Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life
Chapter 328

Lando's slap barely satisfied his anger as he stormed toward Flora, step by step. Three leaders quickly moved to block his path.

"Get out of my way!"

Lando's voice boomed, his face flushed with fury.

Jason sneered, "You better realize you're on Empire Base turf. Take another step, and neither you nor your Red Scorpions will leave here alive."

Lando swallowed his rage, his face shifting from pale to an envious green, his eyes locking onto Flora, tinged with sorrow. "Master..."

The three leaders froze, almost thinking he was addressing them.

"Master, how could you come to Ruby Path and not tell me? Look at how your disciple has been bullied."

Lando's voice was filled with grievance, nearly welling up with tears.

Flora couldn't stand his overly dramatic nature. It was exactly because he was so troublesome and theatrical that she had reluctantly taken him as her disciple.

"I see you're doing just fine, not bullied at all," Flora said, glancing at him with a rather indifferent tone.

Seeing Lando acting all cutesy and spoiled with Flora left everyone in shock.

Master... Master?

Flora was Lando's master?

Yara's cheeks swelled, squishing her eyes into an odd shape. She stared at the scene, her heart pounding with shock and awe.

In the living room, the atmosphere turned awkward.

Flora and Connor sat calmly, while Master Jules lounged on the opposite sofa, legs crossed, enjoying the show. Lando stood to the side with the three leaders. "Master, did Connor sweet-talk you into this?" Lando asked, his face pained. "Men's words are the least reliable. Master, you're young; don't be fooled. Connor is not your true match." Connor, handing Flora a peeled orange, glanced darkly at Lando.

Zack glared, "How is our boss not Ms. Flora's true match? They're perfect for each other!"

Had it not been for Lando being Flora's disciple, they would have been beaten half to death at the door, let alone sitting here comfortably.

"Ms. Flora is our boss' fiancée. So by that logic, shouldn't you be calling our boss 'Master'?" Jason, seeing Lando's frustrated face, couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you asking for a beating?"

Lando, already simmering with anger, nearly lunged at Jason.

"One more word and you're out."

Flora's cold command fell like a bucket of ice water, instantly calming Lando down. He pouted, visibly upset.

"Master, now that all the miracle drugs have gone to Empire Base, The Red Scorpions are on the brink of collapse. You can't just watch as your disciple's creation folds..." "What's your plan?" Flora bit into the orange, its sweetness lifting her spirits.

"Give The Red Scorpions fifty percent of the miracle drugs."

"No," Flora refused without a second thought.

"Thirty percent?" Lando was nearly in tears.

"No."

"Twenty percent then?" Lando's voice choked up, a grown man on the verge of crying.

Flora didn't even look at him, knowing well he was acting. "I won't give you the drugs. But there's one way to save The Red Scorpions: ally with Empire Base."

Allying with Empire Base would deter other hostile forces, and as allies, The Red Scorpions could also access the miracle drugs.

"Ally The Red Scorpions with Empire Base?"

Lando was in disbelief at what he heard. The Red Scorpions and Empire Base had always been at odds, and now Flora suggested an alliance?!

The three leaders were displeased with Lando's reaction. If he was reluctant to ally, they were even less keen on allying with The Red Scorpions.

"Ally, and you get forty percent of the miracle drugs. No alliance, and I wash my hands of you."

Flora was firm.

"From now on, we're one family. Why act like sworn enemies?"

"The Red Scorpions allying with the Empire means as long as The Red Scorpions remain loyal, we'll treat disciples of both with equality, sharing resources and growing together," Connor added, knowing Flora's intentions to reconcile the Empire with The Red Scorpions.

Lando, despite his reluctance and fears of being subdued by Empire Base's disciples, eventually signed the alliance contract unwillingly.

"Master, I'm doing this for you!" Even while signing, Lando didn't miss a chance to play his part. "Otherwise, I'd disdain allying with Empire Base! It's embarrassing! And Master, be careful around Connor, don't get deceived by him..."

Flora slapped the back of Lando's head, nearly giving him a concussion.

"Speak respectfully, call him 'Master Dad.""

Lando, "..."

What a world.
