Wearing a black wide-brimmed hat that obscured her forehead and brows, Flossie Wright revealed only her gloomy and sharp eyes, a high-bridged nose, tightly pursed thin lips, and a chiseled profile.
She looked stunning.
Flossie Wright stopped in her tracks, a smile emerging in her expression as she playfully whistled.
At the sound, the people around them looked over, but when they got a clear view, they saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman standing opposite each other. The man exuded a relaxed charm and mesmerizing handsomeness, while the woman was refreshingly clean and as beautiful as a painting.
What a perfect match.
"Did you get it done?"
Looking at the man before her, Flossie asked him.
"The plane tickets?"
"Nine o’clock, tomorrow."
After thinking for a moment, Flossie asked again, "And the people?"
Raising an eyebrow, Perry Reed smiled boastfully, "They’re all waiting."
The "people" Flossie was referring to were procured by Perry Reed from Daisy Deacon.
In a place like Vernon, you could wander through the mountain regions and accidentally cross the national border at any moment, and the neighboring country, Arizona—was their primary stronghold.
Coincidentally, there had been an earthquake in Vernon recently, which happened to be Erina Taylor’s hometown. Thus, Daisy Deacon had sent a group over.
Now that Flossie needed them, Reed had taken the opportunity to request their assistance as well.
It was compensation for staying up late to drink with her.
Regarding the origins of these people, Perry Reed provided a brief and concise explanation, which Flossie accepted quite calmly.
"Thank you."
After listening, Flossie thanked him.
"No need for thanks," he stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her waist as he lowered his gaze into her eyes, "just offer yourself to me in return."
With a raised eyebrow, she lifted her hand to pinch his chin, Flossie narrowed her elongated eyes, "Is that all I owe you?"
Leaning forward slightly, Perry Reed abruptly closed the distance, their noses touching as he spoke softly, "So, should you owe me a few more favors?"
"Forget it, you—"
"Sister-in-law, hello!"
Before she could finish, the simultaneously shouted greeting at her ear interrupted her.
Flossie paused.
Turning her head to look—
A line of soldiers.
They were grimy, their uniforms splattered with mud; all of them wore the unified field attire, standing in neat rows, with straight and upright postures.
Several pairs of eyes, pitch-black and shining, were all fixed on her.
As if they could burn a hole right through her.
Flossie felt slightly embarrassed.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that all these people were probably under Glenn Hutchinson’s command.
She didn’t see anyone she recognized but noticed a few familiar faces.
Among them, Glenn Hutchinson was nowhere to be seen.
Just as she realized this, Perry Reed beside her pulled her into his arms, laughing as he raised an eyebrow at them, "I’m not your big brother."

He was challenging them with numbers.
When had he ever been afraid?
The line of people, infuriated by his shameless behavior, was then followed by another thunderous shout—
"Sister-in-law, hello!"
The shout soared to the sky, resonating deeply.
Now, many passersby couldn’t help but curiously look over in their direction.
Flossie was utterly exasperated.
"Sister-in-law, you can’t betray our Captain."
"Sister-in-law, if there’s anything unsatisfactory about our Captain, tell us. We’ll talk to him and make him change!"
"Sister-in-law, our Captain is much more handsome than he is, won’t you reconsider?"
"Sister-in-law, ..."
Disbanding informally, several people crowded around her, each affectionately calling her sister-in-law.
They had all returned in advance.
The main forces of the squad had been busy all day, still in the mountains for rescue.
