Not denying it, Flossie Wright shrugged, "Currently unemployed."
"Why?" the man continued to ask.
Flossie replied coolly, indicating it was confidential.
They had only met a few times, she had no intention of revealing her secrets.
The man glanced at her, then looked away, continuing to search through the backpacks.
Flossie wasn’t very interested in this, nor did she have the intention to investigate, just curious about what exactly he was looking for.
With a sniper gun slung over her back, Flossie leaned against a tree, watching the man’s actions unhurriedly.
After a while, noticing him checking that backpack again, a faint smile crossed Flossie’s eyes.
"Did I happen to help you with something?" Flossie asked lazily.
The man pulled the backpack off, slinging it over his shoulder.
Then he stood up, frowning as he surveyed Flossie.
"Name," the man asked unfriendly.
Flossie turned her eyes, smirked, "Pear."
The man’s gaze shifted slightly to a wild pear tree beside them, and his lips twitched sharply.
Such an obviously fake name, yet she uttered it without a change in expression.
"What do you want?" the man continued to ask.
"Look at me," Flossie crossed her arms, walking step by step toward him, stopping only when she was about two meters away, smiling as she asked, "Can I join you?"
The man frowned, looking at her for a good while.
Finally, he reached out to her, introducing himself coldly, "Ice."
With a slight pause, Flossie looked at him with interest, then reached out her hand to him as well.
Their hands shook briefly before separating.
Symbolizing an alliance between the two.
"Isn’t it time to talk about your purpose and identity?" Flossie asked.
"Mercenary," Ice said coldly, then added, "The aim is Gavin’s head."
"Pfft." Flossie suddenly laughed.
Then, under Ice’s increasingly icy gaze, she gradually subdued her smile.
"Ambitious," nodding solemnly, Flossie praised with a deeper implication, estimating that Ice wasn’t quite satisfied, so she continued, "Coincidentally, I have a grudge against him too."
"What kind of grudge?" Ice asked with a calm face.
"Tied him up, and killed his sniper, what do you think?" Flossie asked casually in return.
She didn’t believe that someone as vindictive as Gavin would let her off easily.
From the moment she framed Gavin, she was mentally prepared.
As long as Gavin escaped, he’d definitely come after her.
In the Forces, she had all the protection, in Eastlandia, her safety was relatively high, but once stepping into a neighboring country, the situation was entirely different.
And at that moment, the place she least wanted to stay was Eastlandia.
In two years, in this country, she’d left many memories, jungles, oceans, cities, all had traces of their training, and the soldiers she occasionally encountered constantly reminded her.
She had worn such a uniform and had many memories.
So this country would always remind her of him.
She didn’t like this very much.
When pursuing a question without an answer, she preferred to do something else.
Even though—
Once she left here, it would be very difficult to return.
But, what did it matter?
