Hand raised, knife fell.
The sound echoed by Lucas’s ear.
Originally somewhat relieved by the departure of the military knife, as his attention turned to his precious belonging, Lucas was startled upon hearing the sound of the knife piercing the tree trunk beside him.
In that instant, his heart shattered completely.
Frozen in place, Lucas shifted his eyes slightly, looking to the side.
In the dim light, he could vaguely see his precious pet’s final struggle, just one moment, and it was gone, stiff and unable to move again.
"It’s not poisonous."
After a while, Lucas stared at Flossie Wright with great grievance, speaking word by word.
His little darling...
Died so miserably!
Flossie Wright retracted the military knife, allowing the lizard to fall down.
Lucas didn’t catch it, he just glanced over.
"Whose fault is it?"
With a cold eye on him, Flossie Wright asked word by word.
There was a slight choke, Lucas paused and very honestly opened his mouth, "Mine."
If he had another chance, he would definitely have informed Flossie in advance that his pet was sleeping in his pocket.
Regrettably—
Lucas pouted, unable to cry even if he wanted to.
Quickly, in his gloomy mood, Lucas took out the so-called "keepsake."
It was a delicate and small military knife pendant.
Silver, with clear engravings, beautiful patterns, petite, only about the size of two fingers.
Flossie Wright squinted her eyes, raised her hand, and took it from Lucas.
This small pendant didn’t really qualify as a keepsake, but with this item, Flossie acknowledged Lucas’s origin.
It was handcrafted by Erina Taylor and given to Perry Reed.
Of course, not only to Perry Reed, she had just learned the skill back then and made over a dozen of them, distributing them all at once.
Each was a military knife pendant, but each had a different design.
Since she made them herself, she could certainly recognize them.
"What did he ask you to do?"
Playing with the pendant, Flossie Wright frowned and asked.
"To check on you," after a pause, Lucas immediately added, "to see if you were getting bullied."
As soon as he finished speaking,
the military knife that had pierced through the lizard’s body was once again placed against Lucas’s neck.
"How did you end up with him?"
Raising her brow slightly, Flossie Wright asked leisurely.
"I joined his Mercenary Corps." Lucas answered truthfully.
If it were before, Lucas wouldn’t have easily believed that Flossie Wright would actually harm him.
After all, no matter what, she was wearing the military uniform, and by the rules of the Forces, she surely wouldn’t do anything to harm civilians, right?
she didn’t even blink, solving his precious pet with just one stroke.
Such a ruthless person, it’s hard to believe she’d behave obediently.
Lucas was genuinely afraid of her now.
"He took you in?"
Speaking somewhat curiously, Flossie Wright’s eyes slightly shifted, scanning him from head to toe.
Having witnessed it last time, he really didn’t have much skill in combat, except for shamelessness and durability, he didn’t have any other strengths.

Even in photography and low-altitude skydiving, his skills were just average.
Such a person in a crowd—
Perry Reed probably wouldn’t even take a second glance at him.
"Yeah, he did," Lucas raised his brows proudly, "I’m now their professional photographer."
