"First! We're in first place!"
"Haha, let's see how those Blood Hammer bastards keep acting arrogant now!"
"Good grief, forty billion Military Merit! That's insane!"
"..."
After Joel left in a sorry state, Duke and the others could no longer hold back their cheers.
Lyle, however, did not join in right away.
Her seductive eyes darted back and forth between Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue.
The flames of gossip burned fiercely within her.
She blinked, a teasing smile appearing on her face as she drawled:
"Commander, you two are...?"
The moment she said this, Duke, Shi Shan, and You Yue all turned their curious gazes toward them.
A flush instantly rose to Lin Qianxue's fair, lovely face.
Yet she did not avoid it. Instead, she pressed herself even closer to Xu Jingming.
A gentle, dependent gleam rippled through her pale golden eyes.
This demure girlish demeanor was utterly unlike her usual cold and aloof Iceberg image.
The four members of Wildfire Squad were left dumbfounded, practically wondering whether they were hallucinating.
Feeling the soft warmth of the arm around his waist.
Xu Jingming smiled and admitted openly:
"There's nothing to hide. Senior Sister is with me now."
Although they had already guessed most of it from the pair's intimate posture.
Hearing Xu Jingming admit it himself still made Duke suck in a sharp breath as he blurted out:
"Holy shit! Brother Xu, you're seriously incredible!"
He dared to hold the Commander's waist and could even make the Commander wear such an expression.
This feat was more shocking than defeating Joel!
"Fine, fine, so that's how you're playing it?
You kept us in the dark for so long!
To celebrate the Commander no longer being single, and to celebrate Ember reaching the top—double happiness.
Shouldn't you two protagonists show us something?
