Much to Sebastian’s surprise, the new president openly said those words to him in front of everyone else.
The entire hall fell silent.
Benedict, who was seated behind Sebastian, watched on with a stunned expression.
What in the world? Isn’t this ridiculous? Aside from the fact that there is no such precedent within the White House, Yariel doesn’t have any military experience at all. So how can he have a position in the House? Isn’t this pushing it too far?
Many among those present were both shocked and furious, primarily because they too coveted the position.
“Sir, have you truly given this decision due consideration? Given that Old Mr. Jadeson’s grandson has never been in the army before, how is he fit to assume that position? After all, this relates to the nation’s military matters!”
Those who were anxious began to protest even before Sebastian said a word.
Once doubt was cast upon Sebastian, many others in the hall supported the stance.
In summary, most of them felt that Sebastian wasn’t qualified for the role.
Throughout the exchange, Sebastian remained silent.
All he did was stare intently at the president. Losing his calm, an icy glint flashed in his eye.
Did he just put a target on my back in public? Interesting!
“Calm down, everyone. I’m aware that Yariel doesn’t have any military experience. However, he is an extremely smart man. Before he joined the government, he was Astoria’s most prominent businessman. All of you shouldn’t underestimate him. After all, it’s just military affairs. I’m sure he can get the hang of it in no time.”
Silas stood by his decision.
However, those words caused further anxiety among everyone present. Just when they were prepared to remonstrate further, a frosty voice pierced through the chaos in the chamber.
“Fine. There’s no need to vote then.”
The next moment, everyone watched as the young man they had just ridiculed, raised his hand and threw the votes he was holding away.
It drove everyone mad.
Two hours later, the elections finally ended. Benedict was elected to the Senate, while the Cabinet Council accepted a new member.
As for the House, Sebastian was chosen for it.
When all of them were leaving, Benedict caught up with Sebastian.
