The School Beauty's Super Rogue

8:00 AM on the second day. Inside the conference hall at the Ancient Martial Alliance headquarters.

At this moment, everyone in the conference hall was present, but the hall was unusually quiet, not even a faint breath could be heard.

Those seated, all high-level figures, wore complex and sorrowful expressions, giving the atmosphere a hint of an impending storm.

The reason for this situation is simple.

Now, the news of Qi Tianzong's betrayal and death had already reached the ears of every high-ranking member.

Even elite members outside on assignments had heard the news.

There had been incidents of betrayal since the establishment of the Ancient Martial Alliance city all these years.

However, an example at the level of a Vice Alliance Leader had never occurred before.

Every time people thought of it, their hearts ached: Qi Tianzong, you're so high up, why play this betrayal game!

Unlike everyone else, Qin Hao remained his lazy self.

This time he wasn't late, but he still sat lazily at the end of the table, leaning back with eyes closed, seemingly napping.

People were not surprised by his actions, all wore gloomy faces, lost in their own thoughts.

Despite everyone's different expressions, the things on their minds were surprisingly consistent.

Qi Tianzong is dead, so who will replace the Vice Alliance Leader?

This question was what people were most concerned about; as for the former Vice Alliance Leader's death, it mattered little to them, after all, that old man left no good impression in life.

Just as people eagerly awaited who would take the position of "Vice Alliance Leader," Chen Ruohao, sitting at the head seat, spoke up: "I assume everyone has heard. I don't want to elaborate on the specifics."

No one spoke, everyone showed sympathy on their faces; clearly, the Alliance Leader was deeply pained by the betrayal, unwilling to even explain the situation clearly.

Qin Hao was the exception; he thought, "Deeply pained my foot, it's all about fearing exposure while using a borrowed knife to kill!"

Because of being used, Qin Hao felt a bit resentful, not holding Chen Ruohao in the same regard as before.

Chen Ruohao seemed to notice this. His eyes occasionally drifted towards Qin Hao, but the latter pretended to be resting, ignoring everything.

"Ahem ahem."

Chen Ruohao cleared his throat, "Though Qi Tianzong has died, the Alliance still exists, and everyone needs to contribute to Huaxia. Now that the Vice Alliance Leader position is vacant, does anyone have a suitable candidate?"

With these words, it was like a deep-water bomb thrown into the hall, instantly igniting people's enthusiasm for discussion.

The matter equivalent to an election is certainly exciting. Consequently, the high-levels whispered, their expressions and words like market vendors.

Soon, someone raised their hand and said, "I'm deeply saddened by Vice Leader Qi's death, but the Vice Alliance Leader position urgently needs filling. I think Hall Master Zhu Tao is the best!"

Below the Alliance Leader are the Hall Masters. Five Hall Masters oversee five halls. Zhu Tao is the Cyan Wood Hall Master, mainly responsible for intelligence work.

"I also choose Zhu Tao!"

"Me too! Hall Master Zhu Tao has the prestige and seniority, who better than him?"

Many people chimed in. They felt that since Zhu Tao was previously Qi Tianzong's capable subordinate, he couldn't assume the role himself, but having him replace was the best option.

Qin Hao opened his eyes, seeing a Fatty sitting diagonally across with a full face of smiles, he sneered inwardly but didn't rush to speak.

After Chen Ruohao coughed twice, the scene quieted down. He proclaimed loudly, "Your suggestions are insightful. Besides Hall Master Zhu, is there any other candidate?"

No one spoke, in terms of internal balance, seniority, and strength, Zhu Tao seemed the indisputable choice.

Many who intended to compete, due to a gap in popularity, chose to keep silent.

The atmosphere fell silent, everyone firmly believed Zhu Tao would become the new Vice Alliance Leader.

As for Zhu Tao himself, although maintaining a calm demeanor, the corners of his eyes slightly lifted, constantly revealing pride.

At this point, seeing no one else wished to speak, Chen Ruohao said: "Everyone's suggestions are great, Hall Master Zhu has performed exceptionally well. So, I choose Qin Hao for the Vice Alliance Leader position."

Boom!

Everyone's heads buzzed, momentarily thinking they misheard.

Chen Ruohao chuckled, and said again: "I choose Qin Hao as Vice Alliance Leader, does anyone have objections?"

Finally, everyone realized, they hadn't misheard.

The Alliance Leader has gone mad!

Getting a grasp on this fact, rather than being in shock, everyone was close to freaking out.

Regardless of Qin Hao's age and qualifications, his killing of Qi Tianzong was also suspect.

After all, news of their enmity had long spread. Given Qi Tianzong's character and position, there's no reason he would resist arrest.

Therefore, upon hearing Qi Tianzong died resisting arrest, everyone couldn't believe it.

Later, upon learning Qin Hao was the one carrying out the task, they faintly understood the reason.

Now, letting someone who killed the Vice Alliance Leader take the position?

Many thought Chen Ruohao had lost his mind.

Soon, someone stood up excitedly, "Alliance Leader, you must not do this! Steward Qin's age and experience are insufficient, I do not think he has the capability to act as Vice Alliance Leader!"

He was a former subordinate of Qi Tianzong, naturally unwilling to see an enemy rise.

"Yes, Alliance Leader! Besides, Vice Leader Qi always valued internal rules, I don't think he would resist capture!"

Another former subordinate of Qi Tianzong stood up, implying Qin Hao held personal grudges.

Among the agitated, Zhu Tao was the most furious one.

The position supposedly his was snatched by a murdering demon?

And by a newcomer who joined less than a month ago?

In his rage, he found it difficult to remain calm, he slapped the table and stood: "Alliance Leader, Qi Tianzong, holding such high stature as a Vice Leader in the Alliance, resisting capture would even be normal. I do not find Steward Qin killing him to be justified. Moreover, to step back, isn't there concrete evidence proving Vice Leader Qi's betrayal?"

This word was to clear Qi Tianzong's name, preventing Qin Hao from ascending smoothly.

"Right! Maybe Vice Leader Qi wasn't a traitor at all!"

"Without absolute evidence, how could we execute an internal member? Especially a high-ranking Vice Alliance Leader!"

"Alliance Leader, I think you should reconsider, Night Emperor isn't qualified to take the position!"

"Not only unqualified, I think he should be charged with 'using public office for private gain' and stripped of his current position!"

Qin Hao's rise was too abrupt, and he was utterly unconstrained, not bothering to establish good relations with the high-levels.

So when the opportunity came, there were many who chose to attack Qin Hao, to kick him while he's down.

Zhu Tao especially, with a cold face, questioned Qin Hao: "The report says, yesterday, there were no signs of a fight in the safe house; apart from the fatal wound, Vice Leader Qi had no other marks... Both conclusions show Vice Leader Qi did not resist capture at all; Steward Qin, you cruelly killed him for personal revenge!"
