The Demon Troopers! Yosef's blood raced with excitement when his dad agreed to deploy the family's private army.
With the formidable army and Apocalypse on my side, I will be able to take anyone down! They are way better than any special forces.
A foreboding smile broke out on Yosef's face as he thought of the sweet taste of victory. “I will bring Nathan's head to you, Dad. I will avenge our family!”
“All the best,” Clifford said.
The night passed and morning broke.
Clifford rose early and arrived at the Cabinet hall on time with Quent and the others.
Zion and the other Cabinet members were chatting in small groups when the secretary entered the hall.
President Woods would be here today with the newly appointed Chief Military Governor, so everyone was curious to find out who the man commanding the highest power was.
When the Cabinet members saw Clifford enter, they stood up and greeted him.
“Good morning, Mr. Davier.”
“Morning,” Clifford replied, surveying the crowd.
“Is the President here already? Does anyone know who the Chief Military Governor is?”
The people exchanged glances and shrugged. “Both of them have yet to arrive, Mr. Davier,”
Jothan, who was closest to Clifford and subservient to the latter, answered as he came fo rwa rd.
Clifford nodded at the docile man. “Let's just wait a little longer. There's still time before we start. I'm sure they'll be here soon.”
Quent reached out for the secretary's seat and pulled the chair for Clifford, who took his time to sit down.
Seeing Clifford seated, the other Cabinet members quickly brought him drinks and gathered around.
