    Before long, the group entered the mansion and sat down facing each other.


    The two elders of the Cox family began to report. “The election for district president at Phison is about


    to begin. The Cox family has been invited as one of the Eight Elders of Bartitsu Guild. As the Gordon


    family is also a major family in Phison, they are naturally invited as well.”


    That was the first time Neera had heard the name “Phison”.


    She didn’t quite understand and asked with confusion, “What is the election for district president?”


    The elders hesitated for a moment and looked at each other, unsure of how to exin.


    At that moment, Avery began to speak, answering her questions and clearing her doubts.


    “Let me exin,” he said. “Neera, you probably haven’t heard of Phison before, have you?”


    Neera willingly nodded in confusion. “What ce is that?”


    “Phison, as the name suggests, is a city that has emerged independently, apart from the existing Great


    Five Cities. There are also entities like countries within them, but in Phison, they are referred to as


    districts. Within Phison, one of the most influential powers is the lord of Phison. The other is Bartitsu


    Guild. Those two entities bnce each other out, holding the most sway in discussions. Yet, they are


    ipatible and are considered rivals across generations. On Bartitsu Guild’s side, there are Eight


    Elders, and the Cox family is one of them. There are seven major families under the Lord of Phison.


    Below those seven, there are numerous smaller families separated into various categories. There are


    twenty-five districts in Phison, which you can also consider as twenty-five countries. The Lord of Phison


    and Bartitsu Guild each control ten districts. The remaining five districts arends of chaos. Those who


    frequent such ces are ruthless individuals. However, over the years, the Lord of Phison and Bartitsu


    Guild have been engaged in a strategic game. They each have ns to take control of the remaining


    five districts. Therefore, the forces under theirmand often find themselves shing against each


    other. Decades ago, both parties made an agreement to select a powerful force to rule those five


    districts, with a change in leadership every five years.”


    Upon ending his sentence, he turned to look at Neera, his gaze somewhat profound. “During the


    previous election, the Gordon family was also on the candidate list. However, Mr. Gordon wasn’t


    interested, so he decisively withdrew. Unfortunately, the Gordon family has been selected again this


    time.”


    Neera was puzzled. It took a moment before she gradually digested what Avery had said.


    Meeting Avery’s gaze, she was somewhat taken aback, not expecting things to be soplicated.


    “Uncle Chad doesn’t want to do it, and neither do I. Perhaps the Gordon family should withdraw this


    time as well.” Neera couldn’t even figure out her own affairs at that moment, and she was already


    exhausted every day. She simply didn’t have the energy or inclination to deal with something like the


    election.


    However, the two elders vetoed her idea. “A few years ago, that may have been eptable, but this


    time, we may be at a disadvantage. It’s said that the Lord of Phison hasn’t been seen for nearly five or


    six years. Many people specte that he might have had an ident. Therefore, Bartitsu Guild has


    issued a strict order that the Gordon family must participate in the election this time!”


    Avery apologized. “The Gordon family and the Cox family have always been close. In a way, they are


    under the Cox family.”


    He advised earnestly, “I know you aren’t interested in this, but it’s best not to offend Bartitsu Guild. If


    things go wrong, it may lead to the downfall of the Gordon family!”


    Upon hearing that, Neera couldn’t help but frown. She hadn’t expected the situation to be that serious.


    Seeing her serious expression, Avery began tough elegantly. “You don’t have to be so nervous.


    Nothing is absolute. If you really don’t want to, I can help you. I can talk to the president on your behalf.


    As soon as those words were spoken, the two elders exchanged nces, both wanting to say


    something.


    It was true that the Cox family was one of the Eight Elders and had a certain degree of influence.


    However, in reality, thepetition among the Eight Elders was fierce, with many of them being rivals


    of the Cox family.


    In other words, if Avery acted like that, it might invite some serious trouble to the Cox family.
