This was the ointment Bonnie had specially formulated for the organization's members when she had some free time.
She wanted to provide her comrades with a better ointment to ease their pain and reduce complications because they often got injured during missions.
This was her first time distributing this ointment, meant for the comrades to test its effectiveness. If it worked well, she planned to produce a larger batch with an improved formula.
Back then, she only gave out two bottles per person. Collin had long used his supply and even requested more later. She never expected Falcon to have his still and cherish it enough to give it to her now.
He must see her as a trustworthy brother.
Bonnie’s feelings grew complicated. Sometimes, she thought Falcon was loyal and righteous; other times, she found him heartless. It was a conflicting sentiment.
Collin waved a hand before her eyes when he noticed Bonnie’s distraction. "Barrett, Barrett, what's up?"
Bonnie returned to reality and replied calmly, "Nothing, just thought this ointment smells unique and nice."
Falcon, who hadn’t noticed this before, bent down to sniff the ointment. "It does smell good."
After mumbling this, he urged Bonnie to apply the ointment. "But the scent isn't what's important. You need to use this ointment quickly and get your arm back to normal. Once that's done, we can work together to crack the chip. With our teamwork, we’ll get it done in no time!"
The mention of the chip made Bonnie’s ears perk up. She took the ointment and casually asked, "Didn't Mr. Billy tell me when everything was ready? I thought it wasn't urgent. Do you have any new information from him?"
"The chip issue is mainly up to me, not Mr. Billy. He also wants us to crack the chip and extract the technology as soon as possible to dominate all international organizations." Falcon was now completely trusting of Bonnie. He shared everything openly without holding back.
A flicker of light crossed Bonnie’s eyes, but she quickly hid her emotions. "Then I should indeed recover quickly. Delaying your and Mr. Billy’s plans wouldn't be good."
"It’s not a delay," Falcon reassured her with a gentle look. "As long as your arm gets back to normal soon. After all, you got hurt saving me, so I’d feel guilty if I didn’t help. Of course, cracking the chip is part of it, but that's a small reason."
Bonnie chuckled at his explanation and teased, "I've noticed you're being quite nice to me now, unlike when we first met."
"I misunderstood you before," Falcon admitted, scratching his head awkwardly. "But now, you’re my best brother. I won't treat you like that again."
As Bonnie applied the ointment, she discreetly asked a crucial question. This question would indirectly determine Falcon's fate when she brought him back.
