Chapter 273
“Mr. President... You should go back to the Blue House and wait...” The chief of staff looked flustered as he spoke. “Young Master Kang can visit you when he wakes up.”
The president...
What did it mean to be the president? It meant he was the supreme commander of Korea’s forces—including its players.
Of course, as the president lacked access to the System, he was inevitably slower to follow the matters of players, which were many and ever-changing. For this reason, significant military action required deliberation by both the National Security Council and the military, as well as consultation with the Association. Nevertheless, the final decision always rested with the president; his station reflected the will of the people; his authority, their mandate.
This was different from the aristocrats.
Nobles indeed wielded immense power and influence—but that, too, was an extension of the national will. Meanwhile, the president was this will, able to wield endless blessings or limitless curses with impunity across the nation.
Given this solemn power...
The sight of the president waiting around for Jae-Hyeok, as if just another uncle, discomforted the chief of staff immensely.
Was this something a president should do?
What’s more, this visit to the Kang Estate was bound to stir public opinion. The president should’ve been occupied assuaging the people—but instead he was here. Already, four hours had passed...
“Don’t worry.” The president handed a handkerchief to the sweating chief of staff and smiled.
“Just for today, everyone will understand.”
