But he didn’t believe that Flossie Wright’s heart would remain with the Forces.
On the contrary, she disliked the Forces, hated them, and often showed a lot of rebellious emotions towards this military unit.

Therefore, he also worried that Flossie Wright might do something detrimental to the country at some critical moments.
This was a very normal concern.
Just as he had the same worries about other team members.
People who valued relationships too much tended to think of those close to them first, and then the country.
He thought it didn’t matter with others, but with Flossie Wright, the situation could extend very far indeed.
She needed to know in advance what was most important in her profession.
To this day, he still didn’t quite trust Flossie Wright, but he began to have a little confidence that Flossie Wright was growing into a qualified leader within this Forces.
"Bang— Bang— Bang—"
There were sounds of explosions that shot to the skies.
Both Flossie Wright and Glenn Hutchinson lifted their heads to look.
In the dark night sky, several streaks of light shot upwards and at a certain peak, they instantly burst forth in all directions, scattering many points of light, multicolored and bright, turning into the most beautiful decorations against the sky.
These were fireworks.
Transient, yet, breathtakingly beautiful.
The sounds persisted, and cheers from the soldiers could be heard from not far off on the parade ground.
The sounds of fireworks intertwined with the cheers from the parade ground while celebratory voices came from the phone that Flossie Wright was holding.
A new year had arrived.
Here before her, and there thousands of miles away, they were all cheering and rejoicing for the arrival of the same moment, with a joyous flavor that stretched over miles.
If last year Flossie Wright had no interest in the New Year’s celebration, at this moment—
The place was different, the mood was different.
Perhaps, what had changed was not her mood, but those people.
Without this group of guys, maybe, New Year’s would still be just as boring.
The thought flashed through her mind, and reflected in Flossie Wright’s lifted eyes were the multicolored lights of the fireworks.
She watched the fireworks, and Glenn Hutchinson watched her.
At that moment, the coldness and indifference in her eyes all turned into an unspeakable warmth.
The fireworks would last for ten minutes.
But, after two minutes of watching, the phone in her hand was snatched away.
Forcefully cut off.
A figure blocked in front of her, holding her tightly in his embrace.
Flossie Wright was slightly startled.
But she did not resist.
Snowflakes and fireworks drifted through the night sky, falling and intertwining.
The snowflakes gently landed on the two of them.
On the brim of a hat, strands of hair, shoulders, in the depths of the eyes.
The fine snowflakes, in the cool night breeze, flew diagonally into one’s eyes.
All the eyes could feel was a series of chills.
In the dark eyes, filled with dazzling exploding fireworks, the fine dancing snowflakes, and—
The aura of the man before her.
What was a sense of belonging?
Flossie Wright didn’t know.
But Erina Taylor had a home once, and after it was destroyed, she found her home with the Mercenary Corps.
In this Forces unit she had lived in for over a year, she started to feel a strong sense of belonging.
Not because of someone specific, but because of the collective.
"Do you still remember when I asked you whether you would choose the country or your comrades?"
Glenn Hutchinson’s voice sounded gently in her ear.
"I remember," Flossie Wright answered.
"Now then, what do you choose?" Glenn Hutchinson continued to ask.
