With handsome features and eyes like those in paintings, his gaze cool and detached, he raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw everyone looking his way, exuding an air of leisurely contentment with no sign of timidity, only a hint of overt arrogance.
Quite cocky.
After just one glance, Flossie made her judgement.
Noticing the sleeve insignia on his arm, identical to the one she had seen on Glenn Hutchinson before.
Instantly, her opinion of him dropped a few notches.
"Xiao Ruan, what do you think?"
Bard Walker approached, asking him for his opinion.
There, the man took a map from the table, on which two locations were marked in red.
Compared to the ones Flossie had identified, three were missing, and all the locations he marked were wrong.
In contrast, the area he circled was much smaller.
After showing it to them for a few seconds, the man quickly extended his well-defined fingers toward a stopwatch near his notebook, aiming it at the notebook’s camera.
Maxwell Moore, 29 minutes.
He was proving that he had narrowed the buildings down to just two in less than half an hour.
As a result, the faces of everyone in the office turned a shade greener.
Here we go again, someone else looking down on their intelligence, huh?!
The man put down the stopwatch and slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, casting a meaningful and almost imperceptible glance at Flossie.
"She can do it."
He spoke slowly, his voice casual and tinged with laziness.
Suddenly, Bard Walker and the others let out a quiet sigh of relief.
The person on the other side of the video was one of Glenn Hutchinson’s trump cards, a graduate of National Defense with a Master’s degree in military studies, and thus something of an expert in this area.
There was no one better suited to make the judgement on this matter.
"Just one person?"
Seeming uncertain, Bard Walker asked again.
"Otherwise?" the man retorted, and then laughed, "I don’t think she needs any help."
"Uh, alright then."
Bard Walker was not so comfortable with such blunt attitudes.
"That’s it, I’m very busy."
As his voice faded.
He took the mouse, clicked gently, and the video on their side disappeared.
In the office.
The atmosphere became very tense.
The man’s attitude was far from friendly, and anyone with a sense of belonging to the Eastern Sea Fleet was annoyed by the condescension they sensed from someone in another team.
Now was not the time to be uncomfortable.
So, they began to consider the possibility that Flossie was truly "wronged."
"Let’s leave it at that!"
Commander Chen said gruffly, waving his hand and storming out the door in a huff.
At the same time, the two who had come with him could no longer sit still, quickly bidding farewell to the Brigadier and Bard Walker and hurrying out after him.
"It’s fine now!"
Relieved, Rowdy Brightwill approached Flossie, smiling as he spoke.
She nodded, her response perfunctory.
There had been no issue to begin with.
Even without the recent proof, as long as they couldn’t find any evidence to convict her, she wouldn’t be in any trouble.
It was just the rumors that would follow.
She believed that these people had already checked and found no one who knew the stronghold had revealed any information to her.
"Rowdy Brightwill!"
Suddenly, Bard Walker’s voice was stern and chilly as he cast a cold glance at Rowdy Brightwill.
"Here!"

Instantly, Rowdy Brightwill stood at attention, shouting his response.
Bard Walker frowned, his tone severe, "Ultimately, your actions also, in some ways, helped Flossie."
