Their commission didn’t detail much, roughly saying it was against the Peacekeeping Forces, without even specifying a time. As for the specific action plan, there’s no need to mention—everything is premised on confidentiality.
Flossie Wright swirled the glass in her hand, listening as the person slowly finished listing their requirements. Amidst her leisurely demeanor, there was a moment when a chilling killing intent flickered.
Finally, it’s time for the free choices.
Those willing to join this action can stay, while those unwilling can choose to leave.
Three minutes to decide.
The originally quiet Pub suddenly became lively once the choice was presented.
"Are you joining?"
Without waiting for Flossie Wright to speak, Belinda Nichols asked Ice.
Ice was startled, then glanced at her. After hesitating for a moment, Ice calmly said, "You decide."
"I’m leaving."
Belinda Nichols decisively made her choice and then directly stood up.
Ice didn’t hesitate. Her gaze lingered on Belinda Nichols as she stood up too.
Flossie Wright helplessly raised her eyebrows.
A hidden protector indeed... Never noticed before.
Others naturally didn’t know what was going on. But seeing Belinda Nichols and Ice, representatives from both sides, stand, it proved there was no choice in this commission. Hence, everyone at the table also stood up.
Surrounding gazes once again uniformly fell on them.
Anonymous and Flossie Wright’s group didn’t even glance at them, preparing to leave without a sideways look.
"Flossie, did the two of them know each other before?"
Rowdy Brightwill moved to Flossie Wright’s side, lowered his voice, and asked.

He was naturally referring to Belinda Nichols and Ice.
"Yes." Flossie Wright lazily raised her eyes, paused slightly, and kindly added, "They met once when I took Belinda out."
"Just once?" Rowdy Brightwill raised his eyes in surprise.
"Hmm?" Flossie Wright’s nasal tone rose, as if a bit puzzled.
"No, they only met once, can their relationship be that good?" Rowdy Brightwill looked full of suspicion, deeply reluctant to believe.
"I suppose," Flossie Wright furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and found a suitable word, "kindred spirits."
"Ice’s identity... If they are together, wouldn’t the higher-ups not approve?" Rowdy Brightwill cautiously asked.
"Oh." Rowdy Brightwill felt relieved.
"Interested in Belinda Nichols?" Flossie Wright teased.
"No." Rowdy Brightwill decisively denied.
Flossie Wright gave Rowdy Brightwill a faint look, a gaze that was enough to make one feel transparent, yet the thin-skinned Rowdy really held his ground this time with no other expression, appearing calm overall.
But Flossie Wright was somewhat uncertain.
This kid, his skills are improving every day...
"A small group is just a small group, can’t even have this bit of courage."
As the group walked toward the entrance, suddenly they heard a disdainful laugh, the tone filled with contempt and scorn, deeply stimulating Anonymous’s group’s nerves.
Before Anonymous’s side could react, they heard a sudden sound.
Followed by a shout.
As the group responded, they raised their eyes and looked over, only to see Sandy Cruz, who was already close to those at the table, standing in front of those people. And a military knife belonging to him was inserted straight into the table, somehow with a bizarre force, the blade penetrated one-third in.
