Salute To The General

Chapter 1721

The next day, at the cabinet meeting. Hansel and another eight cabinet members expected Clifford to be absent from the meeting due to the demise of his son.

Unexpectedly, Clifford showed up. He looked dignified in his suit and tie and sported his usual stern look, except his expression was rather grim. Hansel frowned.
