With Master Qin's death, the Alchemist Guild had to choose a new President.
The Deacon Council had nominated Jiang Chen, and Zhang Sheng of the Elder Council had just withdrawn from the election.
Thus, only Jiang Chen and the two Vice Presidents were left.
The two Vice Presidents had always been considered strong candidates for the presidency.
Barring any special circumstances, one of the Vice Presidents would typically become the next President.
One of the two Vice Presidents was a skinny old man named Shen Mi.
The other was a middle-aged man with a pale, sinister complexion, named Qiu Baxiong.
And so, the three candidates in the election were Jiang Chen, Shen Mi, and Qiu Baxiong.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall grew heavy.
Both Shen Mi and Qiu Baxiong had coveted the position of President for a long time.
With a new President to be chosen, they were determined to compete at all costs.
Shen Mi was the first to speak.
