Chapter 1176 Nothing Will Go Wrong
Robin shook his head. “I’m not questioning your abilities. Chad sent you to assist Ms. Garcia, so I’m
sure you’re qualified. However, you have never been to Phison, you are unfamiliar with the terrain of
Mount Cloud, and you don’t understand the conditions of the dense forest, so you are not suited to
come with us.”
Shane nodded in agreement. “I share the same sentiment. Given the current situation, the more
experienced the people entering the dense forest, the better. It should be those who absolutely have to
go, and ideally, they should be familiar with the ce. This is the best way to minimize the risk.”
Upon hearing this, Zephyr furrowed his brows but did not retort. Instead, he turned his gaze toward
Neera.
After some consideration, thetter was also persuaded.
“We’re about to leave. Is there time to find someone else?”
At once, Robin shot the person following him on the left a nce, signaling him to step forward.
“No need to find anyone. In consideration of your shortage of people, I’ve brought two men with me for
this exact reason and hopefully, one of them can be of use. Thisd’s name is Wesley Gordon, a
trusted-aide of mine and a rare master of his caliber. Let him apany you. Beyond this, I can’t offer
much help. Consider this as a token of my goodwill.”
Neera felt a warmth in her heart at those words.
She knew Robin was using the opportunity to demonstrate his loyalty, affirming his stance of taking her
side.
With his assistance and support, Neera felt much more at ease.
Thus, she did not turn him down. “Then I’ll take you up on your offer and borrow your man for a bit. My
sincerest apologies for any trouble I may have caused.”
Robin waved an airy hand. “You are the heir apparent. Assisting you and lending a helping hand is my
duty. There’s no need for such formality. You must be extremely careful, Ms. Garcia, and return safely.”
Neera nodded. “Rest assured, I will.”
sarcasm
At that moment, a voiceced sounded.
“You sound so sure of yourself. It appears that you’re unaware of the dangers here. You’d better hope
for the best and try not to lose your life in this dense forest.”
The sarcastic remark, at such a tense moment, was particrly grating.
Neera’s eyes darkened. Shane and Avery’s expressions also turned grim.
Robin, however, remainedposed. His tone hardening, he retorted at once, “This matter concerns
the future of our family, Baxter. How can you act as if it’s none of your business, even being in the
mood to make such sarcastic remarks? Have you forgotten who you are?”
Though Baxter threw his weight around as an elder and raised his voice against Neera, he felt
somewhat apprehensive toward Robin.
Thus, he pursed his lips, electing not to confront his brother directly.
“I’m not being sarcastic. I’m just reminding her to return in one piece. I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?
There’s no need to overreact, Robin.”
Neera gave a little nod. The trifling incident did not bother her in the slightest.
Once everybody was ready, the group set off for Mount Cloud.
There was a massive circr za at the foot of the mountain.
When they arrived, there were already small clusters of people standing in almost every corner of the
square.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
After observing them for a while, Neera realized she had seen many of those present at the meeting.
On the other hand, the others were new faces; she did not remember them at all.
“Who are those people? Why haven’t I seen them before? Are they also from Bartitsu Guild?” she
asked Shane quietly, who was beside her.
“There are many I don’t recognize either, but they are probably,part of the forces dispatched by
Lordsworth Estate,” he answered. “The position of district president is not solely a contest within
Bartitsu Guild, but apetition between Lordsworth Estate and Bartitsu Guild. Everybody wants
control over these five regions. Whichever side manages to seize the position of district president will
see a significant increase in power, breaking this delicate bnce between thepeting forces.”
