CHAPTER 566: 158. THE SO-CALLED "PRESIDENT

"Sha...Sha..."

"It’s the President, the President has gone by."

"The President has stepped in, don’t speak for now!"

As Yan Huan approached expressionlessly, the surrounding whispers quieted down significantly, all eyes turning towards the center.

Holding her folding fan, Sakuragi Yuri glanced at the eager eyes of the surrounding girls, raised her eyebrows, seemingly deep in thought.

"Sha...Sha..."

Behind the utterly despairing Spencer, footsteps approached gradually.

She paid no attention, but as the footsteps drew closer, her shoulder was gently tapped.

"Uh..."

The touch was light, yet it provided a lifeline for Spencer, drowning as she was, allowing her to momentarily escape her choking ordeal.

With tears streaming down her face, she looked up, only to see the distorted, wriggling silhouette of a peacock.

She recognized it at once, it was Yan Huan.

"Yan...uh...uhuh..."

For some reason, upon seeing the distorted peacock, Spencer felt an uncontrollable burst of emotion, her tear ducts completely collapsing.

It was almost better before she came, now it made her cry even harder.

Tears fell even more turbulently, impossible to wipe away completely.

"Uhuhuh..."

Yan Huan stepped in front of her, silently shielding her from all the prying eyes.

Turning back to look at her deeply aggrieved expression, Yan Huan’s cold demeanor slightly softened as he whispered,

"Don’t cry, I’m here."

"Uh..."

"Ka...Ka..."

With Yan Huan’s arrival and comforting words, and the surrounding ridicule dying down, Spencer’s emotions began to stabilize.

Although the modifier was still cracking, it was not rejected outward anymore.

Even if it was just a little, this meant Spencer’s heart was slightly relieved by Yan Huan’s arrival.

But Yan Huan did not even glance at the modifier on her, instead, he turned to face the crowd ahead.

"..."

"President..."

Seeing Yan Huan look over expressionlessly, Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino’s faces turned pale.

Yan Huan glanced at them briefly before shifting his gaze to Owen standing behind them.

"..."

Yes, this issue wasn’t just caused by the two from the Hentai Club; Track and Field Club’s Hua Zhaofeng was also involved.

Feeling Yan Huan’s gaze, Owen inhaled deeply and walked towards them.

Passing Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino, he scoffed and said,

"Stay away."

"..."

Both were frightened and retreated with disheveled appearances.

Owen reached Yan Huan, glanced at him, didn’t speak but first pointed at the microphone on his collar.

Yan Huan glanced at his microphone and responded,

"It’s off."

"Good."

Today most of Yuan Yue’s parents were here, nearly half of Lin Gate’s powerful people were present; a big scene would have caused serious problems.

Though it was already quite a mess.

But at least the earlier argument wasn’t overheard by the people above, they could only roughly see from a distance, still leaving room for manoeuver.

Owen folded his arms and directly addressed Yan Huan,

"Yan Huan, I can tell you, neither I nor the entire Track and Field Club had any knowledge of this, it was Hua Zhaofeng’s personal act."

While speaking, he frowned and glanced at Hua Zhaofeng at the edge of the Track and Field Club.

Hua Zhaofeng pursed his lips, his complexion pale as he slumped in his seat.

Yan Huan noticed his expression and believed what he was told,

"..."

Then Owen also turned his head and continued,

"And believe me, without you having to say it, both Hua Zhaofeng and those two jerks from the Hentai Club won’t be spared by the Golden Lion Group."

Listening to Owen’s explanation, Yan Huan raised his eyebrows but retorted,

"So what?"

Owen looked directly at Yan Huan, paused for a second, and said,

"So, Yan Huan, let’s stop here, shall we?"

"Stop here... you mean, declare the Track and Field Club the winner and then end everything?"

"Besides this, do you see any other way out at this moment?"

"What if I say no?"

Hearing this, Owen seemed not at all surprised.

Because this wasn’t the first confrontation between him and Yan Huan, nor was it the start of their disagreements.

From the moment Yan Huan defeated Owen in the student council elections becoming this term’s President, there had been a hidden tension between them.

Owen rubbed his forehead, took a deep breath, and said,

"I understand, to be honest, I’m also angry about what Hua Zhaofeng did.

"But Yan Huan, sometimes you can’t just look at right or wrong, you must consider the pros and cons.

"You can’t solve everything perfectly, compromises have to be made."

Saying this, Owen pointed towards Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino besides Yan Huan, and said,

"First, to set up a club, at least four people are needed.

"The Hentai Club originally had five members, now with two gone, you can say the club is practically dissolved.

"Okay, even if you don’t consider their lack of formal paperwork to exit the club enough, and want to continue, do you think they can compete in that state?"

Owen looked straight at Yan Huan, pointing upwards towards the bleachers,

"Secondly, Yan Huan, do you know how many people from freshmen to seniors in the whole school dislike Spencer?

"You heard it, didn’t you, the voices of others on the stage?

"The students can’t wait for her to leave immediately, if you held a vote, do you believe ninety-nine percent wouldn’t want her gone now?"
