Vernon City is not the capital of the Southwest province; it’s located near the southwestern border, and its development is relatively backward.
There is no airport.
Being close to the border means—
Perry Reed’s force can invade at any moment.
In fact, in a place like Vernon City, one can easily cross the national border, and the country on the other side— Arizona, is a war-torn nation.
The battle over oil, the civil war within the country, have made life unbearable for the people there...
Whether it’s Perry Reed or Flossie Wright, both of them survive by engaging in war. It’s natural for them to have connections and influence in such places.
In the afternoon, around four o’clock.
They deplane.
A sports car has been waiting outside the airport for some time.
The key is hanging on the wiper on the front of the car.
Perry Reed goes to get the key. Flossie Wright, with her arms crossed, looks at the car, "This car..."
What a big spender.
A black Bentley, limited edition.
He glances at her, while opening the car door, Perry says, "Nail had it sent over."
She’d rather kill you with money than lose face.
Just her style.
"Did you tell her?"
Opening the door, Flossie Wright sits in the passenger seat.
As he starts the car, Perry Reed responds, "No."
Such a strange matter, unless personally verified, whoever speaks of it will be useless.
Flossie Wright acknowledges with a nod.
Her mind is inevitably wandering.
Since becoming Flossie Wright, she never thought about contacting Erina Taylor’s friends again, subconsciously severing all previous relationships.
It is undeniable that Perry Reed is an unpredictable factor.
Finding her, recognizing her, was unexpected, but she accepted it as it was.
As for Nail...
Just like Erina, she’s an Eastlandia native.
Real name, Daisy Deacon.
She took the nickname, Nail, and naturally others started calling her that.
Daisy Deacon is one of the people who established the Mercenary Corps with Erina. She’s stubborn, naive, and never believes that anything out of the ordinary can happen. Even if she stood in front of her, she would not harbor any doubt.
Flossie Wright has always been very open-minded.
If death is supposed to come, then so be it, what needs to be let go, should be let go. She lives how her current life dictates.
As for old friends, if fate wishes it, they will meet again.
"By the way, Nail got married."
While smoothly driving the car, Perry Reed suddenly speaks up, his voice low and husky.
"Oh?" Raising an eyebrow, Flossie Wright is somewhat surprised, "With whom?"
Her body stiffens slightly, and the corners of Flossie Wright’s mouth twitch.
The bastard who abandoned her at a crucial moment?
"So," regaining her composure, Flossie Wright crosses her arms and shows keen interest, "Tell me in detail, what happened?"
Perry Reed frowns.
How would he know someone else’s gossip?
After a pause, Perry Reed controls the steering wheel with one hand, then takes out his phone, and makes a call.
"Sliver, what’s up?"
𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The call is answered by a woman, her voice vaguely familiar.
After asking about Daisy Deacon and Andrew’s affair, Perry Reed puts the call on speakerphone.
"They..." The woman hesitates slightly, obviously bewildered why he would be interested in such a matter, but quickly replies, "The specific situation, I’m not entirely sure, but it’s said that after Erina’s death, Andrew began to pursue Nail. Nail might have developed feelings for him, started protecting him two months ago, and they had an elopement half a month ago."
