    Chapter 1169 Do You Think They Dare To Act Now


    Avery maintained an air of indifference, his eyebrows barely flinching.

    “Mr. Gardner, this is an issue between the Gordon family and the Jennings family. Let them resolve it


    on their own. It’s advisable for outsiders not to meddle.”


    “You-” Solomon, growing frustrated, countered, “This is enabling! Don’t assume that just because the


    Cox family and the Gordon family are in alliance, you can dictate terms within the Bartitsu Guild. The


    Bartitsu Guild is not a ce where you can always have your way!”


    In contrast, Neera let out a soft chuckle, her striking eyes tinged with a hint of mockery.


    “Mr. Gardner, why do you always twist the intentions of others? I never aspired to dominate within the


    Bartitsu Guild or assert undue authority. From the very start, it was the Jennings family causing the


    disruption. If you wish to mediate, why don’t you counsel the Jennings family? You im that Mr. Cox


    favors the Gordon family, but why don’t you acknowledge your favoritism toward the Jennings family in


    their wrongful actions? What kind of logic is that?”


    She possessed a gift for logical reasoning, and if the other party sought trouble, she had no qualms


    about teaching them a lesson.


    “Moreover, Ms. Jennings insulted and ndered me and the Gordon family. She disyed no respect.


    If I had done nothing, wouldn’t it have made the Gordon family aughingstock? Mr. Gardner, suppose


    someone recklessly trampled on the dignity of your family. Would you still stand by with a smile and


    offer your hand for them to strike? If so, I must say, I would genuinely admire you…”


    Solomon couldn’t believe the audacity of this youngdy.


    Despite her youth andck of a prominent background, on her very first appearance in such a setting,


    she showed no signs of intimidation.


    Instead, she exuded confidence and the capacity to contend with others.


    He had clearly underestimated her!


    At that moment, he found himself struck dumb, his face flushing with frustration.


    Yet, as the head of the Gardner family, revealing his emotions too openly, especially in front of an


    unfamiliar youngdy, would be a source of embarrassment.


    Consequently, he repressed his anger, attempting to salvage hisposure.


    “Youngdy, where do your words lead us? We are all members of the Bartitsu Guild,rades within


    the same. faction. We should treat each other with respect and avoid unnecessary conflicts that tarnish


    everyone’s reputation, don’t you agree?”


    Neera regarded him calmly, her inner amusement unmistakable.


    Just moments ago, he had been overbearing, and now he was trying to y peacemaker.


    It was toote for that.


    If it hadn’t already besmirched the Gordon family’s reputation, she might have considered a different


    approach.


    However, as the head of the Gordon family, to back down now after being verbally attacked right from


    the outset, and in front of so many witnesses, would truly disgrace the Gordon family!


    “Mr. Gardner’s words hold merit; mutual respect is essential,” Neera stated after a brief pause, her tone


    measured and devoid of emotion. “I believe that, as leaders of our respective families, we should


    distinguish ourselves in bothpetence and character. Given our shared rationality, resolving this


    matter should be straightforward. Ms. Jennings may have acted hastily and shown disrespect to the


    Gordon family. I don’t wish to escte this any further. Why don’t we all take a step back? If Ms.


    Jennings genuinely offers an apology, my people will step aside immediately, and we can consider this


    matter closed. What do you think?”


    -Once Neera was done with her statement, Ste erupted in anger.

    “Who do you think you are? Why should I apologize to you? You, of all people…”


    Her words were abruptly cut off as Charles’ de crept nearer, leaving a visible mark on her skin.


    Ste, trembling with fear, let out a high-pitched cry. “You-You’re serious? How dare you…”


    Neera’s lips curved into a sly, half-smile. “Don’t assume I’m bluffing. I can’t afford to jest with you.”


    “Do you believe the Gordon family holds such sway that the Jennings family would cower in fear?”


    Ste challenged.


    “Very well, let’s go all out and find out,” Neera responded, her tone growing more casual. In moments


    like these, she needed to stand her ground; no matter what, she couldn’t afford to lose her momentum.


    “But here’s the unfortunate reality: to catch a thief, you must first catch their leader. Your life is at the


    mercy of my people right now. Even if your associates are skilled, they can’t stop the de at your


    throat. Do you think they dare to act now?”
