Chapter 1121


    Much to Sebastian’s surprise, the new president openly said those words to him in front of everyone


    else.


    The entire hall fell silent.


    Benedict, who was seated behind Sebastian, watched on with a stunned expression.


    What in the world? Isn’t this ridiculous? Aside from the fact that there is no such precedent within the


    White House, Yariel doesn’t have any military experience at all. So how can he have a position in the


    House? Isn’t this pushing it too far?


    Many among those present were both shocked and furious, primarily because they too coveted the


    position.


    “Sir, have you truly given this decision due consideration? Given that Old Mr. Jadeson’s grandson has


    never been in the army before, how is he fit to assume that position? After all, this rtes to the


    nation’s military matters!”

    Those who were anxious began to protest even before Sebastian said a word.


    Once doubt was cast upon Sebastian, many others in the hall supported the stance.


    In summary, most of them felt that Sebastian wasn’t qualified for the role.


    Throughout the exchange, Sebastian remained silent.


    All he did was stare intently at the president. Losing his calm, an icy glint shed in his eye.


    Did he just put a target on my back in public? Interesting!


    “Calm down, everyone. I’m aware that Yariel doesn’t have any military experience. However, he is an


    extremely smart man. Before he joined the government, he was Astoria’s most prominent


    businessman. All of you shouldn’t underestimate him. After all, it’s just military affairs. I’m sure he can


    get the hang of it in no time.”


    Ss stood by his decision.


    However, those words caused further anxiety among everyone present. Just when they were prepared


    to remonstrate further, a frosty voice pierced through the chaos in the chamber.


    “Fine. There’s no need to vote then.”


    The next moment, everyone watched as the young man they had just ridiculed, raised his hand and


    threw the votes he was holding away.


    It drove everyone mad.


    Two hourster, the elections finally ended. Benedict was elected to the Senate, while the Cab


    Council epted a new member.


    As for the House, Sebastian was chosen for it.


    When all of them were leaving, Benedict caught up with Sebastian.


    “Yary, you really are a gutsy one. How dare you take up the position? You have never touched a gun


    nor fight on the battlefield before. How can you…”


    Just as he walked, Benedict pointed at Sebastian with a worried and frustrated expression.


    Sebastian swept his gaze at him. “What are you worried about? Isn’t my grandpa supporting me still?”


    “You…”


    Benedict almost burst a vessel.


    Obviously, he didn’t want the position to be taken by Sebastian as he too had his own preferred


    candidate.


    Despite his exasperation, Benedict had little choice other than to ept it.


    “No matter what, you just have to be more careful. Let me remind you, the representatives of the


    House have always been difficult even when your cousin was in the White House. Now that you have


    been given the hot seat, you have to stay vignt against their ruthless schemes.”


    Maintaining his silence, Sebastian wasn’t bothered to entertain Benedict. When he saw Mark already


    waiting in the car, he quickly got in.


    Watching from behind, Benedict gritted his teeth and yelled, “Fine. Call me if you need anything. By the


    way, I’m heading to Yorknd in two days’ time. Do you want me to bring your sister back?”


    Sebastian paused just as he opened the car door.


    “Are you going to Yorknd, Mr. Cooper? What for?”


    “That’s right. That mischievous son of mine has caused trouble again. This time, he has hurt


    someone’s daughter. Hence, I have no choice but to go over and make sure that nothinges out of


    it at such a crucial time,” Benedict exined candidly.


    Subsequently, Sebastian shifted his gaze toward Mark.


    However, Mark averted his gaze from the undeniably conflicted expression.


    Sebastian clenched his teeth…


    “There’s no need to. Ever since Devin’s death, her emotions have be vtile. I’m worried that


    bringing her back would only make things worse. I’m sorry that she has imposed herself on your son for


    such a long time. In two days’ time, I’ll send someone to set her up with a ce to stay for a while,”


    Sebastian finally answered his question.


    Benedict waved his hand. “It’s fine. Just let her stay there. After all, my house there is huge. Having


    one extra person staying there doesn’t make a difference.”


    Ever since the election ended, Benedict was even more attentive toward the Jadesons.


    Without saying a word, Sebastian entered the car and left.


    After more than ten minutes, when the White House could no longer be seen in the rearview mirror,


    Mark couldn’t resist asking, “Mr. Sebastian, is it true that you have been elected to the House?”
