As soon as reporters regained their composure and swarmed toward Hera, eager to get a statement, Leo strode purposefully to her side.
Towering over the crowd, he positioned himself protectively, using his broad frame to shield Hera from the barrage of questions. She was visibly exhausted, and Leo's actions ensured she wouldn't be overwhelmed.
"Ms. Phantom, just a quick interview, please!"
"Ms. Phantom, one question—just one!"
The reporters called out in rapid succession, their voices a mix of desperation and excitement.
But Leo's stern presence made it clear that Hera needed space, and for now, their questions would have to wait.
The reporters attempted to follow Hera to the garage, their determination unwavering. However, Dave, Luke, and Xavier quickly stepped in, forming a formidable barrier to keep them at bay.
Dave, ever the diplomat, took the lead, his calm and authoritative tone commanding attention.
