Chapter 1207

At the grand gathering, Jonathan gave a casual "Hmm" in response to the crowd's respectful greetings, his sharp, icy gaze briefly landing on Lillian and sending a chill down her spine.

Brandon was also a bit uneasy around Jonathan. The elusive owner behind FUND rarely made appearances, and the organization was run by Jonathan and Reagan. Known for his strict enforcement and no-nonsense methods, Jonathan was someone the major families

"Jonathan, Flora is definitely a Martialist," Brandon asserted, stepping forward. "Flora injured my daughter. How could an ordinary person cause such harm?"

"Exactly," Zavier chimed in. "My sister gave it her all, yet couldn't land a single strike on Flora. Her speed is way beyond that of an ordinary person. She must be a Martialist." "Jonathan, you need to arrest her now!" Lillian screeched, already picturing Flora's grim fate.
