Whose life is this?

The moment Mani walked out of the room, those that remained exchanged eye contact. 

This was especially true for the commanders. All of them looked at Barbara with weird eyes. Their gaze saying what they really meant in their hearts. Then again, this could not be avoided. After all, none of them had ever disobeyed or gone against barbara like that.

That was a right that only her favorite, Mani, was capable of doing. 

Chiron gave a light cough, "Excuse me a bit!" he walked out of the meeting room. Immediately following after Mani.

"Can't we do it without him?" one of the commanders asked, his tone a very condescending one.

Amongst all that attended this meeting, Chiron and Mani were the only ones that were at the copper rank. All others were in the bronze rank.
