    The Bartitsu Guild was not easily overthrown, making it a formidable opponent.

    Furthermore, the Cox family was not only dealing with the guild, but also with the Hoffman and Laker


    families, as well as several others. They were surrounded by enemies on all sides.


    Avery did not want to involve the Gordon family, especially Neera.


    However, Neera shook her head, showing concern. Despite her worry, she remainedposed and


    systematic, showing no signs of panic.


    “If we consider personal interests, I cannot stand by and do nothing. Even though we haven’t known


    each other for long, I consider you a friend. When a friend is in trouble, I cannot remain indifferent. As


    for the rtionship between our families, I believe my uncle wouldn’t just stand by and watch the Cox


    family face hardship alone.”


    She paused and added, “Moreover, I am just a nominal head of the family. When ites to the lives


    of so many people, I cannot make the decision alone. I will discuss this matter with my uncle when I


    return. Ultimately, it is up to him to decide.”


    Avery knew he couldn’t influence Chad’s thoughts. After contemting for a moment, he nodded


    slightly, choosing not to say anything more.


    Upon returning home, Neera ryed everything Avery had said to Chad.


    Chad was not surprised. “I knew it. The Cox family would never do anything against the rules. It seems


    that the Bartitsu Guild is really determined to fight the Cox family until the end. They won’t back down


    until they bring down. the Cox family.”


    Neera was deeply worried. “What should we do then? Are we just going to stand by and do nothing?”


    Chad raised an eyebrow. “Silly girl, how could we? The Gordon and Cox families have been close for


    generations. There’s no reason to back down at such a crucial moment. Besides, the Cox and Gordon


    families are now in the same boat. If one falls, the other suffers. If the Cox family were to copse, the


    future of the Gordon family wouldn’t be any better.”


    Upon hearing that, Neera felt somewhat relieved.


    No matter what dangers they might face, the mutual support between the two families would ensure


    that the Cox family never be left alone and defenseless.


    Beside her, Jean listened in silence, not expressing any opinions, yet he was secretly surprised.


    He did not expect the Cox family to actually have an armory.


    In Phison, having an armory would make anyone envious.


    However, this only applied to the Bartitsu Guild. Over at Lordsworth Estate, things were much more


    peaceful.


    With this thought, his eyes flickered, and a new idea surfaced in his mind.


    During dinner, while Neera and Chad were discussing how to respond, he unexpectedly made a


    suggestion.


    “Since the Gordon family and the Cox family have decided topletely break off rtions with the


    Bartitsu Guild, why not let the Gordon family and the Cox family relocate to the jurisdiction of


    Lordsworth Estate?”


    As soon as these words were spoken, the entire family froze, all eyes turned toward him,

    “Relocate to Lordsworth Estate?” Chad’s eyebrows raised slightly. He was not at all offended by this


    suggestion. Instead, there was a hint of interest in his eyes. “Are you suggesting that the Cox and


    Gordon families should join


    us?”


    Jean exined calmly, “It’s not joining us. If we’re talking about betrayal, it should be the Bartitsu Guild


    betraying the Gordon family and the Cox family. It was the guild that was unkind and unjust first, so why


    should the Gordon family and the Cox family still uphold so-called kindness and justice? Are they


    supposed to just stand by and watch as the Cox family and the Gordon family are overthrown by the


    guild? A talented person should choose a workce suitable for themselves. Since the Bartitsu Guild


    can no longer amodate the Cox and Gordon. families, there’s no need for them to continue


    serving the guild. Living in Phison, one must choose a sphere of influence. Apart from the guild, there is


    Lordsworth Estate. At present, it is safest for the Cox and Gordon families to go to Lordsworth Estate.”


    Despite what he said, Neera still felt uneasy in her heart.


    “But even if we want to pledge allegiance to them, will they agree to it? We used to be under the


    command of the Bartitsu Guild. I wonder if they would be willing to ept us…”


    Jean gave a slight smile. “I think there should be no problem. After all, we have you.”


    “Me?” Neera pointed to herself, then quickly remembered the lord of Lordsworth Estate. “Are you


    suggesting that the lord would ept the Cox and Gordon families for my sake? Is that… even


    possible?”


    “How can it be impossible?” Jean spoke lightly, his expression indifferent. “You saved the lord’s life. To


    repay you, he has helped you and the Gordon family many times, even going so far as to willingly give


    up his position as district president. Isn’t this a small matter for him to ept both of your families? If


    you’re still unsure, you can talk to Colin Wiley first to gauge the situation.”


    Neera felt that something was off. She furrowed her brows in thought, then suddenly grasped the key


    point.


    “How do you know about Colin? Have you heard of him?”


    Jean immediately realized that he had let something slip, but he didn’t panic. Instead, he smoothly


    covered up his


    mistake.


    “Yes, I’ve heard of him. Colin is one of the seven branch leaders under themand of Lordsworth


    Estate, a man of great renown. I’ve done my research in advance and am aware of his public challenge


    to the vice president of the Bartitsu Guild, Matthew Lozano.”


    “Oh, I see…” Neera nodded in understanding, then turned to Chad and asked, “Uncle Chad, do you


    think it’s feasible?”


    Chad stared at Jean meaningfully. After a long pause, he finally spoke in a soft voice. “It’s not that we


    can’t give it a try. After all, the Cox and Gordon families can’t stay in the guild any longer. This could be


    a way out. However, we can’t speak for the Cox family. We need to ask Avery about this matter.”


    After dinner, Neera went to the balcony and made a call to Avery.

    Avery clearly hesitated and showed a bit of resistance when he heard that.


    To be honest, I don’t enjoy being dependent on others. The reason we’re affiliated with the Bartitsu


    Guild is because it’s been a family tradition for over a hundred years. But to actively seek someone


    else’s protection? I’ve never done such a thing.”


    Neera understood his pride and said helplessly, “But this is the current situation. It’s either Lordsworth


    Estate or the Bartitsu Guild. The Bartitsu Guild has clearly made up its mind to eradicate the Cox and


    Gordon familles, taking away all our power and benefits. We can’t stay here any longer.”

    Avery also understood. After considering for a moment, he said, However, Lordsworth Estate is also


    known for its ruthlessness. We can only determine whether we should go or not after discussing it with


    them


    Exactly Neera agreed I will arrange a meeting with Colin. We will try to find some time in the next few


    days to sit down and talk Once the time is set, I will inform you


    She had assumed that arranging a meeting with someone as prominent as Colin would be difficult.


    Unexpectedly, it went surprisingly smoothly


    She reached out to Colin through Caleb The moment he heard it was her, he agreed to meet her that


    very day without hesitation


    The conversation went much smoother than she had anticipated


    They agreed to meet in a private room on the second floor of a cafe
