Glancing at him strangely, Flossie Wright then looked down to examine the burlap sack.
It was about waist high, seemed quite big, and heavy; whatever was stashed inside made it bulge.
"All of it?"
Flossie Wright frowned.
"Yes." Derek Moore nodded, then after a pause, watching Flossie’s calm demeanor, he couldn’t help but add, "These were selected especially for you by the captain, it took him a whole day."
Flossie Wright looked up in surprise.
Derek Moore watched her seriously, their eyes meeting, showing no signs of deception.
Of course, Derek Moore didn’t have the habit of lying, so what he said must be the truth.
Speaking of which, Derek Moore suddenly remembered when Glenn Hutchinson brought these stuff back, it was just on the eve of the Chinese New Year. At that time, everyone was guessing what he had bought back. Was it for celebrating the New Year, or new stuff prepared for post-holiday training?
However, this burlap sack had been sitting in the corner of his office ever since.
It had never been touched since it was put there.
This oddly strange phenomenon aroused curiosity in many people. They could hardly resist sneaking into his office to find out what was in it.
Until the day before yesterday.
The day before yesterday, Derek Moore, who had planned to take a leave since the beginning of the year, finally got his leave from Glenn Hutchinson.
At that time, Glenn appeared to casually ask if he had any other plans apart from going home, and he mentioned to Glenn that he would also "drop by his old unit, the East Sea Fleet."
The sack ended up with him.
It was only on the road that he realized in retrospect, Glenn probably knew about his itinerary all along.
Flossie Wright replied. She took out a military knife from her waist and cut the tightly tied knot, deftly opening the sack.
The action was smooth and effortless. Derek Moore, standing by her side, saw everything and felt a bit heavy-hearted.
As Captain Hutchinson had said, this Flossie Wright seemed to have some research on knife technique. The way she held the knife seemed... trained.
Upon opening the sack, Flossie Wright saw a heap of snacks and specialties.
However, it shouldn’t be this heavy if it was just food...
"There are some other things," Derek Moore thought for a moment and added seriously, "All sorts of bits and pieces, like loading gears for instance."
The reason Derek Moore knew about these things wasn’t intentional, it’s just that as soon as he took the sack out, those eager young men had turned it inside out. With their photographic memory from training, it would be difficult for them to forget what they saw.
Flossie Wright got it immediately.
Only those things could make it that heavy.
"There’s more."
Pulling a slight pause, Derek Moore took out a knife from his uniform pocket.
A military knife.
A silver blade.
Flossie Wright immediately recognized the brand of the knife at a mere glance.
Cold Steel SRK.
Squinting, Flossie Wright revealed a hint of interest in her eyes.
"This was Captain Hutchinson’s military knife, and he entrusted me to bring it to you," said Derek Moore, and after a brief pause, he added, "But, with a condition."
Shrugging her shoulders, Flossie Wright looked calm and composed.
She wanted to know what sort of game Glenn Hutchinson was playing.
Taking back the military knife, Derek Moore straightened up, looking at Flossie Wright seriously and said, "I want to test your ability."

This was Glenn Hutchinson’s demand.
Additionally, he also wanted to see what kind of ability the person that could make Captain Hutchinson give away his military knife had.
