Outside the Dungeon.
The sun was shining just right today, warm and inviting, but Flora couldn't shake the chill that ran through her veins.
"Connor, I need to head over to the Roth estate," she said, her voice rough and determined.
Those fools were asking for trouble, and she was ready to handle them all in one go. Anyone who posed a threat to her family would be dealt with swiftly and completely. If it weren't for Connor's quick thinking, she couldn't bear to imagine the outcome.
"I'll go with you," Connor replied gently, his fingers softly squeezing her cold ones.
"Alright," she nodded.
Flora closed her eyes, replaying the moment when Connor had shown her the paternity test results just thirty minutes ago. The Roth family... It was time to put an end to this.
...
The Roth Family Estate.
Nestled in the heart of the Martial World's most luxurious district, the estate was a grand spectacle. Old-world mansions stretched for miles, like a miniature fortress.
Outside the Roth gates, a line of guards stood at attention, their uniforms crisp, their expressions severe, and their imposing stature warning off any would-be intruders. This was the Roth family, the top dogs. Nobody in their right mind would dare mess with them.
But now, a throng of people was moving steadily towards the estate.
Tara paced in her garden, nerves frayed.
Why hadn't there been any news from Sydney? By now, surely something should've come through. She had even stationed someone at the Enforcement Division to keep tabs, but they hadn't reported back.
The thought of Flora mourning her father and brothers brought a twisted smile to Tara's lips. She squinted with satisfaction, waiting for the good news, until the commotion outside caught her attention. Frowning, she called for a servant and snapped, "What's all that racket outside?"
"Miss, it's the Enforcement Division! There are loads of them!" the servant blurted out nervously. "It's a madhouse out there!"
Tara's face went pale. Why on earth would the Enforcement Division be here? Unless—
"Bang!"
A deafening crash.
The door flew open with a forceful kick!
Tara's heart nearly stopped as she looked up to see two towering men at the entrance, smirking darkly at her.
