Andrew set down his fountain pen, pausing for a moment before suddenly popping the question, “So, is Flora really tied up with Lone Island?”
Mr. Atticus couldn't stand the mere mention of Flora's name. It was like a sour note in his day.
Flora was his nemesis, no doubt about it. First, she embarrassed him on the island, turning him into the laughingstock of all the big players, and then she made off with Selene. That stunt dropped his medical organization to an unprecedented third place in this year's league. The higher-ups were not pleased, and he was getting all sorts of side-eye from them.
Taking a deep breath, Mr. Atticus replied, “Seems like it. Flora’s got some strong ties with the four major families.”
Andrew mulled it over, “Alright, let’s hold off on Club 257 for now.”
Flora was tight with Crimson. If they went after Club 257, Flora would undoubtedly step in to defend it. Andrew didn’t see Flora, just a young girl, as much of a threat, but Lone Island was a different story.
Mr. Atticus nodded, understanding Andrew’s strategy, his gaze growing more contemplative. The girl he once underestimated had become a force the medical base needed to reckon with.
“Oh, and by the way,” Andrew added, “I remember Flora’s got a dad and some brothers, just ordinary folks from Austenberg. Keep tabs on them.”
If Flora was going to be a thorn in the side of the medical organization, her family might just be her weak spot.
“Got it,” Mr. Atticus agreed, a shrewd glint in his eyes.

Flora’s birthday rolled around, and the medical base went all out. They strung up banners wishing her the best for her twentieth birthday, gave everyone a day off, and even the cafeteria served up free meals all day. The chefs pulled out all the stops, and the food was way better than usual!
