Langston glared at Skylar as he approached Norman. He said, “Norman, you have to keep your
priorities straight. We must welcome the honored guest for now. You can deal with the brat later.”
“Don’t worry, grandpa. I know what I’m doing,” Norman replied. He glared at Skylar once more before
suppressing his anger. The jeep pulled up and a man dressed in a uniform stepped out. He seemed to

made the situation more intriguing.
“Mr. Wintringham, welcome to my hometown,” Norman said with a smile. Milton nodded in response.
His attire made him seem like he was about to give a speech on stage. Norman turned around and
said, “Grandpa, father, this is the first Secretary of Defense, Mr. Wintrigham. It’s all thanks to him for his

Milton was attempting to flaunt his status, yet he froze as he looked into the distance. His pupils
contracted in shock as he felt cold sweat coursing down his back. He saw Skylar amongst the crowd.

He gestured to lead the way but Milton did not respond. As the crowd began to notice something was

“Mr. Wintringham knows Skylar?” Langston asked. “It depends. If they aren’t friends, then they are

“It’s dead obvious that Mr. Wintringham is about to settle a score with Skylar for what he’s done.”
“Now that Norman and Mr. Wintringham are after Skylar, he’s certainly a dead man.”
The crowd was certain of the events that were about to take place. However, they were astonished as
the unexpected had happened. Milton stood before Skylar and bowed. “Mr. Stone, it’s an honor to meet
you here!” Milton greeted Skylar with the utmost respect.
