Outside the hospital, two military vehicles came to a sharp halt.
The doors swung open, and before anyone else could react, a woman with fiery red hair stepped out first. Without hesitation, she strode toward the hospital entrance, her posture firm and commanding.
"Be on guard." Meleonora's voice was calm but carried undeniable authority as she addressed the two officers trailing behind her.
After the general's warning, she had decided to come in person. Letting Max handle someone the general himself was treating so cautiously felt like a mistake.
She didn't want unnecessary disturbances. Better to be safe than sorry.
Yet, even as she walked forward, she couldn't help but feel skeptical. Was this boy really worth all this trouble?
Yes, maybe he had advanced technology and some surprises hidden under his sleeve.
But comparing a single person to an entire country? The general must have gone insane.
