Ben stood with a firm resolve, the weight of his words already pressing on his mind as he turned to face the two figures in the room. He cleared his throat before addressing them. "Lord, I have something to tell you."
The atmosphere shifted slightly as Clinton and Sally turned their attention towards him, their expressions neutral but expectant.
"What is it?" Clinton asked, his deep voice cutting through the silence.
Ben took a measured breath. "I have a candidate in mind. His name is Zack Lockwood. He's reached the Peak Stage of SS-ELITE, and I've already recommended his name once before."
A flicker of recognition passed through Clinton's eyes, but he remained silent as Ben continued. "The officials had shown interest in him previously, asking me to keep an eye on his progress."
