Upon hearing this, Neera’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Regardless, she was unable to refute Darren because she knew very well that everything he said was
the truth.
Even though she had gained control over the five districts, bing the district president, the factions
already within these five districts were not willing to submit.
On one hand, it was because those districts had always been without a leader. They had long grown
ustomed to this way of life and didn’t want anyone else to rule over them.
Secondly, those powers held a great deal of distrust toward the Gordon family and her, even looking
down on them.
As Darren said, in their eyes, the Gordon family was nothing more than a third-rate power that wanted
to lord over them.
As for her, she was nothing more than a nameless pawn with no qualifications or abilities. It was merely
by chance that she had lucked into this position.
Hence, quite a few violent incidents had been happening in the districts these days.
Shane was now devoting all his energy to those five districts. However, due to the vast size and the
numerous forces within, he was genuinely feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
Neera was already worried about this issue. She still didn’t expect the guild to bring it up so quickly,
though.
Across from her, Darren sat still as a mountain, his expression brimming with confidence. He casually
picked up his teacup and took another sip. Over the rim of the cup, he peered at Neera with keen
interest.
When she had remained silent for a while, he leisurely said, “Ms. Garcia, why aren’t you speaking? Do
you find my
words too harsh?”
Neera pursed her lips. “No.”
Darren, ying innocent after gaining an advantage, continued, “If I have offended you in any way, I
ask for your understanding. My words may be blunt, but they are not without reason, right? Ms. Garcia,
we genuinely want to help your family stabilize the order in those five districts as soon as possible and
gain their heartfelt trust. This would be entirely beneficial to the Gordon family, wouldn’t it?”
The words spoken sounded impressive, but everyone understood the real situation as clearly as if they
were looking into a mirror.
Just then, Chad slowly began to speak, his voice calm while his emotions were indiscernible.
“Since the guild has spoken, we, the Gordon family, believe it’s better to respectfullyply. Please
thank your president and vice president for their kindness on our behalf. We appreciate your efforts
moving forward.”
Neera looked at him, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Upon locking gazes with him, however, she knew that there was no possibility of refusal from the
Gordon family; they could only agree.
The thought made her feel agitated and extremely dissatisfied.
Yet, she did not forget her identity as the head of the Gordon family and was able to maintain her
composure.

Since Uncle Chad has already said so, I no longer have any reservations. Mr. Torres, could you please
convey my thanks to the president and vice president? The Gordon family has not handled its affairs
well, causing them unnecessary concern. It’s our fault. In the future, the Gordon family will definitely put
in more effort to quickly resolve the turmoil in those districts. With the guild’s involvement, it will
undoubtedly give us a boost, allowing us to resolve the situation faster and more effectively.”
Upon hearing the answer he desired, Darren chuckled contentedly.
“Ms. Garcia, rest assured. Those five districts are still under your control. The guild is merely helping
you reorganize them temporarily. Next, the guild will send a team to work with the Gordon family to
resolve the current issues in those districts.”
Neera smiled insincerely. “I appreciate the guild’s help. I will arrange amodations as soon as
possible and provide the best hospitality for the experts sent by the guild.”

Since Darren had achieved his goal, he left quickly.
Neera and Chad escorted him to the door. After watching his car drive away, their faces fell
simultaneously.
Irritation surged within Neera. “The guild is really overstepping its bounds!”
Chad’s eyes had a thoughtful look in them. “It seems this is aplex trap. Both the Cox and Gordon
families are being manipted by the guild. Not only has the guild suppressed the vigor of both
families, but this has also resulted in them being able to meddle in the affairs of the five districts.
Perhaps they could even gain absolute control over the districts. Hah! This is killing three birds with one
stone. What a cunning scheme!”
“Then what should we do next? Are we just going to stand by and let the guild interfere?”
As they chatted while walking back, Chad’s lips curled up in an inscrutable smile.
“Let the guild intervene? No way! This is the territory you’ve earned through blood, sweat, and tears. If
the guild wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, they’ll have to see if the Gordon family
agrees!”
From those words, Neera understood that they would be challenging the guild.
After some thought, she came up with an idea.
“Uncle Chad, those people sent by the guild will undoubtedly be spies tasked with watching the Gordon
family. I think we shouldn’t let them stay in the Gordon residence. It would be better to arrange for them
to stay somewhere nearby. If the guild asks, we can say it’s for their better care and rest.”
Chad nodded. “Yes, that’s a good idea. There’s a small vi behind the Gordon family’s main house
which would be perfect for them to stay in. There’s absolutely no problem.”
Neera thoughtfully said, “Uncle Chad, the Gordon family is indeed facing a manpower shortage right
now, which is a problem. Do you think you could use your connections to bring in more people? Or we
could hire some temporary workers, At the very least, we won’t be at that much of a disadvantage this
way.”
“I was thinking the same thing…”
