Glenn Hutchinson responded in a light tone.
"Oh," Flossie Wright looked up and said relaxedly, "Let’s go then."
Hutchinson raised his hand and wrapped it around her shoulder,
drawing her, who was about to turn and leave, directly to his side.
However, in front of so many people, he did not act overly intimate.
"What is it?"
Flossie asked knowingly.
"Explain this to me," Hutchinson said as he steered Flossie in the direction of the crowd on the drill ground, "what’s going on here?"
"They’re playing," Flossie said casually, shirking all responsibility, "It has nothing to do with me."
"Is that so?"
Hutchinson narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed tightly on Flossie.
Flossie spread her hands.
If Hutchinson had arrived ten minutes earlier, Flossie really wouldn’t have had any room for excuses, but now, none of this had anything to do with her anymore, and Hutchinson would have difficulty pursuing the matter.
Furthermore—
she hadn’t done anything wrong.
"Alright then," seeing Flossie’s calm demeanor, Hutchinson raised an eyebrow, "I will go find the commander of the third company."
Flossie’s expression darkened slightly.
What was more fatal was that as soon as Hutchinson spoke, the commander himself emerged from the crowd, looking for Flossie.
Upon spotting Flossie, he quickly approached, but on seeing Hutchinson, especially his shoulder insignia, his expression instantly turned awkward.
"This must be Glenn Hutchinson, right?"
Approaching, the company commander saluted Hutchinson, asking as he did so.
Letting go of Flossie, Hutchinson returned the salute smoothly.
"Commander Liu?"
Hutchinson inquired.
"That’s me." The company commander immediately nodded.
In front of a colonel with two bars and three stars, he, a mere captain, did indeed seem a bit out of place.
Especially—
this legendary Glenn Hutchinson seemed much younger than he had imagined.
"This soldier of mine has caused you trouble," Hutchinson said sternly, speaking straightforwardly to the company commander.
"Not at all, not at all," the company commander assured him upon confirming Flossie’s identity, glancing at her once more, and spoke humbly, "She’s a formidable soldier, beating our company’s vanguard until it was too pitiful to watch."
Flossie touched her nose.
She pretended as if she didn’t know anything.
Hutchinson turned his head to the side, looking at her with a mix of helplessness and speechlessness.
Then he averted his gaze.
Initially, Hutchinson intended to exchange pleasantries with the company commander, but after a while, he started to hear sincere appreciation in the commander’s words.
At the same time, many surrounding eyes swept over, curious about the situation here.
In the low discussions, there was widespread praise and admiration for Flossie’s abilities.
Hutchinson noticed something unusual.
But, the third company commander strayed rather far off-topic, making it hard for Hutchinson to understand the full situation in the moment.
Deciding to end the conversation quickly, Hutchinson, very formally and seriously, led Flossie away.
With his attitude, like he was about to "take her back and punish her severely", coupled with his upright presence and powerful aura, it looked to the company commander as though there might be cause for concern.
Could it be—
he was really going to punish that formidable female soldier?
The third company commander had felt some grievances over their crushing defeat, and had intended to exaggerate a bit in front of Hutchinson, but after a few words, sensing the colonel’s concern, he couldn’t help but speak a few words in Flossie’s favor.
