A smooth tone, an ice-cold voice.
In the distance, a hint of deep blue fabric could be faintly seen, hiding behind the collapsed building.
After a moment, that figure stood up from the corner.
Camera in hand, a badge hanging around the neck, it was a reporter.
Around thirty years old, now exposed in the line of sight, he didn’t seem panicked after being discovered. His eyes were bright and alert, he lifted his gaze to meet Flossie Wright’s without deference or arrogance.
"This is my duty."
Looking at Flossie Wright seriously, his words were steady and calm, with no sign of backing down.
He was a reporter.
Capture photos, record facts, then make them public.
There was nothing wrong with that.
Deep down, he truly didn’t believe that these Forces would come right up to him and forcefully delete the photos from his camera.
Flossie Wright laughed lowly, looking down.
The grip on the woman’s collar loosened slightly, and she was unceremoniously dropped to the ground. Flossie Wright lightly dusted off her hands and took a few steps forward, standing on higher ground and looking down upon the reporter.
"So your duty is, like the paparazzi, to skulk around and take things out of context?"
Every word was crisp and clear, laced with a chill.
"The Forces bullying civilians, did I see that wrong?" The reporter’s face grew slightly pale as he questioned, his gaze sharp and mocking, "If I’m not mistaken, you’re a soldier, too, right? Others say a few words, and you start throwing punches, beating people up like this... It’s really amusing, our country, actually cultivates such...things!"
Each word was eloquent, noble in appearance, but full of sarcasm.
As ordinary citizens, committing such acts of violence would result in legal repercussions, so what about these soldiers?
The Forces’ regulations were even stricter!
Pausing for a moment, Flossie Wright’s lips curved.
She had met someone with guts.
It was just a pity that the people she least liked in her life were reporters with different views from her own.
A pen, controlling the world of news, guiding the majority’s thoughts, a few words could alter the established facts, and those with intentions could completely fabricate a world of their own making.
In an age of information overload, who would investigate the truth and falsehood of news?
Because of politics, because of the situation, because of attention...
This cruel world had many truths that needed to be kept hidden.
"What did you say!"
By her side, Willie Ash suddenly burst out, pointing at the reporter furiously.

The reporter smiled and lifted the camera.
The arrogant demeanor of Willie Ash was captured from a very good angle.
With a deepening smirk, Flossie Wright pushed down Willie Ash’s raised hand and then said to him, "Let them keep digging, rescuing people is what matters."
Her tone rose slightly, a hint of curiosity cutting off Willie Ash’s reluctance.
"Alright, got it."
With an irritable wave of his hand, Willie Ash stepped back and began to soothe the soldiers’ emotions, then organizing them to continue their work.
Around them, many anxious parents, after hesitating, still prioritized their own children and rolled up their sleeves to help the soldiers.
"Miss, need a hand?"
The man who had scolded the parents earlier, seeing the situation clearly, came over to Flossie Wright’s side and asked boldly.
While talking, he rolled up his sleeves, ready for a brawl.
Flossie Wright narrowed her eyes slightly, amused by him.
