"How did you get it?"
Derek Moore’s tone was slightly heavy as he asked her impatiently.
Though his attention today had been focused on the military knife, and he didn’t pay as much attention to the ring, it was not easy to take something from him, especially considering that, to his recollection, Flossie Wright hadn’t been within ten meters of him since leaving that morning.
He was certain that, after Flossie Wright had left, his ring was still on him.
Flossie Wright squinted her eyes and smiled at him, but didn’t say a word.
Quickly, Derek Moore figured it out. "Rowdy Brightwill?"
"Hmm," she replied.
Spreading out her hands, Flossie Wright made no attempt to hide.
"That kid..." Derek Moore was both angry and helpless.
He would never have thought that Rowdy Brightwill, whom he trusted so much, would actually conspire with Flossie Wright, and even turn against him.
"The military knife."
Just as he was furrowing his eyebrows in anger, Flossie Wright lifted her hand slightly and extended it in front of him.
A real piss take.
But Flossie Wright fully embodied this absurdity.
In fact, what Flossie Wright did was quite scoundrel-like, but it was hard to find a reason to counter her actions.
By any means necessary.
As long as she could get the military knife, that’s all that mattered.
And, the ring in her hand was a sufficient bargaining chip for a trade.
"How did you figure it out?"
Derek Moore sighed a bit, handing over the military knife to her while he couldn’t help but ask curiously.
His ring was always kept in his pocket, and he had never taken it out to show Flossie Wright, nor had he hinted at its presence. So...how did Flossie Wright know about it?
"You’ve given it away a few times."
Flossie Wright took the exquisite military knife, and the ring box appeared in her hands as she lifted them.
She extended her hand, passing it over.
Derek Moore clenched the ring box in his hand, his fingers slightly tightened.
The ring box was indeed important to him, which was why he paid attention to it, and cared about it. If he hadn’t been waiting for Flossie Wright all afternoon while not seeing her in the morning, he wouldn’t have noticed the disappearance of the ring until now.
However, he hadn’t expected that Flossie Wright, based on his small gestures, would effortlessly secure the key to retrieving the military knife.
He suddenly felt that Flossie Wright’s ability to make him take out the ring voluntarily was an ability he had to admire.
After all, ability isn’t always something you can see directly, right?
Having collected the military knife, Flossie Wright turned around, but before she had a chance to leave, she suddenly turned her body to the side, smiling and waving at him.
"Good luck with your proposal."
Her voice was cool, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a hint of amusement in her words.
Having said that, she didn’t linger, and walked away with long strides.
Derek Moore frowned, watching her receding figure. A peculiar emotion flashed through his deep eyes, causing a ripple before quickly returning to calm.
Well, he had finished his task, and could now report back.
Whether to the Captain or to the brothers in the team who were filled with curiosity.
Picking up his luggage, Derek Moore turned around, put the ring box into his pocket, promptly took out his phone, and dialed Glenn Hutchinson’s number.
"Captain, she did it..."
As soon as the call was connected, Derek Moore’s steady voice slowly spread out into the cold twilight, gradually sinking down.
The Base was surrounded by a vast mountain range. Within the deep forest was a scene of unique charm.
