If only the Chief of Staff knew that, at that moment, it wasn't just the Elders who looked like total quacks!
Because aside from Jackson Taylor, who definitely needed medical attention, practically everyone present was beginning to think that the Imperial official desperately needed some himself!
For starters, those who encountered him in that state, particularly those who'd worked with him before or witnessed how he'd handled previous disasters, were utterly stunned.
After all, this was the same Killian Nox who'd remained outwardly unflappable even when the people of the Capital were convinced that an entire planetary invasion was about to take place!
Granted, those had merely been military battleships arriving in droves for a high-profile auction, but while practically everyone else had been imagining absolute doom, the Chief of Staff had calmly attended to matters as though nothing particularly alarming was happening.
In fact, people had even looked to him for reassurance!
