Salute To The General

Over the next two weeks, Cross Group's cancer medication research team cooperated with the team of royal physicians to treat the president.

During that period of time, Garrett's condition would improve at times and worsen at others. As he was being treated, he also discussed the matter of his successor with the Cabinet as well as the military personnel.

Nathan and Zion who was the cabinet secretary had a lot of supporters, so it was natural that they were popular choices of the presidential candidates. Unfortunately, Nathan had publicly claimed that he wouldn't be running for president, so Garrett had no choice but to vouch for Erwin.

For a moment there, the debate about whether Zion or Erwin would be the next president became a hot topic.

Tension began rising from the supporters of both sides.

It got to the point where some even got into fights due to their political differences.

Luckily, Zion was usually grounded, and Erwin was known for keeping a low profile. They both did their best to calm the crowd, allowing the conflict from their supporters to remain under control.

Nevertheless, controlling their supporters didn't mean that Zion and Erwin would become friends. Their mutual hatred bloomed, and conflict rose.

In Zion's opinion, he would be fine if he were to compete against Nathan for the role of the president. He would even be fine with losing the job to the Chief Military Governor.

But who the hell does Erwin think he is? That guy is the least powerful member of the Cabinet, so why is the president on his side?

That thought was what upset Zion.
