86 Gao Quans Plan (2/2)

”Chancellor… do you really want to handle the matter this way?”

Looking at the sky faraway, without turning his head, the Vice-Chancellor replied calmly, ”Are you afraid?”

”A little bit, yes.” The middle-aged man in black laughed bitterly. ”Wang Baole is now the only Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament faculty, and he amazed everyone with his moves in the match several days ago. Therefore, he can be considered a hot favorite in the Dao College right now, so why should we find trouble with him again?

”Even if we cancel his eligibility in the rankings, it will be little use. The very next day, the Chancellor will definitely be angered, not only punishing you, but also restoring his eligibility instantly.”

The middle-aged man in black was confused as he tried to persuade the Vice-Chancellor after mustering his courage.

”What's more… Lin Tianhao's student status has already been revoked…”

The middle-aged man in black did not complete his sentence. In reality, he would never have dared mention it previously. However, he genuinely did not want to provoke Wang Baole any further, and he had long ascertained that Wang Baole would definitely gain admission to the Upper Academy island. It was not worthwhile for him to form another enemy this way. However, he was also helpless as he had to obey the Vice-Chancellor. Therefore, he wanted to try to persuade the Vice-Chancellor to change his mind.

”Lin Tianhao?” Hearing the man in black's words, the Vice-Chancellor laughed, a look of disdain that was not visible to others forming in his eyes. ”Say no more. You only need to tell me whether you will do it or not.”

Turning his head, Gao Quan stared coldly at the middle-aged man in black. Immediately, the middle-aged man in black felt immense pressure, as beads of perspiration formed on his forehead.

After a brief moment, he gritted his teeth and replied, ”Yes, sir!”

”Then do it. You have three days. Once the rankings are out, I want to see results.” Retracting his glare, Gao Quan spoke emotionlessly. The middle-aged man in black felt terrible, but he knew that he had no other choice as he nodded and quickly left to prepare for his tasks.

The look of disdain in Gao Quan's eyes became more obvious when the middle-aged man in black had left.

Do you really think that I am so lowly to go to the extent of pleasing the son in order to suck up to the senator?

I am without a choice, since that Chancellor who thinks that everything is under his control wants to see me adding value to myself.

That old man… he thinks that I don't know that it's his tactic to keep subordinates close before killing them, Gao Quan thought as the look of disdain disappeared, replaced by a gloomy ferocity.

Wang Baole's position will indeed be restored quickly, but if I don't try to suppress it, if I don't create enemies, if I don't add value to myself… the old Chancellor will see the value of his fruit of labor diminishing. He will definitely be unhappy, and if he abandons me for cheap, won't he lose out?

Gao Quan clenched his fists.

The more enemies I have and the more people I provoke, the more others will want to eliminate me. However, even before they can do anything, they will need the Chancellor's approval. After all, on the Lower Academy Island, even though the Chancellor is not absolute, he is still extremely powerful.

As long as someone wants to come after me, they must negotiate with the Chancellor. The more enemies that I have and the more ruthless and thorough I am, the more people will hate me. This way, my value will increase, such that when he is negotiating with others, his gains will be greater. This is especially so as I can see that the Chancellor is of the view that Wang Baole will become the one negotiating with him in the future.

Following this logic, the greater my value, the fewer people will be able to afford to come after me. I will then have more time to plan for the future.

Just give me more time so that I can escape this place!

The ferocity in Gao Quan's eyes intensified, and he became even more ruthless. He already felt threatened, worrying that he would be eliminated by the Chancellor even before he was posted elsewhere. That was why he wanted to bank on Wang Baole's matter to increase his personal value. He knew the Chancellor like the back of his hand, understanding that his moves would definitely halt the thought of the Chancellor eliminating him in favor of reaping greater benefits.

As for Wang Baole, he was indeed no small fry. However, Wang Baole was nothing compared to his own past.

Even if he's the only Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament, even if he amazed everyone in his match, so what? I might only be in the early-stage of True Breath while he's at the peak of the Ancient Martial realm, but there will definitely be differences in our skill. His failure at retaliating means that he can only bear with it for the time moment since he has not reached True Breath yet!

So what if I find trouble with him? Even if he really attains True Breath in the future and wants to seek vengeance, he will have to wait until he gains firm footing on the Upper Academy Island. By then, I will have long since left. As for what happens after that…

Gao Quan closed his eyes, his lips curling into a smirk.

He might have lost the right to take revenge then!
