Chapter 323
“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.
This news enraged most of the base’s disciples.
Despite their desire for the drug, they had their principles and would not betray the base.
Yara’s actions only deepened their disdain for her.
But the Medical Division was thrilled.
They were Yara’s protégés, trained by her personally. Now they had the opportunity to rejoin her and get the miracle drug, achieving two goals at once.
Nearly two–thirds of the Medical Division disciples volunteered to leave the base.
“Boss, Yara has gone too far! After all her time at the base, she actually turned against us!” Zack was fuming, regetting ever speaking well of her to the boss. She turned out to be nothing but a snake!
Pax was just as furious. “It’s just a miracle drug. Our base’s disciples are the best of the best. Even without that so–called miracle drug, we can still outperform them!”
“Yara even used the miracle drug as bait. She’s aligning all Ruby Path forces with The Red Scorpions against us,” Jason said, laughing in disbelief. “Does she really think that bunch of nobodies can shake us?”
Connor sat in the middle of the sofa, his expression cold and unreadable.
When Flora walked in with Colton and Lance, she heard their conversation and raised an eyebrow.
“Ms. Flora, how’s Adler doing?” Jason’s anger seemed to dissipate a bit at the sight of her. “He’s doing well, already able to eat.”
They’d been too busy to care for Adler these past few days, leaving Flora to tend to him

tirelessly.
Now Zack was incredibly fond of Flora, realizing how blind he had been to have ever liked Yara, that venomous woman!
“Don’t worry about the miracle drug. I’ve already taken care of it.”
Seeing their worried faces, Flora said calmly, “I’ve been in touch with Jules. He’s already sent the miracle drug. It should arrive by the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
The room fell silent at her words.
“Ms. Flora, what did you say?” Zack thought he might have misheard.
Flora repeated herself, “Actually, the miracle drug isn’t as mystical as you’ve made it out to be. It indeed has a remarkable effect on strengthening the body and can help improve one’s abilities quickly, but ultimately, it’s still up to the individual.”
“Ms. Flofa, what’s your relationship with Jules?” The leaders stared at her intently.
Anyone else, and they would have thought she was boasting.
Yara was Jules’s niece, and Jules had announced he would give the drug to Yara. How could Flora possibly get Jules’s miracle drug?
“We’re pretty close,” Flora said casually, taking a seat next to Connor.
“Thanks for your hard work, Flora,” Connor said, reaching out to stroke her hair softly.
“Then tonight, Mr. Connor can treat me as a reward.”
