Jamie said and strode outside.
Wesley and Gregory rushed to keep up with Jamie while Anthony dancing with Quentin’s precious daughter, Shania, apologized and left Shania before chasing after Rowan.

Half an hour ago.
Dorodo downtown, Silver Goblet Bar.
George and some of his lackeys sat in the corner of the bar and kept downing drinks. He looked furious, and his eyes were fierce.
“Who does Jamie think he is? He parachuted into our army as commander-in-chief by pulling some strings! Does he even care about our feelings?”
With that said, George slammed the glass onto the table with a thud.
The customers drinking nearby were startled. Nearby waitresses and bartenders shuddered with fear.
Several of George’s closest aides agreed.
“That’s right. Jamie isn‘t qualified to be commander-in-chief! Why should a boy only over 20 have power over all of us when he has just arrived in Dorodo?“
“How long has he been in the army? He’s probably still playing with sand when I fought City-State Union’s rebels!”
“Yeah. That punk doesn’t take us seriously!”
As George listened to his confidants, his fury intensified, and the alcohol gradually gave him confidence.
“My father is so intimidated by Jamie that it is impossible to overthrow Jamie through him. I’m going to take Jamie down as commander-in-chief without my father. Would you like to join me?”
“Do you think I’m stupid for doing this without any plan or preparation? I’m telling you. I’ve worked out a plan!”
Then George carefully and quietly explained his plans to his men.
“Jamie has won over the army, but not all the soldiers obey him. All we have to do is seize the opportunity to stab him to death at night and burn down the headquarters building. The soldiers will think Commander Lennon has died in the fire, and that it’s an accident!”
After a pause, George said, “Then we’ll choose one of the three chiliarches to be the commander-in-chief. Of course, we have to exclude Gregory and Anthony. The only person who’s qualified to be commander-in-chief is my father!”
“My father is already old. Even if he becomes commander-in-chief, he will step down in two or three years tops. Won’t I take over as commander-in- chief by then?”
George had a big smirk once he finished speaking.
