North Border.
In the large conference room.
A staff member who was reporting information looked at the figure in the main seat and cautiously spoke again: "Commander Hayes?"
Hugo Hayes snapped out of it, looked up at him, and said, "Continue."
The staff member, who had already finished reporting, felt a bit awkward: "Commander Hayes, I'll go over it again then."
A few more minutes passed.
The staff member, who had finished briefing once again, looked at Hugo Hayes, who appeared distracted, and his expression turned to worry: "Commander Hayes, you seem very tired today. Maybe I should report to you another day."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Hugo Hayes stood up from his seat.
The cold sweat of the staff members in the lower seats flowed instantly. Everyone thought Commander Hayes was going to get angry; their hearts were already pounding.
However.
Hugo Hayes didn't even glance at them; he walked hurriedly towards the office exit.
