Chapter 313
Her face showed no sign of welcome.
Jason awkwardly wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Ahem…”
Honestly, he was looking forward to seeing Flora show her stuff. During their last run–in with the mercenaries, Flora hadn’t gone all out, and he was curious just how strong she really was.
Flora flicked her wrist and said casually, “Alright, let’s go.”
With those crisp words, Flora turned to leave, but Jason quickly stepped in her
way.
Just then, Yara walked up, a sly smile on her lips. “Why so upset, Ms. Flora? It’s natural for them to question your abilities since they don’t know you. How about this, Ms. Flora? Spar with me and show them what you’ve got. They’ll be
convinced.”
Flora raised an eyebrow. A match against her?
Whether or not the Enforcement crew respected her was the least of Flora’s worries. She never wanted to be their instructor in the first place. If anyone else had suggested it, she would’ve walked out without a second thought.
But seeing Yara reminded Flora of that incident where someone fired shots, killing a mercenary and sparking a brutal fight.
“Sure, let’s have a match,” Flora said with a meaningful grin.
Though Jason hadn’t known Flora long, he understood her well enough. She wasn’t one to bow to force or provocations.
Her quick agreement caught him off guard.
A cold glint flashed in Yara’s eyes, but she hid it behind a warm, composed smile.
The crowd couldn’t hide their excitement. Despite being a woman, Yara was one of the top fighters at the base, highly respected by the Enforcement members.
But they were even more eager to see Flora in action. Lance, Colton, and even

Chapter 313
Jason had sung her praises. Now they finally had the chance to see for themselves!
Yara wore a loose martial arts robe, while Flora was in a white t–shirt and high–waisted denim shorts–hardly the best outfit for a fight.
Jason arranged for a new set of martial arts robes for her.
Since the Enforcement never had female members, the robes were made for men and hung loosely on Flora, making her look even more slender.
“How about wearing mine? I have a new robe, and I can have someone fetch it from the Medical Division right now,” Yara suggested.
“No need,” Flora said, rolling up her sleeves and pant legs. “This is fine. Let’s start.”
Jason acted as the referee, and with the blow of the whistle, the match began! Yara made the first move, quick and sharp like a swallow darting through the air, aiming right at Flora.
The crowd buzzed with excitement. Yara was as impressive as ever!
Flora didn’t move, her face expressionless as she watched Yara with half–lidded eyes.
Seeing Flora stand still, the crowd grew anxious.
The attack was closing in–why wasn’t she moving?
Could she be frozen with fear?
Even Yara hadn’t expected Flora to remain so still. Knowing Flora’s reputation, Yara had put her full strength into the move, something even Jason would be cautious of.
But Flora seemed utterly unperturbed, which came off as sheer arrogance.
Yara’s eyes grew colder. Flora had been stealing the spotlight lately, and Yara wanted to publicly bring her down a peg, to show everyone she was the only one worthy of the boss. That was her real reason for challenging Flora.
“Ms. Flora! Dodge now, or it’ll be too late!”
As Yara’s strike came within inches, Flora still didn’t budge. Even Lance lost his cool, shouting and stomping his feet in frustration.
The force of Yara’s punch tore through the air, aimed straight at Flora’s neck.
Just a hair’s breadth away!
Many in the crowd couldn’t bear to watch, closing their eyes and muttering that the master and Lance had clearly overhyped Ms, Flora, She seemed just a pampered girl, too scared to even dodge.
Then, a scream pierced the air!
But it wasn’t Flora’s voice–it was Yara’s.
A collective gasp of disbelief followed.
“Holy cow, did I see that right? Just one kick… she sent Yara flying!”
Those who had shut their eyes opened them wide to see Yara being hurled off the platform, slamming into a pillar, then bouncing back onto the platform, face down, sprawled out.
Blood spurted from her mouth, and the sound of bones breaking was
unmistakable.
Flora calmly lowered her leg.
The arena fell into stunned silence.
Jason’s eyes were wide with shock as he stared at Flora.
The Enforcement disciples looked like they’d seen a ghost.
