Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

"Flora, you're out of the running-not just this time, but for good. The Schuler family's right to bring in new talent is gone, and their status as the top family is stripped away too."

Brandon's lips trembled, his mind buzzing with disbelief. What kind of future could a family have if they couldn't bring in fresh faces? Especially with the premier family assessment-every three years, families in the Martial World get ranked, and those at the top enjoy the best resources. Now, without even the chance to compete, they're automatically at the bottom of the barrel.

The Schuler family was done for!

Zavier was just as shaken, and the other family heads exchanged worried glances. The punishment from FUND felt way too harsh.

It seemed like Jonathan had some personal connection to Flora, and everything he did was to back her up.

"Take them away for their punishment," Jonathan ordered.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Brandon and Zavier were like lifeless statues, and with Jonathan's command, four people stepped forward to escort them to the Enforcement Division. Once the dust settled, Jonathan was about to leave. "Jonathan..."

One brave family head called out.

"With the Schuler family out of the picture, does this mean we have a shot now?"

"Yeah, yeah, Jonathan! Since the Schuler family dropped the ball, it should be our turn! Let the Gomez family handle it, we won't trouble everyone else!"

Charles puffed up, trying to sound noble.

"Shameless! Why should your family get it? Going by rankings, it should be mine!"

"Why stick to rankings? If it's about wealth and clout, my family is at the top! This should be our task!"

The old-timers argued heatedly,

faces flushed and voices rising. After all, a genius like Flora doesn't

come around often, and no one

wanted to let this chance slip by.

"Family heads should act with

trying to seem wise and not

decorum," one head shook his head,

He sidled up to Jonathan,

whispering, "Jonathan, the Gilbert family is very committed, maybe..."

"You crafty old fox, trying to sneak in! Get over here!"

"You're the fox, pulling me! Take this!" The so-called dignified elder whipped out a brick and aimed it at someone's head!

Jonathan sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Alright, everyone, calm down!"

But the elders were too caught up in their bickering to pay him any mind.

After a loud cough from Jonathan, they finally quieted, eyes fixed on him.

"I'll mull it over and decide which family gets this opportunity."

Mostly because...

He wasn't in a position to decide where Flora would go.

Jonathan then walked off and called Connor. "Boss."

He quickly laid out the situation in the Martial World. Connor took a moment before responding.

"Give the spot to the Gilbert family."

Among all the families, only the

Gilbert family stood out to him. Not

because they were particularly strong they were pretty

average-but because of their solid morals and their quirky habit fierce loyalty, always carrying a brick, no matter their age or gender.

After hanging up, Connor let Flora know she'd be joining the Gilbert family. Flora just shrugged it off.
