The pilot of Qiu Zining's flying vehicle had been temporarily assigned to her by Tan Tai Raoming.
He came from the military and was an active-duty serviceman.
Even if he was only a logistics soldier, he was still a soldier.
And soldiers were no strangers to combat.
But attacking one's own people at the slightest provocation—he had never experienced that kind of fighting.

Qiu Shiwu added, "Noble Lady Zining,
