The Miracle Drug Has Arrived!
Chapter 325
Jason, Zack, and Pax were practically buzzing with excitement, every fiber of their being alive with anticipation. They quickly organized a team to welcome the arrival.
Just eight minutes later, everyone from the base gathered in the training field, their eyes glued to the slowly descending helicopter. The air was electric with excitement, except for Connor and Flora, who stood calmly at the back.
The helicopter door opened, and an elderly man in a white lab coat stepped down the stairs slowly.
“Jules!” Jason, Zack, and Pax gasped in unison. They had expected an assistant to deliver the miracle drug, not Jules himself!
Ms. Flora hadn’t given them any heads–up. They could have thrown a whole welcome ceremony!
“Master Jules, you’ve made it! Was the journey exhausting? We’ve got tea and snacks ready for you. Come inside and rest,” Zack said, his smile eager and almost too enthusiastic. They hadn’t received the miracle drug yet, so they were eager to make a good impression.

But Jules barely glanced at him, his eyes scanning the crowd for Flora. There were too many people, and his eyes began to strain. Why was everyone packed in here?
Zack, puzzled, tried again, “Master Jules, you-
Before he could finish, Jules’s face lit up. He bypassed Zack, heading straight into the crowd. The members parted, forming a path wide enough for three people to walk through.

With the crowd out of the way, Connor and Flora stood out clearly at the back.
“Flora!” Jules hurried over to Flora, looking her up and down. “Have they been treating you
well here?”
“No one can make me feel wronged,” Flora shrugged.
“So, someone has* tried to wrong you,” Jules frowned deeply.
They had no idea Flora was at Ruby Path and had come to Empire Base. Otherwise, they would’ve brought more people to support her. This was Connor’s turf, practically like a second home, and a new bride like Flora could easily be mistreated.
“What kind of fiancé are you?” Jules glared at Connor. Even Yara, a mere leader, had insulted Flora repeatedly, showing just how much she must have suffered here. Jules knew all this because of Yara, who had complained about Flora numerous times. He

hadn’t realized she was talking about Flora until later, but once he connected the dots, he knew Flora had been wronged.
Normally, Jules wouldn’t dare speak to Connor like this, but thinking of the hardships Flóra might have faced, anger took over.
“Speak kindly, why so hostile?” Flora looked at Jules, annoyed.
Jules was heartbroken. Indeed, a grown daughter couldn’t be kept at home!
“Master Jules, I’ll take good care of Flora and ensure she’s never wronged,” Connor said, appearing unusually docile. He knew Flora valued Jules as a respected elder, which meant Jules was naturally his elder too.
Zack, Pax, and Jason were stunned. Their boss had such a side? And Master Jules’s concern for Flora was beyond their wildest imagination!
Seeing Jules ready to settle scores, the three leaders and all the base members felt a pang of guilt. Flora had indeed been wronged here. They had doubted her, looked down on her, even slandered her. For a girl in a new environment to face only malice, anyone would have felt terrible and probably would have left. But Flora, with her remarkable abilities, had earned the trust and admiration of all the base members.
In the living room, Connor, Flora, and Jules sat on the couch, with the three leaders standing by. Jules took out a contract from his briefcase, prepared as per Flora’s request. “Here’s the contract. Take a look, and if there’s no issue, sign it,” Jules said.
Zack, who handled these matters, suppressed his excitement and read through the details carefully. When he saw certain clauses, his hands trembled with shock. The contract stated that apart from a necessary portion for the country, all the rest of the miracle drug would be provided to Empire Base!
They had thought Jules would allocate them a small percentage, with the rest going to other forces. But now, he was giving all of it to them!
“Even though we’re all on the same side, we need clear accounts. Apart from the profits. from the drug itself, I want two percent of your base’s annual profits,” Jules said.
The benefits the miracle drug would bring were countless, and two percent of the profits wasn’t much. Other forces had offered nearly half of their profits.
Zack looked at Connor for approval, and after getting a nod, he agreed without hesitation. They knew they were already getting a huge advantage, and Jules was doing this for Flora’s sake.
Jules continued, “The two percent annual profit goes directly into Flora’s account. Also, I hope you understand, I can terminate this contract at any time. I’m signing this contract with you all because of Flora. Let me not hear of her being wronged here again, or you

know the consequences.”
Flora paused from playing with her phone. She truly hadn’t expected Jules to direct the two percent profits entirely to her. She felt a bit helpless, yet warmed by the thought. Jules was establishing her authority in Empire Base.
