Leo smiled, shaking the hands of the crowd surging forward to greet him one by one.
The people here all held positions of some amount of power, yet all of them seemed meek, greeting Leo obediently like little children.
It was important to note that Leo was close to the president and was due to become the defense minister, and people like them were a far cry in comparison.
Besides, Leo was only in his thirties and had gotten to such a high position. His future was unmistakably bright.
It would only do them well to get in his good books.
Leo himself had a winning smile on his face as well, greeting the crowd one by one.
Wilbur smirked at the sight.
Leo definitely knew how to be a politician, with the way he socialized with the public.
The people crowded forward, practically fighting to ask him even the most basic of questions. They were clearly putting him on a pedestal.
Leo was a national hero who had saved the people from a powerful evil force, and no one could compare to him.
Wilbur could not help but sneer.
What the hell was Leo doing when Maddox was still around?
Why was he getting all the credit?
Of course, Wilbur did not say anything about it. After all, he was just showing up for a while.
These people were free to do or say whatever they wanted.
Just then, however, an official close to Wilbur shouted at him, "Why do you have that look on your face? Do you have a bone to pick with General Emer?"
Wilbur raised an eyebrow, looking at the man who shouted, then at Leo. "Dude, are you seriously using me to draw the guy's attention just because you couldn't gain his favor?"
"Ha! Tell me your name, I'd like to know just who you are to disrespect General Emer's name like this," the official retorted loudly.
