Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2657 Corbin looked over coldly and snorted, "I've never claimed to be the Director. Mr. Livingston's passing grieves me more than anyone else. And it's exactly because of that grief that seeing traitors like you splitting the Advanced Medical Institute apart fills me with outrage. "Today, I'm stepping forward to take charge of this situation to honor Mr. Livingston's memory. We cannot let the Institute fall apart just because he's gone.

We have to show him that the Institute is still thriving and still one of the great forces in the martial world." These words immediately drew cheers of approval. "Well said!" "The Grand Elder is right. We must let Mr. Livingston rest in peace. Crush the traitors and protect the Grand Elder!!" The disciples supporting Corbin immediately raised their arms and shouted, their faces flushed with excitement. Andrew shook his head from within the crowd, knowing these disciples had no real significance. Whether Corbin or Koda won, the benefits would never reach them.

They were nothing but expendable foot soldiers who were getting fired up over a battle ---- that would only kill them first. Just then, a loud series of slams echoed through the hall. Both Corbin and Koda snapped their gaze toward the sound. Jerome leaned in close and muttered to Andrew, "Andy, we should step back. Milo's about to make a fool of himself." Andrew noticed it too. Milo had chosen the worst possible moment to draw attention to himself. Even if Corbin and Koda wanted to kill each other, they would probably join forces just to eliminate him first.

So Andrew did not hesitate and followed Jerome to the back of the crowd. Sometimes, it was wise to stay low. Corbin asked coldly, "Milo, what do you want to say?" Milo remained seated and was completely unbothered. He said, " Let me cut in for a moment. Aren't you two here to negotiate today? Why don't you both take my advice? Lay down your grudges and give me some face. We can calmly choose a new Director, close this chapter, and avoid bloodshed. How does that sound?" Corbin froze and stared at him like he was a complete idiot.

Koda smirked and slowly brushed his fingers along the heavy ---- sword beside him. "Mr. Avila, that's a nice thought." "Koda, speak up," Milo said with a proud grin. Koda replied, "I have two words for you: absolute garbage. Now, can you please shut up?" The hall erupted instantly, and several disciples even burst out laughing. Milo's face turned bright red as he shook with anger, pointing at Koda while stammering, "k-Koda, you..." Quinn hurried over and whispered, "Dad, please stop. If you try to take charge now, you're basically asking to be killed." However, Milo roared, "Bullshit!

Do you really think | have no leverage? Corbin and Koda aren't the only powerhouses in the Institute anymore. | can stand shoulder to shoulder with them now!" Corbin sighed and said calmly, "Milo, you must be drunk. Sit down. We have serious matters to discuss, and we don't intend to stoop to your level."
