When Rowdy Brightwill uttered the word "disappearance", his voice shivered slightly for no apparent reason.
In fact, he didn’t want to say these words at all. People often subconsciously avoid things they dare not face, like him, unable to accept the loss of a dear friend.

Even if it’s disappearance.
Everyone knows, to disappear in this vast sea is to risk a lot.
"My son?" Aunt Janice muttered to herself uncertainly, a flash of confusion crossing her eyes. But very quickly, she regained her fierce momentum, glaring at Rowdy Brightwill, and shouted at him strongly, "Dare you say you were saving my son? Look, has my son come back? So what if he’s missing? My son is dead! He’s dead! What does it matter if you guys die? With so many people, you couldn’t even save my son!"
The sharp voice carried far away, and each clear word fell into the ears of every soldier present.
They looked up in disbelief, their bodies trembling with rage.
It doesn’t matter if one or two of them die?
Did they... hear it wrong?
No one could understand this shocking thought. Maybe they could understand the grief of this mad woman losing her son, but, do their lives not matter?
Rowdy Brightwill, who was closest to her, stiffened his face. His handsome face seemed to freeze instantaneously. Only after a couple of seconds did he react, but his eyes were filled with unconcealed anger.
The mad woman was still screaming and cursing, but no one was listening to her anymore.
All of their hearts, at that moment, went cold.
The soldiers gradually approached, their intertwined anger spreading as well.
Flossie Wright’s fist tightened abruptly, but before she could strike, Rowdy Brightwill grabbed her wrist surprisingly, and she failed to pull free.
Then, a low roar came--
"Everybody, stand down!"
Rowdy Brightwill scanned all the soldiers present. In contrast to the others’ rage, he appeared remarkably composed, as if he had suppressed all his emotions and been left with an oddly calm demeanor.
Though, everyone knew that he was the one who cared the most.
In their team, the ones closest to Rowdy Brightwill, other than Drake Easton, was Winsley Scott.
But this time, Rowdy Brightwill held everyone back. He looked at them very seriously, then spoke in a crisp, clear voice, "She, is not worth it."
Not worth it.
Just a mad woman, no matter how much she hurt them, or chilled their hearts, she wasn’t worth them taking action.
They didn’t need to break military discipline for a woman like this.
For them, indeed, she wasn’t worth it.
That morning was an unexpected challenge for everyone present.
In the rescue operation, one soldier was lost, another soldier disappeared. When the storm slightly subsided, Bard Walker immediately dispatched boats to search for Winsley Scott. By that time, all the students had been found. Of the students found later, only one survived, but these soldiers left a complete corpse for those parents.
On that beach, Flossie Wright saw Janice Wood apologize tearfully for the first time, saw Rowdy Brightwill calmly coordinating all the rescue operations for the first time, and saw Nathan Foster crying miserably, muttering "I wish I had let him leave earlier" for the first time.
