The haughty declaration was made: it’s still up for consideration!
Flossie Wright felt helpless.
Rubbing her forehead, Flossie Wright scanned her surroundings and then prepared to gather some dry branches nearby.
Her pace was swift, coupled with her familiarity with the jungle environment, eight hours was enough for her to cover the distance that would take other ordinary trainees more than ten hours.
Glenn Hutchinson of course would not give her any "special treatment."
So, with plenty of time on her hands, Flossie Wright was not in a hurry.
While she was collecting firewood, God occasionally circled the sky above, but it would return in less than two minutes.
However, just as she was about to finish collecting firewood, God abruptly disappeared without a trace.
Flossie Wright was not in a rush to look for him either.
After bringing all the easily combustible firewood back to the cave, Flossie Wright started making a fire at a leisurely pace.
The damp weather, the damp cave, the damp firewood.
Starting a fire indeed took quite a bit of her time.
Just as the flames started to rise, a fierce wind suddenly howled in from the entrance of the cave, mixed with bitterly cold raindrops.
In an instant, the fire was extinguished.
God landed next to the fire.
Drip. Drip.
God dropped two things.
A snake and a fish.
Both were not yet fully dead, and despite being injured by God, they struggled violently.
Flossie Wright: "..."
This... This is cheating on another level...
Flossie Wright felt a headache coming on.
But after all, it was God’s good intentions, and Flossie Wright had gotten used to "cheating," so she quickly accepted the reality in front of her.
The fire had gone out.
She needed to relight it.
The food had not been processed.
She needed to find a place to take care of it.
This time, after Flossie Wright killed the fish and snake, she simply dug a pit with her dagger in the ground to avoid the wind that could blow in at any time and started a fire again. She then piled a large amount of wood around it to dry the soaking wet sticks.
Then she carried the fish and the snake out to process them.
God persistently followed her.
Fortunately, there was a stream nearby with clean stones at the bottom, which were not muddied by the rainwater’s impact.
Flossie Wright used it to deal with the fish and snake.
She threw away all the innards, and though she originally wanted to give the snake to God to eat, the creature adamantly refused to eat it, leaving Flossie Wright no choice but to carry the processed fish and snake back with her.
Upon her return to the cave, Flossie Wright suddenly understood why God was unwilling to eat the snake.
As soon as she entered the cave, she sensed an extraordinary aura.
"You’re back?"
A voice with a slight chill emanated from near the campfire.
With a quick glance, Flossie Wright spotted the increasingly intense flames and the figure sitting beside them.
Perry Reed.
Clad in a black coat, his aura dark and dangerous, his gaze filled with barely concealed rage, his handsome face, rather than being admired, evoked a bone-chilling fear in those who saw it.
She paused for two seconds.
Flossie Wright turned and walked away.
God, who had been circling in the air, landed squarely on Flossie Wright’s shoulder at that moment.
It seemed unable to comprehend Flossie Wright’s actions.
"What, you don’t want to see me now?"
Perry Reed’s cold voice came from behind her, revealing an unspeakable chill.
Flossie Wright’s stride halted.
Steady footsteps were heard, blending with the loud rain outside, not quite clear.
Furrowing her brows, Flossie Wright turned to face Perry Reed, who was approaching her.
The moment she turned around, Perry Reed, already behind her, reached out and held her tightly in his arms.
The strong force was so tight that Flossie Wright’s bones ached deeply, but Perry Reed seemed oblivious to her pain, as his grip seemed to get tighter.
Flossie Wright spoke in a cold voice, each word icy.
The poniard drawn in an emergency was already pressed against Perry Reed’s lower back.
The sharp blade only needed a little force from her to pierce his coat and delve deep into his flesh.
This was an overt threat.
𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Knowing Perry Reed’s fickle nature, if truly provoked, he could be capable of anything.
Without any consultation, Flossie Wright directly participated in Aaron Doom’s selection process.
Though she did not think she necessarily had to inform Perry Reed about such matters, she could definitely anticipate the fury he would have upon finding out.
Time and again, he had emphasized to her that she must not go to Glenn Hutchinson’s Forces.
Not to mention, being with Glenn Hutchinson.
With this in mind, Flossie Wright had been on guard the moment she saw Perry Reed.
Perry Reed’s hold did not loosen, his chin rested on her shoulder, his thin lips close to her ear.
His voice was low and threatening, "If you really want to, go ahead and stab."
Flossie Wright was not someone who could be provoked by reverse psychology.
On the contrary, she definitely had the courage to make a move, even if it meant facing him and being ruthless.
Perry Reed had calculated that at this moment she would not strike.
During the deadlock, God flew up from Flossie Wright’s shoulder, circling over the two of them, crying incessantly, as if trying to break up a fight.
Grinding her teeth, Flossie Wright, realizing this tactic was useless, directly turned her poniard around and put it away.
"What do you want?"
Speaking word by word, Flossie Wright’s tone was cold and firm.
True to her nature, she was not one to easily compromise.
Turning her head slightly, Flossie Wright locked eyes with Perry Reed, her indifferent expression leaving almost no room for retreat.
"Come back with me!"
Perry Reed’s thin lips parted, his voice resolute.
Equally, he gave Flossie Wright no chance to prevail.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense and serious.
