No one could refuse Nathan's terms!
Leopold regained his composure and said, "If that's the case, then it's for the best."
Behind Leopold, the captain of the guard's phone rang. After answering and listening for a moment, he leaned in and whispered something into Leopold's ear.
Leopold's expression immediately turned serious.
He put down his glass and said to Nathan, "It seems there's another unexpected situation. Wolfric, Mr. Zach Hill, and the Earth Alliance War Gods have been ordered to assemble urgently. I need to go back and see what's going on."
Nathan stood up to see him off. "Okay, if you encounter any trouble and need my help, don't hesitate to let me know."
With a smile, Leopold said, "I certainly won't stand on ceremony with you."
In the Earth Alliance Headquarters, a large number of War Gods had already assembled.
Inside the command room, Wolfric, Zach, and several other important Earth Alliance commanders had arrived.
Only Leopold was missing.
Wolfric voiced his displeasure, "If I'm not mistaken, Leopold is the duty officer tonight. Why isn't he here when there's a situation?"
Reeking of alcohol, Leopold walked in from the door right after he spoke.
"Haha, I'm here!"
Wolfric caught a whiff of the alcohol on Leopold and furrowed his brow even more. "General Remington, did you drink while on duty? Are you joking with the safety of the Earth?"
Leopold chuckled. "I just learned that there might be extraterrestrial enemies infiltrating Earth. So, I went to report the situation to Mr. Cross and had a couple of drinks with him. He has promised to help if there's trouble."
Nathan? Him again!
