    Ste’splexion shifted between pale and crimson. She stole a nce at her own attendants and


    discerned their hesitation; their frustration was palpable.


    The room’s tension became even more intense, filling the entire hall with an electrifying atmosphere.


    Everyone eagerly observed, hoping the two families would engage in conflict.


    Neera nced at the time, disying signs of impatience.


    “It’s quite straightforward, Ms. Jennings. Either offer an apology or take action. Let’s not waste


    everyone’s time with procrastination.”


    Ste realized that her side had lost the upper hand, and her frustration was overwhelming.


    Finally, she gritted her teeth, quelling her anger, and mumbled an apology. “I’m… I’m sorry.”


    Neera cupped her ear mockingly. “Pardon? Ms. Jennings, your voice is rather soft. I can’t quite hear


    you.”


    Ste’s face flushed with humiliation, and she raised her voice, nearly shouting her apology. “I’m sorry,


    all right?”


    This time, Neera appeared satisfied and smiled. “Charles, release her.”


    Without dy, Charles, wearing a stern expression, stepped back and returned to Neera’s side.


    Ste touched the faint blood streak on her neck, her anger reaching its boiling point.


    “Neera, mark my words! One day, you’ll realize just how formidable I am! When that dayes, the


    humiliation I endured today will return to you tenfold!”


    Neera shrugged indifferently. “Sure, I’ll be waiting.”


    Just then, a group of individuals entered the room, breaking the tense atmosphere.


    “Is everyone present?” With the approaching footfalls, a voice as resonant as a tolling bell rang out.


    Neera followed the sound to find the speaker at the head of the group.


    He seemed to hold an exceptionally high status, exuding an aura of grandeur. He was apanied by


    a retinue of ck-d bodyguards.


    His age appeared to be around sixty, with distinguished white hair at his temples. His slender figure


    carried a hint of sharpness, giving him an air of danger.


    His eyes, in particr, resembled those of a venomous serpent, radiating a chilling presence that sent


    shivers down one’s spine.


    His very presence demanded respect and obedience from everyone in the room, who had all stood up


    for him.


    As he took his seat at the head of the gathering, everyone greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Lozano!”


    During this brief moment, Shane whispered to Neera, “This is Matthew Lozano, the vice president of


    the Bartitsu Guild.”


    Neera nodded in understanding and joined in with a courteous greeting.

    Matthew turned his gaze toward her and began speaking in aposed manner. “The Bartitsu Guild


    hasn’t weed new faces for quite some time. This youngdy is the new head of the Gordon family,


    correct?”

    Neera maintained herposure and replied with grace, “Yes, I’m Neera, the current head of the


    Gordon family. I am honored to have been invited to this meeting today.”


    Matthew nodded before speaking in a polite tone. “Ms. Garcia, you are being too modest. There’s no


    need for such formality. The Bartitsu Guild is like arge family, and we all have our roles to y. As


    the head of the Gordon family, your presence here is only natural.”


    After some brief pleasantries, he transitioned to the main topic.


    “I believe all the heads of the families have gathered. I apologize for the wait. The reason for our


    gathering is the impending district president election. We all understand the significance of the district


    president’s role within the Bartitsu Guild. I trust that each head will put forth their utmost effort to secure


    this position, as it would greatly benefit the growth of our Bartitsu Guild.”


    Such diplomatic rhetoric did not go unnoticed, as each person present had their own agenda and


    calctions.


    Matthew surveyed the room, seemingly attuned to their unspoken thoughts.


    After a brief pause, he continued, “There is another significant announcement to make. The individual


    who secures the district president’s position in this election will lead to the Bartitsu Guild establishing


    an additional elder seat, expanding our council to nine members.”


    With a deep understanding of the Bartitsu Guild and his high-ranking status, he had be quite the


    political strategist and sought to avoid creating adversaries among the present factions.


    Upon hearing this news, excitement rippled through the room, with everyone eager to participate.


    However, at that very moment, Ste rose from her seat.


    First, she shot a hostile nce at Neera and then turned to Matthew, openly voicing her objection.


    “Mr. Lozano, I believe the Gordon family is unqualified topete!”


    Matthew narrowed his eyes and inquired, “And why do you say that?”


    Ste seemed prepared for his question and smiled, seemingly triumphant.

    “I’ve heard that the new head of the Gordon family, Ms. Garcia, has connections with Lordsworth


    Estate. When she initially appeared at the Gordon family, asserting her position as the head, she faced


    resistance from the Gordons. Later, the deputy lord of Lordsworth Estate visited the Gordon family to


    support her, effectively securing her position as head. The current situation within the Gordon family is


    unclear, and we are uncertain about the extent of her ties to Lordsworth Estate. Such an influence


    could potentially betray the Bartitsu Guild in secret at any time. How can we allow her to participate in


    the election?”


    As soon as she finished speaking, Solomon, unwilling to be outdone, chimed in.


    “She’s absolutely right! The Gordon family’s present circumstances are uncertain, and it is not suitable


    for them to be involved!”
