Chapter 1136
Chapter 1136 Could Not Resist Anymore
The members of the Gordon family were taken aback by this unexpected turn of events. They stood up
one by one, their expressions filled with disbelief as they looked around at the people surrounding
them. Clearly, they hadn’t anticipated Neera’s audacity in organizing such a bold move against them.
Baxter quickly grasped the situation and erupted intoughter. “Well, well, quite audacious, aren’t you?
So, this is the girl Chad chose, huh? Do you really think you can rule the roost just because you’ve
been given a little power? You truly have no idea of your limits! Since you’re ready to fight, then I won’t
hold back either!”
With those words hanging in the air, he bellowed, “Men!” In an instant, another wave of individuals
flooded into the
room.
He was clearly prepared, for his men even outnumbered the ones led by Zephyr.
Suddenly, the vast main hall waspletely surrounded, packed tightly both inside and out.
The faces of everyone present were grim, the atmosphere tense and charged with animosity, creating a
palpable sense of impending conflict.
The tension in the air was so thick that it seemed a mere spark could set off an explosion, engulfing the
entire
room.
This was the first time Neera had witnessed such an intimidating show of force. To say she wasn’t the
least bit scared would be an overstatement of her courage.
However, she managed to maintain herposure. Despite the myriad emotions rushing through her,
her demeanor remained remarkablyposed.
With a subtle raise of her eyebrow and a nonchnt chuckle, she remarked, “It appears you’ve made
up your mind to defy Mr. Gordon’s orders.”
With arms folded across his chest, Baxter sneered. “Mr. Gordon’s orders? If Chad truly cared for the
Gordon family, he wouldn’t have made such a reckless decision! As an elder of the family, it’s my duty
to assist the family head. If he’s made a decision that puts our family at risk, it’s my duty to guide him
away from this disastrous path and eradicate any potential threats.”
Eradicate?
Neera’s gaze turned cold.
Just then, Avery stepped forward, positioning himself in front of her.
He said, “Mr. Baxter, do you really want things to escte this far? If so, I’ll have to involve our people
from the Cox family as well.”
Having reached this point of open hostility, Baxter had no reason to fear or hold back anymore.
He no longer treated Avery with courtesy as he growled, “Bring it on, I’m not afraid of you! Avery, just
because the Cox family has a standing in the Bartitsu Guild, it doesn’t mean you can dictate terms in
the Gordon family. You keep referring to her as your fiancée, but isn’t that just wishful thinking on your
part? Remember, your marriage alliance with the Gordon family isn’t set in stone yet! The Cox family
has absolutely no ties with the Gordon family! Even though you’re the esteemed head of the Cox
family, the matters of the Gordon family are none of your concern. There’s no need for you to act like
you’re in charge here!”

Ever since Avery became the head of the family, no one had ever dared to confront him like this. His
expression quickly turned grim, freezing over with an icy, intimidating demeanor.

“Is that so?” he responded, his tone chilling, seemingly solidifying into icy resolve. “Regardless, I’m
adamant about intervening today! I’m curious to know if it’s your mouth that’s resilient or my men’s fists
that are unyielding! Irwin, bring them in!”
At hismand, Irwin swiftly led his men in.
Both sides immediately engaged in a fight, their fists colliding in a flurry of action.
The vast hall grew stiflingly narrow as pandemonium broke loose, transforming the once orderly scene
into sheer mayhem.
Neera hadn’t expected the situation would spiral out of control like this.
However, the current situation was akin to a loosed arrow, and there was no way to reverse it. She had
no choice but to allow events to progress.
With a swift move, Charles skillfully subdued the approaching assants, knocking them down
effortlessly. His eyes darted in all directions, ears keenly tuned to the surroundings, channeling his
complete focus on protecting Neera. He guided her carefully to the side, maintaining a vignt guard.
All the while, Avery and Shane stood on either side, guarding her protectively.
“What’s the n for wrapping this up?” Neera asked Charles in a hushed tone, her uncertainty evident.
Charles replied, “We have no choice but to fight.”
A slight frown creased Neera’s forehead. “If news of this gets out, the Gordon family will be a
laughingstock,” she murmured.
After all, family issues should not be aired in public.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Garcia. This won’t be public. Mr. Robin will take care of it.”
Neera nodded, relief flooding her heart.
Meanwhile, the chaos in front of them continued, with both sides trading blows, making it hard to
discern which party held the upper hand at the moment.
It didn’t help that these individuals were seasoned Bartitsu experts. Every move they made was precise
and deadly, each punch or palm strike capable of severely injuring and incapacitating their opponents,
causing them to copse and lose consciousness.
As Neera took in the heart-stopping scene before her, she felt her perspective on things was once
again being profoundly reshaped.
As time passed, she grew increasingly uneasy as she noticed that their side was beginning to lose
ground.
It wasn’t that her teamcked skills; rather, facing four opponents with only two fighters proved
challenging. Even whenbining her forces with Avery’s, they couldn’t match half the strength of their
adversaries.
It was evident that Baxter had nned to resolve the conflict through force. He had mobilized a vast
number of men and resources, far beyond what anyone could have anticipated.
Moreover, it was indeed inappropriate for Avery to involve himself in the Gordon family’s affairs, hence
he refrained from bringing too many people.
In the end, Charles was left with no choice but to charge in as well when he realized the dire situation.
Believing it was strategic to capture the ringleader first, he paid no attention to the minor threats and
focused his assault on Troy and Ollie, who were shielding Baxter.
These two brothers are both highly skilled Bartitsu experts. They won’t be easy to deal with.
While the three of them were entangled in the skirmish, Baxter didn’t waste any time and issued a
commanding order, “Seize Neera! She’s the one disturbing the peace of the Gordon family, conspiring
with outsiders, and causing turmoil. We must catch her and hold her ountable!”
Upon receiving his orders, his men immediately turned and charged toward Neera
Avery’s gaze grew icy. He kicked aside the oing assants and positioned himself protectively in
front of Neera.
However, his body hadn’t fully recovered and couldn’t withstand such exertion.
The attackers fought ferociously, causing his brows to furrow tightly. He tried to hold his ground, but his
already weakened body started to give way under the relentless assault.
Seeing that both his sons were locked in battle with Charles, and realizing that Avery was held back by
the others, Baxter decided to take matters into his own hands.
Having trained in martial arts since childhood, he had developed remarkable physical prowess. Despite
his advancing age, he retained remarkable agility.
Before Neera could even register what was happening, he was right upon her, his hand akin to a
hawk’s w, bearing down on her throat.
