The crowd instinctively turned their heads towards the sound, and Tara furrowed her brows, lifting her gaze. Her
expression suddenly froze, eyes widening in surprise. It was him...
A man and a woman strolled in side by side, their faces hidden behind golden phoenix masks that gave them an
air of mystery and power. Their presence was commanding, like royalty stepping into the room, making hearts
race and eyes avert. "Boss, Madam!" The Enforcement Division members, upon seeing them, dropped to one
knee in respect, with Rory quickly following suit.
Madam... Tara's eyes fixated on their clasped hands, feeling as if a thousand tiny needles pricked her heart. He

Brother? Flora turned to Connor, her eyes full of challenging curiosity. Oh, the familiarity in that term...
Connor tensed. He didn't even remember where this woman cfrom.
"Connor, Sydney's a friend of mine. Could you please lettake her away? Throwing her out is too harsh," Tara
pleaded softly, her eyes almost shimmering with emotion. Any other man might have melted.
Connor's gaze, however, turned icy. Any woman who upset Flora, anyone trying to cbetween them, was not

"Sister, what honor are you asking for? Where did you get any honor?" Flora laughed lightly. "Are you skind
of dove, always cooing 'brother, brother? And here | am, guarding my man. Are you that desperate for

being foolish, thinking such words would make Connor turn against her.
