Chapter 1267
Upon hearing this, Kenneth narrowed his eyes at Flora. It was her again.
"Jacob, Carly, did you guys mess up again?" Hawthorn shot, not even bothering to ask for reasons and immediately placing the blame on Jacob and Carly.
Jacob was livid! After everything they'd been through these past few days, being bullied left and right, and even dragging Flora into it, now Hawthorn was trying to pin the whole thing on them. Enough was enough! "What do you mean we messed up? Don't talk to me like your brain's wrapped in cobwebs. It's nauseating!"
Jacob was at his boiling point: "Hawthorn, do you even realize what you've done these past few days? Do I need to lay it all out for you?"
"Shut it!" Hawthorn barked. "Who are you calling 'old man'? Get out of here!"
Jacob, who was one of his trainees, dared to talk back at him like that, challenging Hawthorn's authority, especially in front of Rory and Kenneth. It was humiliating.
More importantly, Hawthorn feared Jacob might spill some beans that were better left unsaid, so he hastily kicked him out!
"Me, leave?" Jacob retorted like a porcupine bristling with spikes. "Carson, Hawthorn's been targeting us in training! If you don't believe me, ask anyone. Look at these marks!"
With that, Jacob pulled up his sleeves, revealing bruises and cuts all over.
These were the results of excessive training.
Seeing these glaring injuries, Flora, who had been standing nonchalantly, straightened up, her eyes flashing with icy determination.
Hawthorn started to squirm: "Carson, don't listen to that nonsense. I didn't, I..."
"Shut up." Rory cut him off, turning to Kenneth: "Is he one of your guys? Did you know about this?"
Kenneth pursed his lips, ready to protest, but Rory interrupted: "Alright, so you did know."
"I asked you guys to train people, and this is what you do?"Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Kenneth, you're something else. I believe I've already let it slide once, you and your soldiers..."
"It's not like that, Carson, I really Hawthorn was s knowing full well he

"I might've been a bit too hard on Jacob and the others, but I never targeted anyone on purpose! I'll change, okay? I was just trying to push them to be better. I'll watch my methods from now on!"
"No need."
A
iciest winter:
"You're no longer amet
instructor. You're out of the
Enforcement Division." Covenet
weover.
Such a devious person had hurt her friend and thought he could continue training? He was dreaming.
Hearing Flora's voice, Hawthorn instinctively turned toward her.
He'd heard Teddy call her Flora.
Was she really the woman who'd just come up from the Mortal World?
Who did she think she was, acting like she could kick him out of the Enforcement Division with just a few words!
Hawthorn thought disdainfully.
In the next moment.
He heard Rory's respectful reply.
"As you wish, madam."
Madam?!
The room froze.
Jacob and Carly's eyes were wide as saucers. Why was Rory addressing Flora with such reverence?!
Meanwhile, Kenneth and Hawthorn whirled to look at Flora, disbelief slowly filling their eyes...
