The young soldier stood in place, somewhat incredulously watching as Jor left.
All her comrades were injured, and she still had to continue with training?
But, as she had already left, this doubt could only remain buried in his heart.
At the same time.
Desert edge, campsite.
Having just received Willie’s notification, Joshua Bailey hung up the satellite phone and dashed into Harris Caleb’s tent like a madman.
At that moment, Harris Caleb had just answered a call and hung up.
"Deputy, Flossie Wright is injured!"
Without another word, Joshua Bailey shouted this at Harris Caleb as soon as he rushed in.
Setting aside the phone, Harris Caleb stood by the desk, frowning slightly as he looked at the panicking Joshua Bailey.
"Not dead."
Harris Caleb spoke coldly.
Someone had reported to him about the incident just now.
Flossie Wright had taken down two enemies, showing quite some cleverness by letting the drug lord Kennedy survive. However, the choice of allies was poor, leading to random shooting in panic, hitting Flossie with a bullet.
Yet, the bullet hit the scapula, not the heart; Flossie would find it difficult to die.
"It’s not a matter of life and death!"
Joshua Bailey was almost frantically upset, his face flushed red.
With a cool gaze, Harris Caleb looked at him.
"Flossie got shot; she’ll definitely need one or two months of recuperation. What about the training during this period?!"
Taking a deep breath, Joshua Bailey tried to calm himself down.
After all, it was just an injury, not death. Joshua normally wouldn’t be this agitated, but it’s a special period now. They can’t let the training delay because of Flossie Wright, and she can’t partake in training with an injury...
How much would be missed?!
Calmly looking at Joshua Bailey, after two seconds, Harris Caleb spoke lightly, "Welcome her next time."
The meaning was clear.
Since she can’t participate in training, regardless of the reason, points would still be deducted, and once all points are deducted, she could be expelled.
There’s no room for negotiation.
Joshua Bailey couldn’t help but curse.
Pausing, Joshua Bailey forced himself to hold back his anger, stepping forward to stare at Harris Caleb, "She was injured in the line of duty, can’t there be an exception?"
"Whoever injured her, let her find them."
Harris Caleb said with a calm demeanor, showing no concession on the issue.
"Harris Caleb!"
Joshua Bailey spat out these three words through gritted teeth.
Casually picking up a report, Harris Caleb sensed a strong murderous aura, his brow moved slightly as he glanced sideways at him, "Not negotiable."
Joshua Bailey was infuriated...
If he could beat him, he would really love to throw punches at him.
Taking another breath, Joshua Bailey calmed down, calmed down again, and finally thought of Glenn Hutchinson, turning to leave.
After taking two steps, he heard a cold voice from behind.
"It’s no use looking for Glenn Hutchinson," Harris Caleb glanced at him leisurely, his voice oddly calm, "The latter part of the training is under my command."
The footsteps paused sharply, and Joshua Bailey ground his teeth in fury.
How did he run into such an unfeeling person!
Captain, oh Captain, don’t let this guy get too arrogant, aren’t you going to manage him!
At this moment——
From outside the tent, a light, casual voice suddenly drifted in.
"The deputy is right."
As the voice fell, a figure emerged.
It was none other than Dallion Collins, who had just gotten some free time.
He wore an army combat uniform, impossibly handsome, his free-spirited aura unaffected even in military attire.
One hand in his pocket, the other playing with a military knife, he raised his long leg and walked in leisurely.
Clearly, he didn’t seem worried about Flossie Wright either.
Nothing matters except death.
That’s their creed.
As long as one is not dead, anything is possible.
In the eyes of Dallion Collins and Harris Caleb, an accident doesn’t end the future of an excellent sniper. As long as Flossie wishes to join the Forces, with her age and abilities, she will have numerous opportunities ahead.
But, rules must not be broken.
Walking forward slowly, Dallion Collins stopped beside Joshua Bailey, turning his head slightly to glance at him, emphasizing each word, "No exceptions in selection."
No exceptions in selection.
Selection process is riddled with unexpected events.
Just like Becca Reyes, who got injured in a fight back then. If she hadn’t voluntarily left afterward, but her injury had delayed training, Joshua Bailey would have still sent her away.
In the middle of this training, there were many similar situations.
Someone fell from a height, breaking a leg and unable to participate in training, another got caught in a cold with fever causing delay in training, losing points rapidly, some got bitten by poisonous snakes during wilderness survival, having no choice but to withdraw from training...
There were many cases.
Flossie Wright is not an exception.
And she’s no different from those who withdrew due to various reasons.
In fact——
She’s not even special.
Those people were injured due to bad luck, similarly, being mistakenly shot by an ally was just bad luck for her as well.
She can’t be given special treatment simply for taking down a fugitive.
In their realm, there’s no possibility for that.
Joshua Bailey fell into silence.
He looked at Dallion Collins, then at Harris Caleb, both appeared exceedingly calm, as if the result of Flossie Wright’s possible departure was beyond doubt.
Joshua Bailey let out a deep sigh.
What an excellent prospect...
He had enlisted nearly four years, never having seen someone like Flossie Wright, such a fitting prospect.
Someone like Flossie Wright...
He felt the need to try and retain her because her earlier stay represented a kind of luck for this newly formed women’s team.
There’s no way to retain her.
"I understand."
Bowing his head slightly, Joshua Bailey nodded, responding helplessly.
