That’s why Rowdy Brightwill always called her a tomboy.
The other male soldiers dared not act recklessly due to her combat power. However, Rowdy Brightwill was not afraid. Both of them were on par in terms of skills and their camaraderie was evident. Therefore, it was somewhat understandable when he made the occasional cheeky remarks.
"The Captain sent us here, saying that you guys need more manpower," Rowdy Brightwill explained.
At the same time, without slightest hesitation, he brought a stool over and sat right next to them.
"How does he know we are short of manpower?"
Turning to look at him, Nathan Foster was confused.
Rolling his eyes at him, Rowdy Brightwill kept quiet.
"I’m asking you a question."
Nathan Foster furrowed his brow, calling him.
"He didn’t know." Austin Shepherd continued the conversation, sighing a bit, "No one told him, how could he possibly know?"
Therefore, Nathan Foster became even more puzzled.
Couldn’t these people just speak plainly?
Glancing at them, Nancy Phillips withdrew her gaze, languidly saying, "He probably just can’t help worrying, so he sent some additional help your way."
Dragging out the word, Nathan Foster seemed somewhat skeptical.
"Hey, forget about this," Rowdy Brightwill moved a bit closer, grinning, "Let’s talk about Flossie. How did she find the middleman and how did she escape? Isn’t she amazing?"
"...Rowdy Brightwill, could you stop acting like a love-struck fool?"
Nancy Phillips rolled her eyes at him in disdain.
"Yo, I’m asking my question, what does it have to do with you?"
Rowdy Brightwill raised his eyebrows lightly, refusing to back down.
Under the incandescent light, every detail of Rowdy Brightwill’s face was incredibly clear - his eye corners and eyebrows were slightly lifted and his dark pupils reflected the brilliant light.
It was so bright that it was almost blinding.
Averting her gaze, Nancy Phillips felt somewhat annoyed, then sat upright again, pressing down on the brim of her hat.
Seeing that she wouldn’t talk to him, Rowdy Brightwill didn’t bother engaging her either.
Immediately after, he leaned in closer to Nathan Foster and Austin Shepherd and enthusiastically asked about Flossie’s situation.
Knowing that Rowdy Brightwill was interested in Flossie, Austin Shepherd had no choice but to briefly explain the situation to him. However, they weren’t sure about the specifics and naturally couldn’t give a detailed account.
As Nancy Phillips sat in her seat, listening to the voices around her, she became even more irritable. After a while, she stood up.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Lights were being lit.
Out on the street, the crowds gradually thinned out, seeming rather desolate.
Wandering aimlessly on the street, Becca Reyes had a somewhat blank expression.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out from not too far ahead.
Brought back from her scatter-brained thoughts, Becca Reyes focused her gaze and saw an old man with white hair sprawled in front of her.
Slightly stunned, she noticed that one of her feet was already caught.
The old man raised his head, his face covered with wrinkles was now twisted in pain. He had a mouth full of yellowish, sparse teeth.
"Ah... you bumped into me, you can’t leave..."
His voice was absolutely wretched and miserable.
There were fewer people around, and though a few people did pass by, no one came forward to help.
Becca Reyes sighed and squatted down.
"Trying to pull a scam, huh?"
Watching the old woman’s performance, Becca Reyes’s mood grew even gloomier.
"What scam... you clearly weren’t careful while walking and knocked me over..."
Becca Reyes touched her chin.
Seeing her indifferent, the old woman began to complain again, "Ah, my back... it hurts, it hurts... I’m dying of pain..."
