Chapter 825 - I'm Fikin's Best Friend

Suddenly, Rean received a message from Sevinia. Or, to be more precise, from Qia, who was still there to help exchange information in an instant. 'Wait...what?! Fikin is dead?!' Rean, of course, was shocked by the news. 'Alright, I'll tell everyone.'

Naturally, Phex, Frin, and Xaon were just as surprised.

Rean then looked at Phex's group as he asked, "Was it any of you? Perhaps...it might be Darian?"

They immediately shook their heads vigorously as Phex replied, "We don't even know where he went, so how could we have done it? Unless...he suddenly died from the injuries he sustained during our battle. As for Darian, he's busy with the Sea Demon Beasts' territory. It would be even more impossible for him."

Roan doubted that as well, saying, "I don't think he would die from injuries."

"We also thought the same thing," Phex and the others said in unison. "But then again, who could have killed him?"

It was then that they thought of a possibility. "Could it be that guy named Duran?" Of course, even though they mentioned him, there was no way to check it.

"However, our Soul Rulers organization can't go without a leader. It had always been like that, and it should continue like that. Otherwise, we might fall apart. If that happens, we'll really be doomed to fall under the hands of the demon beasts. I believe no one here wishes for that to happen, right?"

Sure enough, everyone in the room nodded. Even without the Soul Control Formations, the Soul Rulers had gathered enough strength to be the leader of the Zasfins of the world. Well, half of the world wasn't theirs anymore, though.

"Very well. When it comes to strength alone, Fikin was above us all. However, the rest of us aren't that much different. It all falls into who has the best affinity against the other. That being said, we can't use these criteria to choose the next leader. Instead, I would like to call for a voting session."

Immediately, the room went alive as everyone displayed their concerns for that method. After all, it was a fact that some clans had more members than others, so they would stand a higher chance of being selected.

"Silence! This is the best method. Even if some clans have more members, it's not like they're the only ones. I'm sure quite a lot of you have your own opinion as to who should be the next leader, and it might not even be someone from the same background as you. Unless someone has a better idea, we will proceed with voting. Now, who wants to participate? The only requisite is to be above the Elemental Transformation Realm."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the entire hall as it said, "I recommend Vance Hafel for the position. I hope everyone will give your vote to him."

There wasn't anything wrong with that request since the leader was going to be chosen by vote. However, the problem was that no one knew who the man that talked was.

Pankun narrowed his eyes in response as he asked, "Who are you?"

The old man smiled before answering, "I'm Fikin's best friend, Duran Hafel."
