Upon hearing Thomas's words, the middle-aged man's face turned a bit unpleasant. Seeing Smith walking away without looking back only added to the man's loneliness.
This middle-aged man was not only Smith's son, but also one of the decision-makers at the West City District Command Post, with crisis-logistics as his responsibility. If it were not for his son, Smith would not have been so actively involved.
The one who had just expressed support for Thomas was the eldest son of the Taylor family. Despite being in charge of the Six-Gate Command, he was still under the supervision of higher management and had not entered the decision-making layer of the West City District Command Post.
Apart from these two, the ones standing behind the middle-aged man were all heads or deputies of various departments of the West City District Command Post. These individuals had deep connections with the older generation, either being biological children or close relatives.
