Chapter 327
“It’s impossible! My uncle values that miracle drug way too much to just hand it all over to Empire Base! You’re either lying, or you used some sneaky trick to get it!”
This was the best explanation Yara could muster.
“Underhanded? Us? We wouldn’t dream of stooping as low as you. Betraying your friends and then turning on them? That’s your style, not ours.”
“Yara, do you really think the base can’t manage without you? Let me tell you, our boss‘ fiancée is miles ahead of you in every way. Thinking you could even dream of our boss? Please, take a good look in the mirror first.”
“She doesn’t even come close to our Ms. Flora. She’s not even worthy of tying her shoes!”
The three leaders, along with the base disciples, took turns mocking Yara, nearly driving her to a heart attack with their sharp words.
“Lando, instead of wasting your time here, you should be figuring out how to explain this mess to the other factions.”
Lando had previously used the miracle drug to persuade various factions, both big and small, to risk offending Empire Base and ally with The Red Scorpions.

Now, with the miracle drug gone, Lando had no way to appease those factions.
Even without Empire Base lifting a finger, those factions alone would give them a hard
time.
Lando’s face darkened as he looked at the contract in Zack’s hand, his expression sour as if he’d swallowed something rotten.
Had Jules lost his mind? Actually signing a deal with Empire Base?
He had called Jules several times, but no answer. He even tried calling Flora, but still no
luck.
Master, you’re the only one who can stop Jules from making a huge mistake, why aren’t you answering?
“Say it again, call Jules out!” Lando had lost all patience, his gaunt eyes glaring at the three leaders as he spoke coldly.
If they didn’t bring out Jules, they were ready to storm in.
They had come prepared for this.
“What are you all eagerly waiting for me to come out for?”
Just then, Jules strolled out leisurely.

Chapter 327
Seeing him, Yara couldn’t wait to exclaim, “Uncle!”
“Uncle, you know what Empire Base has done to me. Why would you give them the miracle drug?” Tears welled up in Yara’s eyes, as if she’d suffered the greatest injustice.
But she failed to notice that at this moment, Lando was staring intently at Flora beside Jules, his face a picture of shock.
Jules looked at her feigned pitiful appearance and sneered, raising his hand to deliver a harsh slap.
“Shut up! Do you really need me to remind you of your own deeds?”
“Uncle…” Yara was dazed by the slap, unable to comprehend why Jules would hit her…
She was confused, but the reason for Lando’s reaction upon seeing Flora was becoming clearer…
No wonder Jules had uncharacteristically given the miracle drug to Empire Base; it turned out his mentor was at the base.
Then seeing Flora and Connor holding hands, Lando had an epiphany!
“Why didn’t you tell me Connor’s fiancée was Flora!”
Lando confronted Yara, his face as colorful as a painter’s palette.

Thinking back to when he had spoken ill of Flora alongside Yara, he was both angry and annoyed. Without waiting for Yara’s reply, he slapped her hard across the face!
