To be honest, he had a liking towards Rowdy Brightwill, having seen his capabilities before, his military skills were exceedingly good. As one who always admired the strong, Patrick Morrison genuinely obtained a good impression of Rowdy Brightwill.
Yet, he couldn’t figure it out. As soon as they started talking about Flossie Wright, Rowdy Brightwill never quite settled down. Though everything was organized and orderly, he lost a bit of his usual calmness.
Compared to Glenn Hutchinson, he simply lacked patience.
Rowdy Brightwill responded dully, his face not looking too pleased.
He couldn’t bear that Glenn Hutchinson could ruthlessly use Flossie Wright as bait. This situation that Flossie Wright was lured into was something she could’ve avoided. She didn’t need to face so much danger. If she ends up unscathed at the end, it would be a relief. However, if anything were to go wrong...
The mere thought of it set Rowdy Brightwill’s teeth on edge.
Before long, the fully armed Patrick Morrison brought over a military computer. He pointed at the screen in a strained posture and explained over the 3D blueprints, "The exact location has been received. Here’s their stronghold, Flossie Wright’s location is in the warehouse, she’s likely being held captive."
After a pause, Patrick Morrison closely listened to the voice in his wireless earpiece. When all the commands were issued, he acknowledged in a low voice, "received", then began to explain the strategy to Glenn Hutchinson and Rowdy Brightwill.
"Once local law enforcement connects with our operative, we will forcefully break in. Special groups have been assigned to rescue Flossie Wright, you can rest assured."
As soon as Patrick Morrison finished speaking, Rowdy Brightwill furrowed his eyebrows, asking with a stern face, "What do you mean by that?"
"Uh," looking at them awkwardly, Patrick Morrison gave a light cough before slowly explaining, "you guys are not our people after all."
Rowdy Brightwill and Glenn Hutchinson both held military ranks. So, technically, the many soldiers participating in this mission should listen to their commands. But they didn’t belong to the same military district. Especially Glenn Hutchinson who held an even higher rank in comparison to their Captain’s rank. Who dared to let Glenn Hutchinson be involved? Not to mention the possibility of unexpected accidents during the operation. If something were to happen to Glenn Hutchinson...
In their traditional impression, an officer of Glenn Hutchinson’s level basically worked behind the scenes giving commands. How could they really go to the frontlines?
Despite that, Glenn Hutchinson did seem quite young and possessed a sharp edge that only someone who had really seen blood and the edge of a knife would have.
However, they could not afford the responsibility of a mishap happening to Glenn Hutchinson.
Rowdy Brightwill lightly pursed his lips and went silent.
The rules within the Forces, they all knew very well. Whoever the command falls on has to blindly obey. All in all, Rowdy Brightwill and Glenn Hutchinson were both non-combatants here. Unless they were explicitly given commands, they could not participate in any combat.
Even more so, they didn’t have the qualifications to request a mission. After all, Rowdy Brightwill’s superior was still in Marine Corps, not knowing what was exactly happening here. There was no chance he would negotiate to let him participate in a mission for another military district. Glenn Hutchinson belonged to a secret organization; obtaining permission from the upper level was even more impossible.
Regulations dictate that Glenn Hutchinson and Rowdy Brightwill, to be frank, were already breaking rules by just sitting in this military vehicle.
If not for their rank, ordinary people couldn’t control them. Fearfully, the regular people would have been asked to leave a long time ago.
After a long silence, Rowdy Brightwill glanced at Glenn Hutchinson, who had been sitting quietly all the while and asked unexpectedly, "You’re just going to sit here?"
He thought Glenn Hutchinson could be of some use by coming here.
"What do you think?"
Lifting his eyelids, Glenn Hutchinson shot him a casual glance.
Feeling that Glenn Hutchinson wasn’t as simple as he seems, Rowdy Brightwill frowned and thought for a while. However, before he could piece it together, the vehicle had come to a stop.
Simultaneously, Glenn Hutchinson opened the car door and stepped out.
"Hey——" Seeing this, Patrick Morrison quickly jumped out of the vehicle and stretched his hand out to stop Glenn Hutchinson. "Our captain’s orders were that it’s best if you both stay in the vehicle."
Since they couldn’t participate in the operation, having an officer of Glenn Hutchinson’s rank around was pressure. If he were to wander around, who knows how the soldiers would panic. If there was no course of action, he might just create chaos for them. Patrick Morrison didn’t want to have to deal with accidents caused by their own people.
However, before Patrick Morrison could even stabilize his thoughts, he saw Glenn Hutchinson’s frigid gaze cast over. He suddenly felt a chill as if murderous intent was piercing through him.
Patrick Morrison blinked, a foreign sense of discord emerging in his heart.
This was strange!
A military officer with such a murderous intent, that was terribly unrealistic!
Just as he was about to solve this puzzle, the sound of a sudden explosion from afar intervened with his thoughts.
"Boom——"
At the onset of nightfall, a deafening blast resonated from their target building. Catching them off guard, it made their ears ache.
Both Glenn Hutchinson and Rowdy Brightwill reflexively looked over with furrowed brows. Once they identified the exact location of the explosion, their eyes darkened.
It was——
The warehouse!
