âYes, yes, yes! Thatâs so true!â
Greg nodded in agreement and then said to the crowd, âHe is the Secretary of Defense under General Philbert. He has just made a great achievement not long ago. It is estimated that he will become a major soon.â
When the crowd heard that, they hurriedly rose to welcome Milton.
âMr. Wintringham is only three years older than us, but he is already in such a high position, which really makes us ashamed!â
âMr. Wintringham has an extraordinary temperament and is deeply appreciated by General Philbert, so how can he be compared to us?â
âThatâs right, Mr. Wintringham is an eagle with wings spread by a roc, destined to fly higher and farther.â
The crowd was bragging, and Greg cast a glance at Skylar in triumph.
This time, Skylar had nothing to say, right?
Even Ingram, Valerie and Zera had to admit that Milton looked more like a general who had been in the battlefield for a long time.
Just from the appearance, Skylar and Milton were not comparable.
Not to mention Miltonâs appalling title.
âThanks for your compliments! Iâm serving my country just like everyone else. Itâs just a different division of labor.â
Milton spoke humbly.
However, when he finished speaking, turned to look at the person who wore army green uniform.
Everyone in the room stood up, but this man sat steadily and even calmly picked up the dish he liked in front of him and put it into his mouth.
Milton frowned.
Everyone could see it clearly.
âIs Skylar an idiot? How dare he sit and eat when a big shot from the military is here? No wonder he is still a small soldier until now!â
Many people gloated.
Ingram hurriedly touched Skylar.
But before Skylar could respond, Greg said to Milton, âThe one sitting here is my high school classmate who is engaged in literary creation in your system. Just before you came, I told him that a big shot from the same system as him was coming!
Gregâs words caused Miltonâs frown to deepen.
âSkylar, why are you still eating? Canât you see whoâs here?â
Greg pretended to remind.
In fact, he was waiting to see how Milton would make things difficult for Skylar.
Miltonâs nature was not as modest as it seemed.
A corporal who did not know the rules and fell into Miltonâs hands would never have any good consequence.
â
âSkylar, Mr. Greg specially introduced Mr. Wintringham to you. Donât be so arrogant! Even if you donât care about your career, when you see a big shot of the same system, you should get up and welcome him, shouldnât you? Even we have stood up, but you are still sitting and eating. Do you really think you are really something?â
A few of Gregâs henchmen also began to add fuel to the fire.
Skylar still did what he wanted.
Now, even Milton could not pretend anymore. His sleeve was flung, and he said coldly, âSkylar? Which team are you from? Why donât you even get up when you see me? Tell me the name of your leader, and I will ask him now how he usually disciplines his men!â
Skylar put down his spoons, wiped his mouth, and sneered, âIâm afraid Iâll scare you if I tell you the person who can be my leader.â
