Chapter 1234
Leading the pack, with a stern, dark face, was none other than Jonathan himself. As soon as Sydney saw them, her bravado melted away, replaced by visible panic. Her eyelids fluttered nervously. Why on earth had the Enforcement Division shown up out of the blue? And with Jonathan, the Division Chief, no less!
"Jonathan, what brings you here?" Sydney rushed forward, her smile turning a bit too sweet and eager. Her fiancé worked under Jonathan, so she couldn't afford to ruffle his feathers.
And she had the gall to ask why he was here?
Jonathan snorted softly, sneaking a glance at Flora. After all, the boss's favorite had been wronged here. One call from the boss, and Jonathan nearly rushed over without even pulling up his pants.
"If I hadn't come, how would I have known the Medical Hall is so high and mighty? More so than the Enforcement Division, it seems. Miss Flora... you really made an impression just now."
Sydney wiped a trickle of cold sweat from her forehead and quickly stammered, "No, no... I was just following the rules. Flora's from the Mortal World; she's not supposed to enter the Medical Hall."
"Is that right? I wasn't aware of such a rule," Jonathan said, casually polishing his gun. "The Medical Hall's rules are multiplying. Maybe we should add a rule banning the Enforcement Division from entering too?"
Sydney was drenched in cold sweat. "Oh, come on, Jonathan, you're pulling my leg."
"You know it's a joke." Jonathan's expression turned frosty. "So now the Medical Hall has its own class system? Did Corbyn come up with this? Want me to take you to explain it to him personally?"
Sydney's knees wobbled as her lips turned pale. She couldn't utter a word, so Teddy stepped in to support her, trying to smooth things over, "Jonathan, listen, it's actually—"
"Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?" Jonathan snapped, his patience wearing thin. He'd been having a nice day off, lounging in bed and playing mobile mahjong with Reagan, only to be summoned here by the boss. "Flora's entry into the Martial World was personally approved by the Enforcement Division. What, do you have something against her, or is it the Enforcement Division you have a problem with?" "No, no, not at all..."
"Then you'd better behave. If you disrespect Flora again, the Enforcement Division will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life."
After delivering his stern warning, Jonathan finally turned to Flora, his tone softening with a hint of respect, "Miss Flora, go ahead with your friends. I'd love to see who dares to stop you." With Jonathan backing her, no one dared to intervene.
"Let's go," Flora said with a smile. Connor really had her back, even when he wasn't around, he seemed to know whenever she hit a rough patch.
Flora, hands clasped behind her back, confidently led the way into the Medical Hall. Jacob and Carly stood there, flabbergasted. They. hadn't expected the Enforcement Division to appear suddenly, let alone defend them. Realizing what was happening, they quickly fell in line behind Flora.

Sydney's face flushed a deep, embarrassed red. She didn't dare to stop Flora. She couldn't. Flora really lucked out, bumping into someone from the Enforcement Division and getting a free pass into the Medical Hall. Next time, she might not get so lucky.
With her head hung low, Sydney couldn't help but sneak peeks at Flora. Suddenly, her gaze froze on the right pocket of Flora's coat. The pocket was shallow, and from here angle, she could just make out jade plaque tucked inside. She couldn't see it clearly, but she could vaguely tell it was a jade plaque that only someone from the Medical Hall would have. She'd just lost one at the black market a few days ago!
