The Protector

The guests were from all walks of life, covering the military, political, and business circles. They were all bigwigs in their respective areas.

It was a testament to the Rogers family’s wide network and sphere of influence.

The empty front row seats were reserved for the ceremony’s VIPs, who were usually the last to arrive.

Members of the Rogers family had all taken their seats. The scene was a perfect representation of the wealthy and powerful being in a class of its own.

Roaring cheers could be heard when the celebrities, including Yelda Zamora and Zak Copland, made their appearances. The enthusiasm of the crowd was pushed to a climax.

After the celebrities settled down, Glenn Rogers walked up on stage and said a few words of welcome.

Following his opening speech, Glenn said impassionedly, “Now, let us welcome our heavyweight guests of the night…”

“I’m proud to say that the following 20 guests whom I’m about to introduce, are all my mentees throughout my military career.”

“First, let us welcome Steven Shaw, Colonel of the First Regiment of North Hampton!”

“Now, let us welcome Yash Warner, Captain of the Kirin Special Operations Force of North Hampton!”

“Third, we have Warren Klein, Commander of the Special Warfare Command of West Lakebran!”

“Fourth, we have Gilbert Hawkins, District Governor of El Swepel in North Hampton!”
