"Beep, beep!" While the fighting at the front had reached a tense stalemate and the entire Sea Race legion was scrambling, Nie Yun received an unusual message.
The message had been encrypted and sent anonymously to Nie Yun through the Ranger's internal network. Only an insider could have done this, and the method bypassed external military communications monitoring. Clearly, the sender did not want anyone to know the message existed.
Nie Yun glanced at it. It was a secret message from the Kruze Family. Rather than open it immediately, he turned toward Catherine beside him and silently watched her with a teasing half-smile.
Catherine, who had been pretending to study her Terminal panel with her head lowered, noticed Nie Yun's gaze. Her expression grew slightly unnatural.
But she was a professional, and she immediately delivered an award-winning performance! A blush swiftly bloomed on her cheeks, then she lowered her head slightly to avoid Nie Yun's eyes, exposing her long, fair neck. She looked utterly alluring.
"Commander, we're on the bridge..." Her voice was coy, with a hint of reproach, enough to make anyone melt.
Some of the crew on duty nearby immediately cast discreet, knowing looks their way. A few were hungry for gossip, but most were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Nie Yun maintained his teasing half-smile. Trying to outact me?
He waved the Communications Terminal on his wrist, his face full of amusement. "So you do know we're on the bridge? Then isn't it a little inappropriate to send me a love letter so openly?"
A love letter?!
In an instant, the surrounding area fell silent. Everyone pricked up their ears, afraid of missing a single word of this bombshell!
They had long heard rumors about Catherine and Alsace, but lately the two had seemed perfectly normal
