The man before her, in his early thirties with a stern square face and an imposing presence, now had his thick eyebrows raised, speaking with an inherent authority.
She glanced at his shoulder.
Two bars and one star.
Not a low rank.
Taking a breath, Flossie Wright looked up, meeting his heavy gaze with an even tone, "I’ve already given my reasons, Captain Chen, if you can’t do it, it just means there’s a problem with your abilities, and it doesn’t prove that I absolutely can’t."
There was a slight pause in her speech as she looked at Captain Chen’s sinking square face and added, "I think, instead of fixating on my issues, you might spend that time better training your soldiers. I don’t think I’m that incredible; I’m at best above average here, and if you can’t handle one person like me with your dozens of soldiers, then you really need to reflect on that."
In an instant, Captain Chen’s tightly pressed lips drooped.
His hands clenched.
Rage surged uncontrollably.
At her side, Rowdy Brightwill sensed that something was wrong, and subconsciously took a step forward, placing himself in front of Flossie Wright, his gaze fiercely fixed on Captain Chen.
Yet, while he was protective, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for Flossie Wright.
Around them, aside from Captain Chen and the two people with him, the rest could not hide their emotions, despite their consciously maintained seriousness.

Internally, many of them were cursing.
They had gathered to get to the bottom of Flossie Wright’s "cheating," but they had not expected that Flossie Wright’s defense would abruptly turn into a direct jibe at Captain Chen’s leadership and soldier training!
She truly left no room for face saving!
Clap, clap, clap.
A slap, crisp and pleasant to the ear.
How ruthless!
Austin Shepherd and Drake Easton’s group truly felt that Captain Chen’s restraint from striking Flossie Wright at this moment was already exceedingly cultivated behavior.
The Brigadier spoke up, interrupting the anger and awkwardness in the Office.
Looking at Flossie Wright, the Brigadier maintained his seriousness, "Flossie Wright, go through the steps of your action again."
"Yes, sir!"
Withdrawing her gaze, Flossie Wright glanced towards the map in front of the desk and walked straight over to it.
"The analysis time took roughly two days..." she lied calmly, glancing at the city map, "To identify the location, the first step is to exclude the bustling districts and the residential areas, because you’d definitely avoid involving civilians. Then..."
Flossie Wright’s tone was even, unhurried and systematic, she eliminated a large area, then began to exclude every building in detail, even including a simple analysis of their structures.
In the end, she adopted the mindset of a "drug trafficker," analyzing what kind of building she would need to stay hidden and escape in case of danger.
By her side, Rowdy Brightwill listened quietly, finding his own thoughts suddenly expanding.
Flossie Wright stood under the light, the soft illumination outlining her slender silhouette. Around her were Military Officers with ranks all higher than hers, each with a stoic face as they listened, but their expressions were all undergoing varying degrees of change.
This was the first time Flossie Wright had ever detailed her analytical thought process so thoroughly.
Her voice was calm, with a touch of coolness that enunciated clearly into the ears of others, unconsciously drawing their attention entirely to her.
She was like a teacher lecturing, making each sentence clear and understandable, pulling them into her realm of thought, then getting them to genuinely ponder the feasibility of her approach.
"After excluding these options, that left five potential targets that I planned to check out. I was lucky that the third one I looked into was your Stronghold."
