    Chapter 820 Marriage Alliance


    Ian stood to the side, his legs trembling.


    He was powerless. Jean exuded an eerie aura. His expression was menacing and sinister. The


    oppression emanating from his body was suffocating.


    A text message saved him when he was at his breaking point.


    He shuddered all over and pulled it out to take a look.


    When he read the content, his spirits rose, and he took a quick step forward.


    After clearing his throat, he began, “Sir, there is progress on the investigation you entrusted me


    earlier!”


    Jean didn’t take his eyes off the screen. He simplymanded coldly, “Speak.”


    “Your guess is absolutely spot on,” Ian said right away. “The Coxes are rted to the Gordons; they


    are a Bartitsu family from Phison.”


    This elicited a response from Jean. He cast a sidelong nce at him and narrowed his eyes,


    wondering, “He’s from Phison?”


    Ian


    gave a nod.


    This Phison was not like the Great Five Cities but rather a self–governing region.


    The Lord of Phison and the Bartitsu Guild were the most powerful rulers in that region. The two


    forces bnce and check each other.


    The hidden Bartitsa families were beneath those two formidable forces.


    “The Coxes wielded great power. They are one of the Bartitsu Guild’s eight elders. Their power far


    outweighs that of the Gordons! Avery is the current ruler of the Coxes. He hasplete control. over


    the Cox family and the Cox Group. We must not underestimate his abilities.”


    With this new information, Jean’s expression remained unchanged.


    He couldn’t care less about Avery’s personal or professional qualities. He was just astounded to learn


    that the Coxes were members of the Bartitsu Guild.


    His gaze was drawn to the man on the screen. His

    Stunned, Ian hesitated to speak.

    darkened.


    Jean shot him a cold look and asked, “What did you find?”


    Sweat began to form on Ian’s back.


    “I also discovered that the Gordons and the Coxes have a marriage alliance agreement,” he said,


    bracing himself to respond.


    Jean’s pupils shrink when he hears this. His momentum deteriorated.


    “What kind of marriage alliance? Make it clear!”


    “This marriage alliance was supposed to be fulfilled by the Chad generation, but there were no girls. in


    his generation, so the wedding was put off. The promise is to be fulfilled by Chad’s offspring, but Chad


    has never been married and has no children. Now that he’s with Aunt Adriana, I’m worried

    Hecked the courage to say more, but Jean got what he was saying.


    If Chad considered Neera to be his sessor, Neera would be required to carry out the duty.


    Jean’splexion became murky as he considered this possibility. His eyes shed with a hint of


    murderous intent.


    After a brief moment of silence, he stated solemnly, “Neera is not a Gordon. She bears no responsibility


    or duty to help the Gordons fulfill thei


    eir marriage alliance!”


    Ian was about to say something, but the lights downstairs dimmed and the auction began.


    Their conversation was cut short.


    Jean abruptly ceased speaking. He just stared at theptop, never taking his gaze away from it.

    The auction scene downstairs, on the other hand, drew Neera’s attention.


    The items on disy at this auction were superb. There were antiques, paintings, jewelry, and other


    items on disy. It was a visual feast with far too many options.


    Neera had a basic understanding of these things. She found it fascinating.


    Her eyes lit up when a piece of jewelry was auctioned off. She showed some interest in it.


    “Oh my! This treasure is hidden here; it’s no surprise I couldn’t find it anywhere else!”


    Hearing this, Avery cast a sidelong nce at her. “You know about this piece?” he inquired.


    Neera’s attention was drawn to the stage. Without looking back, she stated, “Yes, this piece of jewelry


    is said to be a blue diamond excavated from Espiossau; it’s dubbed the Empress Tear. It’s


    very precious.”


    “Do you like it?” Avery asked casually.
