Nelson’s pupils suddenly constricted when he heard that. “What did you say?”
The person nced at him but didn’t respond.
Avery shifted his gaze toward him. “What’s the matter? Are you too excited, or too scared, to the point
where you can’t even understand what’s being said?”
Nelson gritted his teeth, and his previously rxed demeanor instantly changed. He finally revealed a
tense expression.

“Avery, stop trying to intimidate people here. You think by staging this drama with these people, I will
fall for it and the situation will change? You can’t be that naive, can you? It seems I overestimated you
before. I-”
Before he could finish speaking, Avery interrupted him with a coldugh.
“Who is the naive one here, Nelson? Are you truly arrogant, or just unwilling to ept the truth? If the
Jagger family’s security system was still intact, how could my people have breezed in so easily right
under the watchful eyes of your guards?”
Nelson’s expression gradually turned sour, yet he still refused to believe.
“Impossible! The people you brought are clearly being restrained by my people right now. How could
they have time to attack the Jagger family’s protection system?”
“Yeah, you’re right.” Avery raised an eyebrow. “I know when you heard we wereing to take over
the Jagger family, you set up surveince all over the ind. You’re well aware of the Cox family’s
actions. That’s exactly why I’ve prepared for both possibilities.
As he spoke, he pointed outside.
“The people you’ve been monitoring are those with me, but what you don’t know is that even before I
set off, I had dispatched a team overnight. They circumvented several inds, disguised themselves as
merchants, and arrived on this ind, sessfully avoiding your attention. After this, their most crucial
task was to breach the security system of the Jagger family. On the surface, it seems that the Cox
family’s actions are entirely under your control, and we are the ones being passive. However, the reality
is that the Cox family holds the initiative. Once we break through your protection system, we can freely
enter. Moreover, the entire securework of the ind will be severely damaged, and all the important
documents of the Jagger family will fall into the hands of the Cox family.”
Nelson’s face was a canvas of shifting emotions. It began with a look of incredulity, which soon
morphed into doubt, and finally settled into a scowl. Hisplexion grew darker.
He realized that Avery was not joking.
“How could you
“So, you’re asking me how I managed to prepare so much in advance, aren’t you? You should know
the answer to that. You said it yourself, we’re ying a game of chess. You can see every move I
make, but I can’t predict yours But do you think I’m foolish enough not to have a backup n? I told
you, until the very end, you won’t know what my trump card is. And this team, they’re my trump card. If
I dared to step into your territory, of course, I would have a foolproof n. Nelson, you’ve
underestimated me.”
The expression on Nelson’s face darkened at this moment, looking rather unpleasant.
Trust admit I didn’t expect someone like you to emerge from the Bartitsu Guild. You’re right for
knew you were capable, but I still underestimated your abilities.

Avery lifted the corner of his lips, smiling meaningfully. “You tter me.”
Then, he asked, “So, have you decided? Will you submit obediently, or choose to resist?”
Nelson sneered, “Don’t be so sure of yourself. Until thest moment, we won’t know who the loser and
the winner are.”
Avery nodded in understanding. “I get it.”
With that, he suddenly attacked. When no one expected it, he dashed forward in a sh, standing right
in front of Nelson.
At some point, a dagger had appeared in his hand. He held it against Nelson’s throat, its sharp de
pressing tightly against his windpipe.
“Mr. Jagger!”
“Mr. Jagger!”
Several voices rang out simultaneously. Maverick was startled. The faces of the death guards also
changed one after another.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out. Everyone started to take action.
However, those death guards were restrained by Avery’s men, unable to move forward.
Violet rushed up to Maverick and started fighting with him.
Although Maverick was physically strong, he couldn’t gain the slightest advantage when dealing with
Violet.
In less than ten moves, blood was visible on Maverick’s neck. He fell to the ground and soon, he was
motionless.
Violet looked down at him from her lofty position, her gaze cold and indifferent, as if she were looking at
an insect. She watched him, eyes wide open, as he drew hisst breath.
“Your personal assistant doesn’t seem to be all that.” She seemed unsatisfied, pouting her lips, clearly
bored.
This scene, unfolding before Nelson’s eyes, caused his expression to darken further and further.
At that moment, the de pressed a fraction deeper into his skin. Avery looked at him with a smile that
wasn’t quite a smile.
“Nelson, at this point, you should know what needs to be done, right? Stubborn resistance will only be
in vain.”
Nelson turned deathly pale. He hadn’t expected Avery to be so brilliant, both in mind and action. Before
he could react, he found himself pinned down on the couch.
The stabbing pain in his throat sank his heart to the depths.
However, he had no intention of surrendering.
Suddenly, his gaze drifted elsewhere, and the corner of his mouth lifted in an enigmatic smile. His
previously stern expression changed in an instant.
“Avery, as I just said, until the veryst moment, it’s still uncertain who will lose and who will win.
