Seeing Aaron Rook's face flush an ugly red, his superpower flaring and on the verge of erupting, Lex Cross sighed. "Flora, how could this be your fault? It's a good thing you weren't the one Nina Rook was trying to kill. If you were..." Lex narrowed his eyes, their warning unmistakable. "I would make the Rook family pay dearly!"
At Lex Cross's words, the hatred in Aaron Rook's eyes faltered, and his furious, resentful expression slowly faded.
"Fine! On behalf of the Rook family, I am severing all ties with the Cross family." He shot Flora Bloom a meaningful glance. "Little girl, you're just a native. If you had obediently laid low, you might have been able to avoid some of this misfortune.
Now that you're mixed up in these murky waters, whether or not you can get out in one piece will depend on just how capable you really are!"
Lex Cross was about to say something more, but Flora Bloom stopped him. "Elder Rook, if there's nothing else, I suggest you leave immediately."
