They formed a protective circle, completely surrounding the old man's crew!

"| told you, you're not going with them!" Connor shouted, grabbing her hand again, raising his voice at Flora for

"I know what I'm doing. All of you, stay put, trust me."
This was directed not only at Connor but also at the old man.
For the first tin days, Flora spoke to him with a gentle tone. Connor was taken aback, and Flora slipped from
his grasp, walking past him. As she passed the old man, she discreetly squeezed his palm
She mouthed a message to him.
Trust me.
She faced the old man: "Let's go."
The old man hadn't expected Flora to willingly go with them, but it was for the best. He guided Flora out.
Connor's men knew how much he cherished Flora, and now with her beside the old man, they didn't dare fire.
