"Boss, we've got a letter from Jules," Moss announced, looking serious.
"What does it say?" Zack perked up instantly.
They'd been negotiating with Jules for two weeks, and messages from him were rare.
Could it be progress on the miracle drug?
Moss looked uneasy. "Jules said he could give us a batch of the miracle drug, but only because of Yara. She has to be the one to receive it."
Zack's excitement soared at the beginning of the message, but the last part felt like a bucket of ice water, leaving him utterly deflated.
His expression was downright miserable. The boss had driven Yara away, and now that the miracle drug was within reach, they couldn't even touch it.
"Boss, I really think the issue with Yara might just be a misunderstanding," Zack said, rubbing his hands together and letting out a nervous laugh. "Yara's been at the base for years; she's done a lot for us. Saying she wanted to leave was probably just her speaking in anger. If you reached out to her, I'm sure she'd come back."
Connor remained silent, and Zack, sensing the futility, stopped talking.
They all knew their boss too well.
There was no way he was going to swallow his pride and ask Yara back.

News about the miracle drug spread like wildfire throughout the base, thanks to some unseen hand stirring the pot.
The disciples at the base had been desperate for the drug, and now that there was finally a chance to get it, it was all ruined because of Flora.
Everyone blamed Flora; if it weren't for her, Yara wouldn't have left, and the drug would be theirs.
Dissatisfaction was rampant throughout the base. The disciples were less diligent in their training, and the leaders constantly looked troubled. They wished they could convince Connor to put the greater good first and reach out to Yara, but they knew it was a lost cause.
Yara knew the base was in turmoil over the miracle drug. She thought Connor would come crawling back soon, but a day passed without a word from him.
Even her things, which she hadn't had time to pack, were thrown out.
Yara was livid.
Any last bit of hope she had was extinguished.
Since Connor was so heartless, she no longer had any reason to consider his feelings.
After leaving the hotel, Yara headed straight for The Red Scorpions.
So, while the base was filled with complaints and lamentations, another bombshell dropped.
Yara had joined The Red Scorpions, and the miracle drug would be supplied to them.
Any disciple from the base willing to join The Red Scorpions would receive five doses of the miracle drug each month.
The miracle drug was incredibly valuable; just one dose could significantly enhance one's abilities.
