"What are you doing?"
In the slightly chilly night, the voice carried a cold undertone, deep and powerful, like a harsh wind blowing directly at them, making their hearts tremble involuntarily.
The sudden beam of light blinded them temporarily, but the sound of that voice revealed who was standing there.
Without a doubt, it was Glenn Hutchinson who had just come down from the stairs.
Soon, the beam of light was switched off. Their eyes had been dazzled, their vision blurred. They could vaguely see a man holding a flashlight walking towards them. It was only when he got close that their vision began to clear.
"Good morning, Captain Hutchinson."
Upon seeing the handsome divine-like man in front of her, Becca Reyes instantly brushed off her discomfort from having her eyes messed with. She broke into a pleasing smile like a sycophant, warmly greeting Glenn Hutchinson.
Glenn Hutchinson glanced at her lazily, but his attention finally rested on Flossie Wright standing beside her.
"Reporting, sir, we were just taking a walk."
The intense gaze made Flossie slightly uncomfortable, but her face was exceptionally relaxed as she explained to him. Standing tall and straight, she looked like an iron pillar, not bending in the slightest.
Becca Reyes smiled and quickly added for her, "And we came to see you."
Glenn Hutchinson raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flickering in his eyes, which was extremely enchanting in the dim night.
Since Becca Reyes had mentioned this, Flossie could not continue to ignore it. Suppressing her urge to roll her eyes, she met Glenn Hutchinson’s gaze calmly and asked coolly, "Are you free?"
Glenn Hutchinson silently eyed her, guessing roughly what she was up to.
He was the one who suggested that Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes should join the new recruits training. He had told the Sergeant that he saw potential in them, but the real reason was only clear to him. In fact, maybe even he was not entirely sure.
Yesterday, when he was lurking outside the window, he heard Flossie Wright’s conversation with the soldier and saw her subtly hint at him under intense scrutiny. He was adept at recognizing outstanding soldiers, and Flossie Wright’s uniqueness had caught his attention since their first encounter. Therefore, he believed she would become a soldier with excellent military skills.
However, no matter how strong a soldier’s abilities are, it is still not enough.
He had always questioned whether Flossie Wright genuinely suited the military life. Flossie’s performance yesterday had disappointed him because a soldier always prioritizes the safety of the hostage. But she had treated the hostage as if they were dispensable, merely fulfilling her duty in a perfunctory manner.
Yet, when he saw her so peacefully lying in his arms, he found it somewhat amusing.
From another perspective, such a soldier is also quite interesting.
Since Captain Glenn Hutchinson didn’t answer, the impatient Becca Reyes became anxious. She glanced at the composed Flossie Wright, then hastily supplemented, "Captain Hutchinson, we need a small favor from you."
Glenn Hutchinson crossed his arms and lazily looked at her, as if waiting for her to continue speaking.
"You see, Sergeant Lin is considering including us in the new recruits’ training, but apparently, we have to pass a test first. Since you know so much about the training of new recruits, we thought we might ask for your advice." After a pause, Becca shamelessly added, "Of course, it would be even better if you could help us train."
