[Maplestone City]
Again by the Anya River, on the street outside the officers' quarters, there are two Allied soldiers, one in uniform and the other plain-clothed.
The moonlit river looked like a road paved with silver, and the two of them walked silently along the "Milky Way" for a while. Suddenly, Gessa spat into the river, sneering, and bluntly asked:
"Do you know what price Jansen Cornelius offered me?"
"You went to have a private talk with Major Lanco Boyle?" Winters frowned.
"Of course I went; who hasn't?" Gessa responded as if it was the most natural thing, provocatively retorting, "You didn't go?"
Winters answered calmly, "I really didn't go."
Gessa was momentarily at a loss for words. He snorted lightly and shook his head, "Shows you're still too green."
Winters smiled and nodded slightly.
Gessa ground his teeth for a while before speaking again.
His tone and expression revealed that even the colonel himself found the next content incredible.
