Meanwhile, Flossie Wright also stood at attention, raised her hand, and saluted.
The one who spoke was the Brigadier.
His tone was stern, his demeanor serious, yet when he looked at Flossie Wright, he couldn’t hide a hint of admiration.
Setting aside the issue of "cheating," which was nearly confirmed, Flossie Wright’s ability to take on dozens alone was certainly commendable.
Although Commander Chen had always been very resentful, considering Flossie Wright had infiltrated when no one was paying attention or on guard, and had single-handedly dealt with them all.
However, they always focused only on results, not on the process or extraneous factors.
Soon, both of them entered the room.
Rowdy Brightwill was somewhat of an outsider, so he was still okay, but it was different for Flossie Wright.
As soon as she appeared, six eyes from the friendly forces stared at her.
Authority, dissatisfaction, anger, scrutiny — a myriad of emotions seemed to scan her thoroughly from head to toe.
In the face of such oppression, Flossie Wright felt a sense of amusement inside her. She remained nonchalant and expressionless. As she walked in, she completely ignored the three officers, not even sparing them a glance.
Having made it to the Brigadier’s office proved that from the moment she entered the door, every single move of hers would be under suspicion.
Everyone here was a Military Officer, large or small.
She was of a rank that couldn’t resist them.
What she could do was to calmly face the coming questioning.
Previously, Bard Walker had been worried that Flossie Wright would show weakness in front of the few people who harbored intentions to pick on her and would be timid, but now upon seeing her, he realized he had worried needlessly.
There was no need at all.
Thinking back to how Flossie Wright had talked back to him that afternoon, although Bard Walker was irked, he felt reassured about her.
This girl wasn’t going to back down!
Next to him, the Brigadier gave Bard Walker a look, meaning — "It’s your responsibility now."
Being from the same brigade, even though the Brigadier was partial to the Amphibious Reconnaissance Team, he couldn’t show it openly, or else it would destabilize military morale!
"Flossie Wright!"
He turned and faced Flossie Wright.
Her response was firm and resolute.
"You claim you used a map to determine the location?" Bard Walker reconfirmed with furrowed brows.
"How long did it take you?"
Flossie Wright was puzzled.
After a pause, Bard Walker added, "Rowdy Brightwill said that you asked him earlier if the Stronghold had been arranged already?"
"Oh..." Nodding, Flossie Wright responded with a calm demeanor, "That did happen."
She had had an idea in mind at the time, but upon remembering that exchange, she had casually asked Rowdy Brightwill, which solidified her thoughts.
No sooner had she finished speaking than Flossie Wright suddenly realized something was amiss.
The gazes that had been fixed on her abruptly shifted away, as though now scrutinizing Rowdy Brightwill, and Bard Walker’s expression grew even more serious.
Once Rowdy Brightwill was involved...
The situation was different.
With a subtle narrowing of her eyes, Flossie Wright instantly became solemn and firmly denied, "But, he didn’t answer! Besides, I didn’t ask him for the specific location."
"Are you sure?"
At her side, Commander Chen moved a step closer, his gaze sharp.
"Positive!"
Standing straight, Flossie Wright didn’t hesitate at all.
"I have the right to question your statement!"
With a cold face, Commander Chen was full of fierce energy.
"And I have the right to defend myself!" Flossie Wright replied, neither subservient nor arrogant.
Huffy, Commander Chen frowned deeply, "No one is stopping you from defending yourself! Give us a reason!"
This time, Flossie Wright turned her head to face him squarely.
