Facing the piercing gaze of intense scrutiny, Flossie Wright met it levelly for a second and then casually looked away.
For her, as long as there is no hostility, it’s acceptable.
Without hesitation, Flossie Wright quickly walked towards Austin Shepherd. A few passing new soldiers greeted her, and she responded to all of them without missing one.
"Flossie, let me introduce someone to you." Upon seeing her approach, Austin Shepherd cheerfully greeted her, pointing to an unfamiliar face and said, "This is Derek Moore, perhaps the most favored soldier by our former captain, and he was once the best soldier we’ve produced here."
Tilting her head slightly, Flossie Wright met his gaze once again.
Derek Moore was seated not far away with two seats separating them, and his gaze carried an instinctive authority, causing people to be alert, even unnerved.
Being stared at like this was never a comfortable thing.
Upon closer inspection, Flossie Wright felt a twinge in her heart. This face seemed familiar, but her memory served her poorly and she couldn’t remember where she had seen him before.
Pausing for a moment, Flossie Wright responded.
Considering her usual responses, this was incredibly respectful.
Relieved at this response, Austin Shepherd let out a quiet sigh.
"Moore, did you want to see her for something?"
"Haha, speaking of the best soldiers, even Austin Shepherd hasn’t seen Moore’s world, right?"
"By the way, Moore, did you bring all those things for Flossie Wright?"
Before Flossie Wright and Derek Moore could even greet each other, the people around the table began to chatter incessantly.
Naturally, the topic could not deviate from Derek Moore, who was the focus.
After sizing up Derek Moore and listening to the comments around her, Flossie tried to assess the situation.
Compared to the other veteran soldiers at the table, this man had an extra sharpness about him, giving off a commanding presence without even trying. This is something ordinary people can hardly cultivate - but Flossie Wright had seen it in many people in her eventful past.
In the midst of these discussions, Derek Moore suddenly stood up.
He looked at Flossie Wright, eyed her for two seconds, about to speak—
"Moore, I’ve been meaning to ask you about this, why were you looking for Flossie?"
All of a sudden, Rowdy Brightwill emerged from the back, casually slinging his arm over Derek Moore’s shoulder. Their apparent closeness instantly turned the faces of everyone else at the table pale.
Rowdy Brightwill, is he really close to Derek Moore?
In the memory of many veterans, Rowdy Brightwill was still a newbie, incredibly young. When Derek Moore left, he wasn’t even enlisted yet, he never even met Derek, how did he become so close?
Soon enough, someone mustered the courage and voiced the question on everyone’s mind.
"You’re talking about him, my senior?"
Rowdy Brightwill explained with sparkling eyes, oblivious to the strange looks around him.
"Why didn’t you say so earlier!"
"Senior? Did you graduate from the same school?"
Immediately, those veterans who were eating breakfast did not resist and got up.
With a collective rustle, this movement quickly attracted the attention of the nearby new recruits.
Austin Shepherd felt quite a headache.
"Hey hey hey, your training time is approaching, what are you doing hanging around here?"
Waving his hand, Austin Shepherd voiced a warning to them, implying that this was not the time for them to make a scene.
