Norman approached Skylar after saying his words. Naomi, who was standing beside Skylar, felt immense pressure. She wanted to speak but failed to do so. The crowd could feel Normanâs imposing wrath. A sense of danger lingered in the air.Nathaniel and Winona were worried. They swiftly approached Spencer and said, âSpencer, Skylar is still young.

It was set in stone and heâll be promoted as soon as he returns to the military. That meant that he would be stepping into the core and obtaining unrivaled power. Only a few would be ranked higher than him, but he would have the authority to ask for assistance from the general himself.âNorman, donât be mad. Perhaps his position is something that we inquire about.â Megan said. Norman frowned and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
