has made it onto the Star Rankings, and there have been some rumors circulating outside…” Yue Qiqiao hesitated for a moment.

”What rumor?” Wang Teng asked calmly.

”Some people say that you will most likely replace one of the judges and become the new one!” Yue Qiqiao took a deep breath and said.

”Me, becoming a new Judge?” Wang Teng laughed.

This was quite the flattery!

He had no idea that people were talking about him behind his back like this!

”These are just some small rumors. I originally didnʼt take them seriously, but now…” Yue Qiqiao shook her head helplessly.

Some rumors werenʼt credible at first, but since they had appeared, there were bound to be people who felt uncomfortable.

Especially for those in high positions.

”This associate council member status has indeed become a hot potato.” Wang Teng uttered with a light smile.

”This is an open trap that forces you to take it.” Yue Qiqiao said.

”No, youʼre wrong. I can choose not to accept it.” Wang Tengʼs expression gradually became serious, and he said calmly.

”You mean…” Yue Qiqiaoʼs eyes widened in shock, looking at Wang Teng with disbelief.

That was the Academy Arbitration Association!

Could it be…

”Iʼm just about to go on a mission, so Iʼll set this designation aside for now,” Wang Teng said casually. ”If I donʼt register with the Academy Arbitration Association, I wonʼt be an associate council member yet.”

”Iʼd like to see how they explain this to the academy later.”

As he spoke, a sneering smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.

”But by doing this, youʼre essentially offending the higher-ups,” Yue Qiqiao said with a sense of shock.

”Yeah, Boss, you…” Wade also found this matter extremely tricky. Even with his admiration for Wang Teng, he had to admit that the Academy Arbitration Association was probably not something Wang Teng could afford to provoke. However, when he saw Wang Tengʼs eyes, he repressed his words.

The pride in those eyes seemed unshakable by anything.

He knew Wang Teng was an extremely proud person, and this pride was not superficial but came from within, engraved in his bones.

Such people couldnʼt be persuaded.

They wouldnʼt bow to anyone!

Even if the enemy was terrifying!

”Donʼt worry, even if itʼs those few people, if they want to plot against me, they should be prepared to suffer the price,” Wang Teng uttered calmly.
