“Why did you allow him to return?”
“One month?”
The questions came flying at Eugene at the same time. Which one was he meant to answer first? Eugene was left momentarily speechless as he could only blink his eyes in confusion.
“I asked you why you allowed him to return!”
“One month! That’s far too soon!”
While he was still blinking his eyes, the barrage of words continued. Although the other members of the general staff didn’t join in the questioning, all of their faces were covered in doubt and uncertainty.
