"Did you arrange the groupings?"
With her long slender legs casually crossed, no loose-fitting training uniform can obscure the calmness and elegance she exudes from within. She asked indifferently, tossing out a simple question, the emotion behind her words remain inscrutable.
Naturally, when Flossie Wright bumped into Austin Shepherd while looking for a printer, she took the opportunity to ask a few questions about the "grouping". Austin Shepherd was certainly tight-lipped about the mastermind Glenn Hutchinson, but through his reaction, Flossie could only conclude that it must have been Glenn.
After all, the leaders didn’t pay much attention to her.
Besides certain factors, Flossie would naturally think of Glenn Hutchinson.
Not for anything else, but she felt that only Glenn Hutchinson would do such a thing.
Without any hesitation, Glenn Hutchinson calmly nodded, effectively admitting to it.
Flossie leaned slightly forward, her beautiful brows unexpectedly furrowed, her long, narrow eyes bursting with an oppressive glow. It appeared as though if Glenn Hutchinson didn’t provide a satisfactory explanation, she could very well flip over the desk in front of her at any moment.
The distance between them was less than one meter.
Glenn Hutchinson slightly narrowed his eyes, his usually cold demeanor suddenly became somewhat gentler, as he slowly said, "This can create some opportunities for me."
He seemed serious when talking about his methods, but his expression did not hold any touch of deep affection, opposite, it was completely calm and composed, seeming absolutely sincere with no traces of guilt.
"You played me?"
Flossie raised an eyebrow, her tone suddenly turned colder.
If Glenn Hutchinson really went so far for some trivial matter, she was really mistaken in judging his character!
However, admitting it so openly...
Does he think she’s stupid?
"You don’t believe me?"
Glenn Hutchinson counter-asked, the corner of his eyes softening slightly, it seemed as if he’s taunting Flossie.
"Should I trust you are a bastard?"
Her tone dropped even further, Flossie furrowed her brow and threw the question back at him again.
In the once quiet and relaxed office, the atmosphere abruptly grew tense, the tension was palpable, filled with swirling hostility as if a battle was imminent, and blood would be shed.
Their eyes clashed in the air, weaving a web of indifference and tension, forming an ambiance of gunpowder and warfare.
However, after a standoff, Glenn Hutchinson suddenly laughed.
"I’m quite grateful that you trust me."
Unhurriedly, Glenn Hutchinson spoke at an even pace but maintained an enigmatic aura that remained unfathomable.
Flossie’s face fell slightly, realizing that she had fallen into Glenn Hutchinson’s trap again.
"The outside world is fascinating, but I believe there are things here in the Forces that can hold you back." Glenn Hutchinson leaned forward away from the backrest of the chair, closing in on Flossie. The corners of his mouth lifting slightly, his voice holding a hint of mystery, "For instance, weapons and equipment available without any risk, or advanced combat ways."
"And shackles."
A gleam flickered in her eyes, Flossie smoothly picked up the thread of conversation.
No one could deny that being in the Forces, as long as you were hardworking, you could access a lot of things without the risks inherent in the Black Market, and there would be no need to explore blindly. Many veterans here would give you the best combat plans and provide you with top-notch weapons and equipment.
However, there are too many restrictions.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment in this country have yet to reach the level she desired.
