He had learned to keep quiet.
But this time, he couldn’t help defending himself.
He wanted to say, their team might not be omnipotent, but they weren’t powerless either.
Rowdy Brightwill hemmed and hawed on the phone, an unusual occurrence. Flossie listened in silence, a subtle smile curving her lips.
The dawn is breaking.
Flossie’s uninteresting remark interrupted Rowdy’s elaborate narration.
"Um... hmm,"
Rowdy made a vague response.
"About this mission..."
As the words were leaving her mouth, Rowdy interrupted her decisively, "Don’t ask me, I won’t say a thing!"
Flossie’s lips twitched slightly.
After a pause, she said, "I just wanted to ask you something you could answer."
"What’s your question?"
"You arranged this mission yourself, right?"
Rowdy clenched his teeth, remaining silent.
For no good reason, he felt somewhat nervous.
"You want to create the illusion of a ’real drug trafficking’?" This time, it was Flossie who was taken aback.
"...Is it that obvious?"
"What do you think?" Flossie looked both amused and annoyed.
Rowdy was left speechless, on the verge of tears.
Raising an eyebrow, Flossie asked again, "So your last resort is to raid the gambling den?"
Flossie pondered.
Seeing her sudden realization, Rowdy became frantic, "Wait, I didn’t say anything!"
"Hmm," Flossie dismissed, "I figured it out myself."
Indeed, she figured it out herself.
However, it was Rowdy’s reaction that confirmed her guess.
"Tell me honestly, what are you up to?"
"Just asking."
"Stop calling."
"Wait, wait..."
The call was hung up.
Leaving her phone behind, Flossie ran her fingers through her hair, only then noticing its cold, damp clamminess.
Eastern Sea fleet, Base.
"Wait..." Barely out of Rowdy’s mouth, the sound of the call being disconnected came from the phone.
Quirking an eyebrow, as soon as he raised the phone, seeing ’call ended’, he was immediately taken aback.
"Finished your call?"
With a steady sound of footsteps, a questioning voice came from behind.
Looking sideways, there stood Drake Easton.
"Yeah."

"Where is she?"
"Ah..." Rowdy renowned in pain, "She didn’t tell me."
Not only did he not find anything, but...
He was tricked by Flossie and fed her a lot of information.
Drake frowned, slightly contemptuous, "And you spoke to her for so long?"
Rowdy Brightwill hung his head without a word.
After glancing at him, Drake added, "I just got a call from Austin Shepherd. He said that Flossie was taken away by a man on a motorbike."
Hearing that, Rowdy immediately found a new lease of spirit.
"I’ll call her again..."
While saying that, he picked up his phone.
However, before he could continue to call, a new message popped up.
It was from Flossie.
"At Jadeite Hotel. Having another sleep. Do not disturb."
So, Rowdy was left motionless.
After putting the phone back, he looked at Drake, "She is at Jadeite Hotel, seems like there’s nothing to worry about."
Looking at him, Drake pursed his lips, saying nothing.
