He followed Nelson’s gaze, looking up to the high ground behind him.
Almost simultaneously, something intermingled with the biting wind abruptly hurled itself toward him.
Before he had fully turned his head, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a dazzling light.
In the next moment, something pierced into his shoulder.
“Satan!” Violet eximed upon witnessing the scene and quickly rushed over.
The rest of the Cox family were also greatly shocked.
At that moment, Avery’s body went limp, and the dagger slipped from his hand. He straightened up,
staggered back a couple of steps, and uncontrobly fell backward.
Violet moved swiftly, rushing to his side and steadying him with a firm grip.
“Satan, are you all right?” A rare look of panic appeared on her face. She reached out to touch his
shoulder de from behind, instantly staining her hand with blood.
“You’re hurt!” she eximed, noticing that Avery’splexion had visibly darkened before turning pale.
It all seemed to ur in a blink for Avery. The instant he felt a piercing sensation, his body sumbed
to numbness, swiftly followed by a sudden drain of vitality.
He knew this feeling all too well. It was a stealth weapon, a poisoned one at that.
At that moment, he tightly gripped Violet’s wrist, bracing himself to keep from falling. Clenching his
teeth, he warned her, “There’s a stealth weapon… Get out of here quickly!”
In this house, there were others lurking, just waiting to deliver a fatal blow.
Realizing this, he yelled with all his might, “Move! Retreat!”
No sooner had the words been spoken than two darts flew from above, and two more people fell.
Nelson rose from the couch, lightly touching the bloodstain on his neck. With a cold/smile, he said,
“You want to leave? In your dreams! Avery, you have your trump card, and I have mine too!”
As he was speaking, several people fell one after another.
Violet looked at the scene, gritted her teeth, and without any hesitation, she draped Avery’s arm over
her shoulder,
“Hold on to me!” she said. Then, turning around, she dashed toward the door.
But at this moment, members of the Cox family were sessively injured by the stealth weapon, falling
to the ground unable to rise. The Jagger family had regained the upper hand.

Naturally, Nelson would not let Avery escape. He immediately ordered his men to capture Avery and
Violet under any circumstances.
And so, everyone shifted their focus, turning toward Violet.
Luckily, at this moment, Irwin and Finnley charged in with their men.

“What’s wrong with Mr. Cox?” Irwin was utterly shocked to see that Avery had fallen into
unconsciousness.

Violet gritted her teeth and said, “There’s no time to talk. Cover my back. I need to take him back to Ms.
Garcia!”
Upon hearing that she was looking for Neera, Irwin immediately understood that Avery must have
suffered a very serious injury.
At that moment, his face was icy cold. Leading arge group of men, he stormed in with an
unstoppable force, blocking those who tried to stop Violet.
With the disturbance gone, Violet exerted great effort to take Avery with her, hastily escaping from the
Jagger family’s power base. She didn’t dare to pause for even a moment and headed straight for the
docks.
Due to the explosion at the research base, the Bartitsu Guild had withdrawn all their manpower from
the Gordon family.
With this troublesome matter out of the way, Neera felt considerably more rxed.
When Jean had some free time, he took her out for fun again, this time without the triplets.
They were clearly dissatisfied, voicing theirints one after another.
“Daddy’s ying favorites, only taking Mommy out for fun and leaving us behind. Hmph!”
Jean chuckled, soothing each child in his arms.
“When I return this time, I will spend more time and y games with you all. How does that sound?”
The three little ones’ eyes lit up instantly when they heard that.
“Sure thing! Daddy, it’s a deal. No backing out!”
The triplets each made a pinky promise with him. Only then, feelingpletely satisfied, did they let
him go.
Neera got in the car, a hint of curiosity in her voice as she asked, “Where are you nning to take me?”
“You’ll know when we get there.” Jean kept her in suspense.
Despite being filled with doubts, Neera followed him to the dock, only to be even more perplexed.
“Are you taking me out to sea?”
Jean saw her stop in her tracks, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he simply took her hand and led
her onto the ferry.
It wasn’t until the ferry slowly pulled away from the dock that he said, “There’s a beautiful ind called
Sweetbriar Ind nearby, full of sweetbriar roses. I’m taking you there to rx.”
Phison itself was an ind, surrounded by many smaller inds.
Neera had been here for some time now, but she still didn’t know everything about the nearby inds.
She looked at him with suspicion. “I have no idea about Sweetbriar Ind. How do you know it so
well?”
Jean responded with a hum, then said nonchntly, “I inquired about it, and then I bought it.”
Neera was utterly astonished. “You… You bought it? This is an ind in Phison. You were able to buy
it?”

ell, he does have a point.
weetbriar Ind was very close to Phison. After only half an hour of sailing, they reached their
destination.
fter disembarking, Neera discovered that the name of the ind was derived from the sweetbriar roses
found all ver it.
The air was filled with the delicate fragrance of sweetbriar roses, and the asional sea breeze would
waft by, ntensifying this delightful scent.
Neera and Jean strolled hand in hand for quite a while, their interest growing with every passing
moment. They were in high spirits, absolutely delighted.
“This ce is truly beautiful, boasting both the beauty of nature and the refreshing charm created by
human hands. Theyplement each other perfectly. I feel so much better here.”
Jean smiled. “I’m d you like it. After I bought it, I had professionalse over and do some work on
it. The ind isn’t big, but it’s beautifully done and perfect for a leisurely vacation. If you like it, you can
come here to rx whenever you’re tired. I’ve even prepared a runway.”
